The Viz translations always have some odd choices that don't necessarily mesh up with what the rest of the translations do, such as using Vegerot instead of Vegetto. (Which isn't necessarily wrong just different.)

It's not wrong, but it looks and sounds wrong and that's all that matters.

Like I said before I wouldn't be surprised if the game launches with the full Tournament of Power roster as a bit of a flex

I doubt it but we'll have a strong ToP representation for sure. I feel these are happening no matter what, beyond the confirmed characters/forms:
-U2: Ribrianne (normal, Super), Roasie (if only to complete the trio)
-U3: Catopesra (look I want him in okay? Can't imagine he'd get all his modes though, even for BT that's a lot for a minor character), Paparoni/Agnilasa
-U6: Cabba, Caulifla, Kale, Kefla (all base, SS, SS2), Frost (First, Third, Final, 100%)
-U7: Skipping this one, too unimportant
-U11: Jiren (Super Full Power), Toppo (GoD Mode)

It is absolutely wrong, but it's trying to do two wrongs to make a right so I understand why they went for it. They couldn't fix Kakarotto this late. Still, it's bad. Then again, so is "Vegito", English translations just can't get this name right.

Also this may as well be Dragon Ball, we have the opening for the Sand Land anime:

There's nothing to fix there. Kakarot is an entirely valid translation for it and significantly more accurate than Kakarotto. Carrot in Japanese is キャロット (Kyarotto). Kakarot is "カカロット." or (Kakarotto)

If you're trying to claim that it should be Kakarotto then you're also trying to claim it should be Carrotto.

Sand Land sure did make a bold choice to be released at the exact same time and platform as X-Men 97.
Maybe they were hoping people flooding onto D+ to watch XMen would notice the Dragonball art and check it out, but so far it just seems like the move only succeeded in getting itself massively overshadowed immediately.

I dunno about the comics but a lot of people have a ton of nostalgia for the 90s cartoon. If I had D+ I'd probably at least check out '97.

Unfortunately the Freeza saga is the last one with good cutscenes, it's almost all still pictures afterwards (unless they added some in an update).

According to the encyclopedia thing, I've only seen roughly 1/4 of the game's movies, though maybe the later ones are lamer.

The DLC seem cool from the one I've played (the world tournament one).

The comics are selling well for the current industry, the cartoon has garnered an enormous amount of nostalgic hype ever since it was initially announced, and even the weird movie people still wont shut up about whenever Marvel Studios will finally add the X-Men, or at least just Wolverine, to the MCU. So I'd say that despite Ike Pearlmutter's best efforts this past decade, a large percentage of people still care about the X-Men. Especially 90's era X-Men.

If Sand Land fails to make an impression it's not gonna be because of X-Men

The 90’s show is also notable for being the only X-Men cartoon that was allowed to finish without being cancelled prematurely (other attempts being Evolution and Wolverine & The X-Men)

Not blaming X-Men if it does fail, but pretty much any talk about it online is being completely drowned out by people talking about X-Men so far.

Isn't Disney+ infamous for being kinda poo poo about anime? Like they barely, if at all, advertise what they have and you have to go looking for it? From just taking a quick look, there isn't even an anime category, here in the UK it looks like it's all just under the Adult Animation category under Star alongside things like The Simpsons and Futurama.

I loaded up Disney+ this morning to watch this week's Bad Batch and I didn't even know that Sandland was on there, only saw it now by scrolling down to the New section and scrolling right a bunch, wasn't even on the first page.

In both cases they're arguably more accurate translations. (Except Majin to Djinn. Like yeah the joke with Buu is that he's a Ma-Djinn, but Djinn doesn't convey that either, you're just not going to get that pun and the M symbol is a pretty fuckin' prominent part of the whole design.)

In the case of Buu, it's because the joke is literally Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo and "Boo" is how it's written there. Same way that Viz uses Dabra instead if Dabura because the joke here is Abra Kadabra.

Buu looks cooler but like, the joke is that they're all named after magic words, if there's a 'correct' translation Boo is probably closer than Buu.

Seven for beauty that blossoms and dies


When Toriyama died I realised I'd never read the Manga, so I'm doing that now. The Viz translation does seem like rear end, but my brain is doing a pretty robust job of fixing names and terms for me as I go.

The very very beginning of the Viz translation (like before Raditz meets Goku) is bizarrely bad, I remember feeling like I was tripping when reading it for the first time. It evens out soon though, it's just a weird opening.
