Re: Most memorable BS dub lines / names
I think Whiskers the Wonder Cat has to be the winner for BS Dub Name.
As for line, I nominate Krillin in the last episode of GT (FUNi dub): "We had to find a rock with a turtle on its back."
I mentioned it before, and it still bugs the crap out of me. It makes no sense. It's just barely grammatically sound. It might be at home in a Malaysian dub, but it's in the FUNimation dub and performed by a native English speaker.

"Spirit Ball" which comes from Sokidan.
Like a lot of the names for attacks it's really lame and generic. I would've listed more but all the ones I can think of off the top of my head have already been taken.

Re: Most memorable BS dub lines / names
I also can't get the "Spirit Bomb". What's the problem with "Genki-Dama"?
Re: Most memorable BS dub lines / names
There aren't enough words in the entire fucking English language to address this. Whatever idea I thought I was going to contribute to this thread has been blown away along with the majority of my brains.SSJ2FutureGohan wrote:I.. can't.. even.. what.?fadeddreams5 wrote:Perfect Cell (Ocean dub) fighting Vegeta - It's best to just watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56ZA0dza3JY

Back in the 90s there was still the mindset on some things of "more Japanese, less American kids will like". And spirit bomb does sound kinda cool.Dyno wrote:I also can't get the "Spirit Bomb". What's the problem with "Genki-Dama"?
Re: Most memorable BS dub lines / names
Odd, to say the least. My dub uses "Genki-Dama" and it is a pretty damn well received term.

Re: Most memorable BS dub lines / names
I do like the sound of "Spirit Bomb" more, and it still works just fine as a translated/adapted name. I do tend to use "Genki-Dama" mostly on this forum, though.
As for dub lines that I find memorable... "I'm the Bean Daddy!" https://youtu.be/I_lXRSApM0Q?t=69

Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Re: Most memorable BS dub lines / names
IMO:
Kienzan > Destructo Disc
Taioken < Solar Flare
Makankōsappō = Special Beam Cannon (the former is tricky to pronounce and spell for kids; the latter sounds lame)
Kikoho < Tri-Beam (love hearing Tien yell, "Tri-Beam...HA!")
Genki Dama < Spirit Bomb
Sokidan > Spirit Ball (the latter is very confusing and redundant, considering we already have Spirit Bomb).
Rōgafūfūken < Wolf Fang Fist
Kienzan > Destructo Disc

"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Re: Most memorable BS dub lines / names
In the English Funi dub? Basically anything Piccolo says, Daimao or Junior.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR4oWIkND2Q
Goku: "You missed all my vital organs!"
Piccolo:"*ALL OF THEM?! *grunts*"
"I admit, the move I made wasn't very smart, but I wanted to help Goku out, and then BOOM! Vegeta got in my way"
Kuririn: Man, that android's toast!
Piccolo; Yeah...more like BURNT TOAST.
Yup, Piccolo's the bomb diggity. As for stuff like Speedydubs and Big Green, now those are different beasts altogether.
Also, some dub names bug me a lot. For instance, changing Seripa into "F a s h a." Why?

Might need to check out the Ocean dub sometime just for the amped up ridiculousness, *raised on Funi dub, which is also ridiculous*

Goku against Kid Buu in the Westwood dub:
"He's tunneling under the ground. He's got to come up for air sometime".
Goku right before going Oozaru in Blue Water GT against Baby:
"The earth. The place where I was born and grew up."
Goku right before he tries to self-destruct to kill Syn Shenron in Blue Water GT:
"This is the move that defeated Majin Buu!"
Goku in Blue Water GT on the final episode during the flashback sequence where it shows him returning to earth for the 25th Tournament:
"Haha see ya!"

Oh, Cell, you're just full of surprises after reaching perfection, even your screams are pitch-perfect!

(Funi Dub) Freeza's line to Goku: "All right, big guy. Whatever turns you on."
Nothing can top that one.

Re: Most memorable BS dub lines / names
Oh and i forgot to add this one. Goku's Kamehameha becomes "Kayo-Ken" for no reason at all. I sincerly hope whoever purposefully mistranslated that doesn't work for FUNi anymore
