The games always tend to make up names for attacks that didn't have one in the series. Big Tree Cannon,Dragon Throw,Kid Goku's ultimate attack and Ginyu's "Milky Cannon" come to mind immediately. They really had to have had a name since they were capsules in the past and you'd have to know what you were picking.

Edit: I'm not all too sure what "days of the week" has to do with Raditz though...my guess is he's such a boring,undeveloped character they just gave him a random naming shtick and called it a day,

In fact I think that in itself is a little videogame exclusive thing I love. Sometimes the made up attack names were pretty interesting and unique.

The mini-games during the loading screens for the Sparking series are debatably more fun than the actual games. I forget which one it was, but I liked the Yamcha Spirit Ball one where you move the ball of ki to break bricks. Then there's the Saibaimen one, which I thiiiiink is Budokai 3, where they pop up all over the screen. My PS2 is a fat 2001 PS2 that skips and crashes all the time, so I once was able to fill the entire screen with 'em.

That's Sparking Neo/Budokai Tenkaichi 2.
