This part of my site is made for japanese words and mistakes comonly made on anime sites and points out meanings of words

Chi or Ki ???
well first of all chi is from china so if you are talking about dragon ball z then chi is out of the statment. ki is japanese and im pretty sure it is the "energy" that the z warriors and other charecters shoot it is also what toonami translation episodes call "power level" and is what other charecters since when he or she is alive/charging up. but when I talk about people shooting energy I always say chi becuase if you have ever played the game Xeno gears for playstation (VERY KOOL GAME EXTREAMLY GOOD ANIME!!!)you will notice that when you are in battle you can choose CHI and when you do you shoot a red fire ball there are many diffrent attacks but iv only seen that one my freind has it and i only saw him in the beginning.

gokuu? goku? gokou? supersayin? supersai-jin? super-saiyan?
in dragopn ball z the main charecters name is gokou, lots of people argu on how his name is spelt but you cant beat the real thing in the episode when goku trys to get a drivers license you will see he is whereing a hat that says his name and it is spelt GOKOU I just write his name as goku to save time. also lots of people argue about how to spell the word super-saiyan it is properly translated and spelt super-saijin but I spell it super-saiyan so stupid kids can understand it. I also write it SS,MSS,USS 1,2,3,4 or what ever (MSS means mega super-saiyan, and USS means ultra super-saiyan). if you ever hear the word chibi I think it means small,baby, or little kid version of that charecter. you often hear it in the name chibi goku, chibi trunks, chibi whats her name serina's daughter on sailor moon. you also hear mirai no trunks this means that it is the trunks from the future that had to fight the androids that terrorize the world not the trunks born in the android saga.
