Post by majinboogc » Tue Mar 30, 2004 1:05 am

In the spanish Dragon Ball Z this name is used in for the best part of the android saga. Was this name used in the japanese manga or anime?

As far as I've seen, no. It's quite bizarre-looking, actually... :?

What does "Maki" even mean?

There's a guarantee that it's not a name pun or anything, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I think it actually means "block of wood" or something, so that name would be better to describe Goku's head. :mrgreen:

What do you mean?! Have you ever seen how many things he can hit with his head and not crack his skull open? His head's got to be made of wood!

First, his head is made out of steel. Second, when you think wood, you might think of hard heads, but no way does that work out with firewood...

No, no, no, no, no! If his head was made of steel, you would hear a metallic "clang" whenever he used it to headbutt. You just hear a dull "clunk" instead. That means it's wood my friend. :D

I'm sorry for ever doubting your intimate knowledge of sound effects.

Heh, when you grow up with a brother that has ADHD, you learn all about sound effects. Especially ones involving "bathroom humor". :?

Goku's skull made of wood, eh? I'd ahve to agree that it's more steel than wood. Could is be that Goku and Homer Simpson are distantly related? O.o
