As a Greek is very interesting for me that the Atlantian language is basically a version of Ancient Greek. I can understand some parts if a listen carefully. It's so cool and weird at the same time. I love it.
Fairly certain they make Atlantean in the show by just corrupting modern Greek. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re given actual translations and the voice actors pronunciation is what is doing the corrupting.
I like it too, I studied some Greek (and Latin and biochem) in college, I'm still learning, but yeah, I recognized some words like θαλασσα (sea) around @4:33 in the video... Going to look up the transcript and see what else they have written there out of curiosity, it was a bit hard for me to hear at first but I see what you mean (I wanted to check the translation spell that Kaldur said as well in the video)
Makes sense when you think about it. Atlantis is part of greek mythology after all, and was probably ruled by Poseidon himself at one point during ancient Greek time
I can only imagine what Dolphin has been through. The way she spoke of bad men, how perceptive she was to notice Kalduram lied to his mentor and king, and how she assured Kaldur that he is most assuredly NOT a bad man but a good man (becuz she's right that bad men don't feel bad when they lie), how she didn't want to reveal her name from the surface world... She has been through a great deal even before Klarion got a hold of her, but it is uplifting to see her take so happily to her new life and new name in Atlantis

I know Dolphin’s meta gene is basically just being able to survive underwater but her design is just so cool easily one of the best designs for minor characters I like that they made her different from the Atlantians by giving her those cool blue scales, it is sad she can never go above surface though but she seems happy 😊 Edit/Update: as of season 4 she can glow!! I love her she’s great I’m glad they kept her in the show
just breathing underwater? theyre deeeep below the ocean’s surface she must also have some form of increased durability to be that deep and be the same size let alone not squashed instantly. she would also need enhanced strength we humans are good swimmers but not atlantian good and shes keeping up with them relatively well. she can also clearly see underwater too tho its hard to tell how well or how much fiction is interfering with logic but still. shed be dead if all she had was water breathing
Why does she go by dolphin when she can't breathe air. Dolphins are mammals like humans they breathe air they don't breathe water they're not fish they just hold their breath for a long time. I know it's a cartoon and everything but come on just call her Fish girl.
Some DC Comics-based context, history, and clarification to Dolphin... *:)* 1.) *_Who is Dolphin?_** --* Debuting in DC Comics in *1968...* - a.) *Abduction -* As a small child, Dolphin was alien-abducted off a vacation cruise-liner by aquatic alien scientists (hiding in Earth's oceans) for "guinea pig" use in experimentation. The aquatic alien scientists' torturous experiments activated Dolphin's Metagene. After the aquatic alien scientists lost interest in their various experiment project(s), they left Dolphin (the sole survivor of the experimentations) to die in her cage. Dolphin managed to free herself and escape into the ocean wilds. - b. *Education -* Living ferally in the oceans for several years, Dolphin happened across a small community of human aquatic scientists (oceanographers, marine biologists, hydro-physicists, etc.), who took Dolphin in; both out of scientific curiosity, as well as earnest _Compassion._ Cared for, and eventually educated enough to communicate with other humans in-general (comics-Dolphin knows English and American Sign Language), Dolphin bid her adoptive family farewell to travel the oceans and the world, this time with an sense of intelligent awareness and explorative wonder. *[EDIT RE: Dolphin's name...* It was the human scientists who gave Dolphin her name, since Dolphin did not (could not) remember her birth name pre-abduction.] - c.) *Atlantean -* Across her travels, Dolphin would encounter Arthur Curry (Aquaman I), and her life with Atlantis, the Aqua-family, and the (overall) Metahuman Community would begin. Dolphin would become a citizen of Atlantis, fall in love with Garth (Aqualad I, Tempest), marry Garth, and bear Garth's son (Ceridian). - d.) *Death (2005) -* Tragically, both Dolphin and Ceridian would be among the thousands slain in the destruction of Atlantis by a corrupted and rampaging Spectre (a titanically powerful mystic being; DC Comics' 'Spirit of Vengeance', generally an Anti-Hero). 2.) *_Metahuman Nature/Powers..._* - a.) *Similar -* Rather obviously, Dolphin is capable of surviving underwater indefinitely, sharing many Atlantean traits: water breathing, depth pressure immunity, enhanced strength & toughness, swift swim speed, etc. - b.) *Different -* _UNLIKE_ standard Atlanteans (remember: Dolphin is a Metahuman), comics-Dolphin is physically stronger, tougher, and swifter (Dolphin is capable of outpacing most Atlanteans' swim-speeds). - c.) *Comics vs. Cartoon -* Additionally, unlike her YJ-depiction, comics-Dolphin is *_Amphibious,_* capable of surviving indefinitely on both dry land and underwater without any ill effects (like the rest of the Aqua-family); though as (obvious) personal preference, Dolphin prefers aquatic environments. Whether YJ-Dolphin will evolve to match comics-Dolphin's amphibious nature will be interesting to see, if they use Dolphin in YJ season 04+ (I certainly hope they will). 3.) *_Dolphin's Depiction in Young Justice (cartoon)..._* - a.) *Voice Actor -* Dolphin is voiced by *Tiya Sircar,* best known for her role as Mandalorian _Sabrine Wren_ from *[Star Wars: Rebels (2014-2019) CG cartoon].* This is why YJ-Dolphin is portrayed as a Hindi/Indian girl, to reflect her Voicer. - b.) *Comics vs. Cartoon (redux) -* This is opposed to comics-Dolphin, who was a platinum-blonde (white hair) Caucasian woman in low-rise mini-shorts and a _VERY_ tight (cleavage & midriff revealing) tank-top. Though as nods to her comics-counterpart, YJ-Dolphin retained her platinum-blonde (white) hair and tank-top (though a *FAR* more modest/conservative top than comics-Dolphin). *[Side-Note:* this is one of the reasons why the YJ-cartoon enjoys such an enduring following, YJ does not rely on cheap sex-pandering portrayals, but rather interesting &/or engaging characters.] - c.) *Why No Human Name? -* This is where the YJ-writers were limited. For comics-Dolphin, she never had a human name because comics-Dolphin simply could not remember what her human (birth) name was, due to comics-Dolphin's alien abduction as a very small child (barely past a toddler). So, to reflect that, YJ-Dolphin's lack of revealing her human name is *_deliberately_* glossed over. Thanks for uploading this, *Explore White.* :)
@Will N ~ While it is always possible (if only in the Multiversal sense), it is highly unlikely. 1.) *_Complete Mystery, Consistent Mystery_** ~* Comics-wise, Dolphin has been around since *1968,* and despite Reboots/RetCons across the comics-decades, Dolphin's core backstory has remained consistent for the most part. This means that Dolphin's land-walker birth-origins are a complete blank, both to the Readers and to Dolphin herself. 2.) *_Thought of Before_** ~* Likewise, there have been plenty of (in-comics) attempts to try to trace Dolphin's birth-origins, which is really not surprising given how long comics-Dolphin has been around (1968)... - a.) *Direct Investigation ~* Backed by the Atlantean Royal Family and the Justice League, Dolphin has tried boots-on-ground investigating (hiring Private Investigators, using government contacts/resources, even investigative Super-Heroes' aid, etc.) to find her birth-origins. But the lack of information, something even Dolphin herself cannot provide (again: no memories), have all failed. - b.) *Science ~* Attempts to trace Dolphin's DNA (reflecting when such biotechnology became widely available in Reality, of course) have proven fruitless; due to the aquatic aliens' torturous experiments and Dolphin's active Metagene, Dolphin's DNA is too far altered for any DNA trace-matching. - c.) *Magic ~* Even sorcery/wizardry (Atlantean, land-walker, Super-Heroes) have proven unable to divine Dolphin's birth-origins, other than confirming Dolphin is of human land-walker birth-origins (not an alien, not a clone, not an altered/transformed animal, etc.), and is native to Earth-01/-Prime (DC Earth), not from a different dimension in the DC Multiverse. 3.) *_Possibilities_** ~* This does not mean your theory cannot be used. However... - a.) Short of wielding an Infinity Gauntlet (or DC cosmic equivalent) level artifact, it is unlikely comics-Dolphin will ever learn/know her land-dweller human birth-origins. - b.) Alternatively, Young Justice cartoon could take a *_VERY_* bold step and give YJ-Dolphin a purely YJ-based Origin Story, though I doubt YJ-cartoon would use 'Lisa Morel' (Aquagirl I, 1959) since YJ-Dolphin is portrayed by a Hindi/Indian girl (Tiya Sircar). Hope this helps clarify. *:)*
isn't it weird that everyone thought Dolphin and aqualad were going to be together? I expected that too, but then remembered that aqualad is in his late 20s and Dolphin is a teenager
At best, she's 18-19 in season 3, but even with knowing that there are certain scenes in S4 that feel kinda odd, almost like Kaldur and Wynnde are about to invite her into their relationship. Thankfully I don't believe that would be done.
God, seeing Kaldur being a mentor figure is a happy sight to see. He’s been through hell. Loved this character’s design when she first showed up. Cheers.
I feel like they spent both too much and not enough time with this character... She could have been a good medium to segue into into Atlantis, which they did use her for, but then they had her give this deeply insightful speech to Kaldur about his doubts which leads us to think she's going to play a role in the rest of the season (or at the very least least in his arc)... And then they just cut her off of the script. She's right in the middle of "too much character development" and "not enough use of a character".
SHIIEEET. 'Ol man Greg, aka Uncle Ruckus, wasn't _about_ to let that go down. During seasons 1+2, did you notice how Kal'dur was the _only_ guy not getting any action? That is, not until Rocket showed up. Greg and most of the other Hollywood writers tend to have a "Plantation" like mentality. Of _course_ they'd rather pair him with some guy, than with some _non black_ female. The same goes for Static+ Cyborg. Be thankful that BL was able to break off a piece, even if it was a short relationship. It's possible that at least one of the writers had a stroke during that scene. 🤣
apon a second viewing, beast boy closed his eyes when he was effectively using his nose/face to push her (by her booty lol) into the bioship. what a gentleman XD
@@johnnyboy4948 Ya lmao, thats what happens when you put SOME freshwater fish in saltwater, they explode but most of the others shrivels up and dies. now if beast boy threw her in fresh water then she would bloat up and straight up explodes
In a sense she did. A big part of empathy is being able to pick up on subtle ques to someone's mood and piecing together the clues as to what lies behind it. Dolphin noticed that Kaldur became unhappy when the King mentioned Professor Ivo, and was able to figure out that the reason was Kaldur had lied to him about something involving that. However, it may be that she was already naturally empathic (meaning she could already do this) before the Muta-gene was activated.
From personal experiense sea water is pretty good at closing small wounds. Helped me twice. Second one was a deep chemical burn, small but looked awful all wet and shit, bled too sometimes, doctor did some stuff but to little avail, sea water closed it in a week after i got wet by mistake and noticed progress. Just a very small scar now. Before that i would not believe skin could grow so fast.
I would like to know just what the hell she ever saw in Black Manta? She seems so loving and gentle in spirit, completely the opposite of a violent mercenary who might also have a speciesism-complex with Atlanteans. I’m well aware of the phrase “opposites attract”, but I didn’t think it would be true to that degree.
Did no one ever think how weird this scene is? The pacing and action. Presumably, Kaldur meets girl, none of them can understand each other, but kaldur knows she wants to go to Atlantis. They arrive, and only then, does kaldur use translation magic 🤨 Oh and also, in all that time, no one has run a background check on her, find out her name, wheres shes from etc. "Oh you never introduced yourself" And she's also used as a device to ask a question that the answer can be self-evident.
I think it was implied that her relationship with her parents or other relatives is toxic since she’s been lied to (possibly a lot) and probably didn’t have many human friends before being rescued, but a background check on her would have still been nice since they did one for Halo.
@@MiraculousHolder365 ur just assuming they didnt. If they had a verification wouldn't they ha e tried to put her there first and then move her later if needed? It was just never found. Remember that all metas were almost always kidnapped runaways.
If beast boy transformed into a blob fish instead of a dolphin would she call herself blobfish? Lol what if beast boy turned into a baluga whale? She’ll call herself baluga XD
The design of her character reminds me a lot of Disney’s Atlantis the lost empires princess…I think her name was…Kida like a short form of her full name but I love the design.
I wonder if those power suppression collars would even work on her. Those are some hefty physical changes, kinda doubt one would make her able to breathe air again. Though maybe a device like what Abe Sapien from the Hellboy movies had might work.
She showed that not every mutation (sorry, mutant is copyright marvel -_- meaning meta gene) is beneficial to it’s owner. She lost the entire surface world, and if she is ever the only Atlantean left, she’ll never be able to communicate to another soul. In Dceased, she’d definitely be dead, because she can’t leave the water and no one would be able to rescue her in time before the anti-life infection reached her (it spread through the blood of those infected with it, so as the Atlantean Warriors butchered the infected, they were suddenly breathing in their infected blood. Queen Mera barely noticed at the last moment to get away, at the cost of Tempest’s infection) So, she’s just a show how these powers can mess with normal people.
Actually if you seen all of season 3 her reaction makes perfect sense. A few episodes later we see wyynde struggling to breath on land. You always have to learn stuff first
Every blue marking on her is a gill. She has plenty of those. Maybe each individual is small, but she has like 6-8 on her head alone, let alone the rest of her body definitely has more.
So if his step-father is a surface dweller or regular human Then how did he develop a gil and eventually becomes a full atlantean, i though the place isn't exactly easy to reach to say the least
Is it just me or am I seeing Kida reborn in this universe? It just can't be me right? Anyways Dolphin is pretty cool. Damn shame Cree Summer did not voice her. It would have been so epic.
@@ceve I watched the outsiders season, so I guess I just have bad memory. I went back and looked at the episode list for that season and it was there. Boy did I feel dumb
About being stuck in that glass looking bubble for weeks… where did the poop go? In fact… how do you flush in water? I wish they put more thought into what happens to the poop… really takes me out of the story…

She nice tho
Beastboy assumed that she was a saltwater fish /j
I was just thinking that 🤣
damn I didn't even think about that. If she was freshwater then she would of exploded.
@@hunterl5802 is that what really happens 😆
@@johnnyboy4948 Ya lmao, thats what happens when you put SOME freshwater fish in saltwater, they explode but most of the others shrivels up and dies. now if beast boy threw her in fresh water then she would bloat up and straight up explodes
Oh wait a minute
It’s nice that they’re so warm and welcoming to someone from the surface world
Beast boy: Are these...gills?
Me: No she's growing a second pair of ar- YES THERE GODDAMN GILLS
Simping over a cartoon character smh lol don't go jumping in the screen and killing him now 😂.
Did she gain empathy in addition to her new physiology? I never understood if that was her power or otherwise?
she is just good at reading him and or others
@@zeokingsilver Yeah and if shes like the comics, she should have Bioluminescence powers as well
@@SubzeroBlack68 hard to say there are two different versions of her in the comics and who knows which she might get the powers of
@@zeokingsilver she might get more power later
In a sense she did. A big part of empathy is being able to pick up on subtle ques to someone's mood and piecing together the clues as to what lies behind it. Dolphin noticed that Kaldur became unhappy when the King mentioned Professor Ivo, and was able to figure out that the reason was Kaldur had lied to him about something involving that. However, it may be that she was already naturally empathic (meaning she could already do this) before the Muta-gene was activated.
Imagine how painful it would be for your lungs and pulmonary veins to migrate to your neck like that.

Yes, I'm sure all that *salt* water would do wonders for open wounds.
@@JaelinBezel 😱
From personal experiense sea water is pretty good at closing small wounds. Helped me twice. Second one was a deep chemical burn, small but looked awful all wet and shit, bled too sometimes, doctor did some stuff but to little avail, sea water closed it in a week after i got wet by mistake and noticed progress. Just a very small scar now.
Before that i would not believe skin could grow so fast.
@@JaelinBezel It actually does help a lot. The process is just painful, is all.
@@ВалБал-н3й I was referring to the variety of exotic creatures that want to kill each other in fascinating and brutal ways, but sure.
Season 3 where have i been!!!
Kaldur is so damn fine😶😍
Yes indeed
Am I alone in my thinking that Kaldur's mom has got it goin ON?
I would like to know just what the hell she ever saw in Black Manta? She seems so loving and gentle in spirit, completely the opposite of a violent mercenary who might also have a speciesism-complex with Atlanteans.
I’m well aware of the phrase “opposites attract”, but I didn’t think it would be true to that degree.
Did no one ever think how weird this scene is? The pacing and action.
Presumably, Kaldur meets girl, none of them can understand each other, but kaldur knows she wants to go to Atlantis.
They arrive, and only then, does kaldur use translation magic 🤨
Oh and also, in all that time, no one has run a background check on her, find out her name, wheres shes from etc.
"Oh you never introduced yourself"
And she's also used as a device to ask a question that the answer can be self-evident.
I think it was implied that her relationship with her parents or other relatives is toxic since she’s been lied to (possibly a lot) and probably didn’t have many human friends before being rescued, but a background check on her would have still been nice since they did one for Halo.
@@MiraculousHolder365 ur just assuming they didnt. If they had a verification wouldn't they ha e tried to put her there first and then move her later if needed? It was just never found. Remember that all metas were almost always kidnapped runaways.
If beast boy transformed into a blob fish instead of a dolphin would she call herself blobfish?
Lol what if beast boy turned into a baluga whale? She’ll call herself baluga XD
*Beluga
I was reminded of the lost city of Atlantis when I saw the thumb nail
Finally a DC character with a unique original name
0:50 - 0:56
that pedolphin stare
lol
Makes all the powers of light magic users in Dofus book 1: julith
i would love to see all scenes from Ragman and Artemis from arrow
she is giving me ALLURAAA
The design of her character reminds me a lot of Disney’s Atlantis the lost empires princess…I think her name was…Kida like a short form of her full name but I love the design.
Thanks for uploading.
Can you please do Duncan Rosenblatt powers from Firebreather?
1:34 Just realised that's the voice of Rampart from Apex
0:51 Smooth kid smooth!
i know this is a cartoon but just throwing her into water is not how gils work.
No but they’d slowly start to work. Better odds than just leaving her on the concrete to suffocate.
Wished she had more powers than just underwater breathing. Would've looked epic.
I wonder if those power suppression collars would even work on her.
Those are some hefty physical changes, kinda doubt one would make her able to breathe air again.
Though maybe a device like what Abe Sapien from the Hellboy movies had might work.
just imagine how pruny their skin must be, being underwater all the time
Wow, holy shit it always eluded me somehow that Kaldur was holding hands with the other guy xD
She is pretty.
Am I the only one who's annoyed that she's called "Dolphin", yet she has gills? Dolphins aren't fish, their mammals.
Are the guys holding hands?? Wait a minute. Where have a I been! 🥺
@ 4:13 Caldur was like "I'ma get me some aqua booty." 😏
I love her character design. Was she in the comics?
That push Gar give to her while being dolphin, butt contact allowed uwu :3
Im so glad i wasnt the only one thinking about ir
I love the hommage to Kida from atlantis
The dolphin pushed by her butt🤣
They Atlanteans need to come up with a better salute 1:52
Look at Sha'lain'a's and Dolphin's big hair 3:08- 3:10 and 3:16
I really love her design.
Surprised they ditch Dolthin to make Kalda gay, was there a point adding her to the show?
I’m sorry they made kalderon gay? So your assuming he wasn’t bisexual?
@@Lord_Sunday and you're assuming he wasn't straight?
She showed that not every mutation (sorry, mutant is copyright marvel -_- meaning meta gene) is beneficial to it’s owner. She lost the entire surface world, and if she is ever the only Atlantean left, she’ll never be able to communicate to another soul.
In Dceased, she’d definitely be dead, because she can’t leave the water and no one would be able to rescue her in time before the anti-life infection reached her (it spread through the blood of those infected with it, so as the Atlantean Warriors butchered the infected, they were suddenly breathing in their infected blood. Queen Mera barely noticed at the last moment to get away, at the cost of Tempest’s infection)
So, she’s just a show how these powers can mess with normal people.
She has nose 👃 and gills both, but still can't breath on land.. 🤣
Actually if you seen all of season 3 her reaction makes perfect sense. A few episodes later we see wyynde struggling to breath on land. You always have to learn stuff first
I understand if someone think that Kaldur and Dolphin looking good together but for me they are also good as siblings.
Agreed, they have a lot of platonic chemistry
NEW aquagirl pretty sweet
New love ❤ Aquaman love new aqua girl
I JUST CAME HERE TO SAY THAT THUMBNAIL IS CRAZY
Phil LaMarr is in EVERYTHING! Haha.
So her powers are...not being able to breathe air and not knowing that dolphins do.
First, the hair shouldn't change. Second, such small gills wouldn't sustain her. LIes, all lies. Totally destroys the suspension of disbelief.
Every blue marking on her is a gill. She has plenty of those. Maybe each individual is small, but she has like 6-8 on her head alone, let alone the rest of her body definitely has more.
@@Norinia You have a good point. However, the animators should have made it more obvious. Only the neck ones ever flexed.
I’d find it hilarious if they put dolphin in the ocean and she couldn’t breathe and they went like ‘oh, shit, she’s fresh water’
So if his step-father is a surface dweller or regular human
Then how did he develop a gil and eventually becomes a full atlantean, i though the place isn't exactly easy to reach to say the least
Maybe he's half atlantean himself?
He’s was originally a human but was experimented on by Black Manta and became a mutant
Is it just me or am I seeing Kida reborn in this universe? It just can't be me right? Anyways Dolphin is pretty cool. Damn shame Cree Summer did not voice her. It would have been so epic.
I dont know this show at all..... But somehow it reminds me at ATLANTIS from disney
Subtitled bit at the end; is it my imagination, or was i hearing some greek loan words in Atlantian? It would make sense.
Bring back this show
Is her voice actress the one from never have i ever? Devi’s aunt??
Kinda funny thinking she's named Dolphin and can breath only underwater while actual dolphins can't
the only reason why i clicked the thumbnail was cause i thought is was storm from the xmen
When is season 4 coming out, it’s been soo long
Oh, cool, they did bring in Cal Durham.
Kaldur Am
@@Xhabit300 No. he means Calvin Durham, Kaldur Am’s dad, who Kaldur was originally loosely based on when they made him for Young Justice.
@@Arthus850 ohhhh , I barely noticed him lmao
So her powers include chocking on air and lighting up?
Are we gonna talk about the thumbnail and preview????
Q clasic very good 😷
You know lobo its gonna kill ,the magic kid, because she is a dolphin and lobo love dolphins
Una pregunta, quieres que te de ideas para futuros "all power scenes" o "fight scenes"?
Siii porfa
@@_____bbbbb259 Okey, y tu eres?
Those hovering over the thumbnail of this video know.
Wellp I hope I don't get meta genes like that my power will I cantt..
The thumbnail looked like Storm from X-men: Evolution
Gills not eyelad rhe gills means she out of breath!
Dolphin looks like Kida from Atlantis The Lost Empire
I wish i could see Wave fighting along with Atlantians. 😁
I thought I had seen every episode, but I don't remeber seeing these scenes at all
This is from season 3: Outsiders. It came out a few years ago, way after the first 2 seasons
@@ceve I watched the outsiders season, so I guess I just have bad memory. I went back and looked at the episode list for that season and it was there. Boy did I feel dumb
i think if he didn't end up with garth, he would have ended up with dolphin
Dont forget bioluminescence
Ok, let’s just hope that this show doesn’t end up like the Apokolips War because if it does, shit.
But...dolphins don't have gills...
Ironic that shes a human transformed into superhero dolphin yet she cant breath air
Her name Dolphin but she have gill ?
The short animation of the Thumbnail looks soooo wrong.
Good thing the girl wasn't a freshwater breather or salt water breather or you know what I mean the opposite of whatever she got thrown in
I really wanted her to be Aqualad/Man's new love interests. Not have him do a 180 and become a homosexual. But that's what the writers decided.
He’s bi… and having her become his girlfriend after sharing two or three sentences is just as forced
Why is her name dolphin yet she has gills 😭
"Fucka youu, Dolpheen!"
I wish Kaldur and Dolphin got together...
So, does his translation magic only work under water? I mean, why couldn't he use it before they got to atlantis?
I mean, water messes up phonetics, so even if she WAS speaking Atlantean, he wouldn’t be able to understand her outside the tank.
@@ihavenocreativeideasforach5530 dang by manipulating the acoutics in liquid,you can manipulate language😍😍
So this is where Kida came from...
I get the joke 😂
About being stuck in that glass looking bubble for weeks… where did the poop go? In fact… how do you flush in water? I wish they put more thought into what happens to the poop… really takes me out of the story…
Im going to be honest I though she was Storm when I first saw the thumbnail.
