the ichimatsu incident skit is like crazy good it’s just been discolored in my memory for spawning a generation of k*ra*chi shippers but man the skit was good and line delivery was most excellent. Why the eng dub changed ichi’s “karamatsu boy” line into “karamatsu’s bitch” I’ll never know but it was funny and also made sense in context of bemoaning being in Kara’s debt. Even in*cestbait aside it was still funny to me that ichi would rather throw karamatsu under the bus by making him out to be a brother kisser than just tell the truth.. maybe one day we will heal and iromatsu can be good again. anyway obligatory flaming banner

the ichimatsu incident is literally such a good skit it's literally so funny. like the point of the bit is "ichimatsu has the worst day of his life" which is why the inc*estbait joke works it's like "im so desperate to get out of this situation that i'm going to resort to doing the worst thing i can think of" (inc*stbait). and then it's like "this is hands down the worst day of my life nothing could make this day worse" and the even worser thing happens to him (karma of inc*stbaiting). it's sad that it got misconstrued by incest shippers but it's not like we can expect people who ship incest to have media literacy or critical thinking skills ^_^

i think the dub actually hadn't introduced the phrase "karamatsu girls" yet, which is why they changed it to "karamatsu's bitch" (during the s1e2 bridge scene he says something like "there's more than enough of me for both of you", i actually don't think he ever says "karamatsu girls" until s2e3 🤔 but i could be wrong). which was a good localization anyways because like you said the point of it is "im in kara's debt (FUCK!!!)" whereas "karamatsu boy" can come off more as "now im a fan of kara (because he did this good thing for me)" rather than the humiliating experience of Owing Your Brother A Favor

it's such a good skit it's so funny. and iro is such a funny and sweet dynamic. but alas
