When I first heard Vegeta's name I was instantly reminded of vegetables. I guess this is fitting for him. Vegeta-bles. Laughing

My first impression of this was: actual animation! I guess that means that Cup Noodle and Toei have more respect for DBZ than Shick and Kharra do for Evangelion.

Well... Considering how most of the Saiyans' names are deliberate spoonerism wordplays, it isn't too surpring. Hell, 'saiya' is a spoonerism of 'yasai', which is 'vegestables' in Japanese. 'Vegeta' (spelled 'Bejita') -> short version of the Japanese pronunciation of the word 'vegetable' ('bejitaburu').


I... I'm pretty sure most of us have known that for a few decades.


Well, I don't know what "surpring" or "vegestables" are, but I did know the rest.
