*GaLxY-GiRl* Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 [COLOR=red][b]Bibidi...Babidi...Buu.[/b] Hmmm, sounds strangely familiar... Has anyone else noticed that these villian's names bear an uncanny similarity to Fairy God Mother's imfamous song?;) Or is it just me......? LoL Gee.....Funi never ceases to amaze....:o:)[/COLOR]
No-Name Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 DAMNIT! i only came back to these stinking boards to post that! GEEZE, I THOUGHT I WAS GODAMN SMART, I SAID TO MYSELF, BOY WILL THE OTAKU BE IMPRESSED WHEN I MAKE THIS AWESOME POST ABOUT HOW AKIRA TORIYAMA MUSTVE WATCHED CINDERELLA TO GET HIS VILLANS NAMES! ok, enuff caps. Congrats on seeing that also, i felt so clever :( . At least i now no that there are ppl as smart as me in the world. for those who dont no wtf were talking about: In the Movie Cinderella (which originally aired in like 1968 according to my mom), there is a song that goes "...put 'em together and wut've you got? Bibidi, Babidi, Boo...". Which are the 3 villans names that come up. Bibidi created Majin BUU (or boo, for sake of the song) and babidi, his son resurrects buu. kinda neat how Akira Toriyama turned to american animation for inspiration, huh?
BlackUnicorn Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 i noticed that too! they must have been desparate to find names because that wouldnt be my first pick for villians:rolleyes:
No-Name Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 o yeh, and galaxy girl, that wasnt funimation, those are the names that akira picked back in the 80's or whenever he made dbz. funi just dubs it, and sumtimes they do take liberties with names (hercule, ugh, MR. SATAN!), but this is what its always been!
Gee-enki Dama Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 its actually bibity, bopity, boo i see what you mean tho
lil_hell4t Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 hahah,i found this out when i was reading a manga scan caption...*sighs* the names these people come up with
Lady Macaiodh Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 i think these names rule. it's ironic, considering how benevolent the fairy godmother was...
Emcew Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 you know tho, funi mostly translates the names. If anyone has ever seen a *** version of an episode then you would see that also. Buu is still Buu, Goku is Gokuu, Vegeta, I think is the same.... YOu get my point the?

Guest Majin Gohan Posted October 13, 2001 Posted October 13, 2001 My fansubs sometimes add little messages at the bottom of the screen when they show the "DBZ will be right back" type of thing like if Majin Buu were an ice cream flavor what would it be? When it returns it says the answer (Our guess is tutti fruity but who knows who cares?). One of them had something on that Cinderella thing. So I've known for a while now
Deedlit Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 yeah, I noticed that too. You'd think that the show was so creative that they could've come up w/their own names! You'd think they would at least have [B]SOME[/B] originality! ;)
amibasuki Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 haha, I didn't notice the whole Bibidi-Babidi-Buu thing until after I watched the dubs when Kai-o-shin was talkin' about them and said "Bibidi had a son, Babidi." I was like, ...eh.... ^_^' hehehe.... and they pronounce 'Majin' decently, too! I thought they would've made it sound like 'May-jin', but they didn't! that gave me some peace of mind:D:D:D
shibatku Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 I figured that out as soon as the names came out and I thought it was pretty funny. Bibitty, Bobbity, Majiin Buu:laugh:
