Personally, I've never really understood the "ReaCoom" spelling. What's with the random capitalization of the "c" in there?
Maybe to bring out the pun since it's the beginning of the word cream?

Yeah, I sort of figured that, but it still seems weird to me since no one does that for any of the other pun-based names.

None of the other pun-based names move the first consonant around into the middle of the name.

ReaCoom is a filler character?

Yeah, neither he nor the rest of the Ginyu Force were in the manga. What really happened was,
-Nail beats Vegeta to a bloody pulp.
-Goku arrives and tells Nail to stop.
-He doesn't listen so Goku and Nail fight. *Insert Goku screwing up somehow against someone with a 40,000 power level*
-Nail is left for dead by Vegeta after Goku gives him a senzu bean. Goku would have saved him, but they assumed he was dead. Though Goku was still in pretty bad shape.
-Vegeta takes Goku to Frieza's ship to heal his wounds.
-The events of Frieza take place and blah blah.

That's pretty much what went down.

Oh, god. While I'm here, I guess I can add this to the list of "Dragonball stuff [I've] just realized."

Yasai right?

Man, I never even payed attention to "ReaCoom" before, but now I'm a bit curious as to why the C is capital. Maybe it is to help people understand the pun? Or is it written a special way in Japanese?

I don't understand... The "jin" part means person (or something like that), so what does that have to do with the first letter of the pun being shifted to the middle of the name?

Huh, as I was watching a few episodes here and there with Japanese audio. I noticed something I thought was only in the Daizenshuu. As Cell looks at the sign that says Nicky town is 30 kilometers (18 miles or so), he becomes engaged in deep thought. Right after the Battle Ball bus comes to a screeching halt, Cell goes on in his thoughts about hoping another shutdown remote isn't around to deactivate "No. 17 and the others.". I wasn't aware *Or maybe I was and FUNimation's dub cleared my mind of it* that how the artificial humans were shutdown was mentioned in the anime. This is also one of my favorite filler scenes, with Cell making a fool of Piccolo and friends. =D

Yeah, meaning "vegetable".
Metalwario64 wrote: Maybe it is to help people understand the pun?
The pun is just as ambiguous whether it's written "Reacoom" or "ReaCoom", IMO. I actually didn't realise the name is based on the word "cream", until somebody pointed in out a while ago.
Metalwario64 wrote: Or is it written a special way in Japanese?
Nope, it's written in Katakana like most of the other characters with names based on foods.

That Goku is only killed by green guys, that are always weaker then him.

Raditz-era Piccolo was slightly weaker then Goku, and when Cell blew up he was in his weaker 2nd form.
