Goongala

"Goongala" is Casey Jones' battle cry. It originates from Mirage Comics, but also appears in the 2003 TV series and the 2012 TV series.

In the Mirage comics, "Goongala" is given no pronunciation guide. In the 2003 TV series, it is pronounced /ˈɡuːŋ.ɡə.lə/ (GOONG-ghə-lə) In the 2012 TV series, it is instead pronounced /ˌɡuːŋˈɡɑː.lə/ (GOONG-GAH-lə).

In the 2003 episode "The Lesson", Casey's modern-day battle cry originated from Mikey, who taught him to shout "Goro Goro Sama!" (ゴロゴロ様, literally, "Mr. Thunder"), which Casey ultimately garbled into "Goongala!"

Trivia

• The phrase originated from an old Tarzan movie. According to Kevin Eastman "Goongala Goongala," is something Tarzan said whenever he wanted an elephant or a lion to do something.[1]
