Going from memory, "Wani" roughly means crocodile/alligator while "Den Den" seemingly means snail. If you look at Taraban's design in Tiga, you'll notice a few reptilian aspects along with the general snail appearance, clawed feet, smooth somewhat warty skin, and a slightly elongated maw with sharp teeth. Going by this, it could be reasoned that his original name "Dendenwani" means something like "Snail Alligator".

[@angem.6717]

that is correct!
Snails in japanese can be called "denden mushi" and "wani" literally means crocodile/alligator

[@yoda908]

I had to double check research on my memory of what Wani means and I 100 percent agree.

[@Cybersharkzzz10910]

I realized that taraban was a community poll monster before he was competing with goat monster kingusaurus III and u-killersaurus

[@Cat_nap_02]

I gotta miss this live bc summer school but I can still watch it after summer school also I saw Taraban in the new ultraman movie shin ultraman

[@pythonguy5070]

7:00
Who let a train in my classroom?

[@isaacsussman5632]

In the anime "One Peice" they have phones that are actually snails called "Den Den mushi" so I imagine Denden refers to some sort of pun or double meaning pertaining to snails and phones.

[@trenthoward6800]

It must be very convenient to work on a series where any given fever dream/hallucination can be turned into an episode.

[@KaijuBiologist]

That's essentially my opinion of most of these creatures. "What the heck are these people smoking, and how can I get some?"

[@dizzytriplegamer6540]

Glad I got to see this live

[@user-jd5fq3bp7t]

I love the neon cat meme but with the two tarabans

[@alexstrang9823]

There were actually two Taraban gashapon, one of the parent and one of the child (to scale).

[@voronOsphere]

Another excellent Kaiju bio! Thanks, Professor!

[@ShoshoDupers]

1:10 the word "Denden" is also used for the kamen rider W memory Gadget creature "Denden sensor", which is a snail robot. if wani is the japanese word for "crocodile", then dendenwani would roughly mean "snail crocodile". makes sense since it looks alot like one.
i should also point out that "denwa" means "telephone", so maybe at one point it was to have some sort of telecommunitive abilities?

[@Wobbegongsharky]

I love your videos bro!

[@DinoboyProductions865]

great auk moment

Wow that’s a Tiga kaiju! I was sure it was a 60s/70s monster by this design!

[@godzillagaming6090]

YEAH

[@alihmaulaakmal]

Can you make barugon from gamera universe bio nex plss

[@lewc3413]

The road signs were in place of the eye stalks, making me think Taraban has disguise or illusion abilities

[@gojicrushers]

train.CHUGGA CHUGGA ULTRATRAIN!

[@lukevereneau2198]

for your 50K special can you do a bio on the character Ultraman (1966) or the original Kamen Rider because that would be awesome for us students.

[@𝓖𝓸𝓲𝓲𝓼-𝓑𝓻𝓸]

I watched this live 🔴

[@ScottyIceSoNice]

i'm a few episodes behind but you better believe i'm gonna post ecogainder on all three

[@PeepStarsGo]

Day 1 of asking you to make a video about Alien Dada or Takkong

[@canis2020]

Can you do a video explaining the various categories of monsters like Kaiju, Kaijin, Oni, and so forth?

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

Oni just means demon, Seijin are normal sized aliens, Kaijin are human sized monsters, Daikaiju are giant monsters

[@mattyoung4990]

Professer do you any plans to talk about shadow moon from the kamen rider series

[@TIGERZY2K]

Isn't Taraban supposed to the rainbow colour version of Namegon the 1st snail Kaiju from Ultra Q series.

[@davidgrimes2341]

the whole taraban plot seems pretty similar to Raindron from Ultraman Taro

[@mckenziebryant6729]

When the train crashed in the classroom, I wished one of the students said "I like trains".

[@michaelfontaine6164]

The etymology of the term comes from a word meaning to make a lot of noise. The first mentions of the taraban date back to the 11th century. It was most likely introduced in East-Central Europe by the Ottoman Janissaries.

[@mr.mariooctopus13ofoctober55]

3:15, they didn't vanished they got the form of nearby plates.

[@ZZtheDark]

0:42, gasp!! THE SNAIL!!
1:20, used DeepLTranslate? It's probs better (?)
1:28, dammit. -_-
5:28, reminds me of the baby blue bird monster from Ultraman Taro which its arm got fried after a lightning storm.

[@danishhadi740]

Taraban The Rainbow Snail

[@_na_lyd]

Would you do any Spectreman villains? They were hella unique.

[@kaylaturnis9486]

There is a giant snail kaiju in Ultra Q!

[@hiimsplash7293]

another live stream missed...
honk

[@NeighborNick.]

At long last we finally know what spinosaurus looked like.

[@user-cz8yo4vv7t]

We love Mr toku

[@MysteryMrE]

On the phone makes me think of the den den mushi from one piece

[@Zilla.X]

3 days three episodes yes!!!!

[@Wetyu77]

When r u gonna do red king?

[@nazreinlope9814]

Last kaiju can you explain gorgo for its history, image, ability and skills 😅😊😅

[@Zalachai]

Den den mushi are snail phones in one piece.

[@superiorcybergodzilla5670]

Taraban vs Ultra Q Martian snail.

[@Pandon-shorts]

O. O. I. I

[@vustvaleo8068]

at least Taraban didn't make meowing sounds like a certain sentient sponge's pet snail.

[@kaimadison5521]

Do you have a frilled Godzilla

[@shiny_production]

HOLD ON HOLD ON PROFFESOR OUT OF ALL THE KAIJU THAT ARE OUT THERE(especially sadora) YOU PICK TARABAN WHY😭😭😭😭

[@lukevereneau2198]

you do realize that it is his job as the teacher is teaching US students about something we don't know.

[@shiny_production]

​@@lukevereneau2198yeah I know but I REALY WANT SADORA TO BE NOTICE BRO😭😭😭😭

[@googieboogiequest2677]

Oh no it’s a prideju

[@Godzillaheritage2015]

Hmmmm M.E.M.E.S 5:40

[@aolanikunisan]

Dendenmushi is another way to say snail in Japanese. Back when mushi the word for insect was used for various creatures that weren’t mammals. Also the word for telephone is denwa so maybe it makes sense?

[@Pandon-shorts]

Ha ha funny joke I was to late😢😢😢

[@mohsin-e4d]

🤓 actually, when you curl your tongue, it does not make a train sound. You will only take Greek 🤓

[@crazycravingsfood]

🐌x 🌈 = Taraban!

[@elijahzilla619]

Yeah boy snail

[@pjgarcia3492]

Tbh u don't need to do the student characters, their voices have become more annoying than funny
