What's in a Name?

Over the weekend, I was talking to my nephew about how Bleach's manga has started to wrap up. He had to concentrate when he explained the shingami blah blah blah form of the yadda yadda that only Ichigo and Aizen can evolve to and fight.

This all lead to a discussion leading back to Dragonball Z. As all of us old dogs remember, every battle for Dragonball seems to go like this:

1. Taunt each other
2. Power up
3. Episode Ends
4. Review of the taunting and power up
5. Throw the first blow
6. Episode Ends
7. Review of the taunting, power up, first blow
8. Training Flashback
9. Episode Ends
10. Review of the taunting, power up, first blow, training flashback
11. Start fighting
12. Episode Ends

So on and so forth where one fight takes up half the season. Awesome. We got to talking about how they seem to always be evolving on and on and on.

It's the ultra form then the Ultra Mega Form and then the Super Ultra Mega Form! then finally the Shin Super Ultra Mega Form el Diablo!!!

If math really is the language of the universe, here's how it works:

1. Form
2. Adjective + Form
3. Adjective + New Adjective + Form
4. Newest Adjective + Adjective +New Adjective + Form
5. Foreign Adjective + Newest Adjective + Adjective +New Adjective + Form + Foreign Phrase in Original Language

It was fun to go over all the different names you could create.

Hey how about you create a few and post them up in the comments.

Till next time!

  1. So just recently I've gotten hooked on Dragon Ball Z. My boyfriend bought the dvds and now I can't stop watching them. I am totally amazed at how long they can draw out one battle, but manage to make it so interesting. It's such a good show. Oh and I'm so going to add "de la muerte" to the ends of my phrases to make them sound epic.
