Nice use of "Yumcha" for Yamcha (I don't know if you spelled it that way on accident, but that's hilarious), bad use of "Tién" for Tenshinhan. We don't ever see how Yamcha gets his scar, he just shows up at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai with them. So I think we're to assume he got them while training during that time skip. Tenshinhan gets his scar across his chest from Tao Pai Pai during their match at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai.

I Spelt it wrong By accident, but still fits well for comedic value (Its like close to 1 am here so my brain isnt functioning fully!)

Thank you for your reply! At least I know when Tién got his scars now thanks to you! I appreciate your Response!=)

Well either way, it is a good use of Yamcha's name pun. Just curious, but is there a reason you insist on using Tién for Tenshinhan?

Well it's Kind of simple. Basicaly Some people watch the show in Japanese and others In English. Some prefer dubs, some perfer subs. But In the end, no matter what way you enjoy Dragonball, it's your own personal choice to call the characters/places/abilitys by the Japanese or the English. I Don't like it when people get all Elitest and Protest "You're saying it wrong! That's not how it's said in Japanese, you know nothing blah blah blah, I'm so much more leet then you because I use Japanese Spelling, i'm a better fan!". I'm not saying it wrong, I'm saying it according to the version of Dragonball I enjoyed, which in my case was english. If people want to use the Japanese Names, thats alright, but to try and auto fix the way I spell it, I find a little Obnoxious. It's really about Preference I guess, and I don't like the idea of others forcing their own preference upon me. =)

Sorry if that was kind of long winded =D, but you get my point ^_^

Well, Viz's English translation of the manga calls him "Tenshinhan", so it's not like "Tien" is the default English/American spelling.

Anyway, if you want to get around the name filter without resorting to accent marks (how do you put those on, anyway?), just insert closed html tags into the name in question. For instance, write Ti<i></i>en, only with [ ] instead of < >. That way, the html tags will be invisible in your post, making it look like you've simply written the name.

I get your point, and I wasn't trying to be elitist (a word that gets used too often these days) or anything, I was just curious. It is sometimes interesting to see how people will justify things, and I assumed I'd get a short response, but I got more of a rant instead. So I'm assuming people have given you crap about this before on other forums, since this is only your fifth post, I doubt you'd have gotten crap on these forums already.

Anyway, I'm not getting elitist about this, just simply explaining where the name came from and why Mike auto-filters it. If you still want to use Tien, that's fine by me because most people will know who you're talking about anyway. So please don't get too defensive, because I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes here.

"Tien" is FUNimation's dub name for the character Tenshinhan. In the Japanese version of the series and the manga, Chaozu often refers to Tenshinhan as Ten, which is somewhat of a nickname. So to be creative, FUNimation simply added an 'i' to this nickname to create the name "Tien". But then they took a step further and added an 'i' to Tenshinhan, changing his name to "Tien Shinhan". So really, it's not so much a dub name, as simply misspelling a name. Basically, the only difference between the way you spell it and the way I spell it is the letter 'i'. I believe that is why Mike auto-filters this on the forums, because it's basically a pointless change. If you can write Tien, you can write Ten.

Oh no! I'm sorry! I didnt mean to give you the impression that I thought you were being Elitest! I have just dealt with that crap before, was just explaining! ^_^

This community seems really friendly so far, I like it here=D I was Recommended here by Scott Morgan who had a lot to do with the music from Dbz, thats how i found it, and no one has been elitest to me yet! So disregard it, was just talking about Prior expriences =)

You might want to change your avatar, it seems to be in an error state.

Also, you said you were told of Daizex by Scott Morgan and you were involved with DBZ somehow. What exactly did you do in your time with the series?

YouTube · Post by **Hujio** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 4:22 pm

I don't think he was involved with DBZ, Scott Morgan was involved with the music for the series.

SSJ2bardock · Post by **SSJ2bardock** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 4:27 pm

Oh, I misread his post it said "I was recomended here by Scott Morgan, who had a lot to do with DBZ". I thought he was saying that he was involved.

The fight's already on YouTube.

The scarring takes places at the end. Part two is linked to in the side menu.

Well, when it's called "Tein vs Mercenary Tao", no wonder you couldn't find it

I have a few of the dragonball dvd's, i have series 1, 2, 3 and i think 4? and then it skips forward and I have the end of the series with Piccolo and goku fighting, and chi chi's wedding and all that.

BTW, who ever removed my avatar, thank you! I will have to try and find a new android 17 one =/
