So, I mentioned at my earlier post that a junior reminded me of my past, and a couple days since then I’ve been scavenging my old files and searching the internet for some old games and anime I enjoyed at good old days.
Ta da, here’s the team rocket motto from pokemon!!!
| Japanese | Translation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ムサシ: なんだかんだと聞かれたら | Musashi: If you ask us something or other… | Jessie: Prepare for trouble! |
| コジロウ: 答えてあげるのが世の情け | Kojirō: The answer we give will be the compassion of the world! | James: Make it double! |
| ムサシ: 世界の破壊を防ぐため | Musashi: To prevent the destruction of the world! | Jessie: To protect the world from devastation! |
| コジロウ: 世界の平和を守るため | Kojirō: To protect the peace of the world! | James: To unite all peoples within our nation! |
| ムサシ: 愛と真実の悪をつらぬく | Musashi: To carry out the evils of truth and love! | Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love! |
| コジロウ: ラブリー・チャーミーな敵役 | Kojirō: The lovely, charmy villains! | James: To extend our reach to the stars above! |
| ムサシ: ムサシ | Musashi: Musashi! | Jessie: Jessie! |
| コジロウ: コジロウ | Kojirō: Kojirō! | James: James! |
| ムサシ: 銀河をかけるロケット団の二人には…… | Musashi: The pair from Team Rocket soars through the galaxy! | Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light! |
| コジロウ: ホワイトホール、白い明日が待ってるぜ | Kojirō: A white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us! | James: Surrender now or prepare to fight! |
| ニャース: にゃんてにゃ | Nyarth: Something like that! | Meowth: Meowth! That’s right! |
You can see that the English motto varies quite greatly from the English translation of the original motto. But my favourite is still the Bahasa version:
James: “Jika ada yang bertanya apa dan siapa.”
Jessie: “Maka akan kami beri tahu jawabannya!”
James: “Demi menjaga perdamaian dunia.” Jessie: “Demi menjaga ketentraman dunia.”
James: “Pahlawan yang bergerak karena rasa cinta.” (not sure)
Jessie: “Pahlawan yang bergerak demi impian dan kesetaraan.” (not sure)
James: “Jessie!”
Jessie: “James!”
James: “Kami dua orang anggota Team Rocket yang hebat.”
Jessie: “Masa depan indah ada dihadapan kita!”
Meowth: “Dan aku Meowth!”
For those who have seen them before, I’m quite sure that in your head, you’re reading their motto with their sound hehe XD
