Dub Title Thread

I couldn't decide which thread should prevail - opened earlier vs. more active - so I combined them. It seems like Kiba automatically became the OP because of their post being made earlier. I hope you can live with this arrangement^^ Of course, like in the old thread, everyone's still entitled to submit a new title in case they're the first to find out about it.

On topic, I like the first two titles. Despite the lack of a pun, they're easy to memorize and roll of the tongue easily :]

Edit: Stickied!

I would be amazed if they do, lets all pray to Arceus it happens.

If not, then I just hope the ENG Opening is good at the very least. Just don't be disappointed when the JPN opening theme isn't kept.

Also is impossible Ted Lewis will return to be Giovanni and James? Maybe even Lillis can return as Jessie. I mean she came back in BD but it would have been weird to let her go back to Jessie then so maybe now?

I just hope the TRio's current VA can make themselves sound serious and villainous like the JPN version.

Bring back Veronica Taylor for Ash! C'mon TPCi, Sarah's acting sucks!

Kinda irrelevant to what im going to say but Sarah's voicing isn't as terrible as it used to be. Also, for the Black & White Series, they should use a male voice actor.... why is Ash the only one to get a female VA? Not sexist or anything but Veronica did make Ash sound like a guy though...haha

Anyways, I sort of formatted the first post, might get some changes here & there but yeah, just post the Dub Title, Air Date and source and I'll add them.

Edit: Also, as for the puns, isn't "In the Shadow of _____" some sort of saying or close to a saying...=/ I am probably wrong though but still glad they left out puns for these titles.

Or maybe "A Critical Moment For Sandile!" You know, shorten the Japanese title.

Oh of course, I would never ask that they use a Japanese song as an opener, I mean can you imagine how awful it would be if some cartoon that's for kids were to have a song in it in some other language? *cough* Toy Story 3 *cough* Anyway joking aside I'm not really so picky as to insist that dubs leave the songs in Japanese like they do in Naruto or FMA, I would be just as ok with having the songs dubbed into English versions like the ones for One Piece (the FUNimation dub), DBZ Kai, or Yu Yu Hakusho heck it can't be difficult, the Japanese openings are almost all sung by Ash's Japanese voice, so they can just put Sarah up to a mic and tell her to sing this and bam done. If Sarah can't sing (I imagine her having a nice singing voice for some reason), call Vic Mignogna and ask him to sing it, can't go wrong there.

Even so, if they do make a different ENG opening, it better be good.

Could all of our wishes for a more accurate dub with Japanese BGM and less puns be coming true?

I don't know about more JPN music (though I hope) but I do expect less puns. But if there must be puns, they must be funny or have cheesy appeal.

I just want to know how they'll handle the Opening. If they're going to use to JPN opening sequence, then they'll have to pull some string with CN.

I wouldn't get your hopes too up so should the first two episodes of the dub be better than you expect, you'll be overjoyed.

We might not even get an Opening for this 1-hour special... well thats what I think.
