Yes, in Japanese at least. Viz tends to be very on-and-off when it comes to her accent.Mewzard wrote:Was Chi-Chi's "hickish" dialect still in the manga during the Z era?
Then obviously the solution is to give her a Cockney accent.Mewzard wrote:I just can't take the mental image of Chi-Chi with the American equivalent of a "hick" accent very serious.
I don't know about you, but I sure as hell wouldn't want those characters to speak like that in English. It would just sound grating. I'm perfectly fine with how Yajirobe and Chichi are portrayed in the dub.linkdude20002001 wrote:
And here's a good exchange between Yajirove and Chichi.
Yajirove: "Hey! This is fine 'n' all, but y'r Gokuh's wife, right? Stop worrin' about just the kid, and look after y'r husband, would ya?"
Chichi: "How rude! Nothin' doin'."

But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.
Yeah, but you can make those characters sound like hillbillies, by making them say slang like "ain't", without making them sound like annoying rednecks.penguintruth wrote:But those characters are sort of supposed to be grating. They're hillbillies.

If you think that's grating, then you think the characters are grating. English or Japanese; it's the same way of talking. You can't just use ain't and call it good. That's not the characters, and not how Toriyama made them. It's a gag manga full of characters that are supposed to amuse you, and Yajirove certainly does amuse me. Chichi does too, I suppose, but not necessarily because of her dialect.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:I don't know about you, but I sure as hell wouldn't want those characters to speak like that in English.

Suupaa Gohan 2 wrote:Vegeta: "With this 24/7 sun, who knows how long it's been since I slept?"
Anyone else think this is another one of those 'off' bits of dialogue? Vegeta isn't an earthling, and I think Namek is a prime example of the fact that other planets in the DB universe have different measures of time and day and night...why should Vegeta be using Earth's system? For all we know his native planet had a different system too, and it feels a little bizarre to use an English colloquialism just cuz when you think about that fact. Reminds me of some of the old Ocean dub lines, like Piccolo's 'David and Goliath' reference, and other such things. But maybe that's just me.

It does that for me from time to time, usually when a new episode comes out. I haven't been able to get it to work today, which is preventing me from listening to Freeza scream "VERMIN!"Tsukento wrote:Anyone else having issues getting the newest episode to load properly on Nicktoons' site? It seems to bug out whenever I have Ad Block Plus active and skips right to whatever's next on the playlist. It's really annoying because it's only doing it with yesterday's episode and its clips and nothing else. I've not had this issue with anything else.
Edit: Scratch that. Seems to spazz out regardless of whether I have ABP active or not. Either way, anyone else having this issue?
How's that worse than Vegeta or Freeza knowing what fireworks are?Suupaa Gohan 2 wrote:Vegeta: "With this 24/7 sun, who knows how long it's been since I slept?"
Because fireworks can conceptually be made by any race. The concept of a 24 hour day is pretty native to Earth.MR.Mark wrote:How's that worse than Vegeta or Freeza knowing what fireworks are?Suupaa Gohan 2 wrote:Vegeta: "With this 24/7 sun, who knows how long it's been since I slept?"
You have to accompany for many factors. A planet can be closer or further away than us depending on it's size and atmosphere, and still support life. Furthermore, the size of the actual sun. Depending on the star's output of heat, you can have a planet pretty far away and still support life.Mewzard wrote:Considering if the Earth was too much closer or father away from the sun, life wouldn't have formed.

The distance from the Earth to the Sun does not affect the length of our day (barring becoming tidally locked, which would only happen if the planet was closer than Mercury to our Sun).Mewzard wrote:Considering if the Earth was too much closer or father away from the sun, life wouldn't have formed.
