Except OP's talking about the aesthetic (how it looks), not the story itself.

Another boring episode. Nothing fun about seeing Gokuu and co struggle against guns or a bunch of fodder soldiers.

Oh, Spopovich may also be a pun on "Raspopovich", which is approximated in katakana as ラスポポビッチ (Rasupopobitchi). Compare that to スポポビッチ (Supopobitchi). But Spopovich is probably just a pun on Popovich, which is a more common surname than Raspopovich. Some more interesting info I've found. In...

Updated many times over Famalam

Well, his biggest influences as an artist were Osamu Tezuka and Walt Disney, iirc. His round art style for Dr. Slump was carried over to DB at first. As the series became more action-oriented, the art style gradually became straighter and more angular. This was probably to help him draw fight...

He fit them into his nutsack

He already lost to Gokuu so if they went at it again he would lose again. Nothing to do with Gokuu getting a boost upon being healed. Frankly, the only reason Piccolo came close to killing Gokuu was because Gokuu dropped his guard during the countdown, which led to Piccolo shooting him through...

Zenkai weren't a thing back then so no

Gohan hits Cell in the head. Cell throws up Eighteen. Wat

Oh right lol Then what was the point of the others powering up lol

Gohan, Piccolo, Kurilin, Tenshinhan, and Roh-shi all needed to power up for Gokuu to come back to Earth in the movie.

Darbra was clean after SS2 Trunks's beatdown, too. Lol @ citing Trashtaro

After having looked more into it, I'd say, yeah, it's probably a pun on キラ (kira), meaning "shining" or "sparkling". A variant of キラ (kira) is キラーン (kirān), which is similar to the character's name キラーノ (Kirāno). キラーン (kirān) キラーノ (kirāno) Similar looking kana. Similar looking romaji. Similar...

I guess it might be a pun on "killer" since the katakana can translate to "Killerno". Thing is, Keela/Kiela's (racist black stereotype guy at the 25th Budoh-kai, got knocked out by Trunks) name was a pun on "killer" and I dunno if Toriyama was so uncreative that he'd reuse the same source word...

キラーノ (Kirāno) is his name in katakana. Funimation changed it to "Nareg". Ocean changed it to "Giron". Viz romanized it as "Killerno". I don't know what any of these names mean lol. All this time, I thought his name was a pun on the Japanese name 煌乃 (Kirano), which I thought meant "shining". But...

Updated fam The Boo arc is such a trainwreck lol

All the more reason rival boost isn't a thing, then. Head canon and you just explained why Gokuu and Vegeeta aren't rivals, power-wise.

The French edition came out first, so I'm inclined to believe it's the best translation of the Japanese text. The other editions probably just used the French version as a base, but lost some things in translation or localization.

It's just a knotted wooden cane to help him walk

Gogeeta is confirmed = to Vegett and Fusion dance isn't said to have a rival boost so Rival boost = nonexistent
