What is the CORRECT way to Pronounce SAIYAN? | Dragon Ball Dictionary (VIDEO)

I explain why we got multiple pronunciations, why (in a way) they’re all wrong, why kaioken also has two pronunciations, why saibaman’s pronunciation doesn’t suffer from the same problem as Saiyan, a possible scenario in which the SIGH-uhn …

Posted on  May 15, 2025

The “Destructo Disc” is one of Dragon Ball Z’s most well known and–in a sense–powerful techniques. But do you know its Japanese name? Is Destructo Disc an accurate translation?
