Ripper 30 The swearing isn't a problem, from a translation problem. if you had any rudimentary knowledge of Japanese, you would understand that the way the main cast speaks (except for Kurama) is considered very rude by conventional Japanese standards. if you think the show shouldn't have cursing is because it's supposed to be a cartoon for kids, it isn't. Not only is there plenty of killing, but this show also has just a bit of smoking, drinking, and sex. If the audience can deal with the subject matter, foul language shouldn't be a problem. As far as DBZ was concerned, Funimation originally wanted it to be watched by the same people that watched Pokemon, so of course the language, violence, and sexuality would be toned down.
Ripper 30 Genkai still gets called an old lady (*ahem* "Grandma") in Japanese. As far as Koenma is concerned, not everyone addresses him as "Lord Koenma" in Japanese either. Same thing with the voices. Only Yusuke sounds like an actual teen out of the main cast.
I can hear the argument for almost any other anime that the sub is superior but I can't understand how people don't get how amazing this dub is. It makes the show for me
Yeah, I seen alot in comment of people saying positive thing about the English dub, some stuff I like better in the Japanese dub, but I don't khow what is better, the English dub is good of doing changest and still giving emotion. Compare some anime that just ruin alot.
The only line I kind of liked from the subbed version was, "Sorry, this weak-willed guy is actually the real me." The dub has way more emotion in those scenes, and "Perfect! I even get to let down my own inner self," is just such a real statement to me, for some reason. It's so in character, and it sounds 100% like what a bitter middle schooler would say.
I think that if you were listening to the sub and were a native speaker you may pick up on more emotion than those of us who don't speak Japanese. However, what Id like to point out is the direction that this scene was taken. You can really hear the pain in Yusuke. When he tries to stand up, in Japanese he is hurt but you dont get much more than that. In English his screams carry through letting you know just how horrible it is what he's going through. Not to mention I'm sure Sabat had some input here because of the DBZ like screams that follow through to the end too, which are really impactful after hearing the pain in Yusuke. The perfect scene.
while that might be true, at this point in the test he had also spent hours upon hours (don't remember the exact amount of time, but it may have even been over a day, can't say) being tortured by the pain, so the sub showcases the exhaustion and how much yusuke has just straight up given up. I do agree with you though, 6:4 dub:sub
zubhanwc3 Yusuke's not a wimp, weeb. The dub showed not only his exhaustion, but his determination to move forward, and it shows how much in pain he truly is. Who the hell would not scream non-stop after the hours of pain and suffering, and then attempt to fight the pain in his body, while also trying to escape a collapsing cave?
Raimboombox Agreed. I dont understand why people are saying he puts more emotion in this scene for dub. In my opinion the sub did it better because he wasnt suppose to scream that much. Remember he needed water because he was so exhausted? he couldnt even speak anymore.
@@timothymoua6706 You could be exhausted and still scream, ya know? It's not like he's dehydrated. He managed to run and kick a big ass boulder in the end. At that point, when he was determined to help Pu, he was suffering from excruciating pain than anything.

However, let me say right now that out of all of the dubs I have watched, this is by far the single best one I have ever seen. It’s a genuine miracle that they managed to put a cast together this perfect. Everyone absolutely kills it. Justin Cook is absolutely legendary.
I was drunk one night after finishing hxh in 2014 and for some crazy unfathomable reason decided to rewatch this show in dub After already watching it subbed years ago. Now, I'm someone you might call a "sub elitist" and I genuinely dislike dubs, I've tried the dubs people praise, I've seen the bebop's and hellsing ultimate's and fmab's and while they're not terrible I'm someone that always prefers the original. Well... except for yu yu hakusho. I ended up watching 10 episodes that night and while a lot of background characters had some pretty bland delivery I was suprised with how much I enjoyed yusuke and botan in English, it almost felt wrong to me in a way. As I continued watching the show I found these characters to be so much more engaging than I remembered and that's when I realized the dub had been changing lines and somehow instead of doing the thing where dubs change lines and ruin scenes these script changes were actually ENHANCING character motivations and whole conversations. To this day I have never seen a dub like yu yu hakusho that actually changes the script for the better. The sub is still solid but with it I feel like I'm just watching another fun shounen battle anime where in the dub I feel like I'm watching a fun shounen battle anime with actual real teenagers in it saying things real kids would say. Nozomu Sasaki's portrayal of yusuke is still awesome but honestly justin cook was born to voice yusuke, his sarcastic quips and badass comments give me goosebumps. This hasn't changed my opinion on dubs as a whole as I still prefer my anime in it's original format but I cannot deny the fact the yu yu hakusho dub injects so much personality in the series and I honestly prefer it, something I never thought I'd say. It can be a little slower in the begining as the cast finds their groove but the quality of later episodes truly makes it worth it, If I ever rewatch it again it will be in dub for sure. Ps I thought kuwabara's dub voice was hilarious and he really sold it as a tough guy goofball with a heart of gold though I can admit I wasn't a big fan at the begining. Botans voice is cute as hell, hiei is a prick in the best way possible and kurama is just next level soothing and calculated. Yusuke is the best though).
I think whatever you ended up watching first is gonna be your fav because their characters seem to be a little different from the sub to dub. But damn this really is one of the few dubs that is really good this scene is just so damn good in the dub.
Theclaw Yaww its not extremely amateur voice acting, script changes, Kuwabara's horrible dub voice of you want to talk about good dubs there is Dragon ball kai, Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy bebop but not this
I so glad they didn't go for the exact translation of the Japanese line. "get out of the way pain" is badass sure, and is cool in general concept but it sounds so fucking awkward in english. I'm no wordsmith... and there's probably, _maybe_ a way to make that work, but I'm happy with what we got. Powerful stuff.
I've had a problem with a lot of dubs that go for more literal translations. Especially recnelty where it seems the studios are in constant fear of fan backlash (which will happen no matter what they do anyway). They just seem too caught up in imitating the japanese audio
I definitely prefer the dub version even tho I watched the japanese version first. The only regret is that they added additional dialogues in silent moments which were hurting some scenes but the emotions and the script itself more than made up for it. It's funny to think that Dub Yusuke is actually much closer to the manga version than Japanese Yusuke is.
This show is such a perfectly cut gem in all aspects! its classic epitome of 90s anime and 80s life style and fasion, the most important thing that differs this show from others is the charecters feel they are living persons.
after watching it for the 100th time ,not only for the main characters there dialogue is so much more engaging, the side characters like the women sound more real then there very polite Japanese counter parts,its amazing how different they portray them ,they sound smart ,reasonable ,and filled with character.
I will admit the dub sounds really good. Especially right here (Dub wins here) But I just like how the sub is a more honest depiction of Yusuke, Yusuke is witty and confrontational but he’s not supposed to be this cool guy with the perfect one liners every time which is what most ppl from that watch dub enjoy. I get it, but Yusuke is a 14 year kid who has a strong personality but also someone struggles that with self confidence at least in the original manga and sub.
The dub is really good here but I just wish that line where Yusuke says "Pain you're in the way. Move it!" could've made it into the dub. I just think that was such a badass line
KHfan890 I've never seen the original airing and just watched the anime in dub last week. Sub just isnt as dramatic and heart pulling. And this is coming from someone that isnt "blinded by nostalgia"
@@dude1054 im glad I didnt waste my time watching the sub while the dub is 100 times better I was thinking of watching the sub because i have only seen four animes in dub Dragon ball z, Yu yu hakusho, Trigun , and Rouruni kenshin
I know most people favor Yu Yu Hakusho's dub over the sub. But honestly to me both are really good, It's weird to because most anime fans are always sub but in this case I believe the sub is underrated.
Everyone's talking bout just how great the dub is... please don't hate me for this... but I actually think I prefer the sub. I mean the dub isn't bad, its actually quite good... I just have a soft spot for subs.
Appreciate the showing of both. Never saw the sub, but getting to see both sides is always good The dub I'll stick with as I believe it fits better for the voices and character. I agree with another person in that the script changes were good. The emotion and pain is far better demonstrated in the dub And thus, it gets my vote
Hmm...sub vs dub version of Yu Yu Hakusho. So which version do I think is better? - - - - - Dub...Hands...down! The sub is great. Don't get me wrong (especially when Luffy's Japanese VA is in it 😇). But I feel that most of the characters are more believable and realistic in the dub version. There are a few characters in the dub that are a bit too ridiculous, such as Jin and Chu. But I actually think they are funnier in the dub despite their clearly outlandish accents. XD
Ripper 30 That's only yusuke and genkai and for his character to curse it makes sense. Yusuke cursing shouldn't come as surprised but him not actually cursing the original source material is what should come as a surprised.
Ripper 30 For the minor characters they were iffy but the for important ones that was never case. The voice actors for the 4 main leads never sounded inferior to their sub counter parts despite being amateurish. The main villain like toguro and sensui am had great voice actors. Damon clarke toguro was beautiful.
Sub vs Dub needs to end at this point both are good , and the strength of both is based on the voices being a good fit and the acting from both being good , you can respect both always as long as they are genuinely good . This and Death note have both earned credit for both dub and sub being good
The dub underacts and does not suit the animation like the dub does. Cook really sells the pain and the desperation while the sub, while good in its own right, should not aim for reserved during a scene with such high emotional stakes
I will say in this particular scene Sean Teague seemed to be having a slight case of "gotta talk real quickto match the mouth movements", or pacifier movements I guess. But since Yusuke doesn't have many mouth flaps here Justin Cook seems to be able to get his acting chops fired up more.
This might be the only anime were the English is truly superior. I even like the dialogue they used better. Some of the villains have pretty weak voice actors (Suzakus is so bad I skip those episodes) but all the main actors totally kill it.
toriloveSubarukun disagree i dont mind any of the voices (besides Kuwabara his dub voice is awful) but the acting is still amateur there are decent scenes bit overall its not very good
Ripper 30 excatly the thing about his japanese voice is that the actor changes his voice depending on if its a serious or jokey moment with Chris Sabat i can never take him serious
The Japanese version does not have as much heart and I love kuwabaras voice. The dub of yu yu hakusho is definitely better than the dub of cowboy bebop, boccano and fullmetal. Seen them all and the only one of them that I prefer dubbed is cowboy aside from yu yu hakusho
I first watched YYH dubbed and this scene got me real emotional.... the sub did a great job too... but there is just something about Justin Cook’s performance as Yusuke in the dub that sounds more raw and emotional here. Still, both dub and sub Yusuke sound fantastic here!!
According to the DVD commentary, (I had every single disc and only the last one had commentary and even a blooper track that’s a must-listen) Justin couldn’t find a good fit for yusuke and some on the team suggested he try out for the part so he did.
Im usually a dub guy for than i a sub even tho i watch both with dub being the usual. I love the dub on this anime because it truly gets the feelings of pain and determination acrose Love both but i choose dub
Easily the Dub is better. I remember seeing this as a kid to even being an adult and it always choked me up. Justin Cook's voice acting always got me emotionally invested in Yusuke. I mean in this scene alone you can easily feel more as if he is in excruciating pain from the Spirit Wave Orb. But the OGVA just doesn't give me that same feeling. Most times I'm more Sub than dub but this is one of the few animes where the Dub is easily better
Here we observe the rare superior Dub in its natural habitat. Some believe it to be the only one in existence. Ok I'm gonna be honest, I'm a bit of a Dub Fangirl. I usually only watch dubs but I can appreciate the subbed anime, however I have to admit that the main reason this is the best dub, in my opinion, isn't because it's vastly superior to other dubs (it's better than most dubs but it's not the only great dub) it's because the sub was meh in the first place so it greatly surpasses it. I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!!!!!
@Death Savage Alright this is getting boring. Do you have an actual reason to hate the dub or are you just trying to get a reaction out of people for kicks?
THANK YOU. BOTH are good. Not sub is shit and dub is the second coming of Jesus. Personally the sub fits the characters more but the script and “extra emotion” if u will of the dub is better.
@@moonity6338 Hell naw Yusuke does not fit in the sub, Yusuke is supposed to be a badass kid and the sub made him sound like a dork and he also sounds like a woman at sometimes and the thing they did good was making him sound young
@@ota9007 but sub made him both badass also calm as well as outgoing and funny. I guess it’s personal taste cuz as his voice is higher, when he speaks more calm he goes lower and that’s nice for me. Also sub has iconic lines that other animes reference but it won’t work with dub :)
@@moonity6338 Justin best portrayed Yusukes cockiness and while showcasing his hidden heart of gold, Yusuke is by far the best shonen protagonist Justin cook perfected him, Yusukes a rebellious, tough attitude, playful street punk and theres nothing that reflected that off of Nozomu Sasaki portrayal of him
@Tsunayoshi Sawada I would go as far as to say the English Dub is objectively better. Not even a matter of opinion. There are clear audio issues, irregardless of the voice acting, in the Japanese Dub lol... those guys are weebs. they just can't admit it... they'll swear by your 1000 fold japanese katana that they think the japanese dub is better "in their opinion" and give retarded reasons like the one above.
@Tsunayoshi Sawada There being audio issues with the sub isn't an opinion. Its a hallow echo sound through the mic recording. Everyone can hear it you dimwit. You're proving my point when you say stupid shit like "yeah, it's myyyy opiniiiion terrible audio quality makes it more immersive!"
Dub always and forever, gave it so much life. Sub sounds really watered-down in my opinion. Don't think I would've loved the Anime as much if I never heard the dub.
I think one of the things I love about the dub more than the sub is that Yusuke in the dub talks and acts like an actual human. He's in pain and is desperate- he's not gonna be silent as his body rips itself apart. The silence is so awkward in the sub that it's distracting.
![[LIVE] : ONE ลุมพินี 79 | คู่เอก "ก้องชัย vs อาเมียร์"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/WfPSA1A0NHc/mqdefault.jpg)
honestly yusuke alone makes the dub amazing for me and there were much more amazing characters in the dub that added on to that.
Agreed. Justin Cook did a great job voicing Yusuke, really lending him a sarcastic and witty vibe that made him so hilarious.

Botans voice is cute as hell, hiei is a prick in the best way possible and kurama is just next level soothing and calculated. Yusuke is the best though).
WELL SAID.
@Nicky Yang u srsly want attention don't u
Pin this
I think whatever you ended up watching first is gonna be your fav because their characters seem to be a little different from the sub to dub. But damn this really is one of the few dubs that is really good this scene is just so damn good in the dub.
Dub. Its a true gem that deserves more recognition for what they did on a relatively small budget.
@Nicky Yang yes
The sub compared to dub in this anime actually makes me sick it's not even a comparison dub is so great in this show I felt all the emotion
one of those rare cases where the dub is far superior to the sub
Theclaw Yaww its not extremely amateur voice acting, script changes, Kuwabara's horrible dub voice of you want to talk about good dubs there is Dragon ball kai, Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy bebop but not this
jugulator95 i wasnt serious i hate all dubs except Dragon ball and cowboy bebop but the original is better anyways for bebop so i dont watch it dubbed
Theclaw Yaww i hate the original dbz dub the kai dub is good but not the 96 one
jugulator95 yeah true that kai is far much better plus you dont have to watch 200 boring fillers
I so glad they didn't go for the exact translation of the Japanese line. "get out of the way pain" is badass sure, and is cool in general concept but it sounds so fucking awkward in english. I'm no wordsmith... and there's probably, _maybe_ a way to make that work, but I'm happy with what we got. Powerful stuff.
I've had a problem with a lot of dubs that go for more literal translations. Especially recnelty where it seems the studios are in constant fear of fan backlash (which will happen no matter what they do anyway). They just seem too caught up in imitating the japanese audio
Damn I didn’t know such an amazing masterpiece has the most toxic sub vs dub fans it’s disgusting.
I definitely prefer the dub version even tho I watched the japanese version first. The only regret is that they added additional dialogues in silent moments which were hurting some scenes but the emotions and the script itself more than made up for it. It's funny to think that Dub Yusuke is actually much closer to the manga version than Japanese Yusuke is.
Na dublagem americana ficou perfeito, esse grito que o Yusuke dá ficou muito foda!!
This show is such a perfectly cut gem in all aspects! its classic epitome of 90s anime and 80s life style and fasion, the most important thing that differs this show from others is the charecters feel they are living persons.
Top tier Dub. Usually I prefer the sub... Not this time.
Dub that is all
Morrigan is My waifu i agree with that
after watching it for the 100th time ,not only for the main characters there dialogue is so much more engaging, the side characters like the women sound more real then there very polite Japanese counter parts,its amazing how different they portray them ,they sound smart ,reasonable ,and filled with character.
I will admit the dub sounds really good. Especially right here (Dub wins here) But I just like how the sub is a more honest depiction of Yusuke, Yusuke is witty and confrontational but he’s not supposed to be this cool guy with the perfect one liners every time which is what most ppl from that watch dub enjoy. I get it, but Yusuke is a 14 year kid who has a strong personality but also someone struggles that with self confidence at least in the original manga and sub.
The dub is really good here but I just wish that line where Yusuke says "Pain you're in the way. Move it!" could've made it into the dub. I just think that was such a badass line
for some reason i love sub way more, i think yusuke’s dub voice is good but he doesn’t sound like a teenager like the sub makes him sound
I don't think teens sound like fetuses
Yusuke is 15. That’s a natural voice
Lame ass reason😂
I love this show, and this have to be one of the best protagonist I seen in shonen manga
One of the very few animes where the dub is more impactful than the sub
Remember guys 14 year old boy enduring this much pain
Damn right the dub's the way to go. RESPECT! Loving this anime.
I love this anime’s dub and in my opinion it’s like 1990’s anime have one of the best dubs
For me Yu yu hakusho is good in both dub or sub
To be honest I could watch this anime in both sub and dub and not be bored cause both are just that damn good!!!
Dubbed. I'm not emotionally invested in the subbed.
Star_ Link_VA are you sure you aren't blinded by nostalgia
KHfan890 I've never seen the original airing and just watched the anime in dub last week. Sub just isnt as dramatic and heart pulling. And this is coming from someone that isnt "blinded by nostalgia"
@@pablo8524 Fuck outta here.
@@pablo8524 Bruh I just finished the show so how am I blinded by nostalgia
@@dude1054 im glad I didnt waste my time watching the sub while the dub is 100 times better I was thinking of watching the sub because i have only seen four animes in dub Dragon ball z, Yu yu hakusho, Trigun , and Rouruni kenshin
I know most people favor Yu Yu Hakusho's dub over the sub. But honestly to me both are really good, It's weird to because most anime fans are always sub but in this case I believe the sub is underrated.
Everyone's talking bout just how great the dub is... please don't hate me for this... but I actually think I prefer the sub. I mean the dub isn't bad, its actually quite good... I just have a soft spot for subs.
Rachel DiscoStar ok at least u liked the dub they put alot into it
Why can't sub peeps be more like you? I'll take you over that other dude any day! Jesus, thank you for having common sense and being respectful.
At least you are respectful and not a complete ass like that other guy.
This is honestly the perfect dub. Justin Cook as Yusuke was perfect and it only enhanced the story.
Sub: “Pain, you are in my way! MOVE IT!”
Dub: “SCREW THIS TEST IM GETTING US OUT OF HERE!!!” The dub just has more of the feels to it
Puu-chan the legend my favourite character puu-chan he gave him a sip of water and made him get the power
Oh wow I didn't know the sub was so lame lmao. The dub blows this out the water
Jordan Johnson Facts
Well the dub was made like 5 or 6 years after the anime ended and but the voice acting had really changed in terms of showing emotion
@Death Savage weeb
@Death Savage Well it is true tho. You worship the Japanese like they're god or something
Death Savage its true lmao
Yusuke isn't Yusuke if he isn't voiced by Justin Ryan Cook imo!
Appreciate the showing of both. Never saw the sub, but getting to see both sides is always good
The dub I'll stick with as I believe it fits better for the voices and character. I agree with another person in that the script changes were good. The emotion and pain is far better demonstrated in the dub
And thus, it gets my vote
English version sounds like a cartoon more than an anime
Thanks guys, now I can watch it dubbed🤞🏾
I'm one of the few people who vastly prefers the SUB of YYH. I chalk it up to having seen it years before funimation got to it.
everyone will have their bias, i just can't stomach the sub after watching the dub i've tried but it just doesn't have the same emotion.
Steve Kent nah dub has more emotion but sub overall has better voice acting like the voices in the sub suit the characters while dub I’m kinda iffy on
Steve Kent I like sub more but dub has more emotion I just like that sub has way better voice acting
Steve Kent and all the voices suit the characters better
Steve Kent it does have better voice acting sub has way better voice acting
Hmm...sub vs dub version of Yu Yu Hakusho. So which version do I think is better?
-

Dub...Hands...down! The sub is great. Don't get me wrong (especially when Luffy's Japanese VA is in it 😇). But I feel that most of the characters are more believable and realistic in the dub version. There are a few characters in the dub that are a bit too ridiculous, such as Jin and Chu. But I actually think they are funnier in the dub despite their clearly outlandish accents. XD
I loved Jin. Chu was great too but Jin was my fav. Aside from the leads anyway.
Ripper 30 so?
Ripper 30 That's only yusuke and genkai and for his character to curse it makes sense. Yusuke cursing shouldn't come as surprised but him not actually cursing the original source material is what should come as a surprised.
Ripper 30 For the minor characters they were iffy but the for important ones that was never case.
The voice actors for the 4 main leads never sounded inferior to their sub counter parts despite being amateurish. The main villain like toguro and sensui am had great voice actors. Damon clarke toguro was beautiful.
Ripper 30 Of course not everything in this dub holds. I wouldn't mind it if got redub.
What is more amazing is the fact that Yusuke is doing all of this while wearing spirit cuffs.
Bro he didn’t even have them on at that point🤦♂️
@@ijustbevibin0425 yes he did
For the first ever I actually like the dub over the sub more emotion with the English and better subtle changes
@Nicky Yang sub elitist. We all know u just want attention bruh
This is one of those scenes the dub definitely did better. Goddamn .
Sub vs Dub needs to end at this point both are good , and the strength of both is based on the voices being a good fit and the acting from both being good , you can respect both always as long as they are genuinely good . This and Death note have both earned credit for both dub and sub being good
Dub representation overact with screams, while Japanese audio is literally an emotionally calculated representation of the scene.
The dub underacts and does not suit the animation like the dub does. Cook really sells the pain and the desperation while the sub, while good in its own right, should not aim for reserved during a scene with such high emotional stakes
Nah hes in literal constant pain so no shit hes gonna be screaming not to mention the dialogue is just way better for the dub too.
Unashamed dub lover here! And yu yu hakusho is my favorite show ever!!
I will say in this particular scene Sean Teague seemed to be having a slight case of "gotta talk real quickto match the mouth movements", or pacifier movements I guess. But since Yusuke doesn't have many mouth flaps here Justin Cook seems to be able to get his acting chops fired up more.
Justin Cook is a god. One of the best played roles of all time as Yusuke.
This might be the only anime were the English is truly superior. I even like the dialogue they used better. Some of the villains have pretty weak voice actors (Suzakus is so bad I skip those episodes) but all the main actors totally kill it.
nope
cowboy bebop
boccano
fullmetal
toriloveSubarukun disagree i dont mind any of the voices (besides Kuwabara his dub voice is awful) but the acting is still amateur there are decent scenes bit overall its not very good
Ripper 30 excatly the thing about his japanese voice is that the actor changes his voice depending on if its a serious or jokey moment with Chris Sabat i can never take him serious
The Japanese version does not have as much heart and I love kuwabaras voice. The dub of yu yu hakusho is definitely better than the dub of cowboy bebop, boccano and fullmetal. Seen them all and the only one of them that I prefer dubbed is cowboy aside from yu yu hakusho
Sam stundis wow i disagree with almost everything in that comment
I first watched YYH dubbed and this scene got me real emotional.... the sub did a great job too... but there is just something about Justin Cook’s performance as Yusuke in the dub that sounds more raw and emotional here. Still, both dub and sub Yusuke sound fantastic here!!
According to the DVD commentary,
(I had every single disc and only the last one had commentary and even a blooper track that’s a must-listen)
Justin couldn’t find a good fit for yusuke and some on the team suggested he try out for the part so he did.
Im usually a dub guy for than i a sub even tho i watch both with dub being the usual. I love the dub on this anime because it truly gets the feelings of pain and determination acrose
Love both but i choose dub
Steve Kent how?
@@matthewlafee5165 He doesn't have an answer because he's an Idiot.
I'm watching the sub now because its my first time watching it. That, and i know it's gonna be worth rewatching again, which ill do in dub
I don't usually prefer dub. But when I do, yu yu Hakusho comes to mind.
Classic also W Tsuna pfp

Steve Kent no
Wut
Powerful moment right here
1:29 that was weak as hell lmfao
It just can't compete with the dub.
1:41 And don't forget this one 🤣🤣🤣
For me it’s why do some people dislike the sub. I like both but it did take me some time to appreciate the original
Easily the Dub is better. I remember seeing this as a kid to even being an adult and it always choked me up. Justin Cook's voice acting always got me emotionally invested in Yusuke. I mean in this scene alone you can easily feel more as if he is in excruciating pain from the Spirit Wave Orb. But the OGVA just doesn't give me that same feeling. Most times I'm more Sub than dub but this is one of the few animes where the Dub is easily better
Aside from occasionally excessively punching up dialogue, the dub just works.
Here we observe the rare superior Dub in its natural habitat. Some believe it to be the only one in existence.
Ok I'm gonna be honest, I'm a bit of a Dub Fangirl. I usually only watch dubs but I can appreciate the subbed anime, however I have to admit that the main reason this is the best dub, in my opinion, isn't because it's vastly superior to other dubs (it's better than most dubs but it's not the only great dub) it's because the sub was meh in the first place so it greatly surpasses it. I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!!!!!
@Death Savage Not as cringe as the guy going to every comment saying the sub is better without any explanation as to why that is.
@Death Savage It's pretty difficult to miss when someone's saying the same thing over and over again in a comment section this small.
@Death Savage Lol. What is that supposed to mean?
@Death Savage Literally nothing within this context.
@Death Savage Alright this is getting boring. Do you have an actual reason to hate the dub or are you just trying to get a reaction out of people for kicks?
I like how the "hardcore anime fans" try to justify that the sub had more emotion.
Damian Rice right it bullshit
I swear these weebs hate on arguably one of the best Dubs ever.
The dub wins on this series
Ikr
I even have friends who are staunch sub people that prefer YYHs dub.
English did a great job with this one
Hiei also sounds a lot more evil and scary in the Dub versus Sub.
Yeah dub for Hiei is better but sub did a pretty good job. I love the laugh they gave him in the sub it sounds so sinister and menacing.
After seeing both versions, I can safely say that the sub is a 10/10.
But the dub is an 11.
The sub is anything but a 10/10 honestly this is one of the worst subs I’ve ever seen
THANK YOU. BOTH are good. Not sub is shit and dub is the second coming of Jesus. Personally the sub fits the characters more but the script and “extra emotion” if u will of the dub is better.
@@moonity6338 Hell naw Yusuke does not fit in the sub, Yusuke is supposed to be a badass kid and the sub made him sound like a dork and he also sounds like a woman at sometimes and the thing they did good was making him sound young
@@ota9007 but sub made him both badass also calm as well as outgoing and funny. I guess it’s personal taste cuz as his voice is higher, when he speaks more calm he goes lower and that’s nice for me. Also sub has iconic lines that other animes reference but it won’t work with dub :)
@@moonity6338 Justin best portrayed Yusukes cockiness and while showcasing his hidden heart of gold, Yusuke is by far the best shonen protagonist Justin cook perfected him, Yusukes a rebellious, tough attitude, playful street punk and theres nothing that reflected that off of Nozomu Sasaki portrayal of him
In the sub yusuke just does a generic scream while in the dub you can tell he is in a lot of pain
cuelholima
He said “Screw this test! I’m getting us out of here!”
Sub sounds like he's having diarrhea or something 😂😂😂
TBH I like both sub and dub.
These scenes in the dub actually hurt to watch, the sub was good but the dub just had so much emotion Justin Cook was amazing as Yusuke
This and DBZ are the only anime I watched dubbed.
Only a weeb would go with sub in this case. Like, most of the time I like the sub more but give credit where credit is due.
Raimboombox No
@@ream1622 no
@Tsunayoshi Sawada Their opinions are based on being annoying pricks
@Tsunayoshi Sawada I would go as far as to say the English Dub is objectively better. Not even a matter of opinion. There are clear audio issues, irregardless of the voice acting, in the Japanese Dub lol... those guys are weebs. they just can't admit it... they'll swear by your 1000 fold japanese katana that they think the japanese dub is better "in their opinion" and give retarded reasons like the one above.
@Tsunayoshi Sawada There being audio issues with the sub isn't an opinion. Its a hallow echo sound through the mic recording. Everyone can hear it you dimwit. You're proving my point when you say stupid shit like "yeah, it's myyyy opiniiiion terrible audio quality makes it more immersive!"
I might rewatch this in sub someday lol
Essa cena sem sombras de dúvidas e a mais emocionante do anime
Both but the dub brah is amazing
I'm glad that I chose dub over sub
Dub always and forever, gave it so much life. Sub sounds really watered-down in my opinion. Don't think I would've loved the Anime as much if I never heard the dub.
Pain, you are in my way. Move it.
Is just so hilarious to me
I'm the only person who prefers sub over dub here
Nah too many nostalgia driven dub isnt bad but I prefer sub
Nope and I’m always glad to find someone who actually knows that this dub isn’t good
@@kidjkeith6635 I think you just have bad taste dude lmao. Yusuke is supposed to saw like a punk delinquent but the sub does no justice to him
@@kidjkeith6635 No English voice acting at all is good, not even outside anime.
Only simps watch YYH in Japanese sub.
this is one of those animes that prove that the Dub can be just as, if not better, than the Subs
@Death Savage bet
I think one of the things I love about the dub more than the sub is that Yusuke in the dub talks and acts like an actual human. He's in pain and is desperate- he's not gonna be silent as his body rips itself apart. The silence is so awkward in the sub that it's distracting.
