"Tenkaichi Budokai" From Official English Sources?

Post by JustAlex1997 » Tue Feb 25, 2020 3:54 pm

In an old Jakks Pacific commercial for their Dragon Ball toys (apparently from 2004), the term "Tenkaichi Budokai stadium" is used. With the exception of subtitles, has this ever been used by other official English sources?

The commercial:

No. I'm referring specifically to the tournament itself.

Then no it was always “World Martial Arts Tournament” in the English dub.

They did reference the Japanese name in an episode title for Dragon Ball.

Dont forget Budokai Tenkaichi was written on the signs in the edited broadcast of Kai.

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

Pretty sure that’s in all versions. There were parts where they just have Budokai Tenkaichi written in English
