Pandamn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta

Yeah, it should be a bad pun name. That's the point of it.

Reminds me of when they start translating the pun names for monsters in the Dragon Quest games, rather than making up new ones. Some people complained, but no! That's the actual way they'd ALWAYS been named in the original games. We were now getting the writers original intent: horrible puns left and right.

Let Laios be asinine. That's the joke.

Can't believe people played a game with Toriyama characters (well, character design) and had the audacity to complain about joke names.

He should have named it Laios Jr.

I support this as it walks the fine line of conveying the original point (dumb name) without leaning all the way over into distractingly silly.

I like to think Laios was thinking of a name and thought of what his BEST FRIEND SHURO said a sword should be named. (Shuro just wanted him to go away while he was macking on falin)

Laios doesn't even know how to pronounce Toshiro, how would he know what a generic Japanese name sounds like?

Laios named his sword Kensuke because he picked up a little bit of the eastern tallman language from his best friend Shuro, and thought his katana was the coolest thing ever.

Presumably to see exactly how her tail connects to her spine. It is a valid anatomical question (and the way it's usually depicted in other works with catgirls doesn't make much sense), but obviously he should not have asked it like that.

Yeah, there's all kinds of ways for the tail to attach to the body some of them more realistic than others, it's perfectly within the bounds of scientific curiosity. Laios needs to learn tact though.

The proper anatomical way is for the tail to be an extension of the coccyx but that doesn't give the kind of profile manga artists want for their catgirls, hence the various impossibilities you see instead. Usually connecting to the spine at right angles which is impossible from an evolutionary standpoint.

So he wants to know if it looks like a Gawr Gura shark tail or if it is following the direction if the spine.

If we're talking about novels and bears, I always remember a description I read. "Bear that has lived too much on other animals is not very nice, but bear that has had plenty of honey and fruit is excellent, and this turned out to be that sort of bear."

So if that's true, then bears aren't even an exception. Just a variant on the rule.

Prince Caspian? The only thing I remember about bear meat is that it's supposed to be pretty greasy and I know that's where I got that from

Yep. It's also a scene where, appropriately for Dungeon Meshi, there's discussion if the protagonists ate something sapient or not, and if that renders things unacceptable, before ultimately agreeing to just cook it anyway.
