How Did They Name Dragon Ball Techniques?
Technique names in Dragon Ball often mix Japanese wordplay with references to martial arts, mythology, and Akira Toriyama's quirky humor. Think of 'Kamehameha' — it combines 'kame' (turtle) and 'hameha' (wave), sounding cool and meaningful!

As a lifelong Dragon Ball fan, I can tell you the names are a mix of Japanese puns and epic-sounding words. That's why they hit so differently!
Toriyama used a lot of wordplay and cultural references. Sometimes it's just what sounds awesome, like 'Final Flash' or 'Special Beam Cannon'.
Akira Toriyama named many techniques by combining elements of Japanese language, his personal interests, and puns. Gotta love the 'Destructo Disc'–sounds epic and does exactly what it says!
Real talk: They just made up what sounded the coolest. 'Spirit Bomb'? 'Big Bang Attack'? Pure hype.
