The Devil.

Look at her name. It's a clever attempt to hide the truth.

Point is, it's a name that uses the letters in Devil in a different order because Toriyama loves theme naming and her father is Mr. Satan.

And either the English localizers didn't notice or felt it was sufficiently different enough because they left her name completely unf*cked when they changed his to Hercule.

Being the child of Mr Satan, wouldn't she be the Antichrist?

Man, good thing I missed those last few pages!

Although, oddly, I didn't realise people had an issue with it until I saw Kaiser's tweet. I guess having the episode end off like that means we don't know as much as TFS did when writing it. I'm kind of disappointed Kaiser didn't acknowledge it MIGHT have been taken the wrong way. He's normally very open to that.

Ah, well. I guess we have wait until next episode to see how they resolve this.

But, yeah. Those Cell/Goku interactions make me really excited to see their fight. Cell's the first villain who completely understands and actually appreciates Goku for what he is. I really want to see how they play off each other.

[up] You know what the weird thing is? Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male is usually a major Berserk Button of mine, but the scene with Goku and Chi Chi... didn't really make me all that angry when I saw it. I think it's because I've seen TFS use the Rape as Comedy trope several times before (Krillin dreaming about getting raped by the fake Namekians, Bulma fantasizing about Vegeta raping her, and Popo literally calling himself "terrifying and a potential rapist" in the first episode of DBZ Kai Abridged), so it didn't come off as a double standard on their part.

That said, I absolutely understand why it made people upset. And I'm pleasantly surprised that the people who complained weren't rebuffed with some "LMAO male tears" meme.

Although oddly enough, Kaiser has said he actually really regrets Bulma's rape dream scene.

Popo literally calling himself "terrifying and a potential rapist" in the first episode of DBZ Kai Abridged

Which was, itself, referring to this exchange from their Make A Man Out Of You music video:

  • Krillin: I don't want to die a virgin!
  • Popo: Boy, you really need to watch just what you say!
  • Krillin: OH GOD

I found Vegeta saying he's disgusted by Trunks and Tenshinhan's literal humanity oddly hilarious. Probably would have been better if he said their literal and figurative humanity though. Or maybe that would have been too long.

The bulma having a rape dream of vegeta seems mild considering the fact saiyans could probably be compared to Vikings with the whole rape and pillaging. They just take your planet to be sold
