[edit] Features of the lookout

[edit] Pendulum Room

This chamber is also known as the Room of Time in both the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z anime. Mr. Popo stated that the past, present, and future is operated and controlled for these rooms. The main function of the Pendulum Room is meant to send one or peoples' spirit through time to train. In Dragon Ball, Son Goku was sent back in time to learn from Muten-Rôshi's former sensei Master Mutaito about manipulating one's ki. In one Dragon Ball Z filler episode; Tenshinhan, Yamcha, Chaozu and Kuririn go into a similar room where their spirits go back in time to fight two Saiyans of the past. These rooms don't appear in the original manga.

[edit] Teleporter

In an early Dragon Ball filler episode, it is revealed that Kami's Lookout has a teleporter or transporter machine that allows anyone to go wherever they want to in the Dragon World.

[edit] Room of Spirit and Time

A room featured prominently in Dragon Ball Z, it is in a different time dimension, where a day outside is a year inside (or one minute outside is just over six hours inside). It is used by many major characters, and Gotenks fights Majin Buu in it. Piccolo destroys the door during this battle in an attempt to lock Buu inside forever, along with himself and Gotenks. However, Buu is able to escape by creating a portal by screaming at the top of his lungs, which Piccolo and Gotenks do after he escapes to let themselves out. Supposedly the room can only be used for up to 48 hours outside the chamber in one lifetime.

[edit] Inside the Lookout

While all of the above is on top of the lookout, there are two different things inside the lookout: In Dragon Ball Z, the very bottom of the lookout (where the Nyoi-bō fits in) is connected to all the winds of the world, to get there, one must go through a sacred area known as the Shinsenkai where all the past Kami of the earth exist.

In Dragon Ball GT, it was empty, allowing Goku and Uub to have their battle without harming the earth (since the door way leading to the Room of Spirit and Time was destroyed).
