If Nicktoons used different Episode titles for Kai

Post by matt0044 » Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:40 pm

Suppose Nicktoons found the Japanese Exciting Episode Titles (see TV Tropes) odd for a show airing in America and asked FUNimation if their broadcast version could use different titles while the uncut used the original ones. If FUNi said yes, what new titles for each episode would you make? It's not that I mind the Japanese titles but they're very odd for an show airing in America. Hell, they're just plain weird and spoilerific.

Here are mine:

Episode 1: Prologue To Battle.
Episode 2: Secret Of The Saiyans.
Episode 3: Desperate Mesures.
Episode 4: Day In The Dead.
Episode 5: Gohan Goes Bananas.
Episode 6: Time Flies By.
Episode 7: A Race Against Time.
Episode 8: The Summoning of Shenlong.
Episode 9: The Terrifying Saibamen.
Episode 10: Nappa's Rampage.
Episode 11: A Risky Gambit.
Episode 12: Goku's Furious Counterattack.
Episode 13: The Saiyan Prince Steps Up.

Have fun.

Hahahahah, you bumped your own thread cause there were no replies? :lol:

Anyway, eghhh, I wouldn't WANT them to use other titles; they did really well with them for Kai. Doing this would add to the bad titles they made for the three original series, and since Kai's dub is supposed to be faithful to the Japanese version, it's clear they wouldn't alter the titles.

But I have one that could work and remind us of a certain song taken out of the dub:

Episode 83: News of the Cell Games
So mondo lame.

Please don't bump threads just to ask for replies. It's unfortunate when people don't reply to a thread or answer a question, but more often than not it's because people just don't have an answer or reply to give.

Yeah, I was desparate.

And I don't mind keeping the original titles in at all but I wonder what'd happen if NT found the titles jarring and asked if they could be changed for their broadcast. Hell, what about Toonzai?
