Whether you’re a big fan of anime or not, many characters identify the name Oliver the Atom as the name of the protagonist of the famous Super Champions series, but what you might not know is that the famous voice actor has revealed the peculiar origin of the name. this character.
The story begins on Franco Escamilla’s program “Amos del Universo”, the last edition of which featured none other than veteran actor and dubbing director Eduardo “Lalo” Garza as a guest. It was here that Lalo explained the origin of the name “Oliver Atom” (and this you can learn from minute 1:10:18).
The main character in Japanese is called Tsubasa Oozora and his first adaptation in Italy decided to rename him Oliver. Now the Mexican dubbing actor suggests that Oliver’s last name “Atom” refers to a reverse contraction of the word “speck”.
We were well aware that other characters’ translations were inspired by their voice actors’ names, but without a doubt, this version of the Oliver Atom’s origin has turned the drivers (and probably the fandom) on its head.
