Well... Considering how most of the Saiyans' names are deliberate spoonerism wordplays, it isn't too surprising. Hell, 'saiya' is a spoonerism of 'yasai', which is 'vegetables' in Japanese. 'Vegeta' (spelled 'Bejita') -> short version of the Japanese pronunciation of the word 'vegetable' ('bejitaburu').

You know, the best part of DBZ fansubs in the 90s was actually the tie-in commercials. If FUNi licenses Super, can they please include some of those somehow? Laughing

I... I'm pretty sure most of us have known that for a few decades.

Given Naruto's love for ramen, they should do a Vegeta and Naruto ad to promote this.

granted this isn't Vegeta's first time dealing with food if anyone remembers the song 'Vegeta's Cooking Hell - Oknomiyaki Battle'

But cheese sauce doesn't go with Cup Noodles! I've tried some of the flavors of Cup Noodles and Instant Lunch with cheese, and they're terrible! Broccolians these are not.

Why is this fitting for Vegeta? Over 700,000 views on that YT ad makes well over 9000!
