The Kamehameha blast was named after the Hawaiian King Kamehameha

@squirrel_hat @dj Did not know that, so Hawaiians were even missing out on that until it was brought to our attention. Lol. Lmao.

@Largo @squirrel_hat @dj Its probably also why Master Kame lives in an island with palm trees and a tropical sea turtle.

Well Kame means turtle since Roshi is the turtle hermit, hame written in kana is just slang for sex(he's a pervert), and ha just literally means wave. That's my theory where the name came from.

@goalkeeper@nicecrew.digital Don't quote me on this, but I THINK that King Kamehameha's name came first, and the Japanese just transliterated it into their language

>It came first
No shit retard. That doesn't mean that's entirely the reason. Language has meaning.

@goalkeeper@nicecrew.digital Yeah, I just explained my theory. Are you alright?

No you stated it as fact. See above.

Do you not know what the word "kame" means and its significance in Dragon Ball Z or something?

He's on minds. Do you really need to ask that?

@dj The Kamehameha is named after one of their kings, if I recall correctly.

@coded_artist @dj theres actually a Kamehameha freeway in Oahu and everyone who gets on it starts driving SUPER FAST AND CRASHES AS HARD AS THEY CAN!!! KABOOOOOM HAHAHA!!

...I mean it would be cool if they did that.

@jerkdouglas @dj @coded_artist That's actually the reality of it. The highway was made back in the 1920s, when cars were a lot slower. Hence it's super curvy and dangerous to drive faster than 25 mph in certain spots in the countryside, particularly when it's rainy or in the sections with no lights during night, but most people do so anyways. The highway took out four people in my high school class in three separate accidents, first dead body I ever saw was a motorcyclist who hit a rock when I was riding home from school.

Parts of it is literally falling into the ocean too.

@Everett_True @dj @coded_artist My absurd assumptions always seem to shine with truth.

I've only really driven on it a handful of times during brief visits.

@coded_artist @dj It's actually not. 亀 is the kanji for turtle, read as Kame in this context. ハメ (hame) can mean to break or to destroy something, or can be slang for "having sex." 波 is the kanji for "wave," read as "ha" in this context.

Thus, Kamehameha translates to either "Turtle Destruction Wave" or "Turtle Fucking Wave."

The similarity to some hawaiian is just a coincidence.

@Forgetful_Gynn @coded_artist @dj What are the chances that toriyama intended the second meaning....

@EdBoatConnoisseur @coded_artist @dj Considering the extreme amount of puns in his works and the fact that muten roshi is quite the pervert, pretty high i'd say.

Don't try to explain this to him, his entire rebuttal is "hurr durr king came first"

@Forgetful_Gynn @dj I did not know that, LOL!

@flux_the_cat @coded_artist Listen, me and loco moco are chill. I mean, I've had the exact same dish in a greasy midwestern diner at 3am and they didn't try to call it a cultural artifact, but still.

@snappler @coded_artist hey don't get me wrong i ain't even saying it's bad, it's just funny that every aspect of their culture came from america and japan

@CrustyBurgerhead @coded_artist They didn't, It's a yukata sewn into a shirt.

Explains the pattern.

@pernia everyone needs that.

yes .. many predictions still coming true
