Anyone bothered by the dub names in official English localizations of DB games?

Is anyone on this forum bothered by the Funimation dub names in official English localizations of Dragon Ball games you play? We're still seeing Funimation dub names like "Special Beam Cannon", "Destructo Disc", "Tri-Beam", "Frieza", etc. still being used in official English localizations of current Dragon Ball games, even if you play them with the Japanese character voices set. "Hercule" is another Funimation dub name, but the only current official English-language Dragon Ball games that still use that name are DBZ Dokkan Battle and DB Legends. Other current official English-language Dragon Ball games use the correct name "Mr. Satan" instead.

Does that make you feel like you want to import the original Japanese versions of Dragon Ball games and play those versions instead?

Yeah, it's pretty annoying, but not annoying to the point where I'm importing Japanese versions. I think some of the modern games have mods that replace dub names with the actual names, but I've never looked into using them myself.

I do get a bit annoyed by it when you have the subs for the Japanese version. I think it's because the fans who like the dub is way larger than people who like the sub.
