Dragon Ball’s characters are iconic and well-known for their serious strength and power, so it’s easy to forget that the series was always intended to have a healthy sense of humor to go with it. One of the most enduring aspects of Akira Toriyama’s characteristic humor comes out in one of the most easily overlooked places: the character’s names.No character in Dragon Ball is named by accident. Each and every character is thoughtfully named as a humorous pun. It’s a running gag throughout the series, and even Goku wasn’t safe from it in the end. While many of Dragon Ball’s best pun names are even better in the original Japanese, some of them translated perfectly into English in a way that’s just as silly and memorable as Toriyama intended.Beerus’ name is a pun on the word beer, but he’s not the only character named after alcohol. His retainer, Whis, is actually named after whiskey, and his brother Champa is was named after champagne. This gives a whole new meaning to the “drunken fist” fighting style.
