    The Mystery of Spopovich and Yamuu's names.

    I solved the mystery of Spopovich's name earlier this year. It's obviously a pun on Popovich, alternatively spelled Popović, Popovytch, and Popovitch. In katakana, it's spelled as ポポビッチ (Popobitchi). Spopovich's name in katakana is スポポビッチ (Supopobitchi). We can see for ourselves that Spopovich...

    The Mystery of Pamput's Name

    Not exactly a mystery; although Toriyama had forgotten about the character when he was asked back in 2004's Dragon Ball Forever guidebook, he could tell that the name was Thai-esque. We can see for ourselves that he's based on a Muay Thai fighter, so it makes sense that his name would be...

    The Mystery of Bora and Upa's names

    Bora and Upa, Gokuu's two Native American stereotype friends. What do their names mean? Here's what Toriyama had to say on the matter. I believe this is from the Dragon Ball Forever (2004) guidebook. On Bora: “I don’t think there’s any particular meaning.” KEK. As for Upa, he said: “If I’m...

    My theory on what happened to Goku at the end of GT

    We know that when Goku swallowed the Four Star Ball, he purified it so that the Four Star Dragon wouldn't be corrupted by the One Star Dragon's evil energy. My theory is while it was inside Goku's body, some of Shenlong's essence that was inside the ball was transferred to Goku. Once the ball...

    What does Kaikai best translate to

    界界 I believe the repeating kanji indicates that Kaioshin is talking about more than world. Context being that he's moving from one world (or area, realm, boundary, etc) to another. Wiki says "world to world" but what do the native Japanese speakers think @Father @Dagon

    The Official Name Explanations Thread

    Instead of making a new thread every time I discuss a character's name, I'll keep it all in one thread from now on. Who am I discussing this time? The purple pussy.

    Tulece/Tullece/Turlece/Turles's name explained.

    Katakana: ターレス Hepburn: Tāresu Toei/Bandai: Tulece (once Turlece) Funimation: Turles In katakana, his name is ターレス (tāresu). His name is a pun on the English word "lettuce", which is レタス (retasu) in katakana. Swap the katakana around, add the long sound symbol ー (chōonpu), and you get ターレス...

    The reason Toriyama made Super Saiyans blonde revealed

    As we all know, he wanted to save ink on the B&W pages, but he never said why of all colors he decided on yellow. Or so I thought. From the French edition of The Legendary Manga guide: Si en Super Saïyen, il a les cheveux hérissés sur la tête, c'est parce qu'au Japon il y a une expression qui...

    The Mystery of Pintar/Punta/P'ntar's name

    Katakana: プンター Hepburn: Puntā Bandai: Punta Funimation: Pintar Viz: Punta His Japanese name プンター (Puntā) can also translate to "P'ntar", which would be pronounced like "Pintar". That may be why Funimation spelled his name as such. It's possible that his name is an anagram of sorts. Clues and...

    37 reasons why Bulma is an awful character

    Any counterarguments you may have, this list shuts them all down 1) She didn't invent the Dragon Radar. Pilaf did as he made his first. And he later perfected it to a satellite radar that could pull up the precise location of Dragon Balls on live video, surpassing Bulma's portable radar. 2)...

    Bulma was wrong to make the Time Machine

    1) Violated the laws of nature and gods. 2) Fucked up the spacetime continuum by creating three different timelines. 3) Led to Zamas killing everyone on Earth and Zeno erasing the entire multiverse in Future Trunks's timeline All to save one measly planet in the entire multiverse.

    Bang Zoom dub

    What y'all think I wish it continued tbh it's fun hearing the series not dubbed by Funimation. Anyway although the cast was pretty much all experienced most of them weren't putting much effort in their performances. Still it wasn't bad

You're probably old enough to be my dad.

I don't think it's normal to bully someone who is young enough to be your son. You should be ashamed of yourself.

As someone in their 40's you should help a mentally handicapped kid who is in their 20's not bully them. You're probably twice my age or more so you should be kind and act as my mentor or teacher in life instead of destroying my life with your evil. The older generation should lead the younger one.
