"Art of the Doppleganger" is what the Japanese hears? That is totally wrong. For the unenlightened:
Kage = Shadow
Bu = Split
shin = Body
(Bushin = clone)
jutsu = skill/art
I'd go with Kage Bushin no Jutsu anytime over the Doppleganger shit.
The guy was a moron AND a loser.
I would even prefer something like "Shadow Clone Skill" to Doppleganger. I hope the dub will take a different approach than the manga has.
@assertn: for the record, they just call it a "replication". Though "wannabe doppleganger" would definitely make it more interesting.
Also, it's really in the Japanese culture to incorporate different langauges into their own (engrish anyone?). I don't really know the extent that this happens in America though.
