Another Name Censored in American DBZ

According to Saiyanz Rage, FUNimation has confirmed plans to alter the name of Vegeta’s and Bulma’s daughter Bra to “Bulla” in the English dub of Dragonball Z. The name change (actually closer to a very loose translation) avoids criticisms of sexism or the inclusion of inappropriate sexual references in a children’s cartoon, but also eliminates part of the running joke with Bulma’s family being named after clothes: Bulma as in “bloomers”; Professor Briefs; Trunks, as in shorts, underwear or swim trunks; and Bra.
