Perhaps one of, if not the most overused line in localized Japanese games. For those unaware, it's a translation of the pronoun Temē which is a very offensive way of addressing someone. Unfortunately it's been heard so much in localized Japanese games it's lost some of its original effect and seems almost cliche' now, undermining just how offensive it's original connotation is supposed to be. Problem is, what makes a good substitute for it? And one that can fit in a T-rated game?

It wasn't even directed at me and it made me sad.

Dastard was used in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. I remember back when I first played it me and my brother were reciting the lines, and our sister was rather shocked when we got to that one.

Beorc: I never said it didn't. I mean something in place that's offensive, but would still be alright for a t-rated game.

Wasn't it in Rekka no Ken too? Or was that just "craven cur"?

Dastard is actually a real word. It's noun form of "dastardly"

From playing Blaz Blue, it seems like you can say whatever you want however much you want as long as you don't drop an F-bomb, otherwise instant M.

Which is hilarious considering teenagers likely hear "Fuck" many, many times in a single day.

@ Beorc: Sacred Stones was where I got dastard from, and I agree with Lemurian: It is a wonderfully underused word~ waii
