On the topic of Dragon Ball Daima again, the OP theme actually has a very direct "thank you" to Toriyama in these lyrics: 夢はTORIどり なYAMAない AKIRAめない Yume wa TORIdori NaYAMAnai AKIRAmenai SO LOVELY. The English subs make no attempt to handle this deep wordplay though. Understandable but a bit sad.

I wouldn't know the first way to make this apparent and localize well either, for what it's worth. I guess the best way is to just include the romaji lyrics in the subs...!
