Since The Post About Differences In Translation WRT Kaito And Kokichi's Relationship Was Unfortunately

Since the post about differences in translation WRT Kaito and Kokichi's relationship was unfortunately deleted, I've taken it upon myself to make my own for posterity's sake.

NISA: Geez… you're such a naive dude.

OG: 。。。ったく、テメーはピユアなやろうだな。/ …Geez, you're such a pure guy.

A pretty well-known change that makes Kaito sound more insulting then he does in the original. Kokichi's response was also altered not only in the text, but in the voice acting; in Japanese, he sounds uncharacteristically emotionless, rather than annoyed like in the dub.

NISA: Well, we come from different backgrounds. So for now, let's agree to disagree. No one's ever called me naive before. And from Kaito? Seriously?

OG: まあ、百田ちゃんとオレの話が合わないのわ最初あきらめているけど。。。 / Well, I'd already given up on seeing eye to eye with Momota-chan since the beginning… ピュアなんて言われてのわ初めてだよ。オレみたいに嘘つきがさ。/ But that's the first time someone's called a liar like me pure.

Kaito goes from telling Maki to let Kokichi go or he'll die, to telling Maki to let Kokichi go so she won't get executed:

NISA: Maki Roll, cut it out! You'll get killed if you don't!

OG: ハルマキ、もうやめろ！それ以上やったらマジで死ぬぞ！/ Harumaki, stop already! Any more than that and he'll seriously die!

Kaito's response to Maki saying he shouldn't have cooperated with Kokichi is translated to sound like he was pestered into it. In the original, it sounds like he's seriously reflecting on Kokichi's state of mind throughout the game.

NISA: It was kinda hard to ignore such an annoying guy. Geez… I wonder how far ahead he planned this evil scheme of his.

OG: 。。。あいつわそんあ易しいヤツじゃねーよ。/ …He wasn't that simple. まったく。。。どこからどこまでが計算だったんだろうな。あいつの悪巧みわよ。/ Man… I wonder how much of it he'd planned out. For that cunning scheme of his.

And of course, Kaito's final words on Kokichi were made to sound a lot harsher.

NISA: He was a lying sack of shit.

OG: 。。。あいつは筋金入りの嘘つきだったぜ。/ …He was a liar to the core.

Hey everyone. I hate that I’m here once again announcing that I’ve made another callout video, but this one is really serious. So please, if you’re in a safe headspace to do so, please watch this video. It’s in some ways a follow up to my Zemaroon video, but this time it’s about Agent0Fluffy and GravityUniverse115 (the ones referred to as “F” and “V” in the previous video).

Agent0Fluffy has been beyond inappropriate with a minor, and both Agent0Fluffy and GravityUniverse115 are a danger to minors overall.

If you’re comfortable doing so, please also share this video to help spread awareness about what these people have done – especially Agent0Fluffy, who has a large platform, and whose actions are technically a crime. The more awareness is raised, the easier it’ll be to prevent something terrible like this from happening again.

I truly didn’t want to have to do this, and working on this video for the past two months has felt like absolute torture. All I’ve ever wanted to do is make content to entertain people, and instead I’ve become a harbinger of despair, spreading misery across the fandoms that I love. But I can’t sit by and allow people like Zemaroon, Agent0Fluffy, and GravityUniverse115 to continue endangering others. My inaction made me complicit before, and I won’t allow that to happen again.

I’m emotionally preparing myself for the backlash I’ll probably receive from this video, but I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I sat back and allowed more people to get hurt. Depending on how bad the backlash is, it’s possible I might step away for a while. We’ll see how things go. But after being emotionally beaten down for all of 2024, this whole situation with Agent0Fluffy and GravityUniverse115 has felt like some kind of deathblow. I was trying so hard to glue together the shattered pieces of what I’d built, but they’ve been scattered so far now, I don’t think many of the pieces can ever be found again.

I hope there will be better times ahead, but that’s seeming less likely with each passing day. Perhaps it would be better to say: “I hope there will be safer times ahead” for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who's been so supportive through all of this, and to everyone who's helped out with this mess. And to everyone who's been affected by all of this, I am so sorry. I truly do hope things will get better soon..........

Can we get some Majestic Rep spacedolls?? Majestic Rep is the spacedolls production I fear (plus its my fav production)

Against a cloudy blue and magenta background, Jane is hunched over approaching Ricky, staring up at him and holding her headless doll. Ricky is standing with a pair of gray forearm crutches, smiling awkwardly down at Jane. Jane has tan skin on her neck and hands but a pale face, short, curly platinum blonde hair with little black bows in it, and big black eyes. Her face is dirty with big black cracks, heavy pink blush, long eyelashes and grayish purple eyeshadow with red lipstick and eyebrows arched upward. She is wearing a white long sleeved button down blouse with a high, frilly collar, a gray and dark red plaid jumper, and white stockings. Her headless doll is wearing a frilly pink and red floral dress with a white lace collar, white bloomers, and white shoes. Ricky is tall with light skin, brown eyes, and short, slightly curly black hair. He is wearing a white long sleeved button down, a gray and dark red plaid tie, a red sweater vest, and gray pants.

Ref photos for this production tend to be a bit hard to find, at least for me, but I’m pretty happy with what I came up with. With spacedolls reqs, when in doubt I just draw Jane being Jane, Ricky puzzled yet enamored, Dolly is there, Yk
