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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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. Katakana: ビルス Hepburn: Birusu Toei: Beerus (at one point Beers and Bills) Bandai: Beerus Shuiesha: Beerus Viz: Beerus Funimation...

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...

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...

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...

@Evil Vegeta

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)...

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.

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

1. Suiho Tagawa (creator of Norakuro, the first popular manga in 1931) 2. Machiko Hasegawa (one of the first female manga artists and creator of Sazae-san in 1946) 3. Osamu Tezuka (creator of Astro Boy, the most iconic anime/manga character ever) 4. Shotaro Ishinomori (creator of Cyborg 009. He...
