It's somehow Friday again, which means it's time to travel to the past... This time around, we're looking at the voice selection menus in the "Budokai Tenkaichi" series and one particularly odd line. This one's a journey — stick around for the ending thoughts. 🔗 www.kanzenshuu.com/2026/08/21/b...

Man Budokai Tenkaichi/Sparking was such a goated series for me. My friend and I used to play for hours and we'd come up with the most insane matches to give him a handicap (Kid Goku vs Broly). Fascinating to hear about the translation behind it.

Thank you for this, it's always nice to see comparisons Regarding the damage the English dub does, I'd also like to add that most non English translations for games (and Daima more recently) are based on the English translation, so we all have to suffer those changes as well

The Budokai Tenkaichi 2 replacement soundtrack sounds like elevator music to me. But some people seem to like it a fair bit.
