Dragon Ball Super Z Glossary
Okay, this isn't a proper Japanese dictionary, but it will help you
decipher some of the more common terms used in our fan-fics (and, by extension, in
untranslated anime). The spelling isn't always consistent because Japanese language has
its own writing system, and nobody can agree on how things are supposed to be spelled in
Roman alphabet letters ("romaji"). Also, the translations here are not always
literal except where noted as such. The English terms are meant to convey a social impact
similar to the Japanese words and phrases. The words in red
are insults and expletives, not to be used in polite company or with the cute exchange
student from Osaka who just moved into the neighborhood.
