As a fan of the Japanese version, I don't fell very comfortable using terms that are exclusive to the Funimation dub. However, I've come up with a sort of solution to my issue. Would it be okay if I were to use the term I'm familliar with and then the dub term in parentheses? For example:

Kame-Sennin ("Master Roshi")
The Great Elder ("Guru")
Kaio ("King Kai")
Makankosappo ("Special Beam Cannon")
etc.

It doesn't really matter except when you're RPing with other people.

I think the majority of people on this site are familar with the terms anyway. I knew all of those other then Guru, and that I would probably have worked out since, well, the Grand Elder of Namek is Guru :D

Only time I say no is when detailing you actions in the battle posts. In that case, I would use the name of the tech as it is on the site, even if its a dodge translation :D
