I guess not so many people will get this one unless they were 90s children. The whole answer is that the names of the Saiyans were based on vegetables. Saiyan is a pun on Yasai or vegetable in Japanese. Goku's original birth name was Kakarot (Carrot) and Raditz is obviously based on Radish. It's no surprise either that Planet Vegeta was once known as Planet Plant, its two warring races were the Saiyans and the Tuffles (truffles). Plus, the king was named Vegeta though why isn't the current Vegeta named Vegeta Jr. instead?

Shippaiman's latest episode features Satoru Saito acting as Joe Horimoto who acts as Narita International Airport's manager. In this episode, the Bullet Gang has planted stray bullets into the bags of unsuspecting tourists in Japan. The bullet gang schemers were played by Ryo Ryusei and Ryota Ozawa. They planned to gain money through frame-ups. All Joe offered to tourists is to wrap their bags in plastic which offers no real solutions. Worse, Joe made them pay up extremely high fees every time they caught some bullets in their bags. Ciara Hanna arrived as a guest star for the Shippaiman episode. Her character Gia Jordan appeared to as a tourist in the episode. Gia got angry when she's unjustly framed up. Troy tried to help her out but to no avail. Takeru and Gregory had their investigation leading to Joe's neglect allowed both scam artists Daigo and Marvelous (named after their Super Sentai counterparts) to flourish. Captain Naoyuki berates Joe for his negligence of ...

Here's a funny commercial starring Liu Yifei who's used for Runes Heroes. The guy learns it the hard way when he deludes about Yifei (and I would also) where he nearly kisses his boss. In gaming, there's always the tendency to confuse reality and imagination while you're playing. While I have nothing against gaming in general but some technological advancement can be so distracting. Enjoy this fun video!

Yutaka Hirose who plays as Prime Minister Nobita in Shippaiman praised Naruhisa Arakawa's comedy in the show. Trying to rehash the episode in Akibaranger "Our Pain! Yellow Mama!" we now have another fictional character Nobisuke Tokugawa (PM Nobita's dad, also played by Yutaka Hirose only in flashback) and his mother Tamako Chikamoto-Tokugawa (played by Megumi Mori only in flashback) were given "honors" as heroes. During the death anniversary of Nobisuke and Tamako who were heroes who corrected Ieyasu Tokugawa's mistakes, the son shows himself to be what he is... a free rider. The episode caused a massive protest by former president Nobita's fanatical followers outside the Japanese embassy demanding Shippaiman to be canceled. During the Nobisuke Festival, PM Nobita speaks of how "great" he is because of his father Nobisuke. He also speaks how great his ancestor Ieyasu Tokugawa really was in closing Japan's economy. He speaks how the M...

While I'm no vegetarian and I'm still a meat eater, I can't deny that I still look forward to days when I skip meat. The reason is because there are times I'm just not in the mood for meat and I want to focus on vegetables. So here's some alternatives to meat. Tofu is definitely one meat alternative. Although I've usually eaten tofu with meat but I would sometimes prefer it meatless. Some vegetable dishes will taste better without meat. The other is having gluten instead of meat. I don't want to call it "fake meat" anymore due to all the food scandals as of recent. Instead, it can be called as vegeterian meat or just gluten. It's a chewy treat though tofu is more nutritious so I want to mix them both.

In the latest Shippaiman episode, Atsuko Takahata guest stars as an economic professor named Reiko Maribaron who's accused of being a witch by tabloid journalism. Japan becomes a real dump no thanks to Prime Minister Nobita. He orders Kashiya Sano to hunt down Professor Maribaron because she's now using "witchcraft" to "corrupt" the Japanese people. Due to Kashiya's idioicy, some of the crowd believe that Reiko is a witch and they start hunting her down. The episode took some elements from the Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie. Professor Reiko gets surrounded by Shippaiman and Noopaiwoman who declare her to be a witch. They dress her up as one and blame her for the earthquake that happened. The gullible people buy it which results to Winsbraindraft interfering. With proof that Reiko was no witch and that she speaks the truth about Prime Minister Nobita's economic policies, they manage to rescue her from an angry crowd of gullible Japanese. ...

She's really aged gracefully. Was she in her 30s here?
