Line #6 PlayingWith/ShesAManInJapan


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.
31	* '''Lampshaded''':
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).
35	* '''Exploited''': In Japanese, a female dog was used as bait. In English, this dog was male.
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]]."\
39	(Dubbed) "You'd expect her to be female? She's male in the sub!"
40	* '''Conversed''': "I've heard that Bob's dog is male in Japanese."
41	* '''Implied''':
42	** Bob's dog is [[TheGhost mentioned but never shown]].
43	** Bob's dog has an AmbiguousGender in the Japanese version.
44	* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': The GenderFlip was intentional.
45	* '''Played For Laughs''': In Japanese, Bob's dog wears a hat with the symbol "♂" in it. For the English dub, this symbol was digitally edited to look like the symbol "♀".
