Need advice from Japanese speaker. For my model studio/ merch I've been using the name Nibuto, a combination of nipper and kabuto. I had been writing it as ニブト, just literally using the katakana, but that is a complete guess. Leigh's been learning japanese and wrote it in hiragana as にぶと. Thoughts?

Glad I can provide something people cn build!

Daily DBZ 137. While all the fighters sit around talking, figuring out what to do next, Gohan’s been busy shuttling Bulma, her baby, and Yajirobe all piled up on his back. He drops them off with Bulma’s mom then heads home to check on Goku. Meanwhile Piccolo meats with Kami to discuss a merger.

I've been thinking of selling my Gundam sticker designs as prints, minus text. I'll have them at the next show I do (SCGMC in November) and I'll probably put them up on my INPRNT shop. Who's interested?

Daily DBZ 136-2. Its a free-for-all! 17 and 18 overpower the heroes easily. Krillin stays out of the fight. As the Androids are about to leave, he asks them to just chill out and be nice. They refuse because they at least HAVE to kill Goku first. 18 gives him a peck on the cheek and they leave.

Daily DBZ 136. While everyone is off getting beat to bits by the Androids, Maron is still hanging around the Kame House. 2 dudes pull up in a boat looking to be real creapsters to her. So Turtle defies Bulma’s power level reading and whoops these guys’ butts to defend Maron’s honor

Daily DBZ 135-2. Everyone catches up to watch Vegeta fight. He seems to be doing great, but he challenges No. 18 to go all out. Piccolo realizes that the Androids don’t get tired, so her energy stays maxed while she slowly wears Vegeta down, then breaks his arm. Yowch!

Daily DBZ 135. Vegeta chases the Androids down and challenges them to fight. No. 18 takes him on alone, leading him on a big chase through the countryside and along a highway, causing a huge traffic pile-up and several fatalities. But it doesn’t seem like his attacks are doing much to slow No. 18.

Daily DBZ 134-2. 17 & 18 carry the containment pod outside and activate it. Android 16 awakens, but he's different than the other two. He’s full robot and a man of few words. Without anything better to do they decide to follow their last order and fly off to go kill Goku, completely ignoring Vegeta.

Daily DBZ 134. Dr. Gero's having a heck of a time getting the Androids 17 and 18 to listen to them, probably shouldn't have made them out of smug teens. 17 smashes his controller device then after Gero tries to stop them from waking up the last remaining Android, 17 kicks his head off. Rip Dr. Gero.

New custom label to seal orders. Leaning into the model kit aesthetic.

Daily DBZ 133-2. Krillin calls everyone in, but Dr. Gero seals himself up in his lab and everyone stands around arguing about what to do since Vegeta REALLY wants to fight the new Androids. He gets his wish as Gero activates their pods, waking up the new foes.

Daily DBZ 133. Everyone heads up north to search for Android 20. Krillin hears a boom and stumbles into a hunter who got tossed by the Android. Picking up the trail, he finally tracks down the hidden lab entrance in a cliff face.

Baby we are tired.

Daily DBZ 132-2. Everyone has a talk about what to do now that Android 20... er um Dr. Gero got away, supposedly to go activate Androids 17 and 18. Bulma remembers Gero's lab was supposed to be up north, so Vegeta speeds off and Trunks tags after his dad and Bulma realizes he's her kid all grown up.

Daily DBZ132. Bulma shows up on the scene in her jet-car with Yajirobe and baby Trunks in order to get a good look at the Androids, but that guy down there looks like Dr. Gero himself! With that distraction, 20 shouts that Androids 17 and 18 will beat them and escapes in a huge blast of energy.

Daily DBZ 131-2. As he promised, Trunks shows back up prepared to fight the Androids, but he comes across first 19's head then sees Piccolo about to finish off 20. Guys, he's got bad news, these are not the Androids they should be worried about. Also Piccolo totally blows Trunks' cover to Vegeta.

Daily DBZ 131. While hiding in the rocks, Android 20 does some quick scans and realizes Piccolo is the 2nd biggest threat behind Vegeta. So he sneaks up on him and starts draining him, but Piccolo's special uncle powers call out to Gohan who quickly comes and gives Android 20 a big bonk on the head.

I picked up the HG Kshatriya since I needed it as a reference model and spent the afternoon doing a quick clip and build. Feels real weird not sanding or anything but maybe someday I’ll do something with it!

Daily DBZ 130-2. With his hands gone, Android 19 has only moments to scramble away before Vegeta blows him up. Seeing that maybe this isn't going so well, Android 20 scrams and goes to hide in the nearby rocks where without a ki signature, the heroes are gonna have a tough time finding him.

Daily DBZ 130. Vegeta goes nuts on Android 19. The guy really wasn't ready for this heat. 19 snags both of Vegeta's wrists and starts draining his energy, but Vegeta just uses his face for a springboard and yanks No. 19's hands right off. No more energy draining for you!

Daily DBZ 129-2. Now it's finally time for his dramatic reveal. After years of training under absolutely ridiculous conditions, Vegeta giddily reveals that he too has become a Super Saiyan. Back on top, baby! Now it's time to beat some robot ass.

Daily DBZ 129. Goku’s heart disease is tanking his energy. Even a Senzu Bean, capable of fixing a broken neck, does nothing for him. Android 19 gets the upperhand and starts to drain his ki. Luckily, Vegeta chooses this moment to reveal himself with a super kick to 19’s face.

Every single one of these has been redraw and touched up for print resolution. King Kai, the Capsule Ship, and Raditz are brand new drawings as well as Zarbon and Dodoria on the sticker sheet. Gohan peeing is clear-backed so you can put him next to whatever logo you want!

Daily DBZ 128-2. Goku goes nuts on Android 19. Tien is blown away, but Piccolo notices Goku seems weakened and is trying to rush the fight. He lets loose a Kamehameha, but 19 just slurps up the energy with the jewel in his hand. Crud, now he’s juiced back up while Goku looks sick... HIS HEART MEDS!

Daily DBZ 128. Maron of all people shows up at the Kame House looking for Krillin. After turning on the Sailor Moon lamp, she confesses Krillin is the one who got away. Anyway, this is a perfect excuse for Master Roshi to clip show the whole Red Ribbon Army saga to her.

The teens are having fun.

All the designs are off to the printer. Quantities will be limited for now, but if they sell out I will get more.

DBZ 127 The Androids follow Goku and friends to a deserted island. They explain the android scientist Dr. Gero was the last remaining member of the Red Ribbon Army after Goku destroyed it. He studied Goku with little bug bots ever since to develop an android to beat him, but only on Earth.

Daily DBZ 127. Everyone converges on the Androids who allow Krillin to take Yamcha away to be healed. Its clear they wanna fight, so Goku suggests they do that somewhere with no people around. Taking this very literally, Android 20 starts eye zapping the city until Goku stops him with a solid punch.

Took a while to get to it, but the sticker sheet is finally prepped.

Daily DBZ 126-2. Everyone was waiting around to sense the Android's ki, but they're mechanical, they got no ki! They spread out in the city trying to find them. Yamcha comes upon a grizzly murder scene... then joins it as one of the Androids grabs him and jabs a hand right through his tummy!

Daily DBZ 126. The day of the Androids’ appearance arrives. Everyone meets up on a cliff overlooking the island city. Bulma's got a surprise, little baby Trunks! Goku does his best pretending this is new info. Meanwhile Yajirobe shows up with Senzu beans, but on his way out, his car explodes! Uh oh!

Man I had this guy as a kid and not once did I ever have all the pieces in one place.

A little lore for me. Once the original Ocean dub had run its course and there was no indication we'd be getting any more, my brother and I tracked down a bootleg VHS with 2 episodes on it. The first was this episode, which in context is devastating for a 13 year old idiot, but now its a total gem.

First sticker of the new batch is a brand new design! Coming soon!

Daily DBZ 125-2. Meanwhile, Goku is a doofus and can’t remember any of the instructions. He just terrorizes the instructor the whole time. Goku and Piccolo end up rescuing a bus full of kids so while they don’t earn their licenses, at least they earn the respect of the instructors. Sorry Chi-Chi!

Daily DBZ 125. Chi-Chi is tired of the boys punching and kicking around the house while she has to walk to the market on foot. Time for Goku (not her?) to get a drivers license! Piccolo tags along in his human disguise and has a pretty okay time learning to drive a hovercar!

Daily DBZ 124-2. Big surprise, Vegeta overdoes it and accidentally blows up the whole ship. Worried, Bulma pulls Vegeta out of the rubble and dare I say, his stupid space prince routine and her no-nonsense girlboss attitude causes some sparks to fly? Take a hike Yamcha.

Daily DBZ 124. Yamcha peeks in on Vegeta’s training routine inside the Capsule space ship. He’s had the gravity generator suped up all the way to 400G and dodges blasts between robots. So really it seems like no one is training nearly as hard as he is. I’m sure he’ll go Super Saiyan in no time.

Daily DBZ 123-2. Now that everyone’s all caught up, they got 3 years to get as strong as possible to defeat the Androids so they all go off to train. Uncle Piccolo moves in with Goku and Gohan so they can train together and isn’t that just adorable?

Daily DBZ 123. Goku fills everyone in on what he’s been up to. He managed to snag a Ginyu Force pod at the last minute and it took him to its pre-programmed destination, Planet Yardrat. The Yardrats weren’t much fighters, but taught him the Instant Transmission technique, so now he can teleport.

I've been saying for years they would make a billion dollars if they made a Pokemon Animal Crossing-like. Pokopia is close-ish but it better have the long tail of maintaining an aesthetic community.

How much can you tell I love drawing Trunks? Gonna miss ya for a while buddy!

Daily DBZ 122-2. Trunks reveals that Goku died of heart disease before the Androids even showed up so he gives him the meds to cure it. With that he hops in his time machine and heads back to the future, saying he'll return in 3 years to help fight the Androids.

Daily DBZ 122. New Guy pulls Goku aside for a one on one. They both go Super Saiyan and test each others skills. Satisfied, mystery man reveals he's Trunks, son of Bulma and Vegeta (!?!) he came here from 20 years in the future (!?!) to warn about a coming threat: Androids! They kill everyone!

Man anyone else who uses Blue Apron been getting as many issues with their orders as I have since their "relaunch?" Considering cancelling after 10 years.

Daily DBZ 121-3. Three hours later, a Ginyu Force pod crash lands nearby. Just as the purple haired guy predicted, Goku has finally returned! And he’s got a funky new outfit! Now let’s maybe get some answers about what the heck is going on.

Daily DBZ 121-2. New Guy calls over to everyone and leads them to where Goku will be arriving 3 hours later. He even pops out a little fridge capsule and hands out sodas. He’s real cagey and won’t answer any questions like how come he’s a Saiyan with purple hair or where he got that cool jacket.

Daily DBZ 121. King Cold’s pretty impressed with this stranger. He asks to see his sword, assuming its gotta be pretty special. But nah it's just a regular sword. The guy stops Cold's swing, blasts a hole right through his chest and then blows up the rest of him for good measure. Rip King Cold.
