The scene is pretty much the same but the wording to me is just so much more volatile. He's not even calling him a freak here, he's calling him a monster, which is something he has never called N before now, not in the games and not in the manga in any translation I've come across. It reads as so much more dehumanizing here and the way he says N is "biting the hand that feeds him" is so interesting to me. N is being disobedient by expressing his love for Ghetsis, that is what gets him marked as being unruly, going against the rules. This Ghetsis isn't just expressing his disdain for being N's father, he's expressing his disdain for N as a whole; N is "disgusting" to him. I prefer this translation rather than the official one just because it feels so much more emotionally charged, it feels so much more hate filled.

#h…#see this one feels almost more genuine. as if ghetsis really felt betrayed by n turning on him #which i’m sure he was but like. in terms of inconvenience #this feels almost like ghetsis was personally wounded by n’s change of heart #like ‘i did everything for you i would’ve loved you but you rejected me’#like that he does at least have some kind of argument (obv not a good one a very manipulative one)#i mean like not in a deep real way but like in the sense that he’s trying to appeal to n’s sense of guilt even now. one last manipulation #whereas the original i feel more accurately carries the sense of pure heartlessness and detachment he has #like the original is just a pure outburst of disdain and entirely selfish rage and hate #like it’s just ghetsis absolutely losing his sanity much like at the end of the game version of the story. just losing control of himself #like this one would hurt n emotionally more for sure. but the original feels more like what i think ghetsis would actually say here #but i do like the ‘monster’ thing it’s a good touch #asks #colorful-bees #b2w2 pokespe liveblog
