And if I remember correctly, Hercule was Mr. Satan prior to translation into English. Wonder why that didn't survive the dub?

His name in the original Japanese version media is Mister Satan. It was changed to Hercule in the TV version of FUNimation's English dub and Viz Media English version of the manga, however he retains his name "Mister Satan" in the uncut English Dub on the DVDs. In the U.S. edition of Shonen Jump it is explained that Hercule is the real name of the character while Mr. Satan was his stage name though no such explanation was present in the original. This change is due to Judeo-Christian references being removed for the sensitivities of Western audiences when anime is edited for American television.
