Meme of The Week: It's Over 9000! (What?! No Way!)
Dragon Ball is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. With the ending of Dragon Ball, Toei Animation quickly released a second anime television series, Dragon Ball Z . Picking up where the first left off, Dragon Ball Z is adapted from the final twenty-six volumes of the manga series. It premiered in Japan on April 26, 1989 and ran for 291 episodes until January 31, 1996.
In the original Japanese dub of the series, and in both the Japanese and English language mangas, Vegeta states that Goku’s level is actually “over 8000
The phrase today have been used in place of saying "Like a million!" or "Crap-load!" to describe a large amount.
Example:
Brock Ash, what does the Pokedex say about that pokemon's power level?
Ash: It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!!

PS: Dear Danny, if I ask you to include "attach an image" on comment box, am I asking TOO much?
Dragon Ball great times XD, i remember people not going to school just to watch DBZ lol, it was a huge hit, and even today people are watching, there's only one anime nowadays that can be compared too the huge sucess of DB and that is One Piece, well at least for me
lol! I love that meme :D
How many times has the meme been used!?
OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! Good one.
The english voice actor who did the first "over 9000" was Brian Drummond who made it legendary. Chris Sabat who is Vegeta's current english voice actor will probably have said it over 9000 times more thanks to various releases of DBZ in form of the anime series and games. Now that Funimation has licensed DBZ Kai (not that it was a surprise) poor Chris Sabat will have to say it again.
For me, no one does it better than Chris himself. ^^;
and to think licensing DBZ wasnt enough for funimation. geeze
So there WAS a voice actor change. Hmm. Good to know I wasn't losing my mind. With that in mind, Chris is a super cool dude and an excellent voice actor but, to me Brian added a certain je ne sais quoi to the Vegeta character for me in the beginning. The change wasn't super drastic but I could tell some small personal details weren't there any more in the voiced character.
P.S. The fight scene Vegeta vs Recoome is the still the best anime fight sequence ever, IMO.^^
The best line ever in anime history
I couldn't agree more.
One of my most favourite memes XD
