AT THE VERY LEAST I expect the final confrontation between Claire and Priscilla....
The anime adaptation had one.

My response to that ending, though, is "Seriously? :huh"

Yeah, I saw that too.  :twitch

Let's pray...

Other than that, no parody this time. I'm still shocked at the newest Bleach. Like they touched on it being a new type of super form, but the admitted to super Quincy Ishida by him is also ole school and way outdated compared to them so W-T-F. Oh, and they brought the fusion monster back in, woot.

I'm actually a big fan of the fusion monster (a chimaera, right?). It doesn't waste panels talking - it just smashes things good.
Hmm.

The chinese version of it(which I think is about as close to the japanese original as any translation could be, due to language similarities), has it as "Turtle School Ki Blast" for what its worth.
Everything is edible. Just that there are things only edible once per lifetime.
It's a god-eat-god world.

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

I'd always heard Kamehameha translated as "Turtle Destruction Wave".

Dude! No. Just no.

Kamehameha is originally written as かめはめ波. It has nothing to do with the Hawaiian personage.

Kame = Turtle.
Hame = Shell.
Ha = Wave.

It's a no-brainer. Seriously.

None of the kanji for "destruction" read even remotely close to hame.

Sure it does, Toriyama loves puns. Apparently he asked his wife for a name starting with Kame and she suggested the king.

This applies to a lot of japanese media I think. They really love the puns when they can get away with them.

Regardless, as it's written that's how it translates.

I just watched Tenchi Muyo! GXP on youtube thanks to FUNimation.  Once I realized the main character wasn't Tenchi (about three minutes into the first episode), it became rather enjoyable.  And absolutely hilarious in the usual Tenchi style of "random guy has a bunch of crazy women after him."

Why spoilers?
Here's another example. By using the following kanji:

雷唾蛙

Which are literally Thunder, Spittle, and Frog, you can write a totally cool technique name... that reads RAIDAA (Rider)

EDIT: Arabs don't write in ideograms, therefore your point about Alladdin is fallacious. (By the by, that's how you spell it if you romanize Alladdin. It literally means "the thief". In the original tale, the character had no name, he was merely referred to as "the thief".)
Still looking for an excuse to use a ninja named Gu who wields a glowing "thunder blade", just so they can talk about the Light of their Raitou, and introduce themselves as "Raitou-nin Gu". :p

Also, I'd heard that Aladdin was originally something like Allah-Al-Din.
