[up] No kidding that is in no way even remotely correct. I mean when you drink a few beers you gotta go take a whiz.

Well, I mean, it isn't just the episode breakdowns.

Like, he insisted on calling the dragon that Gohan found in one of the movies "Hiyadragon" (or however you spell that), even though he outright admitted he hated the thing.

Like, admittedly four year olds like Gohan might not have much imagination.

There are probably kids who named their dog "Dog".

Someone has to play the elitist of the crew.

However in that specific case even Funi used that name in their subs so it's just another Lunch Launch situation.

...Xenoverse Voice 8 reference.

So, yes, in a sense, but the "real" Taka isn't hung up on it, and it was mentioned that Lani and Kaiser were in the booth rewriting the lines, so.

Anyway.

Like, Voice 8 insists on using the literal names of the Ginyu Force when using their moves.

One last thing on the subject of names, when a character has an actual name, as in something that wasn't just made up for the series, I usually at least try to go with original pronunciation but I don't fault myself or anyone else for not getting that exactly right. Which is why I don't care about the "incorrect" English pronunciation of Goku. Which is why I can't really get irritated by Kaiser or people who insist on not going by Dub names even though that's what I'm used to.

But for things that are obviously supposed to be English puns or are just things the writer made up on the spot and clearly not Japanese I don't worry about it. Which is why I get a bit annoyed by people who go "It's not 'Kakarot' or 'Vegeta' it's 'Kakarotto' and 'Bejita'." But those are just my standards on the subject.

...I mean, if I ever met Kaiser in person and he used "Bills" I might slap him.

It was originally a pun on "Virus" in the first draft of the story but then Toriyama forgot and made it a pun about "Beer" instead.

"Bills" has nothing to do with either of those.

...I mean, I honestly wouldn't mind if they called Goku and Vegeta's Potara fusion "Vegerot".

I don't terribly care about "Kakarotto" but anyone who insists on using "Bejita" can join the people who use "Bills."

[up] I highly doubt that he would due to that name coming from a "Blind Idiot" Translation.

I mean, the thing is that "Vegetto" only works if Goku's Saiyan name is "Kakarotto".

If it's "Kakarot" instead. You need to make it more clear for the English-speaking audience where the two parts of the name are coming from.

And Vegerot, as dumb as it sounds, and it sounds incredibly dumb, does actually work.

[up] That's precisely why I wouldn't care if someone decided to use that name. Vegerot is the stupidest name I've ever heard.

I don't get why everyone hates Vegerot. Even the hardcore japanese Kanzenshuu guys hate Vegerot. Yeah, it sounds stupid, but it makes more sense in english than Vegito.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

When I was young I just assumed Vegetto was Vegeta + Go(ku).

I don't have a problem with Vegerot. I don't see how it sounds any stupider than Vegetto. Actually, it sounds better to me.

Vegerot probably could have grown on me if I was introduced to it earlier. But I just can't quite get used to it, Vegetto sounds better to me.

It was definitely a good way to make the connection obvious, though. I do sometimes wonder if my usage of Vegetto means I should probably use Kakarotto as well.

But the inconsistency doesn't matter in conversation.

I think Gogeta is a MUCH better name than all the variations of Vegetto and just should be the official name for all Goku-Vegeta fusions.

#16773: Dec 16th 2015 at 3:11:43 AM

I prefer Vegetto because like with Gotenks, the fusee's names are linked by an overlapping letter.

Vegeta + Kakarotto

Goten + Trunks

[up][up][up]Same thing here. Vegeku, Gotrunks and Shibito.

Might be because "Kakarot" wasn't a thing (Vegeta always called him Songoku, like everybody else).

I think Gogeta is a MUCH better name than all the variations of Vegetto and just should be the official name for all Goku-Vegeta fusions.

My, perhaps unpopular, opinion is Potara fusion should have never been a thing since Goku and Vegeta immediately defused from the supposed "permanent" fusion anyway after getting absorbed by Buu. Gogeta would have made more sense in that scenario since it was already pre-established that that version of fusion has a time-limit.
