What is "Ultra-Z"?

Post by Amiable-Akuma » Sun Dec 03, 2006 1:39 pm

In the lyrics of CHA-LA, there's the line: "With a smile that is Ultra-Z, even today is ai-yai-yai-yai-yai..."

I sort of take "Ultra-Z" to be slang for "at it's peak/the best" - therefore the actual meaning of that lyric might be re-imagined as "With a smile/joy that is at its peak - even today is too much to handle/unbelievable."

Ya know, that's with me interpreting the vocalization "ai-yai-yai-yai-yai" as "is crazy/unbelieveable/too much to handle".

Any comments? Does somebody know something more specific about "Ultra-Z"?

Uh, maybe it has to do with Zenkai, like the early ending theme for DragonBall Z. I'm not too sure though...

You can call me Rick because I'm not actually Piccolo.
I missed out on all of the DB Movie fun, huh?[quote]Point blank: it's gonna suck if you want it to. Personally, I'm seeing it as a comedy.[/quote][/size]

Okay, well, I guess that would make a certain amount of sense since (and I'm quoting the site here) “Zenkai,” for the purposes of [that] song, means something along the lines of “full-force” or “full throttle.”

And as you can see - "full-force"/"full throttle" basically equates directly to what I thought the meaning was (ie "at its peak/the best").

So maybe Ultra-Z really means "Ultimate Zenkai" or "with ultimate, total force".

Therefore the lyric is (re-imagined): "With my smile/joy at its ultimate peak/force, every day is cray-yay-yay-yay-zeeeeee!" Sparking!

-So, "with my happiness at it's ultimate peak, every day is crazy!"
