Oh nothing at all. I like Southern accents, I just meant in terms of using it so much as an equivalent for an Osaka accent in anime dubs. It's just ridiculous watching something like Peacemaker Kurogane for example, which takes place in feudal Japan and seeing a samurai talking like he's from Texas. >>

I couldn't picture Goku with a southern accent in the English version.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!
