What were their names?

Post by VenomSymbiote » Thu Apr 09, 2009 7:12 am

I was recently watching the dub version of the Cooler DBZ movie (the number escapes me), and due to the way the actors portray Cooler's henchmen, thier names I couldn't hear very well. I was wondering, besides Salza, what are thier dub/Japanese names, and what are their names a pun on?

The orange fishy guy is Neize, and the green muscular guy is Dore.

Dore's name is derived from Saradore salad dressing, and Neize's is "mayonnaise".

For whatever reason, FUNimation changed Neize's name to Neiz.

Sauser/Salza/Thouser's name actually comes from Thousand Island Dressing.

I think it's a safe guess that Toriyama was eating some kind of salad when he thought up the names for these guys.

I don't think Toriyama named them, though he did do their character designs. Coola at least was named by the movie staff and not Toriyama.
