Why are all the Saiyans vegetables? Why is everyone in Frieza's race named after a different synonym for the word "cold"? Why are the Ginyu Force named after dairy products? Why is "Briefs" a last name in this universe? Bibidi, Babidi, Boo? What the fuck is that?

Then the entire Android Saga, they just give them basic ass names lmao. "Android 16","Android 17", "Android 18", "Cell". You sure you don't want to name them after different cheeseburger components? No room for a "Kessup," "Murster", "Bon", or "Pahtee"?

I don't see how its odd. You have to realize that he is basically using words that sound foreign and interesting from his perspective. Like how Americans often name their children things like Taco or Baguette.

Are you really questioning Toriyama's complete and utter lack of creativity?

It's actually the opposite. He is a pretty creative guy.
