1 | '''Basic Trope''': A character has different genders in different places the work was released (often due to a mistranslation). |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob's dog is female in English, but is male in Japanese. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Bob's dog is a GirlyGirl in English, but is a [[TheBear big, hairy, muscular]] male in Japanese. |
5 | ** ''Every character'' is the other gender in at least one regional version. |
6 | ** In the English dub, Bob's LoveInterest is ''digitally edited'' to look female. |
7 | * '''Downplayed''': |
8 | ** Bob's dog is a tomboy in English, but is a {{Bishonen}} in Japanese. |
9 | ** Bob's dog is a one-time character. |
10 | ** Alex, who is a transgender man, is changed to a cisgender man in a foreign language dub. |
11 | * '''Justified''': Not applicable. This trope requires the work to be translated into at least one other language, making an InUniverse explanation impossible. |
12 | * '''Inverted''': |
13 | ** Bob''s dog is a male in all languages, but is [[TestosteronePoisoning comically masculine in Japan]]. |
14 | * '''Subverted''': |
15 | ** Cue UnsettlingGenderReveal to Bob's dog in English. His gender remains male in Japanese, though |
16 | ** The SamusIsAGirl Trope occurs in Japanese, but not in English. |
17 | * '''Double Subverted''': But suddenly, Bob's dog was taken to the vet. In the version with the gender reveal that opposed the audience's thoughts, the dog went under Gender-changing Surgery offscreen (which wasn't [[LampshadeHanging mentioned]] at all). |
18 | * '''Parodied''': One episode switches languages halfway through, [[MindScrew and the dog inexplicably flips to the other gender]]. |
19 | * '''Zig Zagged''': |
20 | ** See Double Subverted. After that, it was revealed that the gender-changing surgery failed. |
21 | ** Due to an InconsistentDub, the dog is often referred to as several different genders. |
22 | * '''Averted''': |
23 | ** Bob's dog is female in the original Japanese version, and is depicted squatting to pee in an important scene to make it impossible to believably change her sex. |
24 | ** Every character's gender is the same in all dubs of the show. |
25 | * '''Enforced''': |
26 | ** One episode featuring Bob's dog revealed that its love was a male hound. So the makers {{Bowdlerized}} the HoYay. |
27 | ** Bob's dog was [[ViewerGenderConfusion seen with feminine qualities]] in Japanese. |
28 | ** The work is being translated into a language where "dog" is a male noun. |
29 | ** The dub is staying TruerToTheText on at least that front. |
30 | ** The character is nonbinary and the language is one that doesn't have gender-neutral pronouns. |

32 | -->(Subbed) "Be strong, little guy"\ |
33 | (Dubbed) "Who's a good girl?" |
34 | * '''Invoked''': Not applicable (this trope is beyond the control of the characters). |

36 | * '''Defied''': Not applicable (this trope is beyond the control of the characters). |
37 | * '''Discussed''': |
38 | -->(Subbed) "So, you're a boy? [[BreakingTheFourthWall I hope you must be female in the dub]]."\ |
