Later, when he and Donkey are approaching the castle where Fiona is, Donkey asks if the brimstone he was smelling came from him.

* In the story "Stink Bomb" from ''Anime/{{Memories}}'', lab technician and unassuming nobody Nobuo Tanaka mistakes experimental pills for cold pills. Since the pills were part of a biological research program, it reacts negatively to the flu in his system. This results in Nobou's body emitting a smell so foul it kills everyone in his prefecture (including all 200,000 inhabitants of Kofu city), gas masks and NBC suits useless in protecting against it. The only thing that is capable of withstanding it are space-suits, the Japanese government borrowing NASA spacesuits in order to get close enough to subdue him.

Pleasant spring flowers die in seconds, animals run in horror, the wallpaper peels, everyone's hair stands up before falling off, and when ThePigPen finally decides to take a bath, the bathwater kills the fish and leaves a rainbow sheen on the surface of the water. No amount of [[TomatoSkunkStinkCure tomato soup]] could do anything about this stank.

Even when the fruit is still on the branch, the smell is so powerful it causes the surrounding area in the radius of miles to rot, while other food and clothing will rot away as well, and when the mature fruit drops from the plant and touches the ground, the following wave of stench is so powerful it can be smelled all over the planet, awakening hybernating bears and causing Toriko and Komatsu to faint for a month (as in, they keep fainting, waking up and fainting again). To add insult to injury, if the fruit is approached with any countermeasure against the smell, it will disappear. On the bright side, eating the Dodurian Bomb will immediately causes any bad smell lingering on the eater to disappear.
