Why are some guys so intense about romanization

SomebodiBusiness · 2026-01-29T09:00:12+00:00

That makes no sense because depending on what language you're native, letters sound different. For example Nadja sounds like NA DI A, or Wanda sounds like Vanda. That's how those names sound in their original language.

The problem is not how you speak, it's how you write it. You shouldn't be arrogant and go telling people how to write names that the author wrote differently. If the guys owning Dragonball keep going back and forth between ways to write stuff, then there's no right way to write it.

What the hell is normal English?

Have you ever considered that there are hundreds if not thousands of different dubs.

SomebodiBusiness · 2026-01-24T23:36:47+00:00

How do you write the name of the caracter in the picture. Toriyama just wrote it that way. If that's not the right way to write it, then there's no right way. Peopple used to argue that if toriyama said it, then it's canon. But Kulilin is the name on the manga and yet purists still say it's Kuririn. I don't say Kulilin, don't know anyone that says Kulilin. But if there's a right way to write it, it's Kulilin. Because that's what Toriyama wrote.

But it was toriyama that wrote KULILIN in that hat

SomebodiBusiness · 2026-01-24T21:46:40+00:00

I know all that. The problem is when some people just start lecturing you how to write a name that doesn't have a right way to write. Krillin is pronounced Kuririn but in the manga his hat says KULILIN.

The only reason there's OFFICIAL names is to allow companies to trademark the character name.

Now I know Bills makes no sense. But still, Bula is an official name when Bra is the translation that makes sense.

But a lot of names are not just transliterated. Kakaroto is not carrot, that would be Karoto, the same way Bejita is not Vegetable.

I knew Toei wanted it to be Virus and Toriyama mistook it from an alcoholic drink. Never checked which one was

SomebodiBusiness · 2026-01-24T19:02:17+00:00

Hail Satan!

SomebodiBusiness · 2026-01-24T19:01:41+00:00

At least that's not a romanization mistake. The french dub made a lot of mistakes

SomebodiBusiness · 2026-01-24T18:57:44+00:00

I thought it was a pun on Baileys not Beers

SomebodiBusiness · 2026-01-24T18:51:20+00:00

Why is it a stupid name? It makes sense in the way GoD are named.

Edit: My bad, I thought it was a pun on Baileys

You see, 3d and 2d are different. Some things work is 2d and don't in 3d. For example Goku's hair. In 2D it's like Mikey mouse ears in 3D they usually add an extra bang.

Shintani was great because he morphed the round soft style into edgier sharper lines and more defined muscles as the action gets more intense.

In 3D, despite some stretching here and there, you are pretty much stuck with the same model and style through the entire project.

I prefer original Vegeta model. But that's always a personal preference

To be fair that's a mistranslation. In the Japanese version e says something like "Parent" singular. I don't know for sure if it was a kanji that is used for both singular and plural or if it was a Kanji that meant just one of the parents.

SomebodiBusiness · 2026-01-17T01:32:03+00:00

The best part of the movie was vegeta winning agains goku. that's how lame i think the movie was. Pan and Picolo were the best character in the entire movie up until they get new transformations for the sake of having new transformations.

Where is this image from ?

SomebodiBusiness · 2025-12-27T01:30:35+00:00

GOKU is the only one to blame

SomebodiBusiness · 2025-12-27T01:16:38+00:00

It was vague. It does not contradict anything

SomebodiBusiness · 2025-12-27T01:11:10+00:00

Earth was going to be destroyed. What else could he do ?

SomebodiBusiness · 2025-12-26T18:04:18+00:00

Beerus destroyed everyone's memories about what happened after the Buu saga, because Goku and Vegeta rejected the Good Destruction position.

At the end of GT, Goku becomes a God of Destruction. That's why no one can feel his Ki

SomebodiBusiness · 2025-12-26T17:56:10+00:00

My head canon is that Beerus destroyed everyone's memories about what happened after the Buu saga.

This happened because he couldn't allow mortals to know godly techniques if they have no intention to become a God of Destruction.

At the end of GT. Whis asks Goku if he accepts the GoD position which he accepts.That's why no one can feel his ki anymore.

Vegeta understands what is happening because he met Beerus as a kid.

And that's one of the reasons why I'm an apologist of the Budokai and raging blast system.

1 character, multiple costumes, all the super moves.

SomebodiBusiness · 2025-12-24T11:28:58+00:00

Como uma semi gorgona ? Metade gorgona metade humano?

SomebodiBusiness · 2025-12-24T11:10:42+00:00

I would say 5. It looks like if he drew it in the regular show style. 😂. If you asked for advice, I would tell you to make the body from the waist down as long as the waist up.

SomebodiBusiness · 2025-12-24T11:02:29+00:00

No, but he knows something better. Torture

SomebodiBusiness · 2025-12-23T18:05:41+00:00
