Yep! Akira Toriyama, the genius behind Dragon Ball, named many characters after vegetables. For instance, Saiyan names are often vegetable puns. Vegeta comes from 'vegetable,' Kakarot (Goku's Saiyan name) comes from 'carrot,' and Raditz comes from 'radish.'

Not all but many. Most Saiyans have names related to veggies. Vegeta (vegetable), Raditz (radish), and Kakarot (carrot). It鈥檚 a running gag!

Absolutely! It's part of the fun and charm of Dragon Ball. Take Vegeta (vegetable), Kakarot (carrot), and Broly (broccoli) for example!

Actually, YES! Saiyan names are puns on veggies. Vegeta => vegetable, Kakarot => carrot. Toriyama loves his wordplay!

As someone who grew up watching DBZ, I can confirm the vegetable puns! Vegeta, Raditz, and Kakarot are just a few examples.
