His Master's Voice
Dagomon No Yobigoe
|
Written by Nimoy, Buccholz, and Craig Doyle. Yes, this is the infamous episode where, in the dub, T.K. and Kari claim to care about each other. This is purely a dub invention; it doesn't happen in the original. Speaking of, this is one of the episodes where I really, really hate Saban. Throughout the entire episode, Hikari is pretty much horrified by what's happening and Saban continuously sticks jokes where they don't belong. Seriously, switching from Hikari's absolutely terror in the hallway to "Would the student who threw the donut in pool come to the office" and "Your locker is missing" crap? The music is just terrible. They might as well have had polka playing while Hikari was being shifted to the other side. Updated 13 and 14 October 2005: Many dialogue updates have been submitted by Tsutomu Shimbo. Thanks! |

The narrator is speaking. Dude Over The P.A.: "Students late to first period will be responsible for cleaning the bubble gum from under the desks after school. Come on, kids! Chop chop!" The students on time to first period will be responsible for putting the gum there. The narrator is still speaking. Yolei: "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed!" Cody: "No kidding!" He's still speaking. Kari: (thinking) "Get yourself together, it was just a dream." T.K.: "There's Kari! I wonder what she got on question three?" Um... what? This makes no sense, the school day hasn't started yet. X_x Hikari: "Big brother! *sees it's Takeru* Oh, good morning!" Kari: "Stay away! *sees it's T.K.* Oh, T.K. Sorry." No, Hikari isn't supposed to be paranoid. Daisuke: "Hurry! We're going to be late!" Davis: "Come on, guys, you heard the principal! You don't want to scrape gum, do you?" Damn, did you hear that bell? It rang for a long time. In the original, the bell did ring throughout the scene, but school bells in Japan are carillon chimes. silence Davis: "Last one in has to eat the old gum!" XD Patamon remarks that school looks like fun. This thereby proves that Patamon is insane. It was Patamon who brought up that Hikari was in low spirits in the original. He didn't say that school looked like fun. Tailmon wasn't actually talking about Hikari, either; she was talking about how the Digimon are always nervous, while the Chosen Children act as if everything is normal. Patamon asks her what's wrong, she replies that it's nothing and then says that Hikari's been sensing something. Patamon asked what it is, Tailmon says that she doesn't know. Tailmon: "Tomorrow we'll see. Later." Gatomon: "Maybe I'm just imagining it. Let's go raid the cafeteria!" silence Teacher: "Now, as you can see, x equals y, y equals 14, and lickity-split - q equals 36. Now, isn't that... exciting?" I'm enthralled. Especially since the teacher isn't writing any math on the chalkboard. silence T.K.: "What's more boring? Paint drying or math?" silence Kari: "This is bizarre!" "I know my math scores have been a little foggy lately, but this is ridiculous!" "Did someone flood the boys bathroom again?" "Wait. Where am I? T.K? Gatomon? Yolei? Tai!" In the original, there's only silence from Kari and her visions are really creepy and suspenseful. In the dub, she keeps yammering on in her mind and it takes away from the real horror of the situation -- not to mention the music is just terrible. |

Some scenes are chopped up and moved around. In the original, Takeru sees her becoming distorted. He stands up and yell "Hikarichan!" In the dub, Hikari is becoming distorted, and there's a shot of Takeru watching her. Then it switches back to Hikari inside her desk-in-the-water thing saying "Somebody help me!" (which she doesn't shout in the original) and Takeru gets up and yells "Kari!" Useless edits. 9_9 [Updated: 21 November 2005: Another update submitted by Tsutomu Shimbo.] |

Hikari: "I'm just a bit tired. I have to get through it." Kari: "It's no big deal. Blame it on the Algebra. It was so boring you fell asleep and dreamt you were in the ocean! That's it. I'm not going crazy." Except you weren't in Algebra class. From looking at the board, it looked like they were learning Geography. Kari: "Hello? Is anybody there? Davis? Is that you? You win Davis, I'm scared now!" Originally silence. silence Principal: "May I have your attention: would the student who put the jelly donut in the swimming pool please report to the office?" Jelly donut? That stupid punk. It's candy bars, not donuts! Nurse: "Hm? No one's come in here." Nurse: "Here, have a lolly pop!" Okay... T.K.'s narration of where he's going (and the scream in the Girl's Restroom) is all stupid. The kids were just laughing and playing Kid Playing Soccer: "And then I threw the jelly donut is the pool!" You fool! You wasted the donut! It's candy bar! CANDY BAR IN THE POOL! Kari:"It was weird.I was at the beach." T.K.: "You ditched school?" In the dub, Kari specifically tells T.K. that someone is trying to take her to the other world. Takeru responds with, "You've got to fight it! Where are they? We'll fight them!" or something to that effect. Takeru: "Taichisan! 'Taichisan, Taichisan!' Always this thing! Hikari, it's unnaceptable!" T.K.: "You're gonna quit? Give up just like that?" T.K.: "I care too much about you to let anything happen to you!" silence Principal: "Will Mary Robinson please report to the office. Your locker is missing." Don't you have a job to be doing right now, Mister Principal? silence Chick Inside The Blue Car That Goes By: "You're speeding, Herald!" Since the dub takes place apparently in America, he's also driving on the wrong side of the road. The car honks and it isn't supposed to. All Tailmon says when Hikari is disappearing is "Hikari! Hikari!" In the dub, she says things like, "Where did you go?" and "Kari! Kari! Are you OK? What's happening to you?" Miyako is talking about some information on the computer, but (and this is one of the reasons I don't like her) when she speaks, she slurs some of her syllables together and I can't understand some of it. Daisuke: "It concerns the same thing." Yolei: "By increasing the system's memory, I'm expanding the D-Terminal's capabilities." Davis: "Boy, do you know how to party!" Daisuke: "Is that so? I wonder where he (The Digimon Kaiser) is now." Davis: "Boring! I think I'd rather go outside and play some soccer!" Chibimon: "Great, great! Then he won't be able to use Dark Evolution!" Demiveemon: "No kidding! Let's go outside and get some fresh air! This place smells like still sweat socks!" Kari's lines before the commercial break are stupid. Davis: "She's gotta be in the DigiWorld...!" T.K.: "She's not in The DigiWorld." Digital World. Ha! Killed two birds. Hikari: "Where is this place? It's not the Digital World..." Kari: "This place is creepy, but at least the beach is nice... and... deserted... It must not be the tourist season." Would you expect much tourism in a place so creepy? Tailmon: "I saw Hikari turning into Digital Data. Therefore, she went to the Digital World!" Gatomon: "Let us be your advancemon! You're a lover, not a fighter!" The hell he is. Not even in your non-canon, dubbed world. Takeru: "I've said that she isn't in the Digital World!" T.K.: "She's in ANOTHER DIMENSION!" ANOTHER DIMENSION? She's DEAD!!! *sobs wildly* silence Kari: "There's not even a hot dog stand on this beach." Well, with no people around, why would there be? Aside from that, in a world where lighthouses shine black light, would you want to eat the hot dogs? silence Patamon: "Look! A news copter! Maybe another high-speed chase!" Well, it might be a high-speed chase. But I somehow doubt it. Maybe the fact that it's not a police helicopter is throwing me off. Takeru: "I should be protecting her..." T.K.: "The beach! She kept saying something about the beach!" And the beings from the other universe that were trying to suck her in.... Weren't you paying attention? Tailmon: "Hikari isn't weak." T.K.: "I'll never find her!" Gatomon: "T.K., don't be such a scaredy cat!" T.K: "You're right, Gatomon. Thanks! Come on! Let's keep looking for her!" [Updated: 21 November 2005] silence Kari: "Hello? Is anyone in here? Echo!" [Echo: Go away!] Hikari: "This... this is scary... why does this always happen to me...?" Kari: "Coming in here has got to be my worst idea ever." Hikari: "Who are you? That over there.. Kari: "Get back! I play a lot of soccer... So I know how to kick!" Oh, jeez. You could have said something more intimidating. The digimon in the cave only groan for this part. They don't say Hikari's name. Daisuke: "What? It's not working!" Davis: "I just changed the stupid batteries!" |

Tailmon: "We've already searched here." Gatomon: "I think he just went crazy!" Just now? Tailmon: "I think." [note: what she says here is simply "omoi," which is odd to translate by itself] Gatomon: "They've both flipped!" Hikari: "Takerukun!" Kari: "The National Guard!!" The American one? They can't help you there. Tailmon: "I think it joins to the other world!" Gatomon: "Ah, what the heck, I got nine lives!" Back in season one when Hikari was sleeping, she apparently slept so long that you only had three left. I'm sure at least two of the have been run down by now... Tailmon: "This can't be the Digital World." Gatomon: "T.K., promise me we'll never do that again." Note that he promised her nothing. :P Hikari: "I don't have my D-3..." Tailmon: "It can't be!" Kari: "I can't. I don't have my D-Terminal..." Gatomon: "We're toast!" You don't need your D-Terminal for Tailmon to evolve. You need your D-3. Takeru: "We did it! We defeated Airdramon!" T.K.: "This battle was just a day at the beach!" Scubamon: "Now that's what I call a red-eye reduction!" Takeru: "Let's return to the other side." T.K.: "It could be worse. We could be scraping gum at school." Yeah, scraping gum is far worse than being a big, ugly monster's concubine. Of course, T.K. would say so - he doesn't have to be the concubine. Hikari never said she cared for Takeru. |
