Oh, this is a great opportunity to share some history!! The state of Hawai‘i has this flag because this was the flag of the sovereign Kingdom of Hawai‘i (1795-1893). This flag survived the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893, and its subsequent annexation to the U.S.

The flag of Hawai‘i with a Union Jack in the left corner, and right alternating stripes of white, red and blue. Each stripe represents the eight major Hawaiian islands of Hawai’i, Maui, Kaho‘olawe, Lāna‘i, Moloka’i, O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, and Ni‘ihau.

I'm not well-versed in Hawaiian history -- I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm just a dude who took Hawaiian Studies classes like any other Hawai‘i public schooler + an extra course in college. But I do know the flag came during the reign of Hawai‘i's first monarch, King Kamehameha I!

Sorry, I've completely derailed right here at King Kamehameha. The attack from Dragonball is named after the first Hawaiian king. It was suggested by Nachi Mikami, Akira Toriyama's wife. I emerge from my internet rabbit hole tired but enlightened.

As much as the flag is a legacy of a proud Pacific Island nation that commanded the respect of and recognition from the Western imperialist interests that wanted to subjugate it, yeah, it does absolutely have the Union Jack on it despite Hawai‘i never having been a part of Great Britain.
