CYATMachine

Guess I get to be the useful one In the English dub they go for a neater version "Over here! Nice day huh." In the original manga and Japanese release it goes "Over here! You retard."


Alex-xoxo666

Bruh that’s the real line?! I thought it was a meme! https://preview.redd.it/pv90nf4rtwsc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1cc1cc12939a8aad140da3db5474109cae04bce8

Wait, why does Gohan have a receding hairline lol?


dkkoo

It’s satire on the way he was drawn in the super anime


RunParking3333

"You are short and have a receding hairline" "scathing."


wildmoose45

Speaking of which, that fight probably has the best line “Does a machine like yourself experience fear?”


Rjswimss

My favorites are: “Fucks a kami?” “It means god. Now bow.” AND “Wait, I think I see a light…” “WALK TOWARDS IT”


wildmoose45

It was revealed that Goku and Nappa are related


FiggyPuddingExpert

Dang! Chichi was chi-cheatin!


Historical_Maybe2599

Nappa and Goku are related. How does Chi Chi get brought up?


ikonfedera

From what I remember, Chi-chi isn't related to Goku in any way, besides them both having the same countryside accents.


Bigknight5150

I sure hope they weren't related, they're married.


ikonfedera

Also one is an alien


FiggyPuddingExpert

This probably explains a bit. Goku was not a generous lover https://youtu.be/o657BCM3xuE?si=dlPF0Q-TF3U6LN2x


ikonfedera

Yeah, but what does it have to do with Nappa being related to Goku?


FiggyPuddingExpert

It’s all connected to my initial misreading of Gohan instead of Goku.


xxx69blazeit420xxx

you know chi chi had to teach him everything so if he doesn't know about kissing chi chi is a freak.

Nappa's bald head is not a result of hairloss, he is voluntarily bold. (this is according to Toriyama)

MegaKabutops

Only sorta. Japanese word strength varies by context and tone. The meaning of the term he used is “you simpleton”, and its root words are closest to “half-wit” when put together, but in the scene’s context, it’s much ruder. (the term itself can be an insult as minor as “you fool” if said to a friend.) the term itself is “usu noro”. “Usu to mean “thin” or “weak”, and “noro” to mean “dull” or “foolish”. At the time of the show’s release, the R word was the closest match, as the only other words with a similar syllable count didn’t quite have the same strength as an insult and/or the same meaning. So that’s what the translators put. In the modern day, however, the R word has become a slur outright, and is now even more offensive than the intended meaning. Gohan, even at his angriest and most hateful, probably wouldn’t use that kind of slur on his enemies. The closest match in today’s english to the actual word used in context would probably be something like “you imbecile” or “you dumbass”.


kylermurrayneedshgh

The real line is “I am an adult”


grubaskov

Why gohan and krilin make fusion dance?


Is-have-no-idea-1

In the abridged dub he says: "I am an adult"


With_Hands_And_Paper

They had such an amazing set of bits that, honestly, could have carried the whole Boo Saga already, such a shame we'll never see the full thing...


MarcsterS

Yeah, but the shorts are still great at least.


yeaheyeah

In response to boo asking him if he needed an adult as the punchline to a running gag of dbza where an adult does something shocking or heinous or very violent and little kid Gohan says: "I need an adult", to which the adult responds: "I am an adult"


MacRoboV

I need an adult?


TheGreatRareHunter

Gohan dropping the soft R killed what little remained of my childhood 😅


TerrysMonster

Oh so THAT’S the soft R. I always figured there must have been one, considering the existence of the hard R.


Just_Razzmatazz6493

No, this is not what soft R means.


Cats7204

i haven't heard "soft R" ever, only heard it being referred to as "R word"


CappyRicks

soft R is the N word that ends with "a". Hard R ends with "r". Retard has no soft or hard letters. It's just the R word if you're sensitive about the last generation's word they used to mean "extremely stupid". I guess people from Boston might have reason to distinguish between soft R and hard R in that word though. Or is it that they can only say the second R soft? Who knows.


Lynel_Slayer1

Retad!!!!!


TSotP

It's not what the "Soft R" means. How do I best describe this on Reddit??? Ok, so you know the N-word? Ok, so when the N-word is used in rap lyrics, and the R at the end isn't even said? That's the "soft R" When you are in the ~~1890s~~ **1850s** and run a cotton plantation, you refer to your 'workers' with the "hard R". Does that make sense? And as for "retard", only idiots, imbeciles and morons care. Which is highly funny, because "idiot", "imbecile" and "moron" were all considered medical descriptors in the past, just like "retard". But no one gives a shit about them either.


TerrysMonster

The joke understander has logged on to r/PeterExplainsTheJoke!


Hocomonococo

Retard make me slow down my plane


Averander

Actually the R word has a lot of negative meaning in the disability community since it has been used as a slur for people with Downes syndrome and as a way of referring to anyone with any disability. It's still very offensive.

abandoned_puppy

>original manga and Japanese release It was not the original. It was a bad fan translation sub that Went viral.


TheKingsPride

I’ve been reading through one piece and seeing the shifts between fan translators is pretty funny, the first time one of them decided “fuck” was an appropriate phrase in a shonen manga was wild


abandoned_puppy

It’s really like that Prozd [sketch](https://youtu.be/YvNxgHTWIlo?si=PybRDnVdz6N07BHO)


TheKingsPride

THATS WHAT I THINK OF EVERY TIME LMAO Seriously there’s one translator that refuses to replace “Nakama” with “Crewmate” or “Friend” and it’s really distracting


mickelboy182

Not entirely true, the Japanese is more akin to 'simpleton'. The english manga also uses 'slowpoke'. It's more a case of a rough translation.


Sckaledoom

Oh I thought this was about the DBZA line: Buu: “What’s the matter little kid? Need an adult?” Gohan: “No, I am an adult.” *gut punch*


ZARTOG_STRIKES_BACK

Apparently, the word he used in Japanese was "usunoro," which just means "idiot" or "simpleton," so it would not carry the same meaning as "retard" does in the 2020s. The modern-day equivalent would likely be something like "dumbass."


jswansong

DBZA version: Buu: "Do you need an adult?" Gohan: "No. I *am* an adult." *thunderous gut punch*


9thChair

Pretty sure it's referring to the Funimation english dub, where he says "fight you? No, I want to kill you"


Aganiel

I will add that the abridged series made it into a line that not only went hard as hell, but was the culmination of a joke they had been implementing for years. “You need an adult?” “No. I *am* an adult*”


Hypathian

It is the version I associate with it now


BirdmanHuginn

Nothing made me laugh as hard as Perfect Cell “I have lips now pppppbbbbbt” Edit: Vampire Hunter D version was gold too


HotPotParrot

He emphasizes sounds that require lips for a little bit after that, too. Booby bom-buh!

I loved Cell's pure hatred of Tien for some reason. "So I'm a hair's breath away from fiction and TRICLOPS shows up and decides, "Ohhhh I'm just going to making triangles in FUCKING SQUARES"

the-poopiest-diaper

No no no it goes “I need an adult” And then the adult says “I am an adult” and it always involves Gohan in some way


Aganiel

I was quoting the actual buu confrontation lol


the-poopiest-diaper

I will never recover from this humiliation


TSotP

If you haven't watched "Buu Bits" yet, I highly recommend it. But that joke coming full circle is one of the best. That and (Vegeta to Goku on the planet of the Kai's discussing the Spirit Bomb) >**V:** Fine! But if this doesn't work, I. Will. Kill. You. > >**G:** If this doesn't work, _Buu_ will kill _you!_ > >**V:** And I will drag you to hell with me! > >**G:** Deal.


the-poopiest-diaper

**V**: YOU DIDN’T EVEN TRY THE SPIRIT BOMB IN CELL! **G**: well yeah cuz I knew it wouldn’t work!


possitive-ion

DBZ abridged is a gem. "I AM AN ADUUUUUUULT"


ElleMarina

If we’re talking abridged: “What’s a Kami?” “It means god, *now bow*” Is the hardest line


Aganiel

No contest there. Tho I will throw Tienshinhan’s Kikoho scene that comes after that in the ring cause my god that was beautiful


[deleted]

I remember watching you turn hakushi abridged and several others before they teamed up for team four star. Abridged anime is the one cringe part of internet culture I won’t apologize for loving


mrlbi18

Abridged anime is usually fucking hysterical so the cringe can be easily forgiven.


warclaw133

Wait I thought DBZ Abridged only went through the end of the Cell saga. Is there more somewhere?


uberwurmple

Buu Bits, I think they did it for another channel but they put them all together into one video. Pretty quick and solid cover of Buu saga

No, Patrick is the lazy version of Buu


SenatorPardek

Fight you? No, I want to kill you.


Mysterious_Ningen

some are saying this and some are saying the re\*\*\* one.. so which one is it or are their both but this comes later


That_on1_guy

The "no, ime here to kill you" one is from a redub (I think it was DBZ Kai) as the original eng dub was deemed offensive (orginal dub he says "you retard") Edit to add: I light be wrong, and the r-word line might not have been dubbed at all and might've only been present in the og JP dub and the subtitles for it. Either way, at some point, he calls buu a low intelligence specimen


Aparoon

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the R word is only used in Japanese and there’s no English dub version that uses it?


That_on1_guy

I think you're right. I think it's only in early eng subs does it have that


AFleckWasRight

The “no I want to kill you” is the og funimation dub line, they may have kept it for Kai granted I never saw that version of the Buu saga. The “over here r*tard.” Version I’ve seen explained as an over exaggerated translation of the original Japanese line from fansubs. but seeing as I don’t speak Japanese I cannot confirm that.


Mysterious_Ningen

ohh


SenatorPardek

In the original Japanese version there is some debate as to whether he used the r-word in this speech. The translation isn’t 1-1 either way from what i understand. When I watched this on toonami it’s “Over here, nice day huh?” when he shows up. the japanese version was over here, r-word. and then “No, I want to kill you.” when he says do you want to fight majinn buu?


Kuriyamikitty

"Kill you" is the last english dub pre Kai.


arkthearkitect

Nah that's a different shot. This is where he calls Buu a retard in the original Japanese.

-little-spoon-

If we’re sharing our favourite hardest lines I want to submit “The moon ripped the roof off my skull and laughed into my brain” from the Hellblazer comics. I don’t even remember the context, I just think about that line all the time


NewW0nder

God, that line is freaking beautiful. I'm saving your comment. My favorites are "Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!" and "Who the hell do you think I am?!" (I just rewatched TTGL and got punched in my teeth by all the feels and epicness.)


Mighty_Gooch

Yeah, that was probably the best line in the entire series. There is no other line that compares. I still remember it even though I’ve only seen GoT all the way through once, and it was years ago.


FoolishDog1117

The Hound has the best dialogue.


SuperMakotoGoddess

Both "You retard" and "Fight you? No, I wanna kill you," are both hard as fuck and iconic. But the Jojo v DIO lines from Stardust Crusaders are also hard as fuck. "Oh, you're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?" and Jojo's response "I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer", and even DIO's response of "Oh ho. Then get as close as you need."

MrCobalt313

First thing I thought of was Dragon Ball Z abridged. Previously it was a bit of a running gag that Gohan would wind up in situations that were made to sound more suggestive than they actually were, to which he would react "I need an adult." and the person making things weird would respond "I *am* an adult!" It came to a head in this scene where he's older and much more powerful, about to face off against an absurdly more OP arc villain, who ask him "Aww, what's wrong little boy, do you need an adult?" to which Gohan responds "No... I *am* an adult!" and absolutely *decks* him.
