!!"Subs vs. Dubs" provides examples of:
* AdaptationDisplacement: Discussed InUniverse when the mastermind behind the events of "Subs vs. Dubs" laments how many anime fans (subber ''or'' dubber) don't bother to read the original manga.



* EstablishingSeriesMoment: The episode starts with police officer Joe chasing down a perp at the docks. The perp threatens to explode the cargo container full of hostages. Instead of a regular gun, Joe holds up a ''Anime/PsychoPass'' merchandise toy gun, spouting trivia as he does, and manages to beat the perp anyway. Then it is revealed that the "hostages" where all just a bunch of body pillow merchandise. This establishes that the setting and characters treat the anime fandom like its SeriousBusiness (which itself is done for comedy) while also playing to traditional anime and cop-show tropes.
* EvilIsHammy: One sign that he's going to be a one episode character is that Bob Dugnut - later revealed to be the culprit - spends all of his screen-time mugging.

Used to refer to a female {{Yakuza}} gang member.[[/labelnote]] is and Joe point to an explanation above them. Later, when Bob Dugnut was revealed to be the culprit, she gives a long and wordy sentence that translates to "No...!"
