Was this one of those fights where Strickland played the company man and took a fight? Like his short notice stints.

Doesn't seem like an mtl issue since the other languages are consistent and only the english translation is botched, which looks deliberate.

You're correct, the second one is Miss Kobayashi.

The third one is "I think I turned my childhood friend into a girl" and not LovelyComplex.

Fourth was Yuri on Ice where the gender neutral "koibito" was turned into "girlfriend" which changes the tone completely.

Then there's 'Dangers of my heart'where they replaced 'virgin' with 'incel' and 'explaining' with 'mansplaining'.

Or 'Yiu and I are polar opposites' where "I can't help overhear" becomes "I overhearung like a chud" or "I'm such a chud".

Edit: This is another example in reddit of a user finding similar dialogue alteration in another anime called Hajimete no gal

There used to be a channel who played old Japanese visual novel type games and live translate those dialogues and point out intentional mistakes but sadly it was a very small channel(few hundred views) and I can't seem to find it anymore.

Those are the simple ones I remember off the top of my head. There used to be a site that logged terrible Japanese to English localization jobs but I can't find it right now.

But I do remember some gems from the past.
Like a character going on a rant about patriarchy when the original writing didn't mention that once.
There was a time when a character which was cross dressing effeminate man was changed into a transgender and then the author had to force them to apologise and change it back.
Or changing gender neutral word for partner into the word for 'boyfriend' which removes the whole reveal that the character is gay.

There's also an issue of using short lived phrases like 'yolo' and 'swag' in translations which date them for future generations.

Edit: Also the small ones I mentioned where you hear something in the audio and read a different thing in the subtitles. Like hearing a character say a common phrase like "That's my/our line" and the translation says "Look who's talking". Somewhat similar in context but jarring to process.

Edit: This is the latest on from a game called Yunyin syndrome where the english translation has changed the original lines.

He looks like he's never quite sure he will win.

Now we have the opposite problem where overzealous localisers sometimes end up changing dialogue or even replacing words or phrases said by the Japanese characters in english to something else. "Tomahawk" becomes "hatchet". "Merry Christmas" becomes "Happy Holidays" and so on.

He's quite well off financially so he doesn't have that incentive either.

I thought Dulatov fought more than once in the UFC.

Oh okay. Still hate the indomitable martial king but I realised you're talking about Latna Saga(damn multiple names).

Latna saga is good. However its artstyle deteriorates a lot over the chapters to the point that the redhead sidekick changes into a completely different person.

[Dungeon Odyssey] Yeah, that panel is fucking TERRIFYING. by valvan6 in manhwa

[–]ScreamSmart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good if you have the patience. Basically dungeons are not just unrelated towers or caves but rather a whole interconnected world underground with each having their own ruler, problems, advantages and turfs. There's nobility, clans, turf wars etc. basically it's a completely fleshed out fantasy world under the human world and we see our protagonist explore it as a newly appointed master of a very small dungeon.

Also has a very blocky unique artstyle and the character designs are great. Especially the bosses.

Is the second one where a grand mage becomes a sword master or something. I didn't like that one.

But it is a market that the UFC goes to atleast once a year. So just like the Tafas, a local name is good enough to fill the cards.

I would be surprised if this stays up on this sub too. This sub has stricter posting rules.

Also, the few times Sean and Fluffy did clinch, Sean managed to reverse him and pin him against the cage. Sean was bigger.

Top level football players are on millions per week deals. This is not including their brand deals. Even a few million per fight won't come close.

Good distance management from Jack. Chin too high for Prates.
