What is the Trump Card? Blue Card of Friendship

Out of the Blue


Sahgo's notes: Aaaahh, horrible title x_x Well, the English Writer is Steve Blum. So, I was optmistic about this episode. Well, I was stupid. You know, they RUINED THE scene of the episode, and that's unforgivable. Ok, the dub transformed Kazu into some kind of "bully-friend" for Takato. Then, they must have thought: "Oh, since he's a little bully, he can't make a cool scene. Let's make he say STUPID STUFF, then the audience will hate him a little more". And, well, that's it. One of my very favorite scenes of this series is destroyed.
You know, I give up. All those writers are horrible people. That made me lose my trust... in humans. I'm really affraid of what will they do about the episode Kazu meets Guardromon. Really, really afraid.

Stupid Dialogue:
Impmon: (After Indramon's attack) "THIS IS GONNA HUUUUUUURRTT!" Sure thing. Ruki: "Impmon!"
Silence.
"Rika: "We've gotta help him!"
Gargomon: "Or at least, pick up the pieces." Pick up the pieces. Indramon: "Time to go!" That's WRONG!!! In the original, Indramon says nothing when he's gone, making the viewer wonder if he's alive or not. Well, congrats dub, you ruined the surprise. Grrr! Guilmon (sleeping): "Takatomon digivolve..." You're stupid even sleeping. Lee: "So, you're worried too (about Impmon)".
Henry: "Rika, you DO have a heart!" And you DON'T have a brain! In the original, when Takato and friends enter in the tunnel, Guilmon has just awaken (he says that) and Takato asks if he's okay. In the dub, Guilmon says he's happy because Takato is back, because - it seems - he thought Takato wouldn't be back. Well, the dub dialogue is not appropriated. Really. Kazu: "There's too much love in this room!" But still, there's no brain in your head. Some added dialogue. How can Takato say "Let's do it" if we can clearly SEE his mouth is closed?

Side Note:
Before I forget, in the original, the Digimon have a 'kami', ''God''. In the dub they have a "Sovereign". Yeah. Whatever.

Stupid Dialogue:
Lee's father: "Could it be...?"
Henry's father: "Kazu! Kenta!"

What? You know, that is when I wonder if the people who are adapting this even KNOW what they're doing. You know, Hirokazu and Kenta are close friends to Takato, but I think Lee barely knows them - ok, ''barely'' is exagerated, but you understood -, and I REALLY don't think Lee's father would know their names. This is wrong!


Side Note:
That's a not-so-important-and-hard-to-explain change. You know, after Hirokazu and Kenta give their cards to the Tamers, when they use the cards, they don't say "CARD SLASH!", as usual. They don't even scream the card name. And, in the "CARD SLASH!" part, the Tamers say the respective Digimon name (Ex: Rika - "Kyubimon!!"). In the dub, they CONTINUE to scream the horrible "Digi-Modify", and scream "blahblahblah Activate!". I didn't like this. I mean, the original scene was showing the Tamers' crisis.

Stupid Dialogue:
I really thought that this, my FAVORITE part, would be untouched. But, it wasn't. And it was going well, until: Kazu: "Hey, Takato created Guilmon with a drawing, and he's a crumy artist!"
Takato: "Gee, thanks a lot!" The line was REALLY accurate, until this underlined part. Man, I just HATED that. You can ruin ALL the episode, but NOT THIS SCENE! *Hatred, hatred, desire for BLOOD!!!*
And the worst, it continues. Hirokazu (shaking Takato's hands): "Believe. You have to believe!"
Kazu (shaking Takato's hands): "Concentrate, concentrate. Are you CONCENTRATING? Hey Chumley, I'm not holding your hands because I like you, pay attention!" ......Please, somebody, tell me this is a nightmare... Silence
Calumon: (thinking) "You can do it, Takato! And so can I..." ...FOR THE LAST TIME, CULUMON DOESN'T KNOW WHEN HE HELPS, HE JUST DOES!! STOP CHANGING THE ORIGINAL PLOT! Kato: "Takato-kun!"
Juri: "What's happening!? (about Calumon)" That line is wrong for just one simple reason: look at the scene. Look. She's not looking to Culumon. SHE'S NOT LOOKING TO HIM. So, how did she see something was happening? ESP?

Side Note:
MegaloGrowlmon's attack change. Double Edge ------------> Radiation Blade ('Radiation'?)

Stupid Dialogue:
WarGrowlmon: "Say uncle!"
Indramon: "NEVER!" I would love to make one of my not-funny comments, but I'm just too depressed for what they did with Hirokazu's card scene...
