Not sure I follow the question here. I don't remember the scene, so there's probably dialog that goes along with whatever you're asking.

The character's name is spelled as アックマン or akkuman while the text on the screen there is (I think?) アックマった or akkumatta (is that a combo of katakana and hiragana?). There's almost certainly a pun in there.

A combination of Akuma (devil) and shimatta (oops), maybe? What's the context of the scene?

I remember this scene. In my dub, didn't make any sense what he said.
I rewatched in japanese some years ago, but I forgot what he said. :P

The "a" is elongated in the on-screen text as well. The hirigana "tta" is an informal verb ending (but one that's frequently used in verb-as-exclamations like "shimatta"). I'd love to know what the pun was here too.

EDIT --

It's not a phonetic riff on "Ah, komatta"? (I'm in trouble), is it?

It says aakumatta and what cipher says makes much sense. That or hakuna matata.

That would indeed be my guess.
