During Dragon Ball’s first saga, the Emperor Pilaf Saga, there’s a scene in which Bulma lists off a bunch of sexual terms. These are herohero, pafupafu, kyoikyoi, and ingurimonguri.

Don’t …

In this video, I break down the word puttsun by examining a specific line from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders). Putssun (プッツン, ぷっつん) means to get angry but there’s a lot more to this word that that.
