Kuso!

≈ “Shit! / Damn! / Crap!”

/KOO-soh/interjection

The single most common Japanese expletive in anime. Literally means 'shit/excrement' but is used as casually as English 'damn' or 'crap.' Its severity depends entirely on how it's translated — 'kuso' can become anything from 'darn' to 'shit' depending on the dub.

/chee-koo-SHOW/interjection

A Japanese exclamation of intense frustration. Literally 'beast!' — calling the situation (or person) beastly/inhuman. Goku screams it frequently in Dragon Ball. Often translated as 'damn it!' or 'son of a bitch!' in English dubs.
