I have a question about this episode too.

15:10 - "You dumb cat"

I assume this is a translation of "Kono baka neko"

But to me it really sounds more like Jabura says "Kono bakeneko" with a bakeneko being a type of demonic cat from Japanese folklore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakeneko

Like I said on episode 264, I'm in no way qualified to talk about Japanese Language, so I could easily be mistaken here, no matter how much I listen it always sounds like bakeneko as opposed to baka neko.

On a seperate note, I really like the Attack FX for Kumadori's "Seppuku.....Tekkai!" thing in this episode.

He does say "bakeneko," which can be confirmed by checking the manga. The problem is it would require a translation note, and even then it would be hard to explain it in such a way that the audience understood it as an insult ("cat monster" is a rather accurate description of Lucci). The main point is that Lucci reduced Jabura to a simple dog, and Jabura in return is attempting to reduce Lucci to a mere cat. If you haven't noticed by now, we're don't translate things as literally as possible, because it loses grace at a certain point.

But it is worth mentioning here I suppose. I probably forgot about it entirely while writing the website notes.

I think that, this is different kinds of forum from others.
