Jimmy Firecracker

I doubt Funimation is even aware of the "Mark" thing.

I think that they're aware of it, but are going to use (the H-word) anyway, because that name is more well known to fans.

I don't think they aware it. Because that information is from the 2009 Japanese guide book and I doubt FUNi would ever read one of them.

I don't know if they whole book has been translated, but the part concerning Mr. Satan's real name certainly has. They may have caught wind of it through their forums or YouTube.

I don't think a lot people outside this forum aware of it. So the chances are really small...

Jimmy Firecracker sounds awesome though.

He is one bamf announcer.

I've been to other DB forums. They know about it.

Why dose everyone keep typing the H word? whats so wrong about the word Hercule? EDIT oh the filter. But whats so wrong about Hercule?

[obiwan23s]

They're still spelling Freeza with an "I" on any official Kai materials to come out, so I would think for Nicktoons they'll use the H-word. On the home release, it'll be Mr. Satan, as it always has.

Mike...and I'm sure many other Sub fans of the Show hate "the H word" becuase that is a Dub name only. In Japan it's only Mr. Satan and when it came to the US apparently they took issue with a crown chanting "SATAN!". So somehow they landed on the H word.

I still call him H in conversations but in this forum I go with Mr. Satan. It's a bit more to type but oh well.

The same with J.F. I don't know if Mike and Sub fans take offense with it.....or know the name exists at all, but character names were changed for censorship.

@Budogenkai : I totally agree. He is one of the only character from the series with a last name and it is a perfect combination for a name to stick out, it most definitely did with me.

Because of the obnoxious and obtrusive word filter.

Whine whine whine, winge winge winge.
Anyway, I never heard of the term "Jimmy Firecracker", was it in Ocean's dub?
If not, this is the first time I've ever heard the term.

Me too. I watched the Funi dub of the Cell Games back when it first aired and don't remember that name at all.

[Mewzard]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who watched the Cell Games dubbed by Funi and not recalling the name.

Was it a promotional description? In game bio? Placeholder name? Joke at a con?

It's an actual dub name and they also used it in Budokai 1.

Go to the End of episode 174 [The Puzzle of General Tao] on disc 2 pf the brick sets, and Jimmy Firecracker calls himself Jimmy Firecracker at the beginning of the Cell Games broadcast. That's also the scene from the Budokai 1 cutscenes.

Side thought: Good lawd those were amazing cutscenes, how could every game since get them wrong?

Some folks like not having to see the names Frie-za and Her-cule everywhere.

It's the internet. People winge about things. Get used to it.

But, when it's the fact of discussing actual dub names vs original, it can get annoying to have to alter letters with italics/bolt/whatever just to get a point across. I hate the I in Freeza as much as the next guy, but it doesn't make the world filter any less annoying.

And I sold my orange bricks a while back, so I can't check that scene...anyone got a clip of him saying his name?

[LeprikanGT]

I don't have sound on my computer else I would have found a link. Can anyone help me out with a clip ?

[TripleRach]

Let's not turn this thread into another word filter debate.

As for "Jimmy Firecracker," if a lot of fans don't even remember that name (including me, and I saw those dub episodes multiple times), I doubt that FUNimation will either. Not to mention the fact that they're translating the scripts from scratch, and mostly trying to stay away from old alterations like that. This is clearly not some widespread dubism that they might feel compelled to keep.

[LeprikanGT]

Why did you put " " around his name?

I was just pointing out that YES, that is what Funimation calls him and since they seem to be picking and choosing what they do and don't change and at what times to and not to change them, it was a possibility for it to be in again.

If it was enough for a game company to put it into their game, I'm sure Funi remembers them doing so.

If you don't remember it, go back and check it out, it is there. You can't use "I don't remember" as an excuse to dismis something that was included.
