That is very sweet! ^^ I'm very impressed with such a speech being in Pokémon at all, and especially when it was an episode written by that guy. XD

[twitchytwitch.livejournal.com]

The dub changed the speech a bit too... ^^;; But, the REAL reason PUSA are winning me over, they actually TRANSLATED most of it instead of just insterting a random speech like 4Kids would have done! ^^

Oh, right, I don't think you're familiar with the Raikou special or the point blank attack scene...
Movie eight!
I really don't want to spoil anything, but I'll post a SMALL translation snippet of the really touching speech in it.

I heard 4Kids went out with a bang- hopefully they translated this scene and kept it as beautiful.
'If a life must be traded for a pointless war... Myself and only me... should be plenty. But, I don't have any... regrets. In the castle, with Leen-sama and you... I had a beautiful life. That itself is what 'living' means.'

The whole speech is much sadder, but I can't spoil it! ^^;;; Especially if you listen to it and watch it... waaah.

Also, human death for the win! xD 4Kids /still/ dodged around the word 'die' though. It was kind of funny. The tree is 'dying,' whereas ---- is being 'destroyed.'

I'll stop spamming you and send you just this last little clippie from one of my most favorite Junkie-written episodes. ^^; It's just so SWEET. Also, more of Musashi's loyalty working a little bit against her, but at the same time, it helped them. xD;

Also, THE most awkward scene in Pokemon got 'translated' well. I honestly thought they would cut it. But, 'shinigami Musashi' was omitted... but Yamato (Casisdy!) and Musashi talking was translated well and even better then the original in some parts! ... Except for making the number of Musashi's 'crushed' partners less. ^^; Well, 4Kids was always about the panting and groaning and 'oh'ing and 'hmm'ing random other noises whenever there was silence in the original... so when they actually had to do some, it came out great. xDD

There's another scene I'd LOVE to send you, but since I don't want to crowd you too much... I'll just give you Dogasu's translation of what was said (which the dub completely rewrote... oi, vey)! ^o^

Kojiro: Musashi...are you awake?
Musashi: Yeah.
Kojiro: I'm always saying how I won't run away from anything, but the truth is that I've run away from all sorts of things. Up until now, I've led a life where I've been constantly running away.
Musashi: Until now, I've lived completely alone even though I keep being paired up with teammates.
Kojiro: You can't undo the past, but you can make a new one starting tomorrow.
Musashi: Yeah. If this team becomes number one, I believe we'll be able to shine like the stars in the sky!
Nyasu: Nyaa~ we'll become the star of the Roketto-Dan...

Thanks for the clip. ^^ That is a sweet scene! I can guess at what might be being said, but I don't know for sure. In any case, I love it.

A scene dubbed even better than the original? That's something that doesn't happen every day.

Thanks for the translation of the other scene, and that speech. Those are both great. X3 I especially love the line about Musashi feeling that she's lived alone in the past even though she's been paired with teammates.

Not much speaking, but the exam was coming to an end and Kojiro wanted Musashi to let go and leave and finish the test with Nyasu. He didn't want to hurt him by using him as a rope.
Musashi couldn't leave him, obviously, and kept trying to pull him up even though he said it was impossible. He smiled, then let go.
But THIS time, Musashi pulled Nyasu up and both grabbed his hand, pulling him out.
Awkward scene, then Nyasu gets them to finish the test (they were late in finishing... but got in the gang anyway. ^^)

Yeah, ESPECIALLY not with 4Kids! xD That's only happened like... twice or thrice before. ^^;

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

I kinda figured he wanted them to let him go for one reason or another. ^^ Very sweet! So much friendship cuteness....

[twitchytwitch.livejournal.com]

Technically, she has lived alone since her mother did die and she was being switched from foster home to foster home... I guess 4Kids changed the dialogue around because Jessie's mother is supposed to be alive well into the Santa/Jynx thing, whereas Musashi's mother was probably already dead before then, the real reason Santa didn't get to give her her doll back being because she was moved to yet another home and he lost her. ^^;
And btoh were really... tough as nails in this special. Musashi was constantly crushing her old team mates and refused to get close to any (before Kojiro) earning herself the nickname of shinigami Musashi by people twelve years her senior. xD

If you already knew all that... ^///^ So sorry for rambling!

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

The only part of that I knew was that her mother was dead. XD Poor thing.

That sounds like a great special! X3

[twitchytwitch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, poor Musashi. ^^;

The special's continuity errors are that Kojiro and Musashi were (in the original series) childhood friends and met BEFORE the gang.
Also, Kojiro interacts with Kosaburo and Yamato several times, though maybe he forgot about them when he saw them again later. xD;
And that Nyasu found Persian already there- it was more like Nyasu tried to usurp Persian's role for a second there while the cats just looked irritated, then Sakaki figured Nyasu just messed things up so he put him with Kojiro and Musashi. xD
But forgetting those, everything else about the special is perfect.
