Piccolo is Piccolo. The "demons" in the original Dragonball had a music theme. Piccolo's minions were Drum, Piano, and Tamberine.

Goku doesn't mean rice at all; that's Gohan.

Best to use Goku's Saiyan name Kakarot, if you want a food joke. Kakarot is carrot.

Son Goku is the Japanese name of Son Wukong from Journey to the West. Piccolo is the musical instrument, just like his henchmen are also named after instruments. Krillin is a weird American version of the Japanese name Kuririn, a combination of kuri (), chestnut, and rin () the Japanese pronunciation of lin, as in Shaolin Monk (Japanese is Shourin).

It's revealed that Vegeta has a long lost brother

Named Tarble

Vegeta + Tarble = Vegetable

It's kind of dumb but also kinda cute

Krillin is a fine translation of Kuririn. The Rin is obviously supposed to be Lin like Shaolin. Kuri can be translated as Kri since people tend to skip the u sound in somethibg like Kuri. And an extra L makes it roll off the tongue better.

There is debate over how much vowels are silenced in some words by some speakers of Japanese, but kuri is not one of those words.

He says it clearly a few times around the 15 second mark.

A lot of people think Piccolo is pickle. You literally don't have to change anything to get the meaning of his name. I wonder why this mistake is so common. Not trying to target you TC, I have seen a lot of Youtubers do this as well.

also, saiyans aren't even native to planet Vegeta.
they took over the planet Plant which were inhabited by the Tuffles. the Tuffles(tsufuru/ tsfurian) name was originally based on Fruits(furutsu), but the translation made them sounds like it was referencing Truffles instead.

btw Frieza is named after a refrigerator because he ruled over the vegetables, and his elite troop are dairy products.

Ah now I get it. So drum = chicken drumstick, piano = pizza, tamberine = tangerine?

I always thought Krillin was named for the Krill, a very small crustacean. Because he is so short.
