I think it’s supposed to be some cheesy power level-type reference, only the writer obviously hasn’t ever seen or read Dragon Ball and just completely made it up.

Kameyameya might be the correct way, rather than Kame Hame Ha. But uh...both are used in the anime, I think.

Dr. Casey wrote:My favorite parts of Dragon Ball were always the ones where Bulma fended off Yamcha's advances. That guy was always such a pervert and she was always so disinterested, so I'm glad that aspect of the series has been preserved.

So according to Hollywood, Bulma's not allowed to make advances on freaked-out, phobic Yamcha so they flipped their personalities around the same way they flipped Goku and Chi-Chi's feelings?


:(


I hope this movie doesn't make the whole "pimp" facade thing that Yamcha gets lambasted for true.

* :lol: at puckered Yun Fat*.


Ahh, that cheered me up; best shot of the list you could've picked for this post.


If anything, I've learned more about the climate of Durango here than I have in Spanish class.


*Still worried about Yamcha being portrayed in a pimp-esque way, but is reminded that it was Viz writing that, and after all Viz isn't exactly....accurate with things.*

I either hope they stay true to the character and not have him as some super pimp or go the whole hog into fan-fiction territory and have him crack a few of Bulma's ribs before Vegeta runs in to save her.

*Nods*

I hadn't even thought of Yamcha in this movie because he'd barely been mentioned AT ALL in any of the news.


But yeah, I don't want to see non-canon fanfic-Yamcha either. TT_TT

He's the "King Hyena", afterall, not an abusive boyfriend/pimp.
*I am forever going to enjoy calling him that after seeing that entry on your blog. XD

He's not a pimp... in the holy texts he's hysterical, but not a pimp.

Quilted Northern's Quality Kame Gi. When you're looking for softness you can see, better make it quilted! :lol:

If there is one thing I know I will love is Chatku's Kame Gi.

It just looks so modern and stylish
