Ah that's interesting, any particular reason why you order names that way?

Re: My Personal Names for Characters/Attacks/etc. What're yours?

I'm back and this time doing Saiyajin names! I originally planned to go in order through the series but I was getting a bit burnt out so I decided I'd just go in chunks and do different groups until I'm all done.

As always please let me know if anything's wrong, if I missed one, or if you have any ...

You see this with her other family members too, they all just use the source word directly as names.

That's a really good point, I'd never thought of that before. I'm thinking I'm probably going to refer to her as Bloomers.

• Blooma (ブルマ/ Buruma )
- Source: (Bloomers)


This one could just as well be "Bloomers" for the character name as well. I don't think that Toriyama is necessarily playing with the Kana syllables in this one, but instead taking the character's name directly from the source word. From what I ...

Re: My Personal Names for Characters/Attacks/etc. What're yours?


I believe this was partially why Tenshinhan got turned into Tien - that and sloppiness, since they probably went off of Chiaotzu calling him "Ten-san" too.


I always assumed it was just because they wanted to shorten his name to Ten to make it easier for American kids to remember, but didn't ...

Re: My Personal Names for Characters/Attacks/etc. What're yours?


Since Beerus was supposed to be Virus but Akira Toriyama mistook "Birusu" for "Beers", I call his big blast thing the Corona for the perfect double pun that brings them both together.

Lmao okay that's pretty good. I applaud you :clap:

Re: My Personal Names for Characters/Attacks/etc. What're yours?


- I use Transcendental Reflex in French, but that official French manga adaptation is pretty far from what the English translators chose. So because the international fans could wonder what I'm even talking about if I bring it up, I make the effort to use their own English term in that specific ...

My Personal Names for Characters/Attacks/etc. What're yours?

Character names in Dragon Ball have always been something I've found endlessly fascinating. It's probably one of my favorite parts of the franchise. So I decided to take on the ridiculous task of going through the entire series and working out how I'd adapt literally everyone's name. I hope this ...

Re: Most Wanted FighterZ Character

I would love it if they added Toppo, they could have some of his attacks be the other Pride Troopers in the same way they did Ginyu.

I unfortunately don't think they'd do this since they seem to only really focus on the anime for Super, but I'd totally love to see some more manga only characters ...

The Parallels Between Namekians and J.R.R. Tolkien's Elves

I have always thought that Namekians were the"Elves" of the Dragon World. They both have mystical abilities, long lifespans, and of course pointed ears. But Dragon Ball Super ch. 69 has validated this for me even more. Since it's been revealed that the Namekians came to Universe 7 (and presumably 6 ...
