Hello Polish person here! Gabby's name should be Gabrysia and Vanessa is right, female names in polish end with a with some exceptions. Also love how you pronouce it. At 27:16 Tam was really close. Her last name is Nowak but we pronouce w as v
Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had So he shot at the sun with a gun Shot at the sun with a gun Shot at his wily one only friend In the gallows or the ghetto In the town or the meadow In the billows even over the sun Every end of the time is another begun You understand mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything (ah) Ruler of everything (ah) I'm the ruler of everything in the end Do you like how I dance? I've got zirconium pants Consequential enough to slip you into a trance Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk? I have a wonderful wife, I have a powerful job She criticizes me for being egocentric You practice your mannerisms into the wall If this mirror were clearer, I'd be standing so tall I saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill I was observing the birds (circle in for the kill) I've been you, I know you, your facade is a scam You know you're making me cry, this is the way that I am I've been living a lie, a metamorphical scheme Detective undercover, brotherhood, objective, obscene Oh, no, no, oh yeah Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an, "Oh my God, I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell, another story to tell Another time piece ringing the bell" Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end? No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool, although you're only a man So give it up and smile Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an, "Oh my God, I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell, another story to tell Another time piece ringing the bell" Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end? No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool although you're only a man So give it up and smile You understand mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything (ah) Ruler of everything (ah) I'm the ruler of everything In the end Without looking down, gliding around Like a bumbling dragon, I fly Scraping my face on the sky Oh, no, no, oh, yeah pin?
I'm pretty much against the idea you present so much of "if I consider a character is boring they should make their dialogue quirkier" that's not the point of a translation and that's unprofesional. I mean one thing is adapting jokes and search for equivalencies that can work in the language that is being translated to and other different thing is taint an original piece of work just cause the translator thought of inventing something.
While Horace is a better horse pun name, i can see why they went with Bronco. A Bronco is an "untamed horse", which does absolutely fit the character's personality. Also, its just kinda funny given Simeon's profession. The wild animal tamer and his childhood best friend: Untamed Horse 🐎 Perhaps there's some symbolic meaning there. Also, every time i hear Ford Bronco advertisements, i now start snickering.
I disagree with your theory about Ethan and Nichole. Ethan means "strong and steady" in Hebrew, which might relate to his aim or fortress like stature ( which itself conveys a rook). Nichole alludes to the camera brand "Nikon", in ny opinion.
And there have been technically 3 characters with their name pun being patrol Paht Rohl in Spirit of Justice And then Pat(tricia) and Rol(y) Beate from GAA and Issac Dover sounds like "iced over"
It’s crazy to me how many “Patrol” jokes this franchise has made- Patricia Roland, Pat Rohl, and (spoilers just for the names of two characters in GAAC case 1-4): Pat and Roly
Wait, they didn't give the body double an actual name? That's really dissapointing and anoying. I mean, the body caused the inciting incident by seeking out Blaise/Exelcus and bribing him into masterminding the assassination on Huang/Wang. Had the body double not ordered the hit than Keyes/Saint would have still been orphanage ontill he was either adopted or continued being there ontill he became an adult, which would have resulted in Keyes/Saint becoming so mentaly scarred to the point that he would spent the rest of his life masterminding the downfall of those who wronged him. And if Keyes/Saint never went down that dark road than most of the cases would never come into exstince. Case 1 would never happen, because Huang/Wang would still be alive and thus would not employ private security, meaning neither Rook nor Knightly/Knight would be under the president's employ. It also means that Knightly/Knight would most likely never have had the motive nor means to murder Rook as their paths would likely never cross and even if they did, the lack of a 2nd amendement would have prevented Knightly/Knight from comming up with a plan where he would kill Rook and make it look like he died protecting whoever they were ordered to guard. Case 2 would never happen, because Knightly/Knight would've never been in jail awaiting trial. Roland/LeGard would've never become the warden of the prison, because she never helped Blaise/Exelcus due to her never being bribed into any of his schemes. Even if she did 1 day quit her job as orphanage directer and sucseesfully become a warden, she would never be manipulated into murdering anyone, as she commited any crimes, which means that she never wronged Keyes/Saint and that also means that none of the inmates would have any dirt on her to blackmail her with. Case 4 would never happen, because Jack/Al would not have died. Well maybe he would still die, because he was investigating blackmarket dealings that Blaise/Exelcus was conducting when he was chief prosecuter, however Jack/Al would've never died at the orphanage. And because Blaise/Exelcus never wronged Keyes/Saint, Keyes/Saint would've never manipulated the situation so Blaise/Exelcus and Jill/Rosie would have a run in with each other and Kay would've never been kidnaped in order to get Edgeworth involved. Well maybe the 2 would still cross paths and Blaise/Exelcus would've still gotten out on top, but because Edgeworth now has no reason to get involved, that results in the case remaining unsolved and baried, or the wrong person get's fingered for the crime and is found guilty. And case 5 would never happen, because - onlike the body double - the president has no reason murder Justine/Verity. This also means that Keyes/Saint would not have reason to scale the grand tower and not fall victim to being shot at, resulting in him being forced to kill his attacker and then to throw of TOD before then transporting the body to different location to pin the blame on someone else. And finaly, in the timeline where the body double never ordered the assassination, Blaise/Exelcus and Roland/LeGard would've never been under arrest and stand trial, because weren't exposed for murderers, Blaise/Exelcus would have never needed to help out Roland/LeGard and neither Keyes/Saint nor Blaise/Exelcus would've never had a reason to kidnap Justine/Verity's son to extort her. Case 3 is the exeption, because it happened way before the body double became dissalutioned and wanted to kill him to become the president. However, because case 2 never happened, Edgeworth and Ray/Eddie never meet and Ray/Eddie would've never invited Edgeworth to come to the museum to learn about Gregory's last case. Well, I'm pretty sure that case 3 would still be solved, but not by Edgeworth. Instead it would be Phoenix who solves the case as Sebastian/Eutace acused Larry of being the attacker and if Edgeworth wasn't there to defend Larry then Larry would been indicted.
Tabby as a first name is so cute! Like she’s a cat or something lol 🐱 Tbh I cackled when I found out about Eustace’s name bc to me it was nothing but an old man name. HOWEVER I’ve really only associated it with him for the past couple of months so it’s lost that connotation and now I love it. It’s preppy which suits a rich kid like him. I also saw some of his official dialogue from the demo video where he says, “I’m not just ANY rookie! I am a winning rookie,” which I think is super cute, so I’m fine with the name ‘winner.’ The name shaun fenn, idk, I like it for some reason. Like harvey MILK is such a random reference that it really makes the name for me lol. I like how they found a way to incorporate a marsh theme too with ‘fenn’
I also like simeon Saint cause people will suspect that he is maybe guilty in case 2 cause of the "saint" part like engarde in 2-4 And then after case 2 people will be like "oh he was really a Saint one after all" And then we have case 5 which subverts your expectations again So for me cause of that simeon is S tier here I still think Simon keyes is better name but the Saint part is more creative in case 2
fun tierlist, but i don't think you're giving the fan translation (or the original JP versions) enough credit. i don't think it was ever boring or clinical at all. it remains to be seen if the official version will be better, but some of these names are really good. simeon saint is probably my favorite.
to be fair, a lot of the fanTL names were either so on the nose or nonsensical to the point the pun explanation felt like a stretch. But yeah, they did a good job though. It's just an official localization is now here lol
I've seen side-by-side comparisons to the fan translated version of AAI2 versus the demo and a lot of the characters seem a lot more lively and personality-filled. The fan translation was never boring to me, but I did feel like Gumshoe, Kay, "Nicole", and others felt a bit too watered down due to them being directly translated from Japanese rather than localized like every other game. I felt the same way towards the TGAAC fan translation vs the official release tbh.
12:56 Blaise Debeste's Japanese name actually does this, it's "Ichiyanagi Banzai" where the pun is "Ichiban" or #1 20:13 Frost is a reference to frosting and I believe Artie could be in some way referencing artificial flavour? Not sure there 23:08 Excelsius is a pun on Celsius, referencing his fire gimmick
@@TheChaoticDarkness Its a double entendre because he's both a pastry chef and was frozen after he died, they wouldn't name a character with as much importance to the story as he has with the same mentality as "Deid Mann"
I don’t know why you are saying that characters having a normal name is strange. There a plenty of AA characters with a normal first name: Frank Sahwit, Miles Edgeworth, Larry Butz, April May, Cody Hakins, Penny something, Jake Marshal, Robert Hammond, Angel Starr and so on
True, but many of those names add to the pun. Larry Butz sets up the “Hairy Butz” joke that Mia makes, Cody Hackins is a play on “coding/hacking”, “Penny” is a form of currency just like “Nichols/nickels”, etc etc. “Nicole” on the other hand doesn’t really create a pun (unless I’m missing something lol). I do see your point though, so many characters have such normal names (which make the puns that much better haha)
Simeon Saint has an additional reference to it. Saint Simeon Salus was called "the holy fool" He was a man who played the role of a fool to disguise his good deeds, Simeon Saint is literally a reverse of that, a man who plays the role of a fool to disguise his evil deeds, and thus he has his name but backwards
10:15 - In The Great Ace Attorney there's a character named Courtney Sithe. 10:50 - in "Winner"s defense, it makes a "Whiner" pun, as in "Useless whiner". [with a creative spelling could have been even better]
good video bodhidharma kanis is probably my favorite glow up (no idea how they thought dogen was a good idea) i think fifi laguarde is an upgrade since the "patrol" pun has already been used before in the franchise a few times
"Dogen" comes from the name of a Japanese Zen Buddhist monk, and the official localization is similar in that they also gave him the name of a Buddhist monk, Bodhidharma. His character has some ties to Buddhism, hence why they chose "Dogen," not to mention it also acts as a play on the word "dog," which "Kanis" also does.
it took me a decade to realise that Bastian Rook's hair is straight, like the Rook's chess piece, meanwhile Knight has a mohawk like the knight chess piece
I love your reactions to this! I will say BFDIA 13 is meant to be foreshadowing to future seasons like BFB and TPOT by explaining why Rocky has acid vomit and the reason why the other characters now have modernized designs. Also, it's really important to watch the Post credit scene for BFDIA 13 as something important happens there
I like how Genesis went past batteries a hundred times not realizing he could pick them up or didn't see them. Got mad at Carley, resumed to walk around, got mad at Carley, tried to go outside but Carley was in the way... In his defense, the game doesn't actually tell you to find them. You are expected to explore by yourself. I had difficulties with this on my first playthrough. Here's to many good streams in the future! o wo/
