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".
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.
タラ = Tara/Cod and バン = Ban/Van, however, it is rather common in Japan to combine words by removing some characters to create new ones in modern media. By separating the characters but keeping them together (タラ バン) it came out as "Tara Bang" so the original meaning of the name is up in the air without notes from the creators.
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.
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.
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?

that is correct!
Snails in japanese can be called "denden mushi" and "wani" literally means crocodile/alligator
I had to double check research on my memory of what Wani means and I 100 percent agree.
I realized that taraban was a community poll monster before he was competing with goat monster kingusaurus III and u-killersaurus
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
7:00
Who let a train in my classroom?

It must be very convenient to work on a series where any given fever dream/hallucination can be turned into an episode.
That's essentially my opinion of most of these creatures. "What the heck are these people smoking, and how can I get some?"
I love the neon cat meme but with the two tarabans
Glad I got to see this live
There were actually two Taraban gashapon, one of the parent and one of the child (to scale).
I love your videos bro!

Happy Bday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I'M cloning myself so you don't feel left out
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂
Wow that’s a Tiga kaiju! I was sure it was a 60s/70s monster by this design!
"YOUNG MAN IF YOU DONT MAKE IT STOP-"
"BEEEEEEEE-"
"WHO BROUGHT A TRAIN IN MY CLASSROOM-"
Can you do a video explaining the various categories of monsters like Kaiju, Kaijin, Oni, and so forth?
Oni just means demon, Seijin are normal sized aliens, Kaijin are human sized monsters, Daikaiju are giant monsters
Can you make barugon from gamera universe bio nex plss
The road signs were in place of the eye stalks, making me think Taraban has disguise or illusion abilities
Congratulations!!!!
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.
YEAH

the whole taraban plot seems pretty similar to Raindron from Ultraman Taro
i'm a few episodes behind but you better believe i'm gonna post ecogainder on all three
When the train crashed in the classroom, I wished one of the students said "I like trains".
Isn't Taraban supposed to the rainbow colour version of Namegon the 1st snail Kaiju from Ultra Q series.
I watched this live 🔴
Taraban The Rainbow Snail
3:15, they didn't vanished they got the form of nearby plates.
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.
Would you do any Spectreman villains? They were hella unique.
At long last we finally know what spinosaurus looked like.
another live stream missed...
honk
at least Taraban didn't make meowing sounds like a certain sentient sponge's pet snail.
There is a giant snail kaiju in Ultra Q!
On the phone makes me think of the den den mushi from one piece
We love Mr toku
3 days three episodes yes!!!!
When r u gonna do red king?
Last kaiju can you explain gorgo for its history, image, ability and skills 😅😊😅
Den den mushi are snail phones in one piece.
Taraban vs Ultra Q Martian snail.
Do you have a frilled Godzilla
HOLD ON HOLD ON PROFFESOR OUT OF ALL THE KAIJU THAT ARE OUT THERE(especially sadora) YOU PICK TARABAN WHY😭😭😭😭
