In the various English versions of _Hunter x Hunter_ , Kurapika shows his
initial disrespect for Leorio in various ways:

1) 2011 sub: calls him "Leorio" instead of "Leorio-san"  
2) 2011 dub: calls him "Leorio" instead of "Mister Leorio"  
3) 1999 sub: calls him "Leorio" instead of "Mr. Leorio"  
4) 1999 dub: calls him something like "Rewolio" instead of "Leorio" (

This discussion takes place in episode 1 of 2011 and episode 3 of 1999.

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

Kurapika's initial disrespect for Leorio, "Rewolio"


**What exact name is Kurapika using?** For me I hear Rioleo, which coincides
with the official English translation of the manga. [![enter image description

**Does the actual word mean anything in either English or Japanese?** I have
not seen the original raws for the particular chapter or scene but the English
does not mean anything since it just looks like two parts of his name switched
in order (Leo-rio switched to Rio-leo) which was probably his way of showing
disrespect by getting the name wrong.
