Could be a non-binary person, don't be a bigot.

Edit: This might just be the page-topper with the least amount of context I ever posted.

How can it be the name of Videl's mom, it doesn't anagram to anything even remotely devil-like

Well, Miguel is an archangel, the one who kicked Lucifer's arse in fact.

In other words, Miguel smashes Mr Satan.

Miguel is Michael.

Literally, it's the same name spelled differently, like John and João. Or Nikolai and Nicholas. Or Rafael and Raphael.

I highly doubt Toriyama KNOWS what non-binary people are. Otherwise, yeah, that'd be a fair point, but, Japan still treats female homosexuality as a phase, so gender identity, eeesh...

And "That's Michael, not Miguel"? Who knew the Bible was written in English and every other language got their names from elsewhere...

No seriously, that's one big Open Mouth, Insert Foot.

Miguel is a pretty uncommon name for a woman, let's be honest.

...I've actually never met a woman with that name. I assumed Toriyama did that because Toriyama is weird to the point that "Mark" is a weird name in this setting.

@Eriorguez: Dude, relax, I was making a joke, I know the real reason is that Toriyama didn't know Miguel isn't supposed to be a woman's name.

And no one can throw rocks, because there's plenty of names from places foreign to yours that would sound like a man's name and is actually a woman's name and vice-versa.

For instance "Illya" is a man's name in Russia, but nowhere in Brazil you would find anyone naming their baby boy with it.

Nah, just in case, that's one of the things I don't want to screw up on.

Also, not knowing names tend to have different variants, or that "Michael" and "Miguel" are the same name (as are, say, "Mihail", or "Michele"), is something... odd. As in, makes you look bad if you defend they aren't the same. But I should stop, I'm being an ass.

Play a bit with this if you are curious, by the way.

Detail I really like about the Short: if you pay attention, both Lazuli and Krillin paid for the date. In proportionally equal measure.

Krillin notes at the beginning that he budgeted for the restaurant. He has just enough money for two drinks, two meals, and either an appetizer or a dessert. He winds up giving it all to the obnoxious waiter to pay for the table he destroys, which he explains as the reason why he can't pitch for the burgers.

Krillin paid 100% of what he had for this date.

Lazuli notes in the beginning that all she had on her before she was grabbed by Gero was a Spencer's gift card, a joint, and 1600 zenni ($14.88, yen to dollar conversion). She gives the gift card to the waiter as his tip, smokes the joint (offering Krillin a hit), and buys the burgers. About $15 can get you two meals at a fast food place if you don't go overboard, without having to settle for cheapo-menu items.

Lazuli paid 100% of what she had for this date.

She saw just how much Kuririn wanted to make the date special, literally spending every penny he had, and decided it was only fair that she responded in kind.

No wonder they're the most stable couple in the franchise alongside Gohan and Videl.

She's a keeper, Kuririn, just put a ring on it already.

What's that TFS quote where Goku describes his dick like something from a cartoon where just dust shoots out? I swear it was from Devils, Deities, and Doing the Dirty, but it wasn't in the transcript and it's not a deleted scene.
