It's great seeing some of these memorable moments from Ultimate Muscle in their original Japanese dialogue. Interesting that Kevin Mask didn't say anything after Doc Nakano flashes his bald head in this Japanese version. I believe in the English dub they had him make a comment about the British not being able to take the French seriously (in reference to Monsieur Cheeks). The original Japanese form of this show was better at portraying Kevin as the serious, strong and silent type.
Exactly, exactly. Kevin is supposed to be the silent type - even more than Robin-Mask was. He's the aloof, cool character, but I see in English episodes here he doesn't seem so. More egotistical. Maybe I just read this wrong? XD; Thank you for commenting - I will try to upload more soon!
I get a sense of Japanese Kevin Mask as the aloof, cool character too, silent, mysterious & intimidating. I agree that the English dub Kevin Mask seems more egotistical. He spoke like he believed himself to be superior to others. I think they were trying to portray him more as a bad guy to rival Kid Muscle. Whereas in Japan, i think he was known to be a popular character and so it was important to portray him as a cool rather than bad character.
man UM is cruel to the french lol
