Ginyu Force questions

Fuujin · Post by **Fuujin** » Sun Nov 21, 2004 3:48 pm

I'm working on a Ginyu Force site and I need some information...

1. I've seen Guldo listed on some sites as a "Bas-jin", were did that come from? I don't recall hearing it in the anime.

2. For people who watch/read versions of DBZ other than English and Japanese - how were the Ginyu Force handled in other countries? How were their voices in the anime? Any name changes? Strange dialogue?

3. Are there any other Ginyu cameos after Freeza Saga, aside from: the "Paikuhan in hell" one, the one when they were watching the Goku vs Buu fight, movie 12 and Super #17 Saga in GT?

4. Ginyu Force (and many, many, MAAAANY other characters in various mangas) seem to be parodying of japanese live-action superhero shows, can anyone give me some more detailed information on the subject? Maybe Toriyama says something more about the origin of Ginyu Force in some interview?

5. Last question - anyone seen any interesting Ginyu Force fanarts/fanfics? All I know about are the ones that were on now dead Michi no Chikara.

3. I think you named them all!

4. Kid shows in Japan like Sentei (or somethin') rangers (Power Rangers before coming in US and others), Ultraman, basically super heroes and villains in weird, rubber suits and stuff! This is where the idea of the Great Saiyaman came from!

I have one strange Cameo for you. In the Cell games during Gohan's birthday episode we see a frog crying outside the window, it's spoted and has the two antennae so I think it's captain Ginyu.

Are you counting when they fight the humans on Kaiou's planet, and then get sent to hell? Oh, I mean HFIL!!! 1337!!111

If we're going to start listing Ginyu Frog cameos

-The episode where Gohan makes a wish to Porunga shows Ginyu Frog crying.
-The very last episode of the Freeza arc shows that Ginyu Frog is now ruler over Dr.Breif's green house, heh.

Well, I'll give you the danish names, at least:
Rikoom, Barta, Jeeze, Guldo and Ginyu.
The danish translators tend to give the characters names that are close to the original, but completely eliminates the pun.

Stupid lines.. well, their "motto", or whatever, is "In smoka and steam, we'll head into battle" or something.

Though Ginyu does have one of the best lines in the entire series: "Det tilgiver jeg aldrig den skidestøvle!" (Directly translated: "I'll never forgive that bastard for that." (referring to Goku killing half his group, messing up their pose). It just sounds a lot cooler.)

The ironic thing on the Sentai connection is that Toei does that show as well. Though there was never as much of the guys doing the pose making such a big deal out of it like the Ginyu Force did in either Sentai, or Power Rangers.

Oh! I remember before the Cell Games, Gohan had his birthday, and Captain Ginyu the Frog was watching it.

Thanks for the support, guys! Now that leaves us with "the Bas-jin conspiracy" and the fan-stuff. Any of the resident fanfic fans (heh) know some?

The 25th Ten. Budo. where Gohan/ Gt. Saiyaman picked up a Ginyu frog.

Do you think Ginyu likes being a frog now? Does he have a Mrs. Frog somewhere? Any kids?

Actually, there was that girl frog that was all over him in the Freeza saga...
