The Kinto Un
The Kinto Un (or Nimbus Cloud as it is called in the dub) is a cloud given to Goku by Muten Roshi. In exchange for bring Turtle back to him, Roshi agrees to give them a bird, the Phoenix, who's supposedly supposed to grant eternal life. However, the bird had died and so instead, Goku and friends were awarded the Kinto Un. However, in order to ride the Kinto Un, you have to possess a pure heart. One who isn't pure of heart, basically falls right through the cloud, as Muten Roshi and Bulma soon discovered. ^^; As you can guess, the cloud was given to Goku who, effortlessly, rode the cloud through the skies. Goku continues to use this cloud for the remaining of DragonBall. In DragonBall Z, we even get to see the cloud again, (obviously Goku remains pure of heart) however, mainly during the first saga. After Goku learns the flying technique, we never see this cloud again until Gohan uses it to fly to high school.
