Last Celebration posted:Reminder that Flashy Flash didn’t choose his dumb hero name, he just got the short end of the stick like Glasses and Caped Baldy. Pretty sure he did. As he is from the same place as Speed of Sound Sonic and those two new monster ninja Gale Wind, and Hellfire Flame. All of them have stupid redundant names.

I couldn't tell what was inside Royal Ripper's bandages? Just hair? I don't remember that being a thing in the original version.

I just figured it meant he was a nasty, nasty hair monster but it could be a hint of something

Garou immediately went to eat the mooks he slaughtered afterwards, so I figured he was just disgusted that whatever nasty hair was inside Ripper wasn't edible.

I can never tell if people are joking when they say "common rider", they're just dictating to their phone, they actually think it's "common rider", or it's not actually "kamen rider" and I'm wrong. Someone set me straight pls

Common Rider is a good homophone pun on Kamen Rider and many consider it a better localization than Licenseless Rider, which is a more direct but less flavorful translation of what his name is in Japanese, which is Mumen Rider, itself clearly a pun on Kamen Rider.

Calling him Mumen Rider in the dub is the worst option though.

The character's name in Japanese is "Mumen Rider," which is a pun on "Kamen Rider." Fan translations render it "Licenseless Rider," which is a literal rendition. In this thread there are those who suggest and prefer that it be translated as "Common Rider," which preserves the pun and communicates an important aspect of his character, at the cost of clarity about why he rides a bicycle.

To be fair with Mumen, we call Kamen Rider the franchise as... Kamen Rider, rather than Masked Rider. I do agree Common Rider is a very pro name, but Mumen Rider has some reason to be left untranslated, I feel.

LightningKimba posted:To be fair with Mumen, we call Kamen Rider the franchise as... Kamen Rider, rather than Masked Rider. Leaving "Mumen Rider" untranslated is unnecessarily obtuse to no reason, since the Kamen Rider is an incredibly niche series outside of Japan. It doesn't even preserve the wordplay; I can't imagine most western Kamen Rider fans are fluent enough in Japanese to know what "mumen" means.

I think it's fine to lose the pun name since it's more of a visual gag, anyway. Like, I never understood what Licenseless Rider was supposed to mean, either, and I still thought his scenes were great.

I think I was somewhere between "ONE is a capable writer willing to produce characters who are both good boys but also law breakers" and "being a hero means having the courage to disobey the law when it's the right thing to do" before I was made aware of my error.

Like I dont think Japan is some sort of regulatory hellhole and you have to get licenced just to put your feet on the pedals, the licence would have just been for operating bikes on major roads or something.
