peewee1623 Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 [B]Okay. If you saw the thread below mine-DBZ...or a Cinderella parody-you would've guessed the whole Bibbidy, Bopity, Boo thing(which ends up being written as Bibbity, Bobbity, Buu). But take a look at other coincidences. This goes past DBZ and into pokemon. Where do you think the names Abra, Kadabra, alakazam originated? Or how Arbok and Ekans are kobra and snake backwards? What about Valencia Island. It's an ACTUAL island in the Mediterranean Sea. Now, back to DBZ. Does FREEZa, King COLD, and Freeza's brother COOLER mean anything to you?:wigout: Tons of names originate from somewhere else[/B]
Transtic Nerve Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 Yes, the use of puns in anime is rather concurrent.... esspecially in DragonBall
Sephiroth Posted October 17, 2001 Posted October 17, 2001 just look at bulma's family for instance, all named after undergarments....
BlackUnicorn Posted October 18, 2001 Posted October 18, 2001 geez... almost everyone is named like that.

Lady Macaiodh Posted October 18, 2001 Posted October 18, 2001 this may be wrong but i read it somewhere... the saiya-jins all have vegetable names: vegeta--variation of vegetable (he's the head vegetable, heh, heh) kakkarot--variation of carrot radditz--variation of radish nappa--japanese for lettuce, i think bardock--i forgot but it was something vegetable

~San~ Posted October 25, 2001 Posted October 25, 2001 Yes DBZ and Pokemon do that a lot. Don't forget about GOku, GOten, and GOhan. Also; ArticUNO, ZapDOS, and MoltRES.
