OH SHIT OFFICIAL PUNCH OUT SEQUEL CHARACTERS DROPPED/J

Had a go at recreating the official PO!! style and whipped up these 3 bad boys. All of 3 of them are fighters withing Branch B (Jazzy #1 in Minor Circuit while Rangi and Maritime are at #2 and #1 in World Circuit respectively)

Some info about them under the cut!

JAZZY JAMBOREE

Name: Jazzy Jamboree

Age: 37

Height: 6'1

Weight: 196lbs

From: New Orleans, LA, USA

From New Orleans, comes a whopping, bopping and jazzy sensation. Jamboree is a triple act, working as a commentator, a singer AND a boxer, delivering both witty lines, gorgeous tunes and hard hitting punches to his opponents!

RANGI RIPPA

Name: Rangi Rippa

Age: 26

Height: 6'2

Weight: 210lbs

From: Manurewa, AKL, NZ

Hailing from the land of the long white cloud, Rangi is a fighter with a heart of fire. He's a hard hitter with a tackle greater than any other. Although he may look intimidating, this man is really a team player and very friendly! Maybe stop and grab a drink with him later?

MIGHTY MARITIME

Name: Mighty Maritime

Age: 44

Height: 6'8

Weight: 353lbs

From: Liverpool, UK (yes he's a scouse)

From the Maritime city of Liverpool comes Mighty Maritime. A cold hearted sailor with a grim look on his face and his trusty anchor always in hand. Be careful how you act while in the ring with this brute, or you'll be saying a quick hello to Davey Jones locker

I've got a question if you wouldn't mind answering!

I saw that the voice actor for Grim commented that Grim always ends his phrases with the word "zo", I was wondering if it had any meaning? Or if maybe it's just something to make his character more unique? Similarly, I've noticed Ruggie tend to use a lot of "su" at the end of his phrases, and I was wondering the same thing, if it had any meaning at all or if it's just supposed to be a character quirk!

Ty for your hard work and don't feel pressured to answer this if you don't want to! 🫶🏻

Hello hello! Thank you very much, you are so kind! ^^

Yes yes, Grim's Sugiyama comments on how difficult Grim's "zo" was for him in his interview (published in vol. 1 of the fanbook).

"Zo" can have a meaning of its own (I liked this explanation on jlptsensei.com, for those who may be curious), but it is generally not used in the way that Grim is using it 🐱 He adds it just to everything!

And verbal ticks like this come up a lot in all kinds of Japanese-language media! Videos games, manga, anime, TV dramas, comedians, etc.

Ruggie's "su" is also kind of a verbal tic, and also has its own meaning:

Discussed in more detail in another post (ref: Idia's "degozaru"), the Japanese language has the word "desu," which has different forms depending on how polite you want to be!

Grim and Jade use the word in two of its more normal (least slang-like) ways, casual for Grim (da) and more polite for Jade (desu).

Ruggie is also using it in a casual way, dropping the "de" part and only using the "su," but it all means the same thing ^^

A verbal tic is even the catalyst of Spectral Soiree!

While not as often as Grim, Malleus is also known to end his sentences in "zo."

He keeps this speaking pattern even during Spectral Soiree, when he is pretending to be possessed by the ghost of an emperor.

But he then slips mid-conversation, saying "zo yo."

Leona noticing this inconsistency starts a domino effect that ultimately compromises Malleus' charade, leading to Malleus' confession (more here).

So verbal tics can be very important! ^^

Crowley's "since I am kind" might also be considered a verbal tic, as it is generally repeated in the exact same way throughout the original game (original-game-to-EN comparison here!).

I think I will add a deep dive into the various speech patterns there are to my TODO list because this post keeps getting longer ww But here are a few pick-ups for right now:

・Idia's use of "degozaru," "-shi," otaku-/net-slang and his stutter are unique to his character.

・Ace will often say "papatto," for getting something done quickly.

・Epel has many things going on with his various forms of speech, and his "kana" might count as a verbal tic?

・Vil will often say "choudai" (apologies for the twitter link)

・Lilia will often use the adjective "rippa," which is similar to admirable/splendid/impressive/respectable/etc. in English!

・Riddle will often end questions with "dai"

・A line that Riddle also says before battles, Riddle will often say "ii dokyo ga oari dane," which is something like "to have some nerve." Other characters will say variations on "ii dokyo" (usually Vil and Leona), but this full phrase is unique to Riddle.

・Riddle will also often say "owakari dane," usually to mean "You understand?," as in, "if you don't do as I say, you understand what is going to happen to you, yes?" (re: he is going to behead someone).

・Maybe my favorite, Rollo will often end his sentences with "kane."

In the way Rollo is using it, it is just another verbal tic, but then there is the Bell of Salvation from the event or 救いの鐘 in Japanese:

Sukui no Kane. "Kane" means bell!

Rollo is ending so many of his sentences with the word "bell" ^^ It is wordplay!

Language is personalized to each and every character in the game, to the point that most of the time (on JP) you can tell which character is speaking before they even enter the room based upon verbal tics and honorifics ^^ It is all very interesting, but unfortunately all very impossible to put across on EN!
