So, I looked up Elder Kai's training in Xenoverse, and I think I need to see Dumplin in the "Defeat Yourself" mission.

Villainous Dumplin would be amazing.

Like, goddamn.

Vegeta[numbers] was not a very good voice actor.

Masako X was old Roshi, but still.

Vegeta3986 wasn't...terrible as Yamcha. But old Abridged!Yamcha had no personality, anyway.

I didn't care much for old Yamcha's exaggerated accent.

Old Yamcha was portrayed as The Ace, then he died and became his regular Butt-Monkey self.

The problem in Season 1 was it felt like They Just Didn't Care, especially with minor characters. "So...what should we do with Tien and Chiaotzu? Um...I dunno, let's make a bunch of gay jokes! And we'll make Yamcha a surfer dude! It makes sense because, he plays baseball!"

They've definitely improved a lot since then.

Vegeta[numbers] was not a very good voice actor.

Vegeta3986 was also one of the writers during the period, so I'm sensing a pattern. tongue

And I think he was one of the ones from those two movies Lani and Masako X did in that something Chicken group pre-TFS.

... Why would they change Vegeto's name? Sure, it's a combination of Vegeta and Kakarotto so it doesn't fight the rest of the English translation but still.

That's the only real reason I had. I mean, I guess they could go for the "That doesn't make sense" gag, but it's so obvious.

If they could, they'd probably poke at the spelling like they did with Freeza (the official English spelling is Vegito).

The Viz translation name.

But it just sounds so stupid....

But it makes more sense and fits the way other things were translated better.

I mean, with Vegito, it's like fans that insist on Bills instead of Beerus.

The pun must be maintained.

Veget would be more consistent and even sillier sounding.

They might joke about it.

"So, Vegeta and Kakarot...I guess you can call me Vegerot."

"...actually, that sounds stupid. Hm...what's a cool name for me? How about...Vegito! Vegito, that's it!"

The Portuguese version just called him "Vegeku". I'm not sure why Toriyama himself didn't go with that option.

That's the main reason why I prefer the Gogeta transformation. It's a combination of both names, and not just Vegeta with an O on the end.

It's probably Vegeta insisting on Goku using his Saiyan name or something. It also might have something to do with distancing Vegetto from Gogeta.

Vegetto is a combination of both names. It just combines where there is an overlap - Vegeta and Kakarotto in the common t) Gotenks does the same thing with the common n.

I do think making it different from Gogeta was the main point.

KRILLIN PLAYS: ALIEN ISOLATION – 27 –

...Honestly, at this point I'm just waiting for Krillin's reaction to the halfway point of Chapter 14.

I feel it is going to be glorious.

EDIT: Oh damn, Lani is running into all the glitches it seems. sad

...Man, it's gonna take awhile.

"Vegeku" would never happen. Vegeta's voice saying even one syllable of "Goku" would be enough to end the fusion and probably destroy reality as we know it.

I have a message from another time...
