Hoi-Poi Capsule カプセル

(also known as the DynoCaps)

 

A Hoi-Poi Capsule (ホイポイカプセル) or simply a Capsule (カプセル), is the world-famous creation of Doctor Brief, the head of Capsule Corporation, for the sake of making objects easier to transport. Hoi-Poi Capsules allow you to shrink and store large, inorganic objects like cars, planes, and even entire houses into small, portable, thumb-sized cylinders. Nearly anything can be miniaturized into a capsule for a fee of 200,000 Zeni. To activate a capsule, press the button on top and throw it to instantly materialize the stored object.

1. Capsule No. 1 / House

A Capsule House is a type of house that can be put away and carried around in a capsule. They are entirely self-sufficient, with built-in power and water supplies as well as comfortable furnishings, allowing them to essentially function as mobile homes. Wherever your journey takes you, you can rest assured with the comforts of home in your pocket.

2. Capsule No. 9 / Motorcycle

The Capsule No. 9 Motorcycle is the iconic, retro-futuristic vehicle used by Bulma and Goku in the very first episode of the Dragon Ball series. Stored inside a Hoi-Poi Capsule, its unique features include bold red seats and a classic, rounded frame. An excellent choice for heading out on an adventure (or making a quick escape) these bikes get you from point A to point B in a flash.

3. Capsule No. 32 / Hovercar

Hovercars are iconic technological marvels that levitate using anti-gravity technology and are propelled via jet engines. As they don’t touch the ground, they are capable of being driven over water. Hovercars can also ascend to very high heights. These vehicles are designed for both comfort and capability, perfect for cruising the great outdoors.

4. Capsule No. 576 / VTOL Plane

The VTOL plane (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) from Dragon Ball is a staple vehicle invented by Capsule Corporation. Best known as Plane Capsule No. 576, it utilizes advanced anti-gravity technology to maneuver, take off vertically, and cruise, all while being compact enough to fit inside a pocket-sized Hoi-Poi Capsule. Seating up to 8 passengers, this is the fastest and most robust option for cross-continental travel.
