Interesting. Although I thought Count Dante was his larger-than-life myth and the name. Dante being a connection to Satan, derived from Dante's Inferno, which describes the nine levels of hell.
Dante has no connection to Satan at all. Dante is a regular mortal man who gets taken on a tour of hell (and purgatory and heaven, but nobody remembers those two).
I meant Satan as in Mr. Satan actually. =)

Yeah, they'll probably just use Hercule in the broadcast dub and edit out all signs that say "Satan".


Besides, pronouncing it "Sah-tan" just comes out plain weird.

Yeah, "Mr. Satin" doesn't really strike me as a fitting name for a big, burly, tough wrestler guy.

Nothing special about an ad skin. ANN does it all the time.

Expect a review to appear there soon. Probably by Theron Martin.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Most likely, yes. I wonder if this means they'll be recast in future games aswell.

Too bad about Brice Armstrong retiring, and Butta most likely being vocied by a new actor. Never had a real problem with Ghurd, so I guess I'm a little excited for new Reacoom and Jheese.

Oh man, hopefully that means a new Recoome. I can literally be fine with every dub term thus far so long as Recoome doesn't sound like a stereotypical mentally challenged kid. A non Australian Jheese is a plus too.

The Ginyu Force needed almost as much serious rethinking cast- and voice-wise as Freeza. Hopefully if the former isn't getting improved all that much, then the latter will make up for it.

Sabat's certainly making it sound as if he's recast them all. I have to wonder if this applies to Ghurd, too (Bill Townsley did Ghurd and Kyui).
