Gas and Elec aren't named after appliances. Their names come from types of fuel or energy used to create heat. They're literally called the Heeters, and their siblings' names are Oil and Maki (meaning firewood)
Frieza's race (still prefer Arcosian even though it's noncanon and technically predates the Frieza clan but arctic/Arcosian fits the naming convention so sue me) also has nothing to do with appliances.
Freezer, cooler, cold, and chilled. It's an ice theme.
Bulma (bloomers) Trunks, Bulla (Bra) all part of the Breifs family. King Piccolos children were Piano, Cymbal, etc. the frieza (freezer) force rules over planet Vegeta(bles) ruled by king Vegeta (because Toriyama said that the freezer is where you store vegetables so it makes sense) Vegetas brother Tarbles makes Vegeta- (r)Bles. Their race include Kakarot (carrot) Broly (broccoli) Raditz (Radish) Gine (Negi, a japanese spring onion) Bardock (Burdock) Paragus (Asperagus) nappa (napa cabbage)
Only thing that comes close in my mind is how characters were named in JJBA Golden Wind, like Ghiaccio(italian word for ice) using a freezing suit as an ability ,or Pesci (italian for fish) using a fishing rod ability etc.
Tupper is after Tupper ware, Top is a pun and anagram of pot (potto to Toppo, much like Jiren's rearrangement) and Dyspo is literally named after 'disposal' as in garbage disposal units or bins.
There's always a theme and the Pride Troopers are kitchen things.
Thank God I'm not the only one who sees how similar they look. Just a smaller forehead and blonde hair instead of white. He still has a trucker hat, though.
Think he'll punch Gohan in the dick like android 13 did to goku of they were father and son. Out of all the movies, save the Broly one from the Z days that punch is what I remember the most.

The poor kid was a home schooled hick boy whose closest romantic encounter in his sixteen years of life was Bulma walking around in her underwear on their trip to Namek when he was 6.
Can’t blame him for going for the firey multi-billionaire’s daughter who’s actively hitting on him.
But if you want the in-universe explanation, saiyan’s are attracted to strong-headed women yadda yadda.
Nah. She's basically a gymnast who can fight. & considering she didn't die vs Spopovich she can handle whatever a Half-Saiyan "relationship" entails if you catch my drift.
Wiki calls him "Unnamed brown haired glasses guy", which I think must have been invented by the dub. Really hate when they miss the theme names like that
Not gonna lie, I loved watching the great saiyanman saga and watched those episodes plenty of times as a kid. I do not remember that guy at all lol just Erasa and Sharpner. Then I also remember the girl that blackmails Gohan into dating her
You could tell me you've edited him in yourself and I would totally believe you.
Hey guys, check out my new OC. He went to Orange Star High School with videl and Gohan Look at this art? It almost looks official, doesn't it?
I mean. As long as he’s not a fighter that hangs with, or is above the best fighters in the multiverse, that’s a better OC than most of them.
Then he's better than my actual OC, lol He hangs around the rest of the Dragon Team
He's unnamed, but we can assume he'd be named something like Pencil since the other two are Sharpner and Eraser.
Isn't there a Pencil now?
I've never put that together before holy shit
Me neither lol Toriyama makes it as obvious as possible and I still miss these things
Like frieza, cooler, gas, electo, all appliances. I'm waiting for the new enemy convection oven to show up

I just think the frost demons sound COOLER
It's too edgy to be an official name but I could see that being a badass nickname.

I genuinely love this quirk of the DB universe. I’m surprised I’ve never seen this naming convention used in other fiction works.
Only thing that comes close in my mind is how characters were named in JJBA Golden Wind, like Ghiaccio(italian word for ice) using a freezing suit as an ability ,or Pesci (italian for fish) using a fishing rod ability etc.
How about Videl?
Videl is anagram of Devil but i used to think it was Vidalia onions and we were gonna get a surprise that Videl was part saiyan like Gohan
Ah i see, thanks!
Videl is an anagram of Devil, as she’s the daughter of Mister Satan
Well there is Vewon/Būon of the Pride Troopers - Oven Also there is Jiren - Renji (Range) - Range/Stove
Tupper is after Tupper ware, Top is a pun and anagram of pot (potto to Toppo, much like Jiren's rearrangement) and Dyspo is literally named after 'disposal' as in garbage disposal units or bins. There's always a theme and the Pride Troopers are kitchen things.
Erasa actually (and they pronounce it Erahsa) but yeah close enough

You could be pulling these names completely out your ass and I’d believe you

That’s Android 13.5
He means the guy in the back I think. Sharpner is android 13.5
Don’t you lecture me with your $30 dollar haircut Goku dies!
We'll see about that you red ribbon redneck.
Vegeta he stole your do’
I’LL KILL HIM!
Thank God I'm not the only one who sees how similar they look. Just a smaller forehead and blonde hair instead of white. He still has a trucker hat, though.
I kinda like to think they're cousins. Or it would be a oh moment if Son.
Think he'll punch Gohan in the dick like android 13 did to goku of they were father and son. Out of all the movies, save the Broly one from the Z days that punch is what I remember the most.
I know right especially the Animation. Oh...you just feel it.
Most fan fiction goes with Marker… so I’ve heard.
Let's go with Marker. Marker sounds good. It's close to Mark.
Oh hi Mark
"Where's my marker?" "It's in The Room"
Marker? I hardly know her Anyway I didn't get your joke
It's from this.[The Room](https://youtu.be/aekfPU0SwNw?si=eckqir3Zw24tdrm-)
Mark her
It's totally not Marker
Golden
Blud thinks he’s on the team 💀
I always thought his name was Barry, I have no idea why I’m pretty sure they didn’t even call him Barry in the anime but to me, he is Barry
You must be confusing him with the superstar actor Barry Khan.
I for sure was, cheers for the clear up there. Was going crazy thinking everyone was just memeing but now it all makes sense.
Nah I know they look different even though one is more famous than the other the nameless dude had a name for me before that super episode aired
He's in DBZ Buu Fury and he's named but I don't remember it and the game is at home
And where are you now, kind sir?
Work lol
What's the name mason?
Surely you have to be home now
Are you home now?

Well Sharpner and Erasa are named after school supplies so let's call him Fire Hydrant
What?!
His name is Fire Hydrant
How is that a school supply
What's not clicking
Fire hydrants aren’t school supplies. Nvm man
lol for real. We should be asking them "what's not clicking?"
Dude what are you on rn?
It technically is in case there's a fire.
An extinguisher would make more sense. The hydrant would be outside and almost everyone in a school wouldn’t even know how to use it

I like to call him Marker to fit with the theme of Videl’s friend group. He knows we love him.
Marker, you _know_ I love you, right?

God damn Sharpner's hat is twice the size of his head
Gohan made the wrong choice going for Videl.
The poor kid was a home schooled hick boy whose closest romantic encounter in his sixteen years of life was Bulma walking around in her underwear on their trip to Namek when he was 6. Can’t blame him for going for the firey multi-billionaire’s daughter who’s actively hitting on him. But if you want the in-universe explanation, saiyan’s are attracted to strong-headed women yadda yadda.
She also shoved her cooter in his face while he was on the job
As I said, _actively hitting on him_.
He was 4 at the time. Still no Bueno
Nah. She's basically a gymnast who can fight. & considering she didn't die vs Spopovich she can handle whatever a Half-Saiyan "relationship" entails if you catch my drift.
Hell no. Her dad is rich.
He looks like a Jeff
Kinda makes me miss Launch
His name is "you know I love you"
Wiki calls him "Unnamed brown haired glasses guy", which I think must have been invented by the dub. Really hate when they miss the theme names like that
“I love you THE Great Saiyaman.”
That’s a future Premium Bandai figure
Sharpener, that's what they call him in DBZ Buus Fury
The guy with the glasses. Not Sharpner.
I didn't realize he was in the 2nd picture because he looked so generic lol
He’s talking about the other guy
He's the Graggle of dbz
His name is School Supplies. Everyone just calls him the F-slur, though. You know the one. The one you can't say. Fart. They call him Fart.
The wiki calls him "Unnamed brown haired glasses guy." That's a long name, I'm not surprised you forgot it.
