about Hiromi Bluma’s Japanese VA …. when i fond out that she past away
 
 
i something came to mind, the ending song of the  
original Dragon Ball
 
i use to watch Dragon Ball 6:00 before school and  
later in life coming home from school to  
watch it on Toonami.
 
i use to (and i still do) image in the Android saga  
off screen she sing that song to baby Trunks  
to put him to sleep.
 
the same can be said for baby Bra in super.
 
I’ll Give You Romance! (English version of “Romantikku Ageru Yo”)
 
but to me, i called it Bulma’s lalabye…
 
Be as free as you can be, a childlike love of fantasy,  
The world is a mystery for you and me.  
A miracle, an adventure too, a single wish waits for you,  
The beating of your heart will see you through._
 
_When you think you can’t go on, give it another try,  
The power of your youth is strong, and as big as the sky.  
Search all over the valley, the mountains and you’ll see…believing in yourself sets you free!
 
Come on, I’ll give you romance!  
Come on, I’ll give you paradise!  
Liberate the “you” that you keep inside.  
Come on, I’ll give you romance!  
Come on, I’ll give you paradise!  
Make your dreams come true; you’ll see fantasy…magic can happen to you!
 
no matter if it’s the Japaneses or English version i will away think of Bluma  
and i will Hiromi Tsuru when hearing that song.

Didn’t need these feels

I didn’t grow up with Dragon Ball.
 
So yeah…

What would be good bases for names for female Majin and Saiyan?

@Prof.NightJack  
Well, vegetables and fruits for Saiyans. And for Majins, maybe something that sounds like a charm or spell.  
I think Endivia sound good for both. ^^

@Prof.NightJack  
Mine are Named Majin Zam, and Berenj,

@Mad Black  
@Thanotos Omega  
I’m just not sure how to make a Saiyan name sound fitting for a female one and I’m unsure of how Majin names work.
 
Once I’m done with Trombone (CLICK THE LINK) I’m moving on to another race, I made a Frieza Race(still don’t get why they don’t have a better canon name), and both a male and female human.

@Prof.NightJack  
Most people just take part of a magic word or phrase, like Majin Zam is from Alakazam, and just look at fruits and vegies to find a saiyan name, like Berenj comes from the spanish word for eggplant,

@Thanotos Omega  
Well if you haven’t seen my comments in the pokemon thread, I’m not the best at coming up with names and tend to fallback on references and puns.  
And giving how the names in names for Saiyan tend to be be fruits and vegies but spelled oddly/off I’m not sure what would work.  
And other then Buu and the connection to Bibidi and Babidi, I didn’t know if there was a naming scheme for the Majin.

@Prof.NightJack  
With the majin you also could go with sweet foods and snacks. Many seem to do that. Otherwise, there are basically no canon majins beside Buu.

@Mad Black  
Okay then, makes the idea I once had for naming a yellow/light-orange male Majin “Flan” fitting.

@Prof.NightJack
 
I’d say it also depends on the back story for your saiyan, say they’re not a full-blooded saiyan, and their parents are more human, they could still have a not-so saiyan name like Pan and Bra

@Prof.NightJack  
Full-blooded Saiyans are all vegetable names, no fruit. For them, I just look up a list of vegetables and see if I could slash their names or make anagrams. Like for example, Rapini, I switch the letters and make it Pinari, which sounds like a feminine name. Whatcha think?

@Salamenace  
Do you know the name for the Japanese sweet potato, or just one based on sweet patato?  
I think I want to base the name off that, being I happen to love sweet potatos.

@Prof.NightJack  
From what I’ve gotten through Google, Satsumaimo for sweet potato and Yaki-imo for roasted sweet potatoes.

@Salamenace  
So you think Moyaki would work?

Sweet potato fries though.

Gotta love how I’m simply not allowed to dislike Kale and Caulifla without being a misogynist.
 
Sure is 2017 alright.

@Dustcan
 
Of course. They have breasts and vaginas, so you either love them or you’re a misogynistic basement dwelling mama’s boy Nazi homophobe (homophobe because Kale is a lesbian obsessed with Caulifla meaning they get both ‘female’ and ‘lesbian’ protection from criticism or dislike).

@Dustcan
 
@TheDog
 
What a time to be alive…

I don’t even dislike either of them really. I enjoy seeing them, for the most part. I’ve just been sour on having 4 or so straight episodes dedicated to them where absolutely nothing happens.
 
But of course that can’t be the real reason.

@Dustcan  
The only thing that buggs me is their sudden rise in power levels. But that is more a problem in Super in general. (And how they achived SSJ und SSJ2.) Otherwise are the female SSJ pretty cool, and funny.

@Mad Black
 
If it was just a linear power increase I could headcanon “lol U6 saiyan biology”.
 
But then you look at Kale and the series can’t decide if she can solo the entire tournament short of Jiren or if she’s just lucky every single combatant randomly decided to humor her outbursts.

@Mad Black  
It was pretty poorly explained, but they were implied to be Sayians with extraordinary potential above every other Sayian in U6, who’ve never had a need to further themselves until now. They were both stunted in their growth and training, but could easily use that untapped potential to basically leap frog in power when someone finally taught them a technique they’ve never had thought of before.
 
I would blame the power level escalation on the blue form, first and foremost. Any fight has to play fast and loose with the power levels to ever have a close fight, which is why the fight with Kale and Caulifla was also timed when Goku was already injured. Hit’s power level wasn’t ever explained well, but the combination of time skip and lethal techniques kind of made it feel like it wasn’t about power as it was to exploit the mortal limitation of his opponents.
 
In short, the writers have written themselves into a corner time and time again when it comes to power scaling and they can’t stop themselves, ever. The original series had similar issues as well and it’s obvious why any major villain after Frieza always had power copy/steal/absorption as one of their abilities.

One thing that bothered me was how not-jacked Caulifla is. I mean, she’s supposed to be the “strongest” Saiyan of U6 (not counting Kale’s Berserk Legendary Super Saiyan form).
 
Yet, Kale has actual rippling muscles and abs. The one time in Dragon Ball Super where muscles make sense!
