"Ojama" (Potential Giru/Gill Name)

Post by Dayspring » Sun Dec 19, 2004 11:16 pm

Anybody else hear this name before? The french daizenshuu called Gill this when they explained what the character designs for him were, but it's not like that's his dub name or anything since Gill in french is "Giru" (pronounced "Jee-ru"). So WTF is with "Ojama"? Was that's Toriyama's suggested name for him or something?

Toriyama did the character design for Giru, suggesting the name "Ojama Robo" ("Nuisance Robot"). I actually should scan that stuff from the GT Perfect files... :?

You have it? Here I was thinking I had a rare GT sketch to contribute along with the mini-manga. :(
Do you have the 2 planets, Goku, Trunks, Pan and Spaceship prototype pics, and the rejected phone card picture?

I'm borrowing Mike's Perfect Files :)

As for the illustrations, I believe those are all in the Perfect Files, although they might be in nicer quality in the Daizenshuu... :)

You're just saying that to be nice. We all know who has the better scanner! You might as well go ahead and do the lots of numbing menial work that only I would ever want to do by yourself! :cry:

I know Daizenshuu 7 had a few of Toriyama's GT sketches. I dont know how much more it has than the Perfect Files though.
