The Lecherous Muten Roshi wrote:Also, he'd probably have to write "孫 悟空" since it's not just a nickname he made up or anything, but the name his Grandfather gave him in infancy.
That's my question: would " 孫 悟空 " be considered his name, or would " カカロット"?
Another consideration: does the Death Note only work on humans? Reapers are immune, but is this because they are from another world or are the Death Notes simply incapable of affecting non-humans?

The Lecherous Muten Roshi wrote:What about the second guy he killed? Light wrote his name a bunch of times to make sure he spelled it right. (I noticed this contradiction before, by the way.)
I'd assume he spelled it correctly within the first 4 tries.

I thought about the first question for a while and really couldn't come up with anything that wouldn't be complete speculation (read: bullshit)... But maybe if Light has Misa with him, she could tell him which name is above Goku's head.
And I'm not sure about your second question. Are you asking if it would affect Saiya-jins or maybe the dog next door that won't stop howling at the moon?

While it didn't occur, all this Death Note talk has me worried about spoilers. Let's talk about something else...like the idea that Spider Man could beat Majin Boo.
btw, HAH

Yes, I, too, fear the spoilers.
Anyway, some fair matchups that would be interesting.
22nd-23rd Budokai Contestants vs Naruto Characters. This is one thing I talk about with my brother sometimes, with him being a Naruto fan as well as a Dragon Ball fan. Like I said, I'd love to see someone like Tao or Pre-Saiyajin Arc Tenshinhan take on the likes of Kakashi.
21st-22rd Budokai Contestants vs Mortal Kombat Characters. C'mon, don't tell me you wouldn't want to see Jackie Chun take on Shang Tsung, or Namu go toe to toe with Liu Kang.
Red Ribbon Army vs G.I. Joes. Who says it has to be martial arts? How about the Joes taking on an evil organization other than Cobra? Throw in a fist fight between Black and Roadblock and we've got something interesting.
GT Characters vs Unicron. Okay, we know that GT Goku was insanely strong, to the point of making fools of Freeza and Cell without even transforming. But hey, who else is gonna take on the God of Destruction? Okay, maybe Majin Boo.
Freeza's Empire vs The Empire. Okay, we all know Freeza could blow up the Death Star with a Death Ball, but we'll assume the powerful Emperors don't actually get involved. Let's not forget that the vast majority of Freeza's henchmen can't use ki and rely on weapons, and most of his elites have a battle power less than 10,000 (which I believe you can gather from the Bardock Special if you pay attention). Besides, we all know what we really want to see is Appule getting some action by taking out some Stormtroopers.
Dr. Gero & Jinzoningen vs Dr. Wily & Robot Masters. Okay, this one's not as fair, but I'm a Classic Mega Man fan, too. Though, Mega Man is more suited to pair up in bouts with Sonic The Hedgehog. Sonic vs Mega Man. Knuckles vs Protoman. Robotnik vs Wily. Shadow vs Bass. Amy vs Roll. E-123 vs Duo. VegettoEX's "no off topic" rule vs The Lecherous Muten Roshi... Oh, wait. I'd better cut myself off here.

No , he didn`t
Yes he did, in February 1961. Mr. Mxyzptlk let a cloud of magic sneezing powder loose on Metropolis and (pre-Crisis) Superman couldn't hold back a "super-sneeze" that destroyed an entire distant solar system.
As for the Galactus , SS and other characters going at it with DBZ characters , I`m going to tell what I think about it later .
Please don't. No one cares.
-Corey
You do know that a Solar System
isn`t the same with a galaxy , right ? Oh wait , it seems you don`t .
As for him sneezing an Solar System I already
know that since I
own the issue .

He just confused the two terms. It was a simple mistake. And you never specified why he was wrong, you just flat-out disagreed, as is typical of your little "I'm a jerk" routine. That's why no one cares about your opinion. You can't be civilized.
And frankly, since you can barely even construct First Grade sentences, I really wouldn't go around accusing other people of having a "limited vocabulary."

He confused 2 terms ? How can you confuse galaxy with solar system ? You confuse them only if you don`t know what they mean , which is the case here . It`s like saying you confuse Europe with Italy .
1st grade sentences ?I`m not about to start a flame war because you`re not worth it and because I told VegetoEx that I`m not gonna insult people .

The guy didn't get confused about what they meant, he was mistaken on which one Superman destroyed. Two completely different things.

Not really . The first guy said that Superman destroyed a galaxy . I told him he was wrong and then this guy comes and says that he is actually right because Superman destroyed a Solar System in Action Comics 273 . Which means that he thinks they are the same thing .
Then there`s also the fact that another guy showed him wrong before me and he admitted he was wrong .

Oh for fuck's sake...
You're about a week late calling me on that one. Yes, I fucked up and I admitted it. It doesn't mean I don't know the difference, it means that at the time I went "Boy, this Magneto guy is an annoying bastard who I want to prove wrong so he'll go away..."
I got a little overzealous and made a mistake. And you're still here, so I failed at any rate. So please, continue to be the idiot of the week with your use of the "`" button (i.e. "you`re an idiot, lol"), simplistic posts and unjustified arrogance. kthx.

He didn't think they were the same thing. As Acid_Reign said, "you just flat-out disagreed." Corey could've implied you thought that Superman never did anything like it, and then posted what he actually did. If you would have backed up your simple "No he didn't" we wouldn't be here right now wasting whoever is reading this right now's time.

I`m just gonna ignore that retard(MajinVejitaXV) and reply to the other posts

As a matter of fact Superman really
never did anything like it because blowing up a
solar system with a sneeze is far from blowing up a
galaxy with a sneeze .
He posted that he destroyed a Solar System when the whole discussion was about him blowing up a Galaxy which means that he doesn`t see the difference between them .
And why exactly would I need to back
myself up when a guy comes and says that somebody did something , without backing himself up ? It`s
his job to prove his claims not my job to prove wrong something he can`t prove right .

I hope its the pleasure of banning Magneto.

OH and Magneto if the authors thought that X-ray vision can set things on fire than they probably have a loose grasp on science making the difference between a Solar system and galaxy null and void. (Plus its Mister Mxyzptlk nothing he does can be classified as science)Anyway this thread is about the subject of Dragon ball characters against of characters in pop culture. Not about Super man Magneto!

Holy good god, Magneto, shut the fuck up.
"He said this, but it was really this, so that means he's wrong, blur blargh blah blub."
Shut up. Humpski mixed up two, rather similar words. He clearly knows the difference, so he must have been misinformed, or perhaps he did simply mix up two words. No big deal. He was corrected (by Corey, not by you) and we moved on. The thread has moved on. Nothing you've said here has mattered.
You seem to be trying to pick fights with others. I'm not sure why, there's no prize for "winning the internet".
Stop being a dick, you're disrupting the thread. Keep it up, and you'll find yourself out on your ass.

Actually, since I can admit when I make mistakes,
I screwed up by not reading more carefully. I posted that Superman blew up a solar system when the argument had been about a galaxy instead. Oops. It's not like I'm beyond making a mistake or two

I have two words for you: Name them!

Sure.
Light hawk wing users and the chousins on the series Tenchi.
Lord Of Nightmares on the series Slayers.
Haruhi Suzumiya and Yuki Nagato on the anime called The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Okay, so I mixed up galaxy and solar system. I knew he blew away one of them, so I guessed Galaxy. Now I learn that he in fact blew away a solar system. Ok fine, but either way it still illustrates the point I was trying to make.
Goku doesn't have that kind of power. He can't sneeze away a galaxy OR a solar system.
Check out our home made films!
Lots of martial arts action and comedy.
