Trivia[]

Ghost Usher's face resembles that of the Slime creatures from the Dragon Quest franchise. Since Akira Toriyama was involved in both Dragon Ball and Dragon Quest, the similarities were probably intentional.
Despite the Ghost Usher having been predominately voiced by women in the Funimation dub, his appearance in Dragon Ball Super is performed by men as in the Japanese version and the Blue Water dub.
