Piccolo, Son Goten and Trunks are all shocked by Gohan's words not because he said "Hi, nice day" to Boo but "You retard".

Uhh...in the dub, Gohan's insult to Buu came at the beginning in the next episode. It'd be better to do a little more research.

That does not matter, he should've cussed Boo this exact moment.

Edit: Calling him "Boo Boo" is not an offensive insult nor even an insult to begin with.

Gohan insulted Majin Boo. It's why he got mad.

It's more or less a cutsey way of saying his name though. Like in the Japanese version when they insult full grown men by putting "chan" at the end of their name. Plus it doubles as a pun. Y'know when you'd trip as a kid and get a "boo boo", a little insignificant injury? I personally don't see what the big deal is here, he made a fool out of Boo and Boo got pissed off. If stuff like the specific insult being changed irks you to this extent stay faaaaaaar away from the VIZ manga!

Don't get me wrong I think there's an insane amount of silly changes in this dub and I guess it's a matter of taste where you draw the line but I find this moment largely unremarkable.

I'm actually glad he didn't call Boo a retard in the dubs... fool/idiot would be a much better translation if they were going to use it.

They couldn't either way, retard's a too powerful word to use on a dub so it'd likely be idiot or stupid.

Are you saying you know better than Mr.Simmons?

No, that's just my opinion.

Holy shit! Ocean Gohan sounds like Amuro!

Son Gohan's English dub voice in Raging Blast 2 says "You idiot" they should've used this dialogue for this scene in DBZ instead.

But well, to be fair, it really was a nice day (in meteorology terms), after all
