This is probably the most accurate meme about VegeBul that I've seen.

It's just that Vegeta didn't convince her to break up with Yamcha. She broke up with Yamcha often for minor reasons (like when she was jealous other girls liked him), then she slept with an evil guy & regretted it.

Bulma literally got pregnant by someone worse. And most times, Vegeta at his best is Yamcha at his worst.

Alright, characters and emojis.

As you know, the Japanese fandom really likes to use symbols to talk about characters, it's a way to code the language without showing up in search functions. These are usually used for shipping, but not always.

Some characters are more obvious than others, but for those who may seem a little far reached, I will write a small explanation.

Some are established fanon-accepted, but they're not really strongly claimed, so some artists will use the same emoji for different characters. (And as always if you like what I’m trying to do, consider buying me a drink or a doujin with ko-fi) (twitter version btw)

So here's my list for Dragon Ball (🐉) :p

Saiyans and half-saiyans:

Goku: 🥕 (Kakarot -> carrot) or 5️⃣9️⃣

Vegeta: 🥗

Broly: 🥦

Raditz: 🦔 (the hedgehog hair lol)

Turles: 🥬(Tullece -> lettuce) or 🍎 (because of the fruit obviously)

King Vegeta: 👑 or 🔱 (they aren’t super common)

Bardock and his squad: no established emoji that I've noticed, but 🍅 should be for Toma (Tora in English). 🌿 should be for Fasha (Selipa in Japanese, which are the syllables for parsley (pa-se-ri). I’ve seen someone use 🦀 or 🩸 (the headband) for Bardock.

Gine: 🧅 I’ve seen this one once!

Cumber: 🥒

Caulifla: I haven’t seen an established one that, but 🔥 works for her hair.

Kale: 🥬

Cabba: 🥬 yes Cabba (cabbage) and Kale (.. kale lol) share the same emoji. Context!

Gohan: 🍚 ("fried rice" as lunch; the term rice is used as a way to talk about the entire meal, even if it does not contain rice); for Future Gohan, you'll find it with the kanji 未 mi, from mirai (future). 5️⃣8️⃣ sometimes too. Add in 🐺 for the beast version!

Goten: 🍤(TENpura) sometimes 5️⃣🔟. Tenpura (tempura) is a type of fried food, and it's used for Goten because (go)ten(pura) (he's nicknamed "ten" by Trunks).

Trunks: 🐯(tora(nkusu); Tora means tiger); for Future Trunks, you'll find it with the kanji 未 mi, from mirai (future).

Bra: 👙 usually. Sometimes 👸

Pan: 🍞 (bread, obviously)

Earthlings:

Chichi: 🥛🍼(her name means milk; both are used)

Ox King: 🐂 (only seen it once, but that’s because I don’t see many drawings of him lol)

Bulma: 🩲(bloomers) but she sometimes gets 💙

Yamcha: 🐺 (wolf techniques)

Krillin: 🌰 (kuririn -> chestnut). Marron sometimes gets the same emoji

Videl: 😈 (Videl -> Devil)

Mr Satan: 🥇or 🏆. He’s the world champion!

Tenshinhan: 👁️

Chaozu: 👲(not super common but I did see it twice)

Launch: 🔫 but I’ve also seen 🎭

Roshi: 🐢

Farmer with a power level of 5: 🌽

Uub: I did see 🌴 used ONE TIME..

Maron: 🩱 I’ve seen it once.

Androids/Artificial humans:

Android 16: 1️⃣6️⃣ or 🤖

Android 17: 1️⃣7️⃣ or 🤖

Android 18: 1️⃣8️⃣ or 🤖

Cell: 🦗 grasshopper or cicada due to his first form. 🆑 and 🧬 have also been used.

Android 21: 🧁

Gammas: 1️⃣ / 2️⃣ or 🍓 (ichigo which is also number 1) and occasionally Γ or �� sometimes (not emojis but still lol)

Aliens:

Piccolo: 🅿️ or 🍏 (he gives apples to Gohan early on). ピ is also super common (it’s the first katakana of his name), but it’s not an emoji. 🍊 for orange piccolo obviously.

Nail: 🐌

Dende: 🫑 or 🌱 (seen it once..)

Frieza: ❄️ I’ve seen this one a couple of times. 🧊 and 🥶 are sometimes used too, for him, King Cold or Cooler.

Tapion: 🗡️

Gods and Kais:

Zamasu:🍵 (the tea he drinks)

Goku Black: 🌹 (a rose by any other name..)

Chronoa: 🕛 or any alternative like⌛️

Shin: 😏 I’ve seen this one used twice, but nothing definitive.

Fusions:

Gotenks: 👻 has happened a couple of times; (Ry has told me 🍩 is also used)

Gogeta: 🥐 (because of the jacket)

Vegito: 🍬 (because he's the strongest candy in the world in the Buu Saga).

Merged Zamasu: 🌀or ❇️

Kefla: 💥 (seen it a few times but not definite either)

Others:

Buu: 🍫

Janemba: 👺 (not super common)

Siguiendo con los mames de Barbie (todo lo que sale de esa película es material para shipps, verdaderamente jajajaja), vi una publicación que era la contraparte del "Grimace Birthday" de McDonalds, pero era la malteada de Barbie entonces en lugar de morir te volvía una bichota, turboexotica, chiquimami, entonces dibujé esto mientras procrastinaba mi tesis. Besos.

MORE ABOUT AYA MATSUI

DISCLAIMER: This is not meant to attack Matsui nor any of the others who previously worked on the series (or those who currently work on the series). This is just to aid us in having an understanding of why Yamcha & Krillin are viewed in a negative light by the fandom. No hate towards them & we shouldn't harass any of them. We understand how things come about so that we can present corrections & prevent misinformation when appropriate by using discretion.

HER MISUNDERSTANDING OF VEGEBUL & DISDAIN FOR YAMCHA:

DBZ filler EP 124 & 125 were written by Aya Matsui. She is OBVIOUSLY a Vegeta fangirl who seems to not like Yamcha very much. In those episodes, Matsui writes for Bulma's parents talk about how amazingly strong Vegeta is and how good looking he is.

And without valid reason, Bulma was written to care WAY too much for the guy who threatened to kill her more than once, treated her like dirt, & was responsible for the death and torment of her friends.

And its revealed in the filler that Bulma wanted attention from her boyfriend AND a genocidal maniac who threatened her life multiple times. And the previous threat on her life was recent.

This filler honestly made Bulma look worse than she was in the manga. Bulma was horny & dumb in the manga and regretted her actions. DBZ filler made Bulma appear as if she developed Stockholm Syndrome for Vegeta along with her Hybristophilia (sexual interest & attraction to criminals; Bandit Yamcha, Zarbon in filler, Vegeta).

Matsui appears to have been one of the many who believed the lie Future Bulma told Future Trunks & then wrote for Bulma to fall for Vegeta in an unbelievable way before Toriyama revealed what REALLY happened. In reality, Bulma stupidly slept with Vegeta anyway despite him being evil & genocidal because she was horny and currently single after breaking up with Yamcha again. Then, Bulma couldn't stand Vegeta for years.

Aya Mastui & Toei had jumped the gun because they didn't know that Toriyama planned for Bulma to to regret sleeping with Vegeta. It WAS NOT some romantic story. There was no love between them when it began. They both hated each other after their one night stand & only came to care for each other over the span of many years due to Future Trunks.

It's a unique romance story that many VegeBul fans ignore for some reason in favor of a prince saving her from an abusive boyfriend when the prince was the actual abuser & so was she. Them forming a relationship due to their son from the future? No other DB couple has that kind of story.

Meanwhile, Yamcha gets ignored for the most part in DBZ EP 124 & 125 unless it was to make him look bad so that the currently evil Vegeta looked better. These two filler episodes were simply VEGETA WANKING. Just evidence of Matsui being a fan of Vegeta's design, but not understanding the character. And just as she did not understand the character well, most Vegeta fans don't understand him either & only like the husk of the character.

Nothing wrong with being a Vegeta fangirl or fanboy. Just pointing out a fact & how it skewed Matsui's depiction of reality in this & other instances. I just wonder why there aren't many fangirls/fanboys of End of Z Vegeta? That's my favorite Vegeta. Vegeta fans try to make evil Vegeta like EoZ Vegeta, so why not be a fan of the developed version of him instead of taking away development from the so-called "most developed character"? Seems unreasonable & illogical to me. Matsui seems to have became a fan of EoZ Vegeta with how she wrote GT Vegeta to behave.

But, back to her dislike for Yamcha...

Matsui wrote the filler scene of DBZ EP 70 where Bulma has a dartboard with Yamcha's face on it when Krillin & Gohan are searching for her.

That dartboard was not present in the manga. And why would Bulma have that after she cried over Yamcha's death and went to Namek to bring him back to life? Makes her look worse than when she didn't take accountability for the arguments she started with Yamcha as she briefly fantasized about Goku for a moment on Namek in the original manga.

I personally believe that back then, Matsui may have felt some sort of connection with Bulma in some way (not saying for a fact), but she didn't understand the character well (as many Bulma fans don't) & didn't realize that Bulma started the arguments instead of Yamcha. Then, Matsui gave Bulma a "Yamcha dartboard" in the episode she adapted.

HER DISDAIN FOR KRILLIN:

LASTLY... Aya Matsui also seemed to not like Krillin very much either as shown by DBZ EP 117 where Krillin is treated as a joke for most of the episode, Malon treats Krillin poorly, & she flirts with other guys right in front of him (even with Krillin's close friend Yamcha). Then, in DBZ EP 167, there is a scene that has Yamcha & Krillin training to fight Cell, and both are treated as clumsy jokes rather than highly skilled martial artists. But, Krillin is treated as more of a joke than Yamcha as Yamcha mocks then kicks him in the face.

So, Matsui seemed to have strongly disliked Yamcha, but disliked Krillin a bit more. Why do I say so? BECAUSE Matsui was the head writer of DBGT where Krillin and his family are inaccurately portrayed. Marron & others were written to behave like Bulma & Krillin is almost always insulted by his wife & daughter. And Yamcha is mostly absent for the entire series. She is also one of the ppl who worked under Takao Koyama; the headwriter for DBZ who strongly disliked Krillin. So, Koyama, Matsui, Kubota, & others of Koyama's "underlings" who worked on DBZ & GT wrote episodes that depicted both Krillin & Yamcha in negative ways.

So, thanks to Koyama, Matsui, & others, many fans do not understand Yamcha nor Krillin and have a false depiction of them which in many cases resulted in undue hatred of the characters.

Again, this is not to attack Matsui or anyone else. Just gathering information to share an understanding as to why filler scenes in DBZ have negatively impacted the perception of certain characters for all of these years. First we must know & understand, then we correct the perception in our own unique ways when the opportunity presents itself.

最新英語スラング略語一覧

日本の皆さん、こんにちは。🥰

私は最近、SNSがソーシャル・ネットワーキング・サービスのことだと知って驚きました。英語では「social media」とか「my socials」と言い、"Find my socials in this link” と書いてあれば、「私の他のSNSはこちらのリンクをご覧ください」の意味になります。また、禁止を表すNGも同様で、英語圏ではみられない表現です。It's not goodという言い方はあります。

(my socials <- 私の他のSNSはこちらのリンクをご覧ください 😉)

今回は、外国人がSNSを使う際によく使う略語について説明します。外国語でよく使われる略語や絵文字には、さまざまな意味があるので、ここで少しリストアッ��してみますね。

※Fuckingのような失礼な言葉が多用されていることに驚く人も多いと思いますが、これは、元々インターネットスラング自体が非常にインフォーマルなためです。

Goat (🐐)：本来動物のヤギの意味ですが、一般的には「greatest of all time」（史上最高）の略語として使います。憧れのアーティストやキャラクターに対して 「a goat」または 「the goat」と言えば、その人が最高、最強、超いい人、のような意味になります。英語圏以外でも通じます。

ドラゴンボールでは、悟空が🐐であることは間違いない！英語圏の人は "Goatku "と書くこともある。

NGL: I’m not going to lie.が短くなったもの。信じてもらえないだろうけど、マジな話。

TBH (TBQH): to be honest / to be quite honestの略「ぶっちゃけ」。主に否定的な意見を述べるときに使用。TBF (to be fair)も似ているが、こちらは公平な意見を述べるときに使い「正直〜」といったニュアンス

FR : for realの略。肯定文「マジで、本当に」。感嘆文 FR?は 「マジで？」

IKR：I know, right?、激しく同意・それな 。例 「今週の話はめっちゃ良かった！」 「それな。ベジータかっこよかったよね」

IMO：in my opinionの略「私の意見では」。控えめバージョンは IMHO (in my humble opinion) ＝私の意見を言わせていただきますと

AF: "as fuck "の略で「とても、超」。fuckという言葉を書いてしまうよりは失礼にあたらないとされているが、いずれにせよ非常にくだけた表現。例："Bulma is smart af"（ブルマは超頭いい！）。

OFC: of fucking courseの略。「もちろん」を強調した「もちろんだよ！当然だよ！」

W: winの略で、「勝利、勝者」の意。日本語の「笑」の意味はありません。好きなキャラ名の後にFTW(for the win)と書けば「〜しか勝たん」

L: lose / loss / lostの略。Wの反対語。 “Take the L”とは「負けを認めろ」「この負け犬」。日本語ではあまり使わない表現？

Peak: 文字通り「最高潮、最高、絶頂期」。つまり今現在はPeakではないことを意味する。懐かしんで使うことが多い。例��Peak Gohan was SS2 Gohan against Cell.（セル戦のSS2悟飯はマジ良かった"

Mid: middleの略。普通かそれ以下、退屈。忘れてよし、な物。

注：スラングには、黒人コミュニティで作られネット上に拡散したものも多く、黒人以外が使うと極めて人種差別的・攻撃的と見なされることがあります。念のため、そのようなものはここでは書いておりませんが、興味のある方はAAVE（African American Vernacular English）について 調べてみてください。

/x（スラッシュと小文字の組み合わせ）は、トーン・インジケーターと呼ばれ、口調を表します。文字のみでコミュニケーションする際に、誤解を避け、意図を明確にするのに役立ちます。

たくさんありますが、オタク界隈で最も一般的なものは以下の通り：

/s - sarcasm 皮肉

/jk -  just kidding 冗談だけど

/srs - serious 真面目な話

/pos.-positive 良い意味で

/neg.-negative ネガティブな意味で

Simp: 「好きな人のためなら何でもするけど報われない人、尻にひかれている人」の意味で、あるキャラクターの熱狂的ファンであることをやんわりと非難する言い方です。自分に使えば自虐的になります。英語圏の人がセクシーな絵に「Simp!」とコメントすることがあるが、これはアーティストの描いたキャラクターに惚れてしまったことを意味し、多少の冗談を含むことも多いです。

Oof：発音はウーフ、本来はお腹を殴られた時の音。痛々しいこと、衝撃的なこと、超恥ずかしいことが起きたときに使う。

Yikes：「うわっ！」 「うげ！」といったニュアンスで使われ、嫌悪感を意味することが多い。

詳しくはこのウェブサイトをご覧ください。 これらの略語は日常的に使われるものであり、私が挙げたようなオタク文化用のものとは異なる。

@aolihuiさんにはこの記事で大変お世話になりました。貴重な時間を使って私を助けてくれて、本当にありがとう！
