One thing that's sort of amusing about the DBZ DVD sets I have (waiting for season four to arrive, which is Garlic Jr. and Trunks) is that they never change the opening or closing titles, so all the way through you've got opening credits with Vegeta and Nappa as the main villains ending on a group shot with Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu and Roshi, then the closing credits are entirely focused on Gohan and have all these shots from Dragon Ball with Launch, Yajirobe, Oolong and Puar all featured prominently.

The opening gets updated for the Trunks arc, but the ending remains the same for the first 200 episodes of the series. Ah, the time before we got a new ending theme every 10 to 20 episodes.

They can be edited now much more easily than they used to be. Matching existing ones still happens when possible but there's a lot of "just say it naturally and we'll fix the lipflaps because they're really weird for english sentence structure" stuff now, which did not used to be a thing.

Yeah, it should be noted that while they're not pefect, Team Four Star does this stuff pretty trivially for every episode they do and most of the time that just means more significant edits rather than just slight timing adjustments.

Later on he channels into his soul form to become a dinosaur with a bandana and punched a space satellite so it doesn't send beams of light that will brainwash the people of earth.

Near the end of the show he had a duel with a guy named Mr. T who uses people's darkness against them. This archaeologist had none, so he was sent back to his previous life where he was a tyranosaurus rex (and it was the happiest moment of his life) but then he lived the moment when he ate a triceratops that ended up becoming the fossil that's in his leg and thus the ghost of that and all the other dinosaurs he ate started devouring his soul.

I loving love Gx sometimes.

They'd just be vaguely American type names that can fit the same lipflaps as the Japanese ones. The lipflaps are the most important part of translating anime in the 90s, more than having things be similar at all.

Ash and Gary got their start in the anime. In the games their names are assigned by the player.

Those are two of the preselectable names from the games, though. The very first options other than Red/Blue. I don't know if we actually know which came first in this particular situation though, I'm not a Pokemon anime expert

They have default canonical names of Red and Green in the games, but yeah. Or Blue, I guess, in the US.

This is confirmed when they appear in later games, like Gold/Silver and Sun/Moon.

What you need to look at are the lesser characters not in the games, like Masamune being renamed Morrison (and voiced by the equivalent Gokus, too). You know, the fat samurai that chased a rolling sub downhill.

They likely won't but would be pretty awesome if they used the Abridged voices for those.

Or hell maybe they are and want it to be a surprise which is why they didn't put the real names.

US dubs being retarded and kiddifying scripts/editing shows in an absurd and embarassing way does not excuse the DBZ dub at all. It's still terrible regardless of the cirumstanes of other dubs at the time.

I am not familiar with the new FUNimation dub. While I don't doubt that the script got better, and I appreciate them for trying, as long as they kept the same godawful, grating, amateurish voice actors for Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, Bulma, Gohan and other main characters that appear in almost every episode, it's still poo poo.
