Editing King Yemma (section)

=== Dr. Slump ===
The mythological figure King Yemma, known as Enma in the Japanese version of ''Dragon Ball'', is directly inspired by the deity Enma from Japanese folklore. This figure also appears in Akira Toriyama's earlier manga, ''Dr. Slump''. In that story, Enma hires Trampire and her servant as grim reapers to retrieve [[Senbei Norimaki]] after he dies from being hit by a coconut. However, [[Arale Norimaki]] intervenes, tagging along and throwing a pile of poop at Enma, enraging him. Furious, Enma sends them all to Hell, unaware that Arale's friend, Chivil, is already working to return them to the living world. As a result of the chaos, Enma fires Trampire and her servant.

==== The Brief Return of Dr. Slump ====
The ''Dragon Ball'' version of Enma makes a cameo in the sequel manga ''The Brief Return of Dr. Slump'', appearing in the chapter "Hoyoyo Sentai Araranger," which parodies the ''Super Sentai'' genre. After [[Dr. Mashirito]]'s mech is destroyed by Arale, he finds himself in the Other World. Enma judges him and sentences him to Hell. Mashirito, undeterred, angrily demands that someone use the Dragon Balls to bring him back to life.
