I've decided to give a few behind the scenes facts about the story and some of the characters in question for those interested. So you may ask why name the Saiyan character Korian? Well, Korian is a pun for coriander also more commonly known as cilantro. It's in the same plant family as parsley which is where we get Parserii, his mother. Korian's father being named Kabo comes from Kabocha which is Japanese for pumpkin. Our spunky half Rabbit person/half Saiyan, Shihori, comes from the Japanese phonetic pronunciation of Sea Holly. More specifically, the Amethyst Sea Holly which is in the same plant family mentioned above. Kitsune is Japanese for fox.
Most of the planet names are short hand from Spanish words. Korian's homeworld of Pas is for Paz meaning peace because it was a peaceful time. Adopted home of Basur for Basura because Universe 9 was called trash. Metius draws a connection to Adriaan Metius, a Dutch astronomer, I wanted some connection to space since it was their first time venturing out. Verted for Vertedero which is a Dump a direct call back to Bergamo of the Trio de Danger calling Universe 9 a dump. I hope you all enjoyed these few behind the scenes facts and please do stay tuned for more story!
