#my surprise is that despite their casualness they are being used here. Fracco di legnate moment. i expect anime adaptations to be more...

"You're a bunch of fools! You two almost thwarted my beautiful plan! So much for the surprise, you were about to reveal the whole thing. I wonder where I found collaborators as inept as you! And now you'll stay locked in there!! You're grounded!* Tiè!*"

"I don't understand why he's so worked up about this."

"I don't wanna stay here anymore I'm so hungry!!"

(author's note: I have three notes here. 1- "where did y find x" is an insult often used in italian to imply they have little value. 2- "You're grounded" literally "in castigo", the 'you' is implied, he basically just says "grounded", and it has a clear connotation of putting your kids in time-out when they misbehave. 3- most fascinatingly, "tiè" is untranslatable, it's a regional expression along the lines of "serves you right", sometimes accompanied by a gesture that's equally as italian-specific, called "bras d'honneur". It is the closest Keroro can get to telling his friends "get fucked" without there being trouble about vulgarity, even though I am sincerely surprised they used it.)

#ita dub #keroro #this single post took me 1 hour because i sincerely didn't know how to convey what was being said #and there is another instance of a similarly baffling moment of adaptation in this episode #that will keep me tinkering for many minutes #these posts are getting impossible to do as the person responsible for adapting gets more comfortable using less strict italian #and getting looser #i wonder what keroro said in jpn Specifically here then. to warrant this. or if we just went off like that #i mean i understand english perfectly and it doesn't quite have a Lot of expressions that we use in italian that are considered more casual #my surprise is that despite their casualness they are being used here. Fracco di legnate moment. i expect anime adaptations to be more... #proper???? but i cant convey to an english only speaker what i mean exactly by this #they're not DIALECTICAL words btw #just... casual speech. not used to hearing them on tv #TIÈ is in my top5 ita dub moments now for sure u wouldnt get it tho
