Kung Fu Express

Post by Zeroplus » Tue Dec 01, 2009 2:52 pm

So there's this new Chinese restaurant called Kung Fu express and I've only heard of it and never seen it. So on the way home one day on the way home I decide to walk by it to see if it looks good and what do you know, it looks amazing and for one reason only. I still haven't had had any of their food but you pretty damn sure I'm going to try it now.

So... where do you live? :shock:

When you go eat there, look for some other Dragonball stuff inside and take pics, because that is just awesome.

I think it is just a generic, bald monk.

... :? With no nose? And happens to look EXACTLY like Kuririn? Exactly?

When did Kuririn become a generic design?

And the YellowRed name is just another coincidence, right?

It's funny because it's a Chinese restaurant using a Japanese character as their mascot. :P

A Japanese character from a Japanese series that was originally derived from a Chinese legend, references incalculable Chinese martial arts films, and is generally just steeped all to hell in Chinese kung fu/Wuxia lore, themes, and aesthetics. What goes around, comes around. :P

Oooh, very nice deduction there!

That is awesome, but are they legally allowed to do that? I guess they gave him a generic monk outfit to cover their ass(or they weren't paying attention to his clothes). Or this is perfectly fine.

Either way, that's pretty sweet.

Yeah, but Kung Fu Express!Kuririn up there is wearing an orange outfit, and is basically wearing Yajirobe's clothes minus the stripes. Plus, Kuririn's original set of clothes had some shoulder pad/rolled up sleeves going on.

That's because it's a bootleg Kuririn changed just enough to hopefully not have legal troubles.

Er... I mean Charlie Brown. Sorry.

Canada's copyright laws are a lot more lenient than the States', as Canada is generally a more relaxed country period.

Yeah, I think they just edited this image of Kuririn from chapter 30.

Wait.... a cheap Chinese Dragon Ball knock off? This is unprecedented!

EDITED: Seeing this again, I realise it may have read kind of douchey. Sorry, it wasn't intended that way.
