Sherman Priest is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball universe by Akira Toriyama. Son Goku and Bulma meet Sherman Priest on their first Dragon Ball hunt in Age 749.
Biography
In Age 749, Sherman Priest's village is being repeatedly attacked by a shape-shifting "demon" who kidnaps young women; his daughter is slated to be next. After Goku breaks into his house, he attacks the trespasser with an axe, only to have the weapon shatter over Goku's hard head. Once Goku and Bulma learn of his plight (and are offered a Dragon Ball in reward), they agree to rescue the village from the menace. Although Sherman Priest dresses in modern-style overalls, his daughter dresses in a more traditional style reminiscent of Upa and Bora and the villagers at Karin Tower. While Daizenshuu 3 states that Sherman Priest is the village's mayor, this is not directly indicated in the manga or anime.[1]
In Age 767, Sherman Priest was briefly seen outside the Chazke Village Shelter Dome. He may have fled there with Grandma Paozu to escape from Cell. The anime does not depict what Sherman's reaction to the dome's destruction was, or where he went after it was destroyed.[2]
Name
Sherman Priest's name is not directly given in dialog in the manga; rather, the name "Sherman Priest" is seen written in Latin characters on the door outside his house in both Dragon Ball Chapter 5 and 6.[3][4] It is unclear if "Priest" refers to his occupation or surname, although Viz chose to "translate" his name as "Sherman the Shaman" in their English-language adaptation of the manga. The episode credits for Dragon Ball Episode 4 lists him only as "Villager" (村人たち).[5]
A clue that "Sherman Priest" may be intended to be his given name can be found in the name pun series of the three young girls that Goku rescues from Oolong: Hedge, Hogg, and Lee. Hedge and Hogg together form "Hedgehog", the name of a plastic model tank kit that Toriyama owned while writing this chapter, as well as an anti-tank defense obstacle. Lee refers to a M3 Lee tank.[6] Taken together, Sherman Priest appears to be a reference to the M4 Sherman and M7 Priest tanks. As "Sherman" in Japanese could be written as シャーマン (shāman), the name could be a double-pun on the English word "shaman" as a type of priest. It is also possible that "Sherman" and "Priest" were intended as separate names for two occupants of the house, rather than referring to one individual.
