Cinderella reference in DBZ. Say whaaat???

[-Chromenaphobia-]

Remember back in the day when you saw DBZ and then we learned about those two great wizards? Bibidi and Bobidi? Well. I just realised that putting the buu's name at the end makes "Bibidi, Bobidi, Boo!"

Some of you might have noticed it ages ago, but I just noticed randomly.

DUDE! I rewatched DBZ lately and was like, where have I fuc*** heard this from before haha. Awesome, I thought it was like a halloween reference - but its this.. Bravo for busting the original creator, you think he is going to do something similar with the new show coming out in July?

Well. I'm not sure, but there are actually a lot of food references in DBZ. Saiyan is apparently formed by rearranging the syllables of the Japanese word yasai which means "vegetable". It's also where Vegeta(ble)'s name came from. Also Majin can be translated to Demon or genie.

Heck, even Bardock's name is from food. Bardock is a pun of a Japanese root a "Burdock"

Kakarot is just another way of saying carrot. Like reference in the DBZ parody where they call him Kakacarrot cake.

Raditz derives from "radish".

Broly is a pun on "broccoli"

Nappa is a japanese a word for "cabbage".

there's a bunch on this site: http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Origins_of_character_names

not gonna bother mentioning all of them. But I can never take Broly seriously again. "OH NO! It's the Legendary Super Saiyan Broccoli!"

pretty much any name is related to food or drinks in some way.
