The man's series is so beloved that he has an army of dedicated fans who will carry the torch for him. Hats off to you, Mr. Toriyama. I hope you enjoy a retirement of chillin' out and eating delicious Earth treats. :coolfish:

I love that every quote I've ever read from him has been "my editor thought it was dumb" or "it's just a lot easier this way." Dude's chill.

he used to be Freeza here to, Frieza is a (relatively) recent development and apparently official so whatever

hence the trunks joke about his name

Coo-Re (as in rewind)-Rine (like Wolverine). My phonetical English is super weird, but it's not hard to pronounce. Krillin reads weirder to me, as a native Portuguese speaker, but I suppose the American transliteration is closer to how Japanese actually say it - the whole R-L thing and all.

I can accept that one. However, gently caress you and your Frieza and your TIEN. It's Tenshinhan, motherfuckers.

And he's always aimed it through a triangle made of his hands or at least did against Cell. I think that is where the name is from?

Kuririn will only be seen as a real name when some Kardashian or whatever has a kid and calls it that.

Someone posted a thing where if you want to drill a square shaped hole you use a triangular bit. I doubt they knew that though...

His thumbs form a point at the bottom. When he first used it he shaped it directly over the arena. It's a wonky rectangle.

I don't really get why the Viz translation makes a point of saying the Chinese name of the Kikoho would be Chi Kung Cannon or something similar.

Like, sure, okay, but why for this attack only?

The canonically best attack is Hawaiian, so do that instead.

Also, I'm surprised there was never a villain named Pineapple with a minion named Poi. That's Dragonball AF.

I should clarify, it says "Kikoho!*" and then off panel it says *"chi kung in chinese"

lol it's like Funimation thought kids' brains would explode if a character name has more than two syllables. Like they wouldn't be able to get the names right for their parents to buy action figures or something.

gently caress them all and their Tiens and Friezas and Kais and Super Sayings and Special Beam Cannons.

Viz was pretty godawful too, somehow utilising both weaboo notes (This is the 'Kame Hame Ha', Goku's famous 'Hisatsu Waza') AND making up completely nonsensical FUNi-style dumbo names of their own. (Taste my 'Light of Death' -Piccolo).

The German dub tended to just call several characters by their full name all the time, so Goku was always called Son Goku and Tien was always called Tien Shinhan. Or is it actually just Tienshinhan as a single name and the English dub just shortened it? gently caress if I know. the Turtle Hermit was also called Muten Roshi but I think that's just what Turtle Hermit is in Japanese?

Attack names were also usually kept in Japanese so I still think of the Spirit Bomb as the Genki Dama.

Muten Roshi = Invincible Old Master (yes, Master Roshi is literally "Master Master")

Kamesennin = Turtle Hermit

I couldn't remember what Kami was called in the German dub and the German wiki is referring to him inconsistently but I think they just called him God

The German wiki also insists his full name is "God Piccolo".

Tien introduced himself as Tien Shin Han, they just apparently use his "first name" in the show a lot.
