This is the correct pronounciation by going off the intended Japanese meaning. Saiyans are referred to as “Saiya-jin” in Japan, pretty much meaning Saiya People. Saiya is a syllable rearrangement of “Yasai”, meaning vegetable. So Saiyan-jin are essentially vegetable people, hence the various puns in the character’s names (e.g. KaKAROT, Vegeta[ble], etc.).
So, unintentionally, this video pronounces it right which doubles further as another pun since Goku’s hair colour is pretty much close to “cyan”.
When Americans have been mispronouncing something for decades
maybe the dude is a DBZ fan and made that pun intentionally, did no one think of that
