[Digimon Podcast] LiT Episode 1 - Two Digipeas In An MC Peapod

0:00 [Music] the is up did you see did you did you know hello my name is May and I am the host of Lost in Translation Monon now I decided to have this podcast because I've always kind of wanted a digimon podcast but the fandom wasn't that big until the the announcement of Digimon Adventure try and then uh two other podcasts three other podcasts already existed so I was like oh damn so then I decided hey what if we uh you know compare the Japanese version and the English version because that's always good for a bit of a giggle um and then I have a friend who has vaguely seen

0:46 Digimon isn't really a big fan doesn't know much about it kind of doesn't like it uh and so I decided hey how bu he co-host so that's me yep my name is Jay I'm the co-host so once upon a time I watch Digimon I think and now I I've got nothing and you talk about it all the time and I've still got nothing so now I've seen two I've seen I guess one and a half episodes one's a movie kind of it's 20 minutes I think it was a theatrical release maybe I wouldn't have gone to a movie to see listen to Bolero for 20 minutes no I'd ra much rather Fat Boy Slim although we'll get there and the Dig rap for this episode as you can tell we listened we watched the prequel movie for both in English and Japanese and we watched the first episode of the

1:32 show Digimon Adventure um I've taken gratuitous notes none of which makes sense which is fine because the show doesn't it makes sense yeah so you say anyway so we can begin so for the name changes first of all we have ta Chi Yagami which becomes Tai Kamia I I'm not entirely sure of this I've only just heard some scuttlebutt about this but I have heard that Yami was changed because backwards it is I am gay or I a gay but I'm not really like I I tried American audiences couldn't handle that yeah I tried to look around on the internet for any actual proof and there were just people saying hey guys Ying me backwards is I'm a gay so that's it's still Japanese like

2:19 Kam is still a Japanese name Yamato Ishida which is Matt Isa so again it's more of a shortened name Americanized mm M um there's KIRO isumi which is izy isumi kir and izy are the same thing um well it said that his sort of like a nickname is he like his name is a Koso in the in the English version but I just think they've got the is part from isumi uh s Sora is still the same uh Mimi is the same and Joe is spelled different like Joe is spelled j OE in the American version and j o u in the Japanese version we have teu Tashi becomes TK Tashi hiar

3:06 Yagami who becomes kardi Kam pomon which becomes yokomon and then there's pamon which becomes bukamon and the D the digidestined are called arashi katachi which means chosen children uh the digi World becomes the digital world uh Faith honesty sincerity becomes reliability and Purity becomes sincerity I thought the translation there was like digital world and file island or is file Island just a place file Island's a place they let go to server oh my God this is the worst what a terrible show why did you make me do this so do you hate Digimon because they put mon but like at the end of everything like and they put Digi at the beginning of everything yeah that's only that's in the English version

3:52 though so the Japanese version they they put they tend to put Digi in the front of less things anyway so there are yep I can appreciate that anyway yeah it's still oh my God I miss Pokémon I miss it so much why' you make me watch this but this is much better than the Pokemon anime anyway so and then we have their evolution lines where um so we've got in the Japanese version we have childhood one which is of officially translated as baby one and that becomes fresh or baby then we have stage two which yep so fresh it's like subway um we have child eat fresh that' make it so much

4:38 better that eat that we have childhood 2 which is officially translated as baby 2 which is in the English in training then we have youth which is officially translated to child which is rookie in English then we have adolescence which is officially translated to adult which becomes champion and and then we have on stage five we have perfect form which is translated to Ultimate and then we have stage six which is ultimate form which becomes Mega then we have like a super special level seven which is super ultimate uh and then which is just Ultra I think and which is IND Digimon World DS does anyone who makes these levels understand that ultimate means like best

5:26 and the top of the thing whereas yeah it and it is like that in the in in Japanese ultimate's the best but then Mega yeah but that that's in the English version English goes ultimate mega and Japanese ultimate's the uh the main top one I guess I'll find out I haven't seen any of that stuff yeah you will learn so do I have to for some reason on this page I have written the digi wrap is a Digi disaster so we start off and taii is narrating it saying you know this is the first time that I saw the Digimon and this is like this is my history this is me but it's taii um as of the age of in the series but in

6:14 the English version it's krie from season two narrating it I did think that was weird yep pardon I did think that I watched Japanese first so I've got y taii as our narrator then she starts narrating the next one or the other translation and it's really odd cuz she's just watching herself be a three-year-old and I feel like she should be embarrassed about most of what's going on I was so young I was so scared I was so cute and modest apparently she's very modest I think I wrote exactly that yeah all right go on all right so starts we have the digi rap in the uh at the start of the um the English version now

6:59 I made sure Jay just watched the first part and not the rest of it we'll watch those in the order of their Japanese release so we won't watch our war game until after season 1 and we'll watch hurricane touchdown unfortunately um like halfway through season two no no look what youve forgotten here what's very important and what makes the English movie significantly better than the Japanese version is that it starts with Angela Anaconda a show whose animation makes South Park looks like Toy Story 3 I didn't even make any notes about the angel Anaconda movie I just didn't watch that part I just skipped this was one of the most enjoyable parts of the whole movie I really enjoyed this

7:48 because it had less Digimon in it no there were Digimon in it they said Digimon probably more often than in the actual episode but it had less Maybe I don't really but she becomes Angela Mon oh she defeats ninny Winnie Monon you know what maybe maybe I had some stress disorder that made me forget about all of this I really wish I had okay maybe I regret watching the whole Angel Anaconda bit I don't even know I just skipped it because like I've I just I remember really liking Angel Anaconda as a kid I thought it was like pretty cool but now I'm 21 and it's kind of not what I want to watch before I watch my Digimon it's the perfect tone Setter for

8:33 Digimon but anyway so you talking about the digi rap right y so the lines that got me you you always fall on the digit tude whatever the digi disaster that's the one the one for me was just did you see and did you know cuz those puns pretty good actually yeah did you see did you know y so I did some research and I found out that the guy who made this rap his name is mcpod yep and what else has he done I don't I don't know I just feel like this man must be some kind of hero because he did the digi rap no it's mostly the name I'm just imagining an actual set of pe's with headphones just like this is perfect dig Digi

9:21 disaster let's I'm going to submit this to the studio and every single person there is going to be like yep let's [ __ ] go for it [ __ ] amazing now and that puts mcpod at the top of my list of things I like about Digimon all right so uh number one Angela andaconda number two um mCP pod perfect that's my entire experience thus far the soundtrack like for the Digimon movie isn't that bad the artwork I have huge problems with like it just has so many errors that it just not like clearly the person who put that together never saw the movie the one is green what are you

10:08 talking about oh I'm just I'm looking at the poster I have in my room it's just really upsetting me I will take your word for it again on Skype can't see what you can't see what you're saying the the Digimon post the Digimon movie poster just really sits wrong with me would you call it a Digi disaster I hate you so much all right so we get we get these two kids uh an egg comes out of the screen wait no I need to stop one more time I got more stuff about the digi rap oh Jesus he mentions a Digi will I it never explains what that is so I can only assume that someone Digi died and they left all their Digi stuff to the digi kids also they mention in the English version the digi

10:54 past no which collides with the Dig present not about that is there a distinction between between the digi past and the regular past history that happened in the digital world before they came maybe but isn't that doesn't that history coincide with regular history what's the timeline like between the digital world and the real world uh well in the first season um you you going into the digital world it's basically nania uh time stays pretty much still or maybe I think it might move slightly slowly but they're like they're in there like six months and like about maybe an hour has passed in the in the real world it's like hardly any time go passes so the the digi pass is like yesterday yeah I guess that's the

11:39 entirety of it all right you were saying continue all right so first of all they sort of like they have the egg and this thing all right what are we going to do with it um in the Japanese version ta's like let's let's eat it let's eat this let's eat this random thing that came out of the computer this sounds like a good idea and then in the English version It's a um he says oh I I hope this I think this will taste a lot better than you than the egg that you have and then he says let's use it as as a soccer ball yeah in the English one in the America in America land Ty is very obsessed with soccer all of a sudden yeah he he's a he's he plays soccer but it's not mentioned once in the Japanese and in English it's like yo soccer did you know I like soccer I really like soccer hey Ty you like soccer right yeah

12:29 Love Soccer I love soccer so much I talk about it all the time socer I mean like I think he plays football but later on when he's older I mean football as in soccer not football as in AFL stop being British [ __ ] you no I have so many Post-it notes and they're all like sort of coming off the page you wrote them poster notes uh yeah I sort of like did my comparisons with poster notes and did like cross referencing and stuff I WR m in a Word document like a normal person oh jeez I use a phys look you look you can hear my notes I choose not to so that probably sounds really gross on the so the egg randomly hatch they drop the egg and the cat goes crazy after it because M the [ __ ] out of that

13:16 egg that's awesome and then the egg hatches right and I they have pretty different reactions as far as I remember and they look around and like I would freak out as well I'd be concerned with this head-sized tarantula just hatched out of the egg and spat bubbles in my eyes and then ran under the bed I wouldn't be able to sleep there I wouldn't want to be in the house anymore and they're like let's go after it well they're they're young and naive so then I think ta's like oh what is it is it a dog like come on taii what kind of what kind of dog you have you been looking at Japan Japanese dogs so then he starts to think of names he says b b which uh it

14:03 actual name is botmon so he's not that closeup then another one is puke I think and then black Devil he's just saying let's get rid of it where would it sleep and then He suggests maybe just pretending it's a throw pillow which I guess sort of is a more reasonable reaction than like is it a dog it doesn't doesn't look like a dog but is it a dog wait you're saying it is a more reasonable reaction to see a living thing moving around and saying yep that's a pillow than trying to theorize it's a weird kind of animal no no like sort of think thing saying where would it sleep and you know we could tell Mom that it's a throw pillow because it looks like a throw pillow so if we're going to talk about translation the most important piece of translation is what we need to talk about which is the translation differences between the

14:48 whistle and the bubble languages cuz clearly they can understand each other well they're just sort of making noises at each other in the Japanese one in English one they're just doing the Digimon opening yeah I can't believe it the thing does she whistle it first does it bubble it first I think she whistles at it but it's he um but botton's already blown blown Bubbles at taichi because taii threw his goggles at it are are the bubbles made of soap or like digital saliva I always thought that were saliva gross you know how you know how kids sort of blow bubbles with their mouth by like sort of opening their mouth and just sort of trying to get a bubble out with like

15:33 their spit kind of I always thought it was like that but kid like a baby doesn't make his bubbles then invade the city they didn't invade the city they just went out the window and then T and then Ty said uh we'll just tell Mom we're having a b no something about a bubble bath I didn't write that down so then the bird shows up right no there there's more like that I was just going to say how like the the phone rings and he answers it and then like as bottom on stit evolving to coron the uh the whole phone messes up so he can't really hear what's on the phone but it's definitely not someone he knows in the English version he has just

16:19 he has thrown up in sora's hat and she's pissed off with him she annoyed at him actually this is a good point where start introducing characters left and right in the English version who have they' have not been introduced and neither are they shown most of the time very early they introduce Willis they're just like this is they talk about Willis yeah they were trying to tie in the third part of the movie which begs the question who are these people I don't know well you do see them in the in the Japanese version but they're just standing around because they're there and it's very important that they're there and that you see them being there why is that I don't know yet um because seeing but basically I guess

17:05 it's like not that much of a big spoiler but them being there is what made them the chosen children they saw the who whoever saw the battle like becomes a chosen child so you're telling me that in Japan not a single person like over the age of 18 looked out their window to see the giant armored Tyrannosaurus Rex fighting the huge green par that there there's a there's a prophecy and I think only I think at the start the prophecy says seven so seven of the people who saw that went into the chosen but the prophecy changes to another number and another and maybe another chosen child is there but you don't know cuz you're new was it prophecy

17:52 mod I don't think there is a prophecy mon there better be well there's an armag gmon oh it's awful oh this whole thing is awful there's a demon anyway so like when the when he comes back from the phone like he's just he's like oh it it changed and then it poops for some reason I guess they feed the cat's food to the bouncy ball and the cat that's right and the cat's annoyed the cat is should be upset because they just stole its food for a pink bouncy ball and then I think it it says wants to say hello so it like jumps on their face face so taii says Hey Hikari isn't something you eat but in the dub it's stop kissing a sister it makes kissing

18:37 noises I really remember they put in these like really clear like smooching noises it's making it's really gross actually that kids three and then the cat has its Sweet Sweet Revenge as it and I've gotten capitals Bolero intensifies and then on a little poster note I say Fat Boy Slim funk soul brother why why you do this Jeff nemoy why you do this I have the opposite I have in capitals fight the cat with your no arms and then the kids get wrecked by a vengeful cat then if I go to my English one I think I've written down like thank you fun soul brother for saving me from this at least it wasn't the digi WAP that's right massive soundtrack Improvement save me Fat Boy Slim thank you so much so we then introduce that it

19:24 name is corod and then it gives him a friendship poop which I think you talked about the mom comes home and says I have a cake but in the in the dub she says I'm going to give you some liver sticks Ty says the line you gave him your liver sticks didn't you he's in the in the sub he he sniffs and says oh we're having Curry and then in the dub it's oh thank goodness mom burnt the liver stick hi I'm Hikari hi I'm ty cormon says hiari you know he's trying to know the names dub hi K car TI Tai oh that thing's awful stupid pink ball yeah and then the dad comes home in the Japanese version yeah the dad's not

20:10 even in the other one yeah because the dad's drunk and he comes home demanding kisses from his like six-year-old son and the mom's like no don't don't see the kids you're super wasted yeah you smell like alcohol thanks Japan and then and then aamon happens so yeah um so the thing turns into a 7ft tall dinosaur and well fine it was kind of cute before it is weird that concern only really now begins to register for the kids they're looking up at this Velociraptor that is just erupted into the room and they go yeah this isn't quite right oh it's smashing down the wall That's not ideal yeah basically and then Ty says oh

20:58 then the mom says oh I um do you bet you guys better not be breaking a lamp because that's what that sounds like when they smash the whole wall down yeah definitely when they jump out through a window that that's definitely the sound of a lamp so then Ty is alarmed obviously because his sister just left on a [ __ ] on a giant dinosaur but he's not alarmed because of the dinosaur he's alarmed because his sister's with a dinosaur and then in the this is one of the only times where this the um the English version has essential silence and the sub has a line in the sub the mom is saying taii where you going which is you know fair enough that kid just ran out in the

21:45 middle of the like what 8:00 at night 10:00 at night but I it was like 2: a.m. well I should because they were awake and well because there were like no people on the street also it suddenly it very quickly became nighttime because they were having breakfast I think they were playing well they were getting messed up by a cat all day yeah so it jumps out the window and smashes a car and so she's startled slightly she she just doesn't care she's on a velociraptor or a Tyrannosaurus Rex and just smashes through a window Falls 10 stories and she's like whistle but in the English one uh I think no she comments oh no that was my mom's car specifically it wasn't the mom's car

22:31 originally it was just some random one yeah but auman is a spiteful [ __ ] in the English one and specifically goes after their mom's car he doesn't even have to land there he had to jump out from the building to do that what a dick there's a lot of times where in the original there's silence and then there's just in the ja in the English version they just went hey let's let's hey there's silence here that means space for some fantastic pun that we can think of what what do we do what's the joke we can make so I think we should I think we should have a segment that says silence is golden so why did you have to put in a shitty pun perfect so the vending machine one is H so there's the ready vending machine there's silence uh aamon puts his claw

23:17 in a vending machine and in the in the dub instead of Silence um K says oh my mom usually puts money in there but I guess that works too she totally condones robbery in the American one yep but she doesn't condone blowing up a bus so cars keep driving by I don't remember if it shows it as much in the English one but cars are driving by and no one seems to care oh no I I know there is someone who does Care on the English one there's silence in the Japanese version but the when when the car almost hits them in the English version did you see that no I was sleeping but you're the one driving um and then despite missing them and causing no harm whatsoever the dinosaur

24:03 decides to cast Fireball on his favorite enemy Vehicles the bus was it the bus he blows up I thought he blows up the truck that missed them why are you looking at that bus please don't blow it up I know my mom says they're always late but they can't help it don't be a bad boy uh which once again implies that she's not she doesn't mind like murder or crime what she cares about is like she would say they deserved it cuz they're late only if they did it on purpose at that point kill them just blow them up it's fine I like how for some reason in the like they tried to make that all the kids knew each other when they were very

24:49 young because Joe's Joe is on the phone to just it's not really said but he's just on the he's on the phone to someone but in the dub he's talking to Mimi but in the original he's just saying hello it's a bird it's a big one and then um I think he says it became a pancake at one point when aamon gets attacked so yeah the norn light showed back up and it pooped a bird which it is revealed in the English that that is an egg not just random lights in the sky that's fine and Ty says oh gee i' hate to see the the the chicken that laid that egg it's actually like 100 times bigger than the thing that comes out of it it's quite weird but uh I've written down here in the Japanese one uh I swear this thing

25:36 is going to end up being parrotmon in English yep and then the other and then last night at dinner I told you that I it was indeed called parrotmon and I lost any faith I had with this entire show well what else would you call it Big Bird Monon perfect just color it yellow you're there um so the question here I have about this bird is why does it need a card piece they don't really have like anything to protect cuz it looks cool alternatively the helmet is like a responsible choice it casts lightning bolt is it a sorcerer bird sorcerer birdon is something I can get

26:23 behind and then yeah it became a pancake which surprisingly was a Japanese line actually actually yeah but in in the dub he's just talking to Mimi and he's just saying oh um did you see that Mimi and then he I think he's talking to Izzy in another point he says Izzy did you see that and then baby Sora is just there and she's adorable I love Sora when she's a baby then Mimi you know it's Mimi because she's wearing pink and then I have I just have all this all this Bolero in capital letters whenever the Bolero intensifies there's a bit where Ty is talking to someone on the phone in the engl but he doesn't have a phone he's talking he's talking on like the home phone no he's out on the street chasing the dinosaur I don't remember typ being on

27:09 the phone absolutely he was oh anyway my memory is terrible but I'm fairly certain that's happened because that's why I wrote the note about it um but yeah there's just this mild Amusement of all the Japanese people while the dinosaur is shooting Fireballs it's Japan it's a occurrence the lightning monster like they're battling outside rather than you know evacuating like normal people oh I've also got it to hear that the start of the prequel in the in the English version has um has clips of parmon and Greymon fighting like just before it yeah it cold opens into the monster fight because it thinks that the America land audience has a short enough attention span that if they don't see monsters immediately they'll

27:56 think they're in the wrong movie and also have go away Willis there is no Willis written on this a few times and K please shut up mine is who is Willis who is TK I don't know who these people are please stop talking about them so um she begins crying to make the armor T-Rex listen those are the good times and then like Snot comes out of her nose oh brilliant it that's how she communicates with Corum well with border bottom on or whatever it's called with like excretions with bubbles e um the question I have about these kids is they seem very concerned about like the dinosaur shooting the the bird I think it's because they've sort of established that it's slightly not the a

28:43 bad guy like they became friends with it they talked to it before like coron talks like okaman in this doesn't but Kon definitely talks and he's friendly sure but how do they know that like the bird isn't an agent agent of heavenly Justice that's here to murder the dino sinner like it's coming it's coming for this dinosaur there's got to be a reason for it and the kids are like no this is our friend because we had an egg once like half a day ago I think they're a bit confused like they do sort of say oh is this the same is this the same one that we saw is this is this coromon still and I guess they call him coron for a while like I think the whole time in the Japanese version yeah um then uh

29:30 so the thing gets exploded by the lightning that is called Sonic Blast or something Sonic Sonic lightning sonic boom sonic boom uh it's fallen down I've got here it's okay kid just clap your hands and say I believe in Digimon and eventually the dinosaur will wake up which is like a joke and then they pull out the magical healing whistle graymon changes like Greymon doesn't talk in the original but in the dub and and then Ty says oh a sign of friendship but in the dub he says I'm gayon now and Ty said you can be whoever you want big guy well I know I've always had a bit of a tit too if I was a giant armored dinosaur I feel like I'd be able to pick my own name as well and no one

30:16 would be able to tell me otherwise or I would set them on fire so how does the whistle wake him up I'm guessing it like it it works on Tai oh because it Wes people up oh that's the that's the checkov gun loud and high pitched that's the checkov gun of the whole movie I couldn't believe I can't believe that I thought it was like antivirus sound waves no but to be fair like maybe it's kind of like in a way sort of similar to a dog wh also anyway the dinosaur regardless of why it wakes up seems super cranky I'm surprised it doesn't just murder them because it can just with a swipe and then they fight and they just cuts just cuts no they like they explode each other and then they just I guess go back to where they came from or both die I

31:03 think they might have both died right it doesn't just cut yeah they they fight and then they disappear um and once again it's Japan so see people see the street has been exploded and they're like H it's another normal day in Japan land taiichi is like for me it was Tuesday that was the Japanese one anyway steak oh at the end they mention Willis again yeah I still don't know who that is you you will understand and will be relevant for all of 20 minutes of your life uh there's a bit in the English one where she asks him before the fight ends don't you want to play Horsey with me

31:50 anymore oh I didn't I didn't even write that down I oh yeah no I did graymon yeah graymon don't you want to play Horsey anymore but she seemed like pretty not happy with playing horsey to begin with she she went up and down about it she was like first of all yeah I'm riding this Digimon and then she's like [ __ ] it's breaking stuff not my mom's car then free soda now I'm okay because you can win kids over with candy whether you're a a creepy guy or a dinosaur and then you know then it seemed upset later on don't blow up that bus please don't be a bad boy i s don't know who Willis is it never tells us well to to be fair in the the English version is meant to be the three movies

32:35 put into one so the English version sort of talks about characters that are in later on they have to they introduce a character that comes in the third one that they only in the Japanese version they only meet him in the third movie but it's sort of they sort of know him before like kir apparently knows him before but not in the Japanese version so it the existence of Willis seems kind of forced in the English version what you talking about about Willis please stop talking about Willis car also krie please stop talking well I wrote things that are AR un that are unnecessary Angela Monon Digi RP Willis and krie talking you you took out two of

33:21 my favorite you know what Digi rap I honestly think makes this cuz it's one of the only things I remember from when I was a kid but Jay Jay it's a Digi disaster uh yeah I keep asking like who is Joe who who is Sora who are all these people well they're definitely there like taku and Matt and um Mimi and Joe and Sora they're there but they're not told by names they're just their sort of as I said before it's a it's a promo for the actual Series so you're going to meet these characters so they're just sort of shown like slight Snippets baby Sora is is adorable and I just have it written over all my things baby Sora can you please be my my child what were your first impressions of the um of the prequel so my

34:09 impressions of the prequel were what's going on I don't understand why isn't anyone acting like a normal person did that dinosaur just murder several people I don't know what's happening no one seems to care about the Kaiju fight in Tokyo I have no clue what's going on who were all these people so in the Japanese version obviously it was add the night before the the first episode ad but in the English version it was AED basically for the end of the second season so did you feel like that was a better better time to release it or did you think that it was better as a prequel honestly I feel like it begs so many questions in in its own way that while we're going to get into it episode

34:55 one is really wacky a lot of weird stuff happens but it has its own internal logic but the movie taking place in the real world is so weird and alien that I think if it came out like a year if I'd been watching Digimon for a while I'd have less questions but right my if my cold opening is like these kids staring at these monsters and being like Yep this is normal I think that's really weird yeah I think there's there's a line in the dub in season one that's just like oh did you see those monsters isn't that a [ __ ] strange and then he says oh yeah we're in Japan they just like oh yeah that's right and they just sort of shrug it off and they just go about their day good enough and uh but yeah so in the um Japanese version

35:41 there's something that's slightly like SPO in a way spoiled but not really about a character that's in that that doesn't show up until EP like episode 20 or so yeah and we don't really know that they are chosen until episode like 30 or 40 is it Ki it might be well she was riding a dinosaur yep if I was writing a dinosaur I would assume I'd be a chosen of Prophecy as well no they're PL they're not they're playing horsey if I was playing horsey with the dinosaur I would also be a pro chosen of the prophecy a prophecy M

36:28 prophecy Mon's the best make it a thing it's not hard just add mon to the end whatever you want is that your Digimon OC no my Digimon OC was free stuff Monon oh yeah that's right you can have two Digimon no I have three and there's MC P podon okay he just battle raps like John Cena all right so want to go to the first episode doctor of thugonomics Spawn so yes we have episode one of Disney Mod Adventure which is a drift the Island of Adventure in the Japanese which I love I love that so much I like that Japanese openings they're all very sort of they give you an idea what's happening and sometimes they they spoil something that's Japanese though in

37:13 Dragon Ball Z they famously near the end of the Frieza Saga um to eliminate all tension if you recall they used to say like next time on Dragon Ball Z and then they showed you the title and it said free are defeated they do that they do that indim one like the a character is like yeah but for now the um the brave Warrior X dies and you don't quite know that he's GNA die but he dies and then that actually leads to a character having like a mental breakdown and like gets depression and it sounds heavy I want to watch that yeah as I always say Digimon Tamers is super heavy stuff like well Digimon Adventures I think is

37:59 good and OT is like O2 is pretty great too I think Tamers is the best and is probably aimed at a slightly older audience I've watched it with my mom and my mom really likes it like it just has some heavier themes than Children's shows pretty good and yeah so we got all the characters are introduced I've written all their names down so I could remember them because I wouldn't otherwise cuz they all look like generic anime protagonists to me yeah you can basically pick which ones are the uh the main characters in this oh the main character game is very strong with Digimon um Joe no Joe Joe though he looks a bit normal no he's wearing glasses though he's a main character oh

38:46 yes so I honestly think the with the show that the intro gives a little bit much away because I think I would have been really blown away if I hadn't seen the boxing Cactus and then it showed up as a surprise it does it does also spoil the when Hikari comes in I think it shows her with her Digimon and the digimon's evolution in like the episode that you find out that she's the digi Destin too so yeah intros spoilers so in the the first episode the narrator is not Tai narrator is talking about all these weird things in the weather that's happening like places are cold dry places are wet wet places are dry like just to say you know

39:31 something something's going wrong in the world and I wonder I wonder what it is and in the in the dub taiha is saying yeah this this place got flooded with Muddy Water like chocolate sauce and then he starts to introduce the characters apparently Matt's just too cool and then Sora is okay for a girl no mat wasn't Matt was like his hair is cool I guess I think no I think he says Matt is just too cool and then but in the in the Japanese version he um the narrator is still narrating and he's saying oh these are their ages sorai and mat in the fifth grade Izzy and Mimi in the fourth grade

40:17 TK is in the second grade and Joe is in the sixth grade and uh oh yeah and then in English one they're like Izzy he should have gone to computer Camp what a nerd yeah Mimi her favorite color is pink it's pink because she's a girl did you know that she Joe Joe Joe if you spoke to Joe he'll probably wet himself yep it's Joe he will wet his pants keeto what a hero Joe best character oh he's great he he's like immediately my favorite character he's like definitely the most like reasonable like oh God there is a thing on me I don't know what it is why is everyone okay with this because he he brings up a really good point right at the beginning which is where are all the adults on this summer camp these all these kids are just out unsupervised in

41:03 the snow I mean I guess they didn't know the snow was coming but they're still unsupervised and he's like where are they I don't know and no one else seems to care also can we talk about something that that's that is really important to me what it's summer why are they all wearing gloves I don't think about that at all in summer the last thing I want to wear is gloves it's possible they saw the snow outside and they said you know what I'm wearing a t-shirt and shorts that's fine but they Contin to wear gloves but I really need gloves yeah they all wear gloves I think except for Joe again being reasonable and I think TK doesn't as well uh so yeah it starts snowing and they they see the Northern Lights and and and Matt says the best line in the in the episode

41:48 which is the sky is like short Circ thing and then the other one he has an even better line cuz it it makes him like him about as much as Joe which is like I don't think it'd be cool if we got sick yeah I have I have that written down right under the sky short circuiting um oh I forgot that Izzy was in uh inside and his internet didn't work yeah because of his infrared connection I looked it up that's a real thing I know it's a real thing I didn't know that it's it's a it's a n it's a kind of like an 1999 sort of 2000 sort of thing and then uh Izzy pulls out the Mad Aurora Borealis facts because he's a nerd get it get it in the Japanese version he says oh it can't be or oralis because we're in Japan I think it's Sora

42:33 that actually says it's or or orales and Izzy says no and then Sky lasers blast game boys at them yeah I is this is this normal yeah it's Japan okay well they all they all seem pretty like they seem sort of oh what's this but not like terrified like I think Joe and again Joe and Mimi being the most realistic go oh there's a thing that's scary that should stop oh you what that's why Sora is wearing a helmet because she's worried about Sky lasers shooting game boys you get in she saw it coming like the Game Boy would be fine like after it you know hits the Earth but you wouldn't be then they land Izzy picks one up and in the

43:21 Japanese he's like is it a pager which is a reference that'll never be dated but in the English he's like huh I guess it's not meteors I I can't get over he just staring at this this like Game Boy Pocket like huh I don't think this is an asteroid guys so then they go to the digi World water the Middle Eastern tidle waves come for them yeah but they're not chocolate sauce it's true cuz they they need to travel all the way around and pick up the Japanese chocolate sauce first that blue syrup that they put that tastes like the bubble the bubble gum blue syrup I don't know what you're talking about at all I just bath or you the color of

44:06 blue no the the blue okay you know the you know the blue that they put in ice cream guys the blue no the BL the taste of blue the blue it's the blue it's it's blue blue help it's the it's blue and it goes on like the mcfl McDonald's and they put it in like the blue Slurpees it's blue I don't know your macaroo Donado blue it tastes like blue and it's but it's meant to be like it's meant to be blueberry but it tastes like bubblegum but it tastes like blue okay fine what is it that's the color oh okay sure it's blue I believe you uh and then it's Bloon oh no Izzy

44:54 calls the things miniature remote digital apparatuses which is that written down yeah it is cuz it's a really nice way of them saying absolutely nothing yeah uh and in the English Mimi like yells about how she regrets being hit by this tsunami portal she's like no she should have gone to cheerleading camp Jay that's the one I should have gone to cheerleading camp which isn't mentioned at all in the Japanese version yeah that's a moment of silence I think that they just fill for nothing yeah they're all like screaming I think the Japanese version and in the dub they decide hey you know what's you know what's better than screaming this pink girl's definitely a cheerleader right she looks pretty girly cheerleader cheerleader when they land in the English they for whatever this is not even a translation thing they just start

45:40 adding weird sound effects like Po do they fall around everywhere yeah because it's it's to signify digital is it um I I assumed so oh I didn't think that at all I just thought it's because the English audiences would get bored if they weren't you know doing funny noises every 6 seconds no I I just thought it was to signify they're going into a world that's digital they are going digital completely digital everything's digital let's all get digital let's get digy let's get digy with it so then he meets cormont again the pink ball thing and he doesn't know who he is he can't remember so he's staring at this pink ball with teeth and

46:25 my instant reaction is you met one of these it talked it blew up the city you should remember it that is a large part of your childhood yeah I would I would remember that to be fair and yeah he just never he never remembers the traumatic thing from his childhood with djp pod and the healing whistle but at least in the English He theorizes that he's having like a camp food hallucination yeah so at least in that one I understand where he's coming from of like I don't know what's happening so but I'm going to accept it because maybe it's not real the other one is just like Yep this is happening I don't get it but it's happening then we're introduced to our lovely talking pink condom it name is it name is apparently motimon uh welcome condom welcome to the

47:14 show uh instantly much preferred to the pink ball even yes because it kisser oh the kissing noises were gross oh it wasn't good um and I don't remember Tai climbs up a tree which is very a very brave thing for 11-year-old to do he climbs up this fairly Tall Tree he was up a tree at the beginning of the show yeah I know but this that tree seemed a lot smaller this tree is like very tall it establishes him as tree climbing M monkey M uh then let's see uh file Island Jewel of the

47:59 seven sea drives that joke only works written down um and then he sees this red thing in the distance it is named kuwagamon apparently but I think that name sucks so I'm renaming him the Red Baron because he makes um World War I biplane noises in the Japanese so welcome red baronmon welcome to the show uh he's instantly the most interesting thing on screen he's pretty cool looking like as a like looking from a design point of view it's pretty like I I I like the design of the Digimon like the the champion pretty well designed yeah and well it BS a question of what's his motivation here he's instantly trying to attack them and he doesn't talk even though we've

48:45 established that they do talk at this stage arguably I think it's um I I always thought they didn't they didn't talk if they were unintelligent like they're less sen sentient than the other ones they're sort of like they just oh that's new I'm going to attack it like sort of if you go to a if you see a big animal in the wild it's prob it might attack you if it's like a if it's a predator but being aggressive like generally doesn't make sense so it's either being territorial probably territorial well the other one is it trying to digi eat them it's Digi eting them but if you Digi eat something is it like going into your recycling bin which would be a stomach and just sits there while you break it down into bites into Digi poo oh it's weird what do they poop is it

49:31 digital poop all right and then then coron blows bubbles at kagon yeah he gets super wrecked by the red barer yeah badass he says I was saved because of you which not really like he wasn't really that saved he just sort of moved out of the way yeah next they go into a tree to to hide from kagon in the tree and then a voice says you can come out now and then we see it's okay for a girl Sora and then we see that she also has a digimon inched to meet you friends of Sora you you forgot when Ty calls it a radish oh yeah no they see Matt and Teo and that's and that's when sunon is adorable in the English one they all

50:17 seem way more horror well in both of them but they see way more horrified to see TK than they do to see this weird thing with teeth I think it's just I think it's just Tok that they're saying they're like ah why are you so okay with this thing with the teeth like I don't understand I just have capitals all over this page tokemon what are you doing please close your mouth I'm I'm serious please close your mouth and then Matt shows up in the English and Ty KS is really disappointed like no yeah and then he calls him a self-proclaimed cool guy and I'm pretty sure the only person who has called Matt cool is Ty he says oh Matt's just too cool and then he goes yep he's a self-proclaimed cool guy and then the British fuzzball sure I'm pretty sure

51:04 Digi potify made that made that connection as well then the British the British orange fuzzball is like you guys seem Pleasant and then in the Japanese Joe Runs Out both of he runs out screaming as the only normal person to like react in a reasonable way when there's a demonic seal trying to chase after him and touch his body yeah and Joe proceeds to immediately call everyone out everyone out in the English being like this is weird guys why aren't you reacting more like me cuz I would these like little pink demon things are chasing around there's a pink condom trying to feed you food you don't know where that's been can you eat Digi food of course you

51:51 can eat digy food digy tasty dig delicious I want to see the digi Hill's kitchen with Digi Gordon Ramsey that's the one no Digi gmon his name is gmon gmon Ramsay this Digi chicken is so undercooked it still crosses the digi Road this [ __ ] toon is undercooked oh gross that's terrible they mentioned there's a weird line in English a really weird line where they say TK isn't as small as he looks which begs the question Prett sure he is of well he looks small so he must be exactly as small as he looks so what are they talking about like are they saying his something else isn't small I think I think TK is

52:38 just sort of he's a second grader guys I think I think he just has an inferiority complex because he's like he's around all these much older people like and I mean three like three two years isn't that much of a big age grap here but like as as adults three years isn't a big age Gap when you're a kid that's like that's like significant like the other kids are above 10 and he's like he's eight yeah that's pretty significant like they're at the end of of primary school and here's at the start like three years now like if I'm hanging out with a someone who's three years younger they're still like you know 19 or or 18 or something so it's like yeah so kagon comes up and they they're they're all like let let's attack him and startop blowing bubbles oh you forgot before that in English they they say where's me oh she's

53:25 probably off picking flowers yeah and then and then Joe in the Japanese version I think it is says I have something for you no Joe Joe goes my mom is going to want a complete and total refund yeah so in the Japanese version he says Hey where's Mimi I have something to give her and and then I wrote in brackets I bet you Jude [Laughter] Joe but yeah so Sora doesn't know Mimi's name and she just calls her where's the girl with the funny pink hat just call her the girl in pink it's her entire body the pink one um and then yeah they they do find her she starts running away she's holding her own Digimon which she seems totally fine with and uh they proceed with my

54:11 favorite battle strategy I've ever seen which is throw the babies at the giant monster well they don't want to they just sort of say oh are you sure you want to attack and they're like yes I want to and then tokemon just starts chomping a with his horrific teeth but that's the point I I would have let go because that's terrifying is I wonder if the seal is slimy like I wouldn't have held on to that one um but yes it's adorable so the sound battle battle strategy of throwing babies at the enemy I mean look if I was fighing someone and they threw babies at me I think I'd give up pretty pretty quickly yeah I wouldn't be able to handle it um they do that both in English whatever uh one of them in English mentions that they should get bug spray

54:56 which you know what they're all on summer camp I would have been shocked if they had it would that work on a giant I guess if you they might not have the same biology if it was Digi bug spray then Godzilla baronmon would have been [ __ ] um then uh yeah then the wild pins returns and the Wild and the throwing the baby the the baby catapult strategy Contin to not work um then all the Digimon jump out of the hands to go evolve I guess and there's this weird like two seconds focus on each one as they go

55:41 like yeah yeah as I these weird straining sounds uh and then they evolve for a long time yeah because they have to like learn each one of their new name so yeah it's actually 36 seconds of Evolutions wow you wrote that down I did and I'm the one who's obsessed with Digimon yeah and then we got palmon instead of NTS seon I think that's the only one I got I just found out about this the other um the other week and I feel quite dumb just realizing it but palmon is palmon because it's as in a palm tree and it's on

56:28 yeahum parum that's super stupid so now we've got pomon in the Japanese version and bomon in the uh in the English who turns from a plant which sort of makes no sense but at least they have the same color is that because in um in English they the kids would laugh at the word p probably I mean you're you're gy right the attacks will change um you begin with uh the Japanese attacks of petite Thunder and baby flame which strike fear into the hearts of the enemy absolutely well I like that electro shocker you know why I like the electro shocker why it's pretty wizard oh God that was awful I think I wrote that one down somewhere

57:13 yep that if I ever meet Jeff nemoy I want to ask him hello yes what does pretty wi pretty wizard mean uh it's a wizard from like Hogwarts who looks nice I guess um and then in English they actually get really cool names like the super shocker and PE pepper breath is kind of boring but the blue Blaster and spiral twister boom bubble though instead of airshot airshot becoming boom bubble boom it sounds better than the entire other name and I'm willing to give it a pass what about what about if it was just boom what I realized what I realized was that the otter thing whatever it name is Dion whatever sure um never has an attack it just rolls around on the ground perfect and then

57:58 yeah you get them falling off the cliff and you get I I really wanted a uh you know the the narator be like and then the Duke boy has found himself falling out a cliff with ain't no net to catch him find out next time on Dragon Ball Z and we have the narrator in the Japanese version and Tai again and then for some reason I've R I've ridden shortest summer vacation I think that's because the narrator says that I'm like oh that that's a bit Grim like they're all yep B end what Adventure um it ends there they die because guess what they're falling off a cliff perfect that's how I want my Digimon to end uh so so then we have a really I really like the ending it's

58:44 sung by I I MAA and she's actually Mimi's voice actress I did you watch the ending I did and I remember it being okay and I was like this is this is boring because I don't understand Japanese at all they had subtitles but they were meaningless like just like the ones at the beginning of the show um I sang along so what I mostly paid attention to was the name of the next episode which was explosive Evolution gon which you know spoilers again did you know that he's going to evolve next next episode here you go the English one isn't that much better it's the birth of graymon it's true it's pretty bad as well um in

59:29 my version of the English one I didn't have any music in the credits it just had an ad for Disney Tunes yeah I I saw that too okay so that's hard to compare the without that it's just Digimon but without any it's sort of sped up and it doesn't have uh any any lyrics that sucks if I'm not hearing djp pod then what am I doing here anyway so what you think the uh first episode so this is a lot better than the movie it is significantly better because there's context for the monsters yeah it's really weird that the space lasers came down and gave them game boys that allowed them or blackberries that allowed them to get

1:00:14 attacked by a tidal wave if you connect all those together but once you're there and the sky is all pink and green and you've got the Red Baron flying around being Godzilla it kind of all makes a lot more sense and so I'm willing to suspend disbelief on that a lot more um I know all the kids are now so they're not just randomly talking about people I've never seen before uh and yeah the kids aren't garbage for the most part Tai's pretty garbage because he's the narrator in the English and he's being a [ __ ] but and Ty seems pretty sassy in the in the English version I mean when he meets coron he's um in the in the first episode he say says does coron mean floating head yeah floating headon would have been a way better name actually but he doesn't

1:01:00 float he he bounc he bounces so wouldn't that be coromon means bouncing head but instead it's floating head it's not like hovering or anything it's disembodied either way so what did you think about the music honestly I didn't notice a difference but that's that's on me uh is there much of a difference cuz I don't remember well when the when they're dig evolving it they play they plays a song that's called Braveheart and it's sung by the per the uh the same artist who did the the opening which is called Butterfly Come A lady come come a baby you're my butterfly sugar baby sure I'm not allowed to sing that around Mitch but do it anyway

1:01:47 um and yeah so I thought this episode was okay yeah it's still Digimon so it's on a scale of one to to Digimon so it's a low scale but it's okay it's you know it set things up it gave us an idea of these characters even though they're stupid uh I I had a bit of a problem with some of the the lines in the dub like I didn't the okay for a girl part just sits really wrong with me like I don't know it's like oh that person would be much cooler if you know they weren't a girl that line is really weird because there she's not the only girl in the group which implies that Sora is okay for a girl Mimi on the other hand is not okay Mimi on the other hand

1:02:32 garbage no is pink yep she just and she's picking flowers I guess you can guess what her color I bet you can guess what her favorite color is but she should have gone to cheerleading camp Oh my God it's next time you be like why weren't you baking cookies instead of being out there in the Title Wave all right so we've covered both episodes for this week next week week we will cover Evolution explosive gmon I didn't get that right explosive Evolution grammon and the birth of gmon and whatever the thing after that is well the English um title for the the third episode is just called guron great that gives me context for what happens in the episode yep what the first few episodes are so next time

1:03:18 we'll be watching uh the birth of grammon and guron so for all of two listeners I guess you can watch it too hey my dad follows me on Twitter follows the Lost in Translation on Twitter I I just hope there are more listeners than there are people on the show uh that'll do it yeah I my mom will probably listen so that's two people perfect we did it congratulations we climbed the whole the whole viewer Mountain the whole Dy Mountain I've been your host may all right and I'd like to point out that I am editing this so I'm going to remove anything negative Jay has to say about Digimon so uh I don't have a co-host it's just here one person
