For
those who don't know what the Hfil I'm on about (I hope to Kami there
aren't many), Nimbus is the flying cloud owned by Goku. He doesn't
use it much if at all after the beginning of the Namek Saga (I think the
last time I saw Goku riding it was when he was on his way to Capsule
Corp headquarters, to see Dr. Briefs about his space ship, so he could
get to Namek).
Nimbus,
or Kinto'un was given to Goku early on in Dragonball, after he
and Bulma helped Master Roshi's turtle get back home to the sea (Bulma
got her reward of a 3 star dragonball after flashing to Master Roshi-eew!).
Nimbus
can only be ridden by someone with a pure heart (which is why is was of
little use to Master Roshi). Goku had no problem with this, we all
know how sweet and innocent he was in Dragonball, even more so than in
DBZ (if that is possible). even Krillen, at first, had, more than
a little difficulty riding it before he became firm friends with Goku.
Those who do not have a pure heart will fall straight through what is to
them, only a cloud.
It
was Given to Goku (like I said), by Master Roshi, who originally
received it from Kami. Roshi had intended to give Goku the gift of
immortality (like him), but after realizing that the "Immortal
Phoenix", which would be able to grant him immortality, had had an
"unpleasant incident with the birdseed", there was no immortal
phoenix, so Master Roshi had to think of something else.
Somehow,
Goku gets through more than one cloud. Goku, being Goku, manages
to get a few of them blown to pieces in various battles, so they end up
having to be replaced. Typical.
