peewee1623 Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 [B]Okay. If you saw the thread below mine-DBZ...or a Cinderella parody-you would've guessed the whole Bibbidy, Bopity, Boo thing(which ends up being written as Bibbity, Bobbity, Buu). But take a look at other coincidences. This goes past DBZ and into pokemon. Where do you think the names Abra, Kadabra, alakazam originated? Or how Arbok and Ekans are kobra and snake backwards? What about Valencia Island. It's an ACTUAL island in the Mediterranean Sea. Now, back to DBZ. Does FREEZa, King COLD, and Freeza's brother COOLER mean anything to you?:wigout: Tons of names originate from somewhere else[/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
