I can't wait til the anime gets there, and especially the english dub. Brittney Karbowski is a hoot as Camie.

Random thought of the day: where the hell did Gigantomachia even come from? With all the other villains, we at least have a general idea as to who they were before they were villains, but we don't really have any clue as to where the hell All For One even found this guy.
And considering how dangerous this guy was, to the point he could naturally house multiple Quirks without risking his mental faculties, has been working to AFO for years it would seem, and is absolutely devoted to All For One as if he was the pricks attack dog rather than a person, I'm kinda wondering how All For One even found this freak of nature.

Hell, Force of Nature might be more accurate since he's pretty much a walking disaster whenever he goes full throttle and how hard it was to take the bastard down.

I keep thinking of Gigantomachia like he's Mongo from Blazing Saddles for some reason.

Unrelated to the discussion above, but on Camie's topic, did she really say "S-tier twink" and "d-word" (like the Japanese worde of these or this us the translator's choice of words to make her sound trendy to English readers)?

I don't think its to sound "trendy," its a way of adapting her way of speaking into English in a way that fits the character and maintains the spirit of the joke.

I recommend checking the official translation if you're that invested in getting this joke. This leak scan you read is really lazy about it, defaulting to far less obscure slang and for some reason cutting the notes that are the heart of the gag.

For comparison's sake:

Now to what you're actually for, a breakdown of Horikoshi's notes.

  • 1- カンイチ(kan'ichi): Short for 間一髪 (kan'ippatsu; close call, by a hair's breadth).
  • 2- ロート (Rohto): Rohto Pharmaceutical. Eyedrops. In this context, means a good sight for sore eyes, seeing something beautiful or precious.
  • 3- レンメン (ren-man): Romantically available (renai taishou) man.
  • 4- コる(koru): Verb form of 故 (ko; deceased). In this context, means to pass away. Probably.
  • 5- シャコタン(shakotan; car with lowered suspension): To lower a vehicle's height. I don't know either.

Wouldn't be the first character to do so. Osakabehime is an otaku who was known to act very cringey and use both Otaku related terminology and plenty of Gratuitous English. So the English version made it so that she uses Gratuitous Japanese and used a lot of cringey internet lingo, even having her outright say poggers at one point.

And when an animated version got a dub for her, her VA, Brittany Lauda, admitted to loving the cringe. And that includes her saying "Yamatekudastop".
Brittany Lauda: Thank you all for the love and cringe 💚 I had such a fun time voicing Osakabehime, especially switching between gremlin voice and cute voice 🥺 I hope I can lend her my voice again soon and I’m pumped for the art I’m having made of her for conventions 👌 I have a figure of her at my desk haha

By the way, fun fact, FGO's Okkie VA is the same as Himiko's so if you want to hear her being a dork this is the closest it gets.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.

For extra hilarity in terms of English voice actors:

  • Fat Gum's VA, Kyle Hebert, plays Paracelsus von Hohenheim and Lancelot du Lac... probably for the best I don't have a clip for the latter since his scene will require the Brain Bleach for the... "Dangerous Beast". [shudders]
  • Rody's VA, Ryan Colt Levy, plays Cu Chulainn (Prototype) and Arash Kamangir
  • Flect Turn's VA, Robbie Daymond, plays Merlin
  • Rody's sister Lala's VA, Emi Lo, plays Helena Blavatsky and Shuten Doji
  • The Masugaki Kids leader's VA, Brittany Lauda, plays Osakabehime and Elizabeth Bathory
  • Mirko's VA, Anairis Quinones, plays Queen Thot Medb
Can you imagine some of their MHA roles saying the things their Fate roles say?

Comun, This is very interesting, thanks. I was just wondering if the Japanese language had slang similar to the English ones, especially since the leak translators used recent internet lingo.


On another topic, regarding Shouto's character page. It has Ship Tease potholed in one of the examples referring to his relationship with Momo, and I asked in the dedicated thread for this stuff but I got no answer, so do y'all think there's ship tease between the two? I feel like it's a squint-and-you-will-see-it/barely-there kinda thing.

There's definitely something set up but it hasn't really been the focus for either of them since, I dunno, maybe right before Kamino?

I recall there's apparently some audio play CD or whatever that delves into it more.

Yeah, the drama CD from this video? It's not canon, though it can be mentioned since it's still part of the franchise, I guess.

I'll add it to the main page (it already mentions Uraraka and Deku's ship tease) and remove it from his character page, then.

Shouto does get Ship Tease with Momo around the Final Exams arc since he revealed that he was the one that casted his vote for her as Class President.

Yeah and that's the first and only really major moment where that happens. Like I said, there's a bit right before Kamino, but it's kind of small and subtle and more related to the plan to rescue Bakugou.

There's also the little "My not-girlfriend can beat up your not-girlfriend!" moment with Tetsutetsu in the Joint Training arc.

^ Lool, I like how you described it. This is the part the example talks about, but honestly, it's pretty weak. Even friends can think their other friends are badass and capable without romance being involved.
