Trivia[]
- Soba's name is a pun on the Japanese word for noodles, which happens to be "Soba".
- Soba was originally the name of Emperor Pilaf's dog-like henchman, who was later renamed Shu.
- Soba looks very similar to Kishime, one of the three Bio-Warriors that serve Dr. Wheelo. Kishime's name is also a reference to noodles.
- Soba's power level in the game easily surpasses that of the Ginyu Force, which means had they not died on Namek, they might have been unsuccessful in the conquest of planet Yardrat.
