I am gonna be a weeb and translate what the JP dubbed it to. And no, I'm not perfect. This is just to the best of my weeb abilities. Anakin: I don't want to hear any more about Obi-Wan. The Jedi betrayed me. You wouldn't either. Padme: I do not know you anymore. Anakin... you're tearing me apart. I can't go down this path you went down. Anakin: Because of Obi-Wan? Padme: No, because of what you have done. What you are planning. Stop. Come back with me. I love you. Anakin: Don't you lie! Padme: No. Anakin: Traitor! You brought him here to kill me! Padme: No! Obi-Wan: Let her go! Enough! Let her go! Anakin: You got her to betray me! Obi-Wan: You have done that yourself. Anakin: I won't let you take her from me! Obi-Wan: Your anger and lust for power have already achieved that. You have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind... until you have become the adversary you swore to defeat. Anakin: Spare me your lectures. I have already seen through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side unlike you. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire. Obi-Wan: Your new empire? Anakin: Don't make me kill you. Obi-Wan: I swore my allegiance to the republic, TO DEMOCRACY! Anakin: If you are not an ally, then you are my nemesis. Obi-Wan: Only Siths deal in absolutes. I will do what I must. Anakin: Of course you will. *scene cuts* Obi-Wan: I have let you down, Anakin. I failed you. Anakin: If I only have known that the Jedi were plotting to take over. Obi-Wan: Anakin, Chanceller Palpatine is evil. Anakin: No, from my perspective it's the Jedi who are evil. Obi-Wan: You are far lost! Anakin: Master, this is your end. Obi-Wan: You have lost! I have the high ground! Anakin: Do not underestimate my power! Obi-Wan: Don't try it. You were the chosen one! You were supposed to destroy the Sith and yet you joined them. To bring balance to the force and not leave it in darkness. Anakin: I HATE YOU! Obi-Wan: I thought you were my little brother. I loved you.

[@BenRover2961]

@@GunNr- yep, in real accounts, samurai's are the second most dishonorable with the monks being the first. a lot of betrayal are associated with opposite clans or betraying their lord. monks often defied diplomacy deals because they're "above" feudal laws and their buddhism is sacred (especially the ikko ikki monks). it's ironic that the ninja's in history are the most "honorable" since they act as mercenaries and pledged more in their life to their lord/employer rather than the retainers. one famous account is the ninja that protected nobunaga in an ambush by firing a musket to the other ninja after nobunaga retreated and outnumbered in the battle with the takeda.

Some of the lines dont hit as hard as the og english, but they chose a perfect VA for anakin. Really nails his inflections and such

[@ReonMagnum]

Yes, but I wish Anakin didn't use *"boku"* _(mainly used by boys)_ , but *"ore"* _(mainly used by late teens and men)_ when referring to himself. Especially since he's 21 years old in ROTS, and not a kid anymore.

[@foreignroninl1555]

@@ReonMagnum That and from what I’ve heard, “ore” is a less formal way of saying “I” when compared to the more polite “boku,” and can even make someone sound rather arrogant in certain contexts. And Anakin is anything but humble and formal for the majority of the time that you see him.

[@ReonMagnum]

@@foreignroninl1555 Yes, that's why in Rurouni Kenshin, Kenshin refers to himself as "ore" when he's really angry. Normally he uses "sessha", which is a formal pronoun the Samurai use.

[@foreignroninl1555]

@@ReonMagnum Make sense given the differences between Kenshin's normal personality and that of his Battosai mode.

[@foreignroninl1555]

Also on that note, I can't help but wonder what it would be like if Kenshin was a Star Wars character. He'd probably be a former dark jedi assassin who joined the Jedi Order in an attempt to escape his former life, but he frequently finds himself in situations where he's on the verge of regressing fully into his old personality and becoming consumed by the Dark Side of the Force. As for translating his Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu kenjutsu over to the different forms of lightsaber combat, I haven't seen enough of his fighting style to make a proper assessment, but I know that the supplemental art of Trakata could be used in place of his training in Battojutsu.

[@PunishedPrince]

Let me explain why that is a problem. Anime is treated as something that’s inherently low quality. So saying it’s best to watch it as an anime is really an insult to the medium. It’s saying the prequels are bad and anime is bad and if it’s inherently bad it’s a shield from criticism. Netflix has been using it to avoid criticism for their awful cartoons for years by calling castelvania and dragons dogma anime. And is inherently You see it a lot in video game spaces. No recognizably Japanese game gets widespread praise it’s called anime and shoved to the side for western games. Only Mario, Zelda and dark souls get taken seriously for having aesthetic that don’t immediately show that they are Japanese

[@drlca6601]

@@PunishedPrince The OP statement isn't an indication of quality, merely that Japanese suits the style of dialogue used in this film, which seems more stilted in English to many. In contrast, the Japanese delivery flows much better with the simplistic script.

People who watch anime should explicitly push for Japanese voice acting in more than anime.

[@Irishfatboy]

The new Star Wars prequel anime looks great

*Jump down the roof* Konichiwa, there G. Grievous: Obi-wan Shinobi!

The Japanese version always hits harder!

[@mercenarygundam1487]

Ashiya Douman= Obi Wan Waver Velvet= Anakin Jeanne D' Arc= Padme I didn't know FGO had a Star Wars spin off.

[@sawjhtheian6651]

Right Was wondering why Padme sounded familiar

[@gamechanger8908]

I think Zhuge Liang has been watching too much Star Wars.

Thank you sooooo much for uploading this!!!!! I loooove Japanese language, but the informal language.

So much emotion from the voice actor

[@shxrtcake5423]

I think this is better then the orginal english version

[@alchemist6819]

I don't think so

[@Schwoomy]

I think it's interesting because of the massive influence samurai movies had on star wars

Just that one "I hate you" was better with Hayden...

[@oimeunomeevitorr]

That's my second favorite video thanks

[@wah-gb5xe]

i havent seen the original rots in AWHILE, and i also do not speak japanese, but my own opinions: i prefer how desperate and delusional hayden sounds in the pre-fight dialogue. daisuke has a rougher? deeper? voice than him, which makes him sounds (to me) a lot more sure in his “i have brought freedom justice whatever to my new empire” line. though, in the lava surfing scene, i love how emphatic he is there. obi-wan was a huge surprise, i feel like his voice would fit qui-gon! though, i suppose he is anakin’s “qui-gon”, but morikawa is quite different from ewan. very interesting. his voice is a lot deeper than this anakin, too, so the contrast is quite fun. he sounds much harsher in some places where ewan sounded more saddened (IT’S OVER, ANAKIN, I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND.). the differences in meaning in the lines is really fun. bottom line is, i guess i have to watch the prequels in japanese before i do them in english LMAO

THIS IS AMAZING!!!

[@DarkTider]

Obi-wans voice in japanese is EPIC! Also, im noticing I like some of the japanese dialogue a lot more than the original one! (1:30 he says the word "heart", no "mind", so it seems like the japanese version is "he has twisted your heart", which seems a lot more impactful)

[@hitsurei]

kokoro could also be used for your mind. Like an old saying ''Your heart dictates your thoughts''. (心の沈む考えがある)

I now know why people are so passionate about subs over dubs in anime. Japanese voice actors are just the best. I would totally watch this whole movie in Japanese with English subs, the voice acting is just spot on!

Nah the Japanese VA just like to scream a lot, like frustrated elder people. It got annoying

[@lukescrew1981]

[@theflamingfreezer8478]

And now you should know that Japanese voice acting doesn't even need to be in media that are native to Japan to sound as good as it does. The real question is, should English voice acting have a place even in Western media, let alone in anime?

[@rc59191]

Star Wars is perfect anime material minus that weird one Disney did. A Gundam Wing style anime about TIE Fighter and X Wing pilots would be so friggen cool.

[@whathell6t]

@RC 591 It’s already done. A Gundam/Macross/VOTOM style of Stars Wars: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn_CdINqiNqiirc Seriously, it’s not a joke. Watch the whole short film.

[@faith4657]

And this is one of those times where I wish George Lucas didn't sell Star wars like the movies already really good because I kind of praised and it would have loved if people got around to the prequels just as much as they loved the originals and if they did just imagine if you put this s*** on anime my God this s*** will be pumping

Daisuke Namikawa was really the perfect choice for Anakin. I love him in the Garo anime and I’m loving him here!
