Tap-eon
or Tape-eon
To pronounce Tapion....
You say Tape-then-eon
Just a useless lesson to point out.
Said so by Cartoon Network. K then?

Yeah, I always thought it was Tap-eon, although I havent seen the movie in jp, I'd probably say it like that if I had heard it.
Go figure, damn dubbing companies. Although I must say that whoever is dubbing Bleach has done good so far.

While I've always thought of it at Tap-ee-on, Tape-on would sort of make sense given Toriyama's long-standing history of giving people retarded names based on mundane objects (as a really obvious example, take Gohan's classmates Sharpener (blantant) and Erasa (Eraser, less obvious)).

Tape-eon. It's got a lot to do with japanese pronunctiation and stuff.

"Tape-eon" is not the correct pronunciation in japanese.
Tap-ee-on is right.

Who cares about Japanese pronunciation?
Last I checked very few of the characters are of Japanese origin IC.
Nothing at all against it, but... it's hardly important. To each their own.

No one said they cared. I was correcting something.

Tap-e-on is the correct way.
I am guessing that they said Tape-e-on so Americans and children could easily pronounce it?
