<p>In the various English versions of <em>Hunter x Hunter</em>, Kurapika shows his initial disrespect for Leorio in various ways:</p>

<p>1) 2011 sub: calls him "Leorio" instead of "Leorio-san"<br>
 2) 2011 dub: calls him "Leorio" instead of "Mister Leorio"<br>
 3) 1999 sub: calls him "Leorio" instead of "Mr. Leorio"<br>
 4) 1999 dub: calls him something like "Rewolio" instead of "Leorio" ( <a href="https://youtu.be/LaQEBndn-JQ?t=795" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youtu.be/LaQEBndn-JQ?t=795</a> )</p>

<p>This discussion takes place in episode 1 of 2011 and episode 3 of 1999.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure the disrespect is due to the way Leorio had been being rude to the Captain and Gon. Anyway, <strong>I'm most curious about #4.  What exact name is Kurapika using?</strong> It is hard to tell with no text.  Does the actual word mean anything in either English or Japanese?</p>
