** Mr. Satan to Hercule (though this was done as an edit, as American broadcast standards for kids' shows generally frown on religious references; the home video releases keep Mr. Satan)

** Mr. Satan to Hercule (though this Hercule. [[{{Bowdlerise}} This was done as an edit, edit]], as American broadcast standards for kids' shows generally frown on religious references; the references. The home video releases keep Mr. Satan)Satan, but make "Hercule" his first name. The Viz manga release also calls him Hercule but adds in a line stating that he was "formerly known as the wrestler Mr. Satan". The character recaps in that release do also outright state that he is known as Mr. Satan in Japan.
*** As a result of this, Satan City is renamed "Hercule City" in the edited dub and "Herculopolis" in the manga.
