I always assumed that he walked in on Dr. J and Prof. G getting it on.

I liked that scene when Otto charged into the command center and blows up the place, but the dubbed verison of what Otto shouted was wrong.

"Long live King Zechs!"

what is that? it's suppose to be just plain- "For Zechs!!!!!"

Perhas that scene was just t make fun of the fact that Zechs ISsuppose to be a King, but yeah, i didnt get that line. I think they just screwed it up in the dubbed, like every other anime. That;'s y i perfer the subbed script over dubs.

It's debatable weather or not what he found in the first cell was the scientists or something sexual. I personaly think something was going on and he found the scientists in another cell. I mean, Duo is the comic relief in Wing, so why not?

Actually the usual reason that dubbers change the dialogue around and make it different from the Japanese dialogue is because if they don't, then the movements of the mouths of the characters will be off and it will look like one of those cheezy Godzilla movies where the mouth movements are all off and it looks stupid. Japanese sentences are structured differently from English, obviously. Some statements are long in Japanese but short in English, and vice versa. If they copied the script word for word and translated literally the English dialogue wouldn't fit with the Japanese mouth movements.

Of course this isn't always the case. Another major reason dubbers change the dialogue is to make the jokes more American-friendly. Not everyone understands Japanese cultural references, nor do they have the time necessarily to try. And in the occasional case, yes the dubbers do just blatantly screw everything up, but it's not as common as you might think.

I'm not saying I favor English dialogue more than Japanese. I'm simply pointing out the common reasons for altering the script during the dubbing process.

Example: "Long live King Zechs" fit with Otto's mouth movements. His mouth opens and closes four times, which implies four words. In the Japanese version the dialogue fits the movement. But English translation would have revealed a gaping discrepancy in the timing of the words. So the people involved in dubbing GW decided to alter the words just a little to not only fit the movements, but still underscored the meaning of the moment. It's true Zechs would be King had events occurred differently, so Otto's statement in Englsh isn't all that far off base. In my mind it's not the worst dialogue change I've ever seen. After all, have you ever seen DIC's butchering of Sailor Moon?

DIC's version of Sailor Moon is the only one i ever saw. Was it realy that bad to the origenal dialog? Oh and to answer the question of what duo found in the cell, it was the scientist nothing sexual. Its been years sence iv seen the show but i remimber it clear as day. Nothing sexual ever happend in a cell in that show. Well at least not anything that we got to see

lol.

You haven't seen it in years and remeber it clear as day. Dude, no one has an answer to that question. Hell, even my buddies over at GameFAQs couldn't answer it.
