Which means that Earth’s dragon balls disappear! No more wishes to bring back friends :'( But unfortunately, Piccolo dies this time!Īnd that of course means that Kami (his other half) also dies too! Of course Goku and friends beat the bad guys and save the earth. So when Goku trains under a new master, he gets a new symbol on his threads to reflect that fact. This makes sense for the Japanese written language which is normally written vertically as well.Īlthough in the show, the kanji have been altered so that they fill up the circle completely and look aesthetically pleasing… unlike the one I made above! Here’s where it gets interesting, King Kai’s symbol is actually his name 界王, but it’s stacked vertically instead of horizontal. So you can see from his name that this guy is king of the world. King Kai’s Japanese name is 界王様 (kaiō-sama) which tells you a lot about him as a person, so long as you can read Japanese. Spoilers, I know… But come on! That shows been out for forever now!!!īut that’s not the end of his story… Actually, no matter how many times this guys dies HE ALWAYS COMES BACK!Īfter he dies the first time, he decides to travel to King Kai’s little planet and train with him in order to get strong enough to fight the evil saiyans who are coming to earth.
#Goku dress up nick series#
Goku wears the first symbol 亀 for the original series Dragon Ball and for the beginning of the second show Dragon Ball Z.īut if you remember, Goku dies in the beginning of Dragon Ball Z! This key insight will basically give away the meanings of the next two symbols he dons, which you will recognize if you watched Dragon Ball Z. It makes sense, right? Your uniforms show the organization or school that you belong to. So you can see how the clothing that Goku wears shows the symbol of the person who he trained under. In Japanese, it’s spelled as 亀仙人 (kame sen nin) which of course has that same kanji that is on Goku’s clothes: 亀. In the series, the old man Master Roshi is also known by another name: The Turtle Hermit. This makes a lot of sense when you think about the guy who he trained under as a kid: Master Roshi. The first symbol that Goku wears on his 着 (gi) is 亀 (kame) which means tortoise turtle in Japanese.
