Videl Satan, since her dad is "Mr. Satan." no, her dad's real name is Mark. just Mark. Hercule Satan is his wrestling stage name, according to AT. his daughter wouldn't inherit his stage surname, since it isn't his legal surname. neither Mark nor Videl have a surname when introduced to the series, and videl doesn't gain one until she marries gohan.

Internet Explorer Favourite Manga Dragon Ball	ObsessiveFanGirl Jan 18 2012, 05:29 AM This is probably a silly topic, but one thing that kind of bugs me (I don't know why) is when DBZ dub purists rant on and on about how much they love the English dub (and some of them even denounce the Japanese version), and then they go off and use Japanese terms, sometimes without even realizing it. So I've compiled a list of what I think are the top terms dub fans use that are actually from the Japanese version. On a side note, I don't see this type of thing too often on this forum. Usually the dub purists here stick with dub terms and the Japanese fans stick with Japanese terms, but I have seen these frequently on general forums where people don't seem to know what they're talking about, or in real life. Youtube is also a major contributer. Get it right, dubbers! 1. SSJ (a.k.a. Super Saiya-jin): Almost everyone uses this one. Come on, admit it. 2. Son Goku: Another one that I see often. He is only referred to as "Goku" in the English dub, so why dub purists put that "Son" at the beginning is beyond me. 3. RoSaT (a.k.a. Room of Spirit and Time): This is one that a lot of people don't seem to realize. In the English dub, it is known as the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, so why is this used by dub purists? Ehhhh, who knows. 4. Freeza/Furiza: I put this one low on the list because I can understand why people can get confused on the spelling. I myself switch between using "Frieza" and "Freeza" quite frequently. 5. Kienzan: Believe it or not, I have heard this one coming from a dub fan's mouth. Can someone tell me why? I probably forgot some, but those are the ones that came to mind immediately. Forgive me. I'm not a dub purist, but then I'm not a Japanese version purist either. I use terms from both versions, and from the manga. 1. "SSJ" is something most people use, but I prefer to say "SSjin" instead. Just sounds way more awesome in my opinion. 2. I don't ever really include Goku's full name whenever I refer to him. It seems a little unnecessary. It's like calling people by their full names. Easier to say Goku. 3. In the manga it is referred to as "Room of Spirit and Time" and "Chamber of Spirit and Time" by Piccolo. So really, "RoSaT" and "CoSaT" could be used, lol. I prefer to use RoSaT though simply because it sounds a bit better in acronym form. Plus, it also sounds better than HTC, or Hyperbolic Time Chamber. That name is a little ridiculous. "Hyperbolic"? LOL 4. I used to say Frieza, but I started reading the manga, and Freeza just looked better. So I started using that instead. Plus, as was said, it goes better with the whole Ice family theme. Cold, Cooler, and Freeza. 5. Kienzan sounds a lot better than "Destructo Disc", and that's mainly why I prefer to use it. Bottom line is people, like me for instance, sometimes prefer to mix terms because they feel they look or sound better. I grew up watching the english dub on Toonami. RONIN WARRIORS FTW!!! Anybody watch that? Anyway, lol, as I started to get more and more into DBZ I read the manga, and like I explained above, some terms I just liked better than others, so I used them instead. But I won't fully convert to using Japanese terms because they seem long-winded and unnecessary.

Chrome Favourite Manga Dragonball	I've only watched dub, but I use a lot of the Japanese games because: 1. I own all of the Viz manga. 2. My cousin and I started looking up DB stuff online before it hit America; i.e., we read about SSJ4 before anyone even fought Frieza. So, a lot of the terms we had to go off of were only in Japanese because the American terms had not come out yet. We were calling that yellow haired power-up "Super Saiyajin;" it wasn't even called "Super Saiyan" yet. Edited by J-Smack, Jan 21 2012, 06:03 PM.
	darkwarrior has anyone ever stopped to think that maybe Trunks just bought his sword somewhere or something? There's nothing really special about it. Y2J Well it did manage to slice Frieza into a shishkebab so it must've been packing more power than your average blade. Hell even Zelda's sword couldn't pull off that ****. ObsessiveFanGirl I don't believe in power levels after the Frieza Saga. Now, there's an idea.

Posts: 11,612 Group: Legend Member #88 Joined: January 16, 2005	It never bothers me very much. I do use SSJ more than I do SS, just because it used to bother people. Then I actually watched the Japanese Verisons and it didn't matter much to me. Not saying you don't have the right for it to bug you but I mean as a longtime fan as I'm sure everyone is, we should really all be able to recognize and accept sub and dub translations and use whatever as long as it's consistent. In general I think it's just the SSJ=SS that bothers people the most. Use what you like. I didn't know what RoSaT was for the longest time when I joined. Making a room a chamber that had meaning just sounded cool so I stuck with the dub on that as well. I grew up with it so it's hard to change

Anyway, I was introduced to the series through the edited Funi dub, but I later fell in love with the original Japanese version, and can't watch the dub. I sometimes find myself using a hybrid between Japanese and English DBZ terms, and I think it's because of how I was introduced to the show. This also carries over to my RPG, some of the terms in our rule book are from the original Japanese, and some are from the English version, the same is true of the spellings. I find my self using Saiyan more than the Saiya-jjin, as the latter doesn't sound as natural to me. The longer I'm a fan, however, the more I use Japanese terminology, I guess I'll be using Saiya-jinn by the year 2014. XD
