#tetocu dub changes

[infini-tree]

Did you already say how they did Endenemy's name for the different dubs (since it was a hidden anagram for Melvin Sneedly)? That probably wasn't easy to translate if they tried to keep a similar pun for his name.

long story short, they kept the ‘vil endenemys’ name-- give or take translating the ‘enemy’ portion-- even if the joke doesn’t make sense as a result of melvin’s dub name being carried over from the original books

german: is the same

french: vil endennemi (edouard binoclar)

spanish: vil vencenemigos (gustavo lumbreras)

italian: vil finiscinemici (melvin sneedly)

welcome back to: let’s compare tetocu dub stuff feat. moxie’s name in all the available languages. if i don’t put a certain dub language, it either means i haven’t got to it yet or couldn’t transcribe it-- whether because the caption transcript is something i can’t read or the audio is different from the caption transcription making it difficult to transcribe

moxie swaggerman (german, hebrew*, indonesian, romanian**, thai*)

i’m putting this on top of the order since they kept the original english name. 

* the name is the same, but it is written in their respective script in the transcript

** romanian is a case where the audio says her name, but the caption transcript says a different name entirely

moxie caramaneira (brazilian portuguese)

this is one of the ones i have trouble parsing because searching caramaneira just gives me caraway. however if you reverse it to maneira cara, it means expensive way, which in theory fits the Cool Name of swaggerman

spunk swagmand (danish)

spunk is synonymous with moxie, and swagger was just shortened to swag. i mean, its got alliteration going for it

yola valiente (european spanish)

while yola could be just a shortened form of yolanda as far as i can tell, valiente means brave meaning that the surname takes a bit more from her original first name of moxie and its synonymous with determination and bravery

ronja roihuaskel (finnish)

ok this one im lost on

gerny swaggerman (norwegian)

[entry tbd]

werwa przekozacka (polish)

[entry tbd]

garra ousadaman (portuguese)

[entry tbd]

brava mândrean* (romanian)

the reason why i’m putting an asterisk is because while the transcript has her name as the one above, krupp’s audio has him say her english dub name

[entry tbd]

skrollan skrävelskryt (swedish)

[entry tbd]

furie tropdeclasse (french)

furie isn’t really a name, so much as the feminine version of fury, which is somewhat synonymous to the word moxie?

on the other hand, tropdeclasse, or trop de classe, literally means too much class and is still in line to the swagger portion of her english name.

eroica spavalda (italian)

this one’s actually the most straightforward of them, since spavalda is just italian for swagger. though her first name being changed to eroica does raise questions on what erica’s called in this dub

ファイト・イバリーマン / faito ibariman (japanese)

this is a pretty cut and dry literal translation of moxie’s name. faito is basically the word fight. the ibari part of ibariman may be based on the word ibaru, meaning meaning to be aloof/look down on, or to brag, similar to the swagger part of her english name

mónica rogante (spanish)

* edit: its most likely meant to be arrogante, which sounds like arrogant

today’s fun fact bc i was looking at the major messy ep for. AU Reasons. in case anyone out here wants to know, they actually do try to do pun names for the ree brothers. or i suppose, the cret bothers in the french dub

the names are less... toilet themed, with ultrasë cret (lavatore) and topsë  cret (toilette). the line where ree comments that their parents ‘were french canadian and really loved toilets’ changed to ‘our parents were not very creative and love secrets(? i might be mishearing that)’, despite what the french subtitles says otherwise

for some reason the french subtitles i have seem to use the French Dub names but translate the parents lines verbatim from english to french, which kills the joke, rip

(though cret Does still have the Pun with its honorific and retains the general vibe of mr ree/mystery: monsieur cret, or mon secret-- my secret)

[infini-tree]

GOD the fact that the french language dub and the actual caption transcription aren’t related to each other is absolutely making me lose it

[infini-tree]

one of these days i need to watch tetocu in french solely to figure out the dub changes
