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.
