#I’m having a blast with this episode it’s so wild 😂

Watching Detective Conan and caught up to the episode where an American teacher is introduced. However, the directors didn’t get a native English speaker (or someone who could imitate any American accent) so it leads to stuff like this:

The episode is FILLED with stuff like this. The American character randomly says English words, but they have a Japanese accent (not complaining about the accent, I just don’t know the point of why she’s just randomly saying English words as she sounds more fluent in Japanese than English 😭).

The fact that she also corrected a Japanese character with an accent who said the word “policeman” CORRECTLY the first time and then tried to tell him that the “right way” to say it is “POOR-IS-MAN” just had me laughing. Poor Megure is being lectured for literally nothing 😭

They really didn’t do any research for this episode. And I’m not saying that just because of the English, I’m saying that because THE PREMISE OF THE CASE OF THIS EPISODE IS THAT A GUY DIED WHILE PLAYING A FIGHTING GAME THAT PHYSICALLY HARMS YOU IF YOU GET HIT! HUH?! HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?!?! 😭

Also, in order to establish that this woman is American, they lean heavy into stereotypes: fair skin, blonde, blue eyes, revealing clothing, adult who enjoys video games (which I think was still taboo for adults in Japan to openly enjoy when this episode aired). But the best thing is, in her introduction outside of the flashback, she (I shit you not) plays a SHOOTING game and GETS A PERFECT SCORE WHILE DOING JUMP SPINS!!!

I would also like to say that this episode also provided us with this wonderful image:

NOW YOU TOP!
