Because 西遊 is an actual word in Japanese?
Lmao.
It’s a 500+ year old Chinese story,
Comparing that to some Japanese mangaka who got lucky to be where he’s at is lol.
We don’t have any proof to confirm why he went with that name, unless there’s an interview I’m missing?
Is this your lame attempt...
It’s a proper noun(固有名詞), or coined word, so there is no meaning or best way to translate it.
At best, you’ll have to look at each Kanji
or dissect the name into several parts to assume or interpret what it means.
the 白書 Hakusho part of the name is supposedly based on White paper, an official...
DB post-21st Budokai wouldn’t have evolved into the more gritty style without fist lol.
AT and his editor being convinced is all the
evidence I need to prove your point wrong.
I think Scotty’s post pretty much debunked
your claims too, I’ll have to read up on ATs
influences for DB to be sure...
