I've really stopped paying attention to this thread

You can stop making suggestions ^^;;

Note how EX cleverly evades the ''Bebi/Baby'' question, as to not having to admit a mistake.

Yep, he dodged that very cleverly. With skills like that, he should be a politician.

So we allow the word "fuck", but we censor names? What are we, Kill Bill?

Jerseymilk · Post by **Jerseymilk** » Fri Apr 16, 2004 11:55 pm

Well, no character has that name do they?

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Sat Apr 17, 2004 12:05 am

What, "Bill" or "Fuck"?

Jerseymilk · Post by **Jerseymilk** » Sat Apr 17, 2004 12:24 am

Both actually.

Are we talking Kill Bill vol. 2? The only name censored in volume 1 is The Bride's name, but that was intentional since we were only supposed to know her as "the Bride".

Yes, we know.

Darn, we should've had "Buruma" and "Vegita" (and equally annoying "Vejita") fixed when this thread began...Imagine the headaches I could've been spared.

What's wrong with "Vegita"?

Deus ex Machina · Post by **Deus ex Machina** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 1:45 am

I just hate it...it's completly incorrect, and a throw back to the 90's low quality subs. It should just be dropped finally.

Jerseymilk · Post by **Jerseymilk** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 2:10 am

I always spell it that way and I don't think it so incorrect. I think it looks nicer too. Before Funimation stepped in, his name was often written that way. Just my opinion though, I guess.

I'd have to a agree Deus ex. Vegita, Vejita, Bejita, Bejiita, Bijita, and Bijiita are all different spellings I've seen and they're all annoying, at least IMO.

Well, I don't like busting people for just having their own opinions, but the "Vegeta" spelling just makes more sence, since his name is a pun for "Vegetable". I think people just started spelling it the other way because they wanted to stand out, or they thought it was somehow more 'authentic'.

I know that Mike and Julian have probably stopped reading this, but a bit on the spellings was going into the character guides, wasn't it? Well, howabout adding images from where the name was shown in Romanji in the manga and anime?

I do agree with DEM here. "Vegeta" always made more sense to me because:

1/ It sounds more like that than "Vegita" (in both English and Japanese)
2/ "Vegeta" works better in highlighting the pun.
3/ FUNi and Viz both spell it "Vegeta". And I know that may not sound like much of a reason, but I do like things to be consistent. Xyex pointed out all the various spellings the Prince Of the Saiyans gets, and it does get a bit annoying. Everytime I read it I have a little mental blip. And since the closest thing we have to official English spellings go for "Vegeta", AND the closest thing we have to official Japanese spellings (in the form of the subtitles on the DVDs" also go for "Vegeta", I'd say...Vegeta.

Plus, wouldn't you also have to say "Vegito"?

Jerseymilk · Post by **Jerseymilk** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 6:17 pm

I know that you're both right.

I just am used to spelling it that way, the same with Buruma. It's force of habit I'm afraid. You'll just have to put up with silly me.

Xyex · Post by **Xyex** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 6:24 pm

Except Vegito IS the offical FUNi spelling of it. How the hell they got that from Vegeta and their butchered Kakarot is beyond me.

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 7:31 pm

How is "Kakarot" butchered?
