DragonBall Z Abridged

[Noah]

How Whis is exactly considered an antagonist/villain? I know many people speculated that prior BoG but in-movie he was more like a servant until Beerus makes the revelation that he's actually his teacher.

Guilt by Association? It wasn't like he was trying to prevent Beers from blowing up any planets.

Okay, why are you deliberately using an outdated translation when you know you're removing one of the puns for his name?

How is Beers an outdated translation and who does it remove the pun? It's not like he called him Bills or anything.

It gets rid of the virus pun. How the fuck "Bills" is still a thing, I don't know.

It's a double pun.

Beer and Virus.

Beer and Virus.

I think "Beerus" is stupid so I call him "Beers". I also say "Turles" to "Tullece", "Chaozu" to "Chiatzu," "Tenshinhan" to "Tien Shin Han" and if I don't call him "Mark", I call Satan "Hercule." It's what I prefer.

[Fionordequester]

Anyone else predicting Black & Zamasu being at No. 1? It's where I'd have em', personally.

I miss the word filter

The reason they named him after the word Virus was because in the original draft, he was the one to spread evil among the Saiyans, right? If so, is that part still relevant? Mind you, I'm not saying that we should all switch from Beerus to Beers, but as far as I know, it is a valid translation. Heck, I just checked my copy of Battle of Gods and the subtitles spell his name Beers, so that's something.
Bills of course is a misguided translation that completely misses the pun and is basically the same thing as calling Kuririn "Krillin" or Tullece "Turles". Or calling Blooma "Bulma", but that one is Toriyama's fault.

They've already covered Super's antagonists in another video, and aside from Beerus (who technically appeared in Dragon Ball Z first anyways), none of the Super cast is going to be making the list. They say that since Super is still airing, it's too soon to call.

To be fair, I can't imagine anyone really being able to pronounce "Kuririn" in America, and Krillin is at least phonetically close to KOO-REE-REEN (the way "Kuririn" is pronounced, except slurred a little more). And Season 3 was bad enough as it was; just imagine listening to those same actors constantly yelling "KER-REH-REN" the same way they yelled "KAY-OH-KEN" !!

It's really not all that hard to pronounce.

It's really not all that hard to pronounce.

Not when you sound it out one vowel at a time. But when you're trying to throw it into a whole sentence, while still trying to deliver emotional lines in a convincing way? You're gonna stumble over it if you're not someone versed in Japanese. I don't think changing that particular name was a bad thing.

I use it in normal conversation and I'm not versed in Japanese at all, besides what I pick up from anime. If you want an example of how it is used in regular speech, try MistareFusion's (otherwise known as Gaffer Tape around here) Dragon Ball Dissection videos, which even has its own thread. Actually, just watch his videos regardless, because every Dragon Ball fan should watch them as they are wonderful.

Anyways, to get back on topic, I'm betting the order of the next four villains will look something like this:
[spoiler]4. Cell
3. Piccolo Daimao
2. Vegeta
1. Freeza[/spoiler]

[Lord Beerus]

I'm honestly delighted that Beerus (and Whis) were able to crack into the top five.

[Neo-Makaiōshin]

Coming on Number #4 is.....
[spoiler]Cell[/spoiler]

[FoolsGil]

Coming on Number #4 is.....
[spoiler]Cell[/spoiler]

Yeah that sounds about right. He's good, but not top 3 good.

[dbzfan7]

Cell is good, it's just the moment he hits Perfection he falls flat. His imperfections were what made his personality shine and led him to be more interesting. Once he's perfect he trades personality for the coolest villain design I think we've ever had which is a shame.

[Lord Beerus]

Cell's Imperfect incarnation was hands-down the most entertaining of the character. He was cunning, unpredictable and acted like he was straight out of a horror movie.
