His name is actually King Furry? When they said that in abridged I thought they were joking.

Lot of names in Dragonball have little puns behind them. Some survive translation unscathed, some don't. Ka(carrot). Vegeta(ble). Nappa (Cabbage), Raditz (Radish). Bulma comes from Bloomer, Her dads name is Dr. Brief, her mom is Panchy (Panty), and her son is Trunks. Whole undergarments family.

Then there's the Journey to the West comparisons...

Also in the Buu saga, we have the the villain Bibidi, his son Babidi, and the monster Buu.

Put 'em together and what have you got? Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!

Dragon Ball is not known for its subtlety, that's for sure.

I was telling my friend about the lore, and he thought I made up the name King Furry as a joke. Had to show him screenshots from DBZ:Kakarot to convince him otherwise
