I think it's based on the voice actor's preferences. According to Tiger Kitty they're a mixed group of sub and dub preferences.

Hmm, Saiga using an official name is better than when Saiga referred to Tien as "Tenshithax", at least.

But no, srsly, I did when I realized the problem was his fanboys and not him.

Okay, that would've been hilarious. Sounds like something Davis would call Kari's love interest.

So according to that page, "Becky" is a clever insult for people named Bob.

Okay.

I'm pretty sure that in Tien's case, is that Tien is just a Nickname and Tenshinhan is when they're showing respect to the character. Goku did that to show respect after he saw him dead. Chaozu, Gohan, and King kai are only being respectful/polite(or in K.K.'s case just going with what he knows)

Also wasn't the Kienzan only called Destructo disk once? Then he changed it after piccolo called it lame, every future use it was called kienzan.

[up]Weird.

Becky is the female equivalent of Bob.

(Or, more specifically, Becky is short for Rebecca, which is the Distaff Counterpart to Robert, which can be shortened to Bob)

Given that several jokes within the show itself are based on the differences in naming between the English and Japanese versions, I see no problem with Saiga using whichever he pleases.

"Masansapatku. Massoso...massan...oh, to hell with it. SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!!!"

And then in Kai, just shouting random syllables while firing it. XD

Piccolo trying to pronounce the real name of the Special Beam Cannon amuses me, especially his garbled mess of syllables in Kai Abridged.

I just realized something. Frieza's not dead! He's got two extra lives!

There was a lot of commenting about this on the last page, but I can point out two ways that could be resolved.

1) The 1-Ups did in fact give Freeza 2 extra lives, for a toal of 3. He used up one after getting hit with the Spirit Bomb, 1 after Namek blew, and 1 when Trunks killed him.

2) The 1-Ups are actually him getting access to new transformations. This is kinda jokingly supported by the stinger to that episode, where Freeza headbutts a block Mario style while in his 1st form, gets a 1-Up mushroom, then transforms into his second form. So, Freeza wouldn't have had access to his 3rd and 4th forms without those mushrooms.

Or, y'know, Rule of Funny.

Maybe his extra lives will come up if they do Movie 12.

I look forward to seeing how they deal with Buu when he starts absorbing people. Or hell, even before that- Super and Fat Buu are both just Pure Buu with the Kais absorbed, and Super Buu is specifically Pure Buu/Evil Buu with Good Buu absorbed.

Will there be a eight-way conversation in Buuhan's head during the Vegetto fight...?
