Talk:Don't Mind China Boy

Something is wrong. In the literal translation (professional subtitles) of the show, the translation is alot different. What's wrong?

That's not uncommon in Ranma 1/2 as a whole. The dubbed version is full of "Woolseyisms", cultural-based translations that attempt to cover the same general feel as the original Japanese but without being a direct/literal translation. For example, Kuno's various references to Shakespear or poetry (especially that relating to Western Chivalry) in the dub are Woolseyisms intended to convey his obssession with being an adherent to Bushido and perception of himself as a true samurai.
