And they could have just went with Oolong for this one. It would have made more sense.

I see they've confused hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy with Dragon Ball.

Either you're Hitchikers fan or you have some really random knowledge in that brain o' yours. "They floated in the air the exact same way bricks don't."

Love and Zilch is what makes me just want to say: "why"?

EDIT: I didn't even see underwear now that you mention it.

"Zilch" is what Nickelodeon was able to come up with for Z. Idiots.

Let's face it, Nickelodeon hasn't really understood anime since they stopped showing their old shows like "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Noozles", and "Mysterious Cities of Gold".

Because Vegeta is one. He hates and wants nothing to do with all other races accept Saiyajins. Of course that changes later on.

Okay, that makes sense. But, I am still having trouble with "love".

I suppose that makes sense, but its still something I don't think can be associated with DB right away.

Just out of curiousity; why did Nickelodeon make this list anyway? It's not like Nickelodeon has really done anything to do with DB in the past.
