Flying Nimbus

Flying Nimbus (筋斗雲, Kinto'un; lit. "Somersault Cloud") is a magical, yellow cloud that serves as a way of transportation. It plays a vital role in Dragonball. Goku obtains the Nimbus from Master Roshi as compensation for saving Turtle. It served Goku and his sons well throughout Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, by acting as a way for them to fly around at high speeds without using up any energy. The Nimbus makes its last brief appearance, with the Power Pole, in Dragon Ball GT at the closing scene of the last episode, when Goku flies off on it. The Flying Nimbus also appears in the parody manga Dragon Ball SD.
