- 1 The kanji for “asu” (“tomorrow”) is supplied with furigana in order to disambiguate its pronunciation (it can also be read as “ashita” or “myōnichi”).
- 1 This “hundred million” presumably refers to the figurative “hundred million people” of Japan (though the population is actually greater than that). This makes the most sense when one reads it as a goodbye to the series’ fans: as the final song in Final Bout, “THANK YOU!” was the last original Dragon Ball music until 2004, seven years later.
-
- 2 The kanji supplied for “asu” (same as above) read “mirai” (“the future”).
-
-
- 3 The kanji for “me” (“eyes”) is more commonly read “hitomi” (literally “pupils”, but also figuratively “eyes”).
-
-
- 4 The kanji supplied for “asu” (as in notes 1 and 2, above) once again read “mirai” (as in note 2).
