Dragonball Name Puns
At this section, you'll find puns for
the characters in the Dragonball series. Most of the definitions are factual,
whlie some are just made-up interpretations. I hope you enjoy some
of the outrageous and hilarious translations.
By the way, Saiyajin is a jumbled version of the
Japanese word Yashi, or vegetable; Tuffles, or Tsufurujin is an arrangement of
the Japanese word Furutsu, or fruit; Namek is from the word Namekuji, meaning
slug.
