Super's next arc and villain ideas: naming puns

Post by SilverPlaqueVII » Thu Mar 10, 2016 2:30 am

From the looks of things, I think Super needs a major supervillain and its henchmen. My idea for that is to name them from a specific theme, for example, anything that is found on a farm or poultry/meat-themed (e.g. Chicken, Beef, Lamb, etc...). Another idea is anything that is laundry-themed.

Any name pun themes would you like to contribute based on the things we see or eat in real life?

I'd like to see punny names based off of utensils. Fork, spoon, knife, spatula etc.

I can vouch for it, if I were Toriyama then it will go like this:


Shitai (死体; Shitai)
Baguhontai (バッグ本体; Baggu Hontai) - Rearranged from "body bag"
Yokusei (抑制器; Yokuseiki)
Pistol (ピストル; Pisutoru)
Knife (ナイフ; Naifu)
Rifle (ライフル; Raifuru)

I think it needs a major villain powerful enough to force both Goku and Vegeta to use SSGSS. That would be epic. As for name puns, ech. I'm really bad at those ^^
Let's see, we've have vegetables, instruments, the cold, alcohol.... hm.... I think one for weapons suggested earlier would be a good idea.

Zarama could be that.

Does Zarama's name have a pun in it?

Someone's comment on instagram about Vegeta and Cabba

"A prince of a dead race, who has never known what it's like to lead his people finally got the chance. And even though it was just one, he made it count. He set aside all of his character traits to assume the role as the rightful king of his people and teach a member of his race a valuable lesson. Vegeta's character arch came full circle today."

How I wish that dub-only line "All hail Vegeta, Prince of No One" was cannon. Would have made this moment even more :cry:

This would be awesome. It would be sweet If each of their skills were based on the weapon name. Pistol would get you from medium to close range. Rifle is a long distance fighter. Knife gets in your face. Body Bag would be awesome; maybe Body Bag could absorb people with some type of bag? :lolno:

I'd like to see more animalist names (not like Pokemon, but almost). Even in appearance it would be nice.

A reptilian four-footed guy (It would be nice. In Dragon Ball everything is humanoid....We could have a villain four-footed. He could show another way to fight, technique and real poison (Goku and Piccolo was defeated by a poison...They could improve this deficiency in next arc). The name could be based on "lizard".

Another good idea is to bring someone not too strong, but having some unique techniques (like control mind, teleport enemy. He can teleport Vegeta to another universe for example :lol: even being too weak...)

I don't think it will work in DragonBall, personally I don't like the idea of an animalistic appearance of a villan in dragonball

I always thought of Freeza, Zarbon, and others like that to be reptilian. For some reason I got that reptilian vibe coming from them.

How about a valkyrie that went through a sex change? Valkeerie.
An evil doer that sends messages before killing people? Mailvolent.

You're not the only one. Whenever I watch the Namek saga I sense that Both Zarbon and Freeza have reptilian characteristics to them.

Well, Zarbon does have his reptilian form.

Since we got 2 named after liquor... How about Weed, Jane, marij, wunuh, kush, blunt, roach etc. You could switch the letters around so it isn't painfully obvious.

Whoever the next major villain is, it's obviously not going to be Zarama as Toriyama stated that Goku won't be surpassing Beerus or Whis anytime soon. Zarama will likley omnipotent or at the very least stronger than Whis so there's no way they would pit Goku against a villain that completly out of his league.



I can however see him being the final villain for Super as a whole though.
