I've always assumed "Super Saiyans," since the guy was made to "bomb" them.

If this doesn't result in someone drawing a Steamboat Willie parody art with Super 13, I will be completely disappointed by this fandom.The Tori-bot wrote:It's also the name of #13's steamboat.

Schutzstaffel, because he's a Nazi.
Actually I just made that up. But it could be true!

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

I think it was a dub name for the attack. Anyways I think the S.S means Super Saiyan or they are like "Fuck it, it sounds cool!".

Re: What's the "S.S." in S.S. Deadly Bomber stand for?
"S.S. Deadly Bomber" was the original Japanese name of the attack. I think they just went with it because, hey, "random English is cool, and Deadly Bomber sounds cool."Hellspawn28 wrote:I think it was a dub name for the attack.

Re: What's the "S.S." in S.S. Deadly Bomber stand for?
It's never explained in any official source, so we can only guess. I'd say most likely they just thought it was something that sounded cool and didn't think of it standing for anything, but the idea that it stands for "Super Saiyans" because the attack is designed to destroy them makes sense.

For shits and giggles trivia, in addition to the S.S. Deadly Bomber, Heroes names 14's attack the G.G. Atomic Blow and 15's the F.F. Spark Cannon.

If I had a special attack, I wouldn't name it anything other than "GG Atomic Blow"TheDevilsCorpse wrote:For shits and giggles trivia, in addition to the S.S. Deadly Bomber, Heroes names 14's attack the G.G. Atomic Blow and 15's the F.F. Spark Cannon.

S.S. IRL stands for Steamship. Make of that what you will with Deadly Bomber.

Somebody give Android 13 a steam ship period; its a hilarious image and would give the man something resembling a history.
I had thought Nazis as well, but there is nothing about him to suggest that.

Shouldn't Gero's computer be ignorant of Super Saiyans at that point?
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Probably not. Anyway, do 13 and co. know about Super Saiyans in the movie? I can't remember.Saiga wrote:Shouldn't Gero's computer be ignorant of Super Saiyans at that point?

Re: What's the "S.S." in S.S. Deadly Bomber stand for?
I noticed this and assumed that because Toei liked to make DBZ movies that were homages or recycled versions on certain pivotal events in the series, the Super 13 movie was based on the time period where Cyborgs 19 and 20 appeared, also where Vegeta got to shine; remember, this is where he first became a SSJ. The fact that Super 13 randomly looks like (SSJ) Vegeta, is probably a testament that Toei wanted to cash in on that event, so the S.S. probably stands for Super Saiyan.TheDevilsCorpse wrote:For shits and giggles trivia, in addition to the S.S.

Following this idea, the staff behind Heroes probably wanted some kind of "Cyborgs based on Vegeta theme" so G.G. Atomic Blow is probably Galic Gun Atomic Blow and F.F. Spark Cannon is probably Final Flash Spark Cannon.
