I found the article that « Ar tonelico » Yurisika is naked at Chirashi no Ura de Game donhou-san.
When I watched that video… gokuri…
And there is this phrase…

What I wanna say is….. this article is picked up at the foreign major game site kotaku.
The reaction is … « can you believe this is rating CERO C even this has such scenes? »
There are more than 200 comments, and of course it has a discussion.
« Yes, I believe it. Sailor Moon has much more nudy scene. » LOL
 Ar tonelico 3 Qoga : Knell of Ar Ciel
(I wanna play games after a long period….. such as Loveplus…)

Let’s move to the main topic.
It’s about the title as it is.
First Gundam TV series was broad casted in US, and that famous scene was ran in US with English dub.
That video was uploaded on Youtube.
It might be easy to understand if wa watch the original version.

Brightslap (English dub)


Amuro was totally tired after the many battles. At that time, Bright ordered her to go on patrol, and Amuro refused that order. Then, the leading scene of Gundam comes…..

I like Amuro’s hair style.

Angelsydeon 　USA 24 yo
Nobody dislikes that Amfro.

TheAstonishingJosh 　USA 20 yo
Ehhhh?? Did Bright need to slap Amuro?

Geoxile　USA 17 yo
“It’s tough…but I guessI’m a man afterall.”
Oh Shit. Manuro….

katie5000 　USA 24 yo
What? Who is « Manuro »!? lol

See4 　USA
After Bright left, I thought Amuro took it out on Frau.

Pikatroid42 　USA 15 yo
Why Halo’s English dub is always strange like this?

GOODPLAYA20　USA 20 yo
It’s only me who can see Bright as Superman? Really, he would be the same with that costume…

djino96 　Philippine 27 yo
Amuro’s voice reminds us of Zoid’s RD and Hurry Champ.

Starwind18020 　USA 24 yo
Same voice actor, brother.

killacam5star　USA 25 yo
I think it’s similar to GundamW’s blond character.

Is it Quatre?

roothands　Nashville
The same voice actor, Brad Swaile.

asonromulus 　USA
What!!!??? Brad Swaile plays Amuro? That’s why I thought it’s similar to Death Note’s Raito.

Kizame777 　USA 18 yo
Amuro’s voice actor is same as Death note Kira.

MRIlls 　USA 22 yo
It means when Amuro beats Char….
«I pick up potato chips…. and eat it!!! »

Magitek111 　England 18 yo

Both has brown hair if I remember well.

KdavisJr86　USA 23 yo
Amuro is also the destined man to be a king of the new world!
　
ridleyman90 　USA
Bright says « Amron » on 1:13….

Soraymustdie　Taiwan
This dub is better than British version….

chrisbam1989 　USA 20 yo Video Owner
Exactly. I picked up the better English dub version!
It’s by Canadian staff!! lol

SCSNSE　USA 20 yo
British version you mention is the one cinemalized in Japan in 80s and dubbed in English, right? VHS was released in US.

Arzaker　England 28 yo
We could see Bright slap in Char’s counterattack.
Sorry Hathaway….

GOODPLAYA20 　USA 20 yo
That tradition is succeeded to Z Gundam. Emma slapped Camille.

liamnaruto 　USA 30 yo
I found the parody in Lucky star.
When Shiraishi Minoru was slapped bu Akirasama, he said this phrase.

KingGhidorah1950
Amuro has such wet eyes….

BottledAwesome 　Ireland 22 up
Bright needed to flap that bitch….

ColeVecsion 　USA

If Bright showed up in evangelion as a guest, he would slap emo Shinji. Then, Eva might be a better work.

Linky56 　USA 19 yo
He is needed in SEED rather than Eva. He is talented as a pilot but he becomes coward at battle…..

Miroku1218 　USA 19 yo
If Bright attack got Kira, he might change his mind as Amuro…. not becoming such emo boy…

　　
xzeroXsmash　USA 20 yo
First Gundam and Gundam W are my Star Trek… So, Bright is Mr.Spock for me.

StrikeFreedom986 　Philippine
We should do the new internet meme aboutt his Bright slap.

CidHighwindFF7　USA 23 yo
Actually it is already. It was already « Normal » meme long time ago. Well it’s in Japan, though. It’s slike Darth Vader’s « Luke, I’m your father ».

mushmouth4life 　USA 27 yo
In original Japanese, Bright said Amuro was spoiled because he was never slapped by his father. But in this English version, Bright showed his short temper and said him to be mature. Japanese Bright is much more manly…. That’s sad….

Raptorianxd 　USA 25 yo
This was the turning point for Amuro.
If there was no Bright, Gion might win… The real hero was Bright!
AkerGraham 　USA
I think Kira Yamato needs Bright slap.　

Raptorianxd 　USA 25 yo
Yeah. Shin needed the one at the end, too. Usso, too.

mattiathekaiju 　Italy
Shar : I will not die, Never die!!!
Bright : Bright slaaaaap!!!
Amuro : Captain Bright!?
Shar : Ughaaaaaaa!!

kriegsdorff 　USA 27 yo
Fraubo is such a silly name….

Kwinh
This posing is impossible! Lol
————————————————————————————-

Yeah… I thought the same… ^^
The posing just after this scene is interesting, too. It’s really acting…
Not only posing, but phrases, too.
« What’s wrong to slap!? »
« I… am such a cheap person!? »
« Unfortunately, I am a man… »
For me, these tastes of First are touching!!
 MEGA SIZE MODEL GUNDAM 1/48 SCALE
(Mecha design has some kind of taste. Nice!)


Many people asked Bright to slap other weak characters.
Kira Yamato, Shin Asuka, and even Shinji…. Many asked Bright to give slap to them.
Bright is dealt as a person who gives the fighting spirit! Lol
Oh, he slaped his son Hathaway in Shar’s counterattack… I think I watched this, but I don’t remember….

Also they talked a lot about Amuro’s English voice actor.
It seems to be played by Brad Swaile, and he seems to play many anime characters. Dragon Ball Z Goku (adult) and Maison Ikkoku Godai etc.. He has many career. I think he is playing very well as Amuro. Not bad at all.
But in film, the English voice actor seems to be different… Let’s check the film version.
Brightslap – Dubbed Gundam Movies


Hum??? Not only the voice actor, but phrase was changed???
There is no phrase « Even my father had never slapped me »…
No way. You should not change this phrase… Please explain what he says exactly… ^^;
 Mobile suit Gundam UC (Unicorn) 1 Blu-ray
(People who watched preview gives the high evaluation. We could expect..)

Personally, I was happy to know there were many Americans who know this even First Gundam failed in US. The reason First Gundam was not accepted is that Gundam W was already broad casted and popular, then First Gundam’s poor artwork was not popular compared to that.
Finally, this was closed after that 9.11…
According to Patrick Macias’s Otaku in USA, « It is judged that showing the war to children is inconsiderate » Mark Simmons who edited English script said.
Also, it is written that after closing First, Gundam W which children commit terrorism was re-run. That’s the reason First didn’t have enough popularity. Anyway, I was really happy to know there are many foreign Gundam Otaku who know this unfortunate First Gundam.
Oh, is it true Bright was only 19 yo when he slapped Amuro? O_O
