What is Goku\u2019s original Saiyan name?<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n<p>\n        <label class=\"sj-option-btn sj-opt-1a\" for=\"sj-q1a\"><span class=\"sj-option-letter\">A<\/span>Vegeta<\/label><br \/>\n        <label class=\"sj-option-btn sj-opt-1b\" for=\"sj-q1b\"><span class=\"sj-option-letter\">B<\/span>Kakarot<\/label><br \/>\n        <label class=\"sj-option-btn sj-opt-1c\" for=\"sj-q1c\"><span class=\"sj-option-letter\">C<\/span>Bardock<\/label><br \/>\n        <label class=\"sj-option-btn sj-opt-1d\" for=\"sj-q1d\"><span class=\"sj-option-letter\">D<\/span>Raditz<\/label>\n      <\/p>\n<div class=\"sj-feedback\">\n<p>\u2713 Correct! Goku\u2019s birth name is Kakarot, given to him on Planet Vegeta before he was sent to Earth as a baby. His Saiyan rival Vegeta famously refuses to call him \u201cGoku\u201d and always refers to him by his true Saiyan name, Kakarot.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 That answer missed harder than a filler arc! The answer is Kakarot. Vegeta is the Saiyan prince, Bardock is Goku\u2019s father, and Raditz is Goku\u2019s older brother. Kakarot is the Saiyan name given to Goku at birth before he was sent to Earth.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sj-btn-next\" for=\"sj-s2\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q2: Kurama --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sj-slide sj-sl2\">\n<div class=\"sj-question-card\">\n<p>02<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"sj-question-text\">Naruto Uzumaki dreams of becoming the Hokage \u2014 the leader of his village.

Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox, was sealed inside Naruto by his father, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, on the day of his birth. What began as a source of fear and isolation for Naruto eventually became his greatest ally and friend.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 That answer missed harder than a filler arc! The answer is Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox. The Ten-Tails is a different, more powerful beast. The Curse Mark is Orochimaru\u2019s seal, and the Rinnegan is a legendary eye technique. Kurama was sealed in Naruto at birth by the Fourth Hokage.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sj-btn-next\" for=\"sj-s3\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q3: Zanpakuto --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sj-slide sj-sl3\">\n<div class=\"sj-question-card\">\n<p>03<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"sj-question-text\">In the manga Bleach by Tite Kubo, the main character Ichigo Kurosaki gains the powers of a Soul Reaper.

Zanpakuto are the signature weapons of Soul Reapers in Bleach. Each Zanpakuto has its own spirit and name, and a Soul Reaper must learn that name to unlock its Shikai (initial release) and eventually its Bankai (final release) forms.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 That answer missed harder than a filler arc! The answer is Zanpakuto. Sacred Gears are from High School DxD, Nen is the power system from Hunter x Hunter, and Bankai is actually a Zanpakuto\u2019s final release form \u2014 not the weapon\u2019s name itself. Zanpakuto literally means \u201csoul-cutting sword.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sj-btn-next\" for=\"sj-s4\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q4: Planet Vegeta --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sj-slide sj-sl4\">\n<div class=\"sj-question-card\">\n<p>04<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"sj-question-text\">In Dragon Ball Z, Frieza is one of the most iconic villains in anime history.

Planet Vegeta, named after King Vegeta, was the homeworld of the Saiyan race. Frieza destroyed it with a single energy blast because he feared the growing power of the Saiyans and the legend of the Super Saiyan. Only a handful of Saiyans survived, including Goku and Vegeta.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 That answer missed harder than a filler arc! The answer is Planet Vegeta. Planet Namek is the home of the Namekians and the Dragon Balls, Planet Sadala is the Saiyan homeworld in Universe 6, and Earth is where Goku was raised. Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta out of fear of the Saiyan race\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sj-btn-next\" for=\"sj-s5\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q5: Quirks --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sj-slide sj-sl5\">\n<div class=\"sj-question-card\">\n<p>05<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"sj-question-text\">My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) by Kohei Horikoshi is set in a world where most people have superpowers.

The protagonist Izuku Midoriya was born Quirkless but inherited the powerful Quirk \u201cOne For All\u201d from the greatest hero, All Might.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 That answer missed harder than a filler arc! The answer is Quirks. Stands are from JoJo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure, Jutsu are techniques from Naruto, and Cursed Techniques belong to Jujutsu Kaisen. In My Hero Academia, superpowers are called Quirks, and they vary wildly from person to person.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sj-btn-next\" for=\"sj-s6\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q6: Cursed Spirits --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sj-slide sj-sl6\">\n<div class=\"sj-question-card\">\n<p>06<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"sj-question-text\">Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami features a power system based on negative human emotions that manifest as dangerous supernatural beings.

Jujutsu sorcerers like protagonist Yuji Itadori use cursed energy to exorcise these dangerous beings and protect humanity.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 That answer missed harder than a filler arc! The answer is Cursed Spirits. Hollows are from Bleach, Demons are from Demon Slayer, and Titans are from Attack on Titan. In Jujutsu Kaisen, negative human emotions give rise to Cursed Spirits that jujutsu sorcerers must exorcise.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sj-btn-next\" for=\"sj-s7\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q7: Water Breathing --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sj-slide sj-sl7\">\n<div class=\"sj-question-card\">\n<p>07<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"sj-question-text\">In Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) by Koyoharu Gotouge, protagonist Tanjiro Kamado uses specialized sword techniques called Breathing Styles.

While Tanjiro later discovers his connection to the legendary Sun Breathing (Hinokami Kagura), Water Breathing was his first and foundational combat style.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 That answer missed harder than a filler arc! The answer is Water Breathing. Sun Breathing is the original style that Tanjiro discovers later through his family\u2019s Hinokami Kagura dance. Fire Breathing and Thunder Breathing are used by other Demon Slayers.

One Piece by Eiichiro Oda holds the record as the best-selling manga series of all time, with over 500 million copies sold worldwide. Running since 1997, the series follows Monkey D. Luffy and his crew on their quest to find the legendary treasure, the One Piece.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 That answer missed harder than a filler arc! The answer is One Piece. While Naruto (~250 million), Dragon Ball (~260 million), and Demon Slayer (~150 million) are all massive sellers, One Piece stands alone with over 500 million copies sold \u2014 making it the best-selling manga in history by a wide margin.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sj-btn-next\" for=\"sj-sR\">REVEAL MY SCORE \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- RESULTS --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sj-slide sj-slR\">\n<p>\n        <span class=\"sj-result-label\">Battle Complete<\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"sj-result-title\">Your Power Level<\/span>\n      <\/p>\n<div class=\"sj-score-box\">\n<p>\n          <span class=\"sj-score-num\"\/><span class=\"sj-score-of\"> \/ 8<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"sj-score-msg\">Are you a Shonen Jump master \u2014 or still stuck in filler episodes?<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sj-btn-restart\" for=\"sj-s0\">\u21bb POWER UP AGAIN<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>The franchise isn&#8217;t stopping there either.
