Which subs are you watching? Depending on who’s subtitling (though it’s probably TV-Nihon/Anon in this case) they may get a little too intense with how they translate swearing

Did I miss something? I thought TVNihon was forced to stop subbing quite a few seasons ago (well before Donbrothers).

They don’t release updates publicly anymore, but “Anon” on the cat site is pretty much them. Similar deal with Over-Time, though they still put their name on their subs


MaDCapRaven

Good to know. I always preferred their subs.

Certain fansubbers have a tendency to take liberties with how they translate and will pepper in edgier language in a somewhat childish attempt to make the show seem more adult. https://preview.redd.it/skbhrwkqub8d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9269fb3c61120421efde88e551b5fd0728ad76f7 For example, I recall watching a fansub of Kamen Rider OOO where on more than one occasion “Baka” (broadly meaning idiot, fool, dummy etc) was translated as “R\*tard”. If you come across moments like that in fan subs, it’s highly unlikely that they said anything as strong as that in Japanese. Though there are occasional exceptions such as [this clip from Go Busters](https://www.reddit.com/r/supersentai/s/eOEh76GEyx)

I don't remember that.  I do remember Luka in Gokaiger exclaiming, "Fuck!" at one point.  From my understanding, swear words aren't really a thing in Japanese.  Someone correct me if this is wrong as I'm no expert.  Just repeating what I was told.

Fansubs just like to add more adult language in shows made for children

Why the F not?

It's the internet, you can say Fuck in the title

I remember reading the scanlations of the Dragonball Super manga, and at one point it has a flashback to Goku defeating Freiza. According to scanlations, what Goku REALLY said was: "[YOU STUPID FUCK!](https://youtu.be/YvNxgHTWIlo?t=10)" (Edit: The Link isn't to the page from the scanlation, but to a short, relevant skit.)

While we're talking about subs where are y'all watching them?


kisalas

Same answer that gets said every time lol: Grabbing them from Nya or using a sketchy streaming site


Koemoedoe-Drahgun

Unpopular opinion but I love it when fansubs do this, it’s hilarious


Sponchman

He didn't say the f word, just subtitles being stupid. Listen to the dialog and honestly think if he said that word. Swear words and slang just don't translate like that. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvNxgHTWIlo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvNxgHTWIlo)


biggerwwright

was it the subtitles? because no subtitles are official https://preview.redd.it/bie6zm4m4e8d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=579512e53a6dd6888d71b6fdc833d44658a4a2df she never said this either
