Faiz 9-10:
You know, I think episode 9 is the first time Faiz rides his bike, and it's not even Takumi in the suit. I tell you, this show could
not
care less about viewer expectations. Naturally these episodes are largely setup for the next series of plot threads, but even on their own there are still interesting things happening. We're up to our third Faiz already, obviously, but this time is more significant for a few reasons. Smart Brain is using him as a hitman to take out Orphenochs they don't like, which is a fascinating way to reframe what should still be "normal" behavior for a Rider, the guy with the belt is a major supporting character, and since this comes right after Takumi was starting to appreciate the good he could do as Faiz, the loss of the belt hits him pretty hard, making for good character development. Also, assuming the one playing Faiz is always Takaiwa, it never ceases to amaze me how much he can completely change his body language to fit different characters. He's
very
good at his job.
でも、そんなに上手じゃない人もいるから、ファイズ翻訳ミスコーナーです~!今日の翻訳ミスはこれだ!
「お待ちしておりました。どうぞこちらへ。」
This isn't a mistake that's going to ruin the narrative or anything, but it's another great example of a sloppy translation resulting in a backwards line. After getting a call from Smart Brain, Mari heads there with Takumi for a meeting with the president, and is greeted by this woman. She says they've been waiting for her. "We've been expecting you" would probably be the most natural way to translate it. What seems to have happened here is that the translator, doing this all by ear, heard something about waiting, and jumped to conclusions without thinking about it too hard, despite the sentence in Japanese being fairly clear-cut. Because Mari and Takumi haven't been waiting at all. They got here about half a minute of screentime ago and were just walking down a hallway when this lady approached them. I don't want to nitpick "fluff" dialogue like this
too
hard, and maybe I should just be grateful these episodes didn't give me something big to pick apart, but minor or not, it's representative of a larger problem with Faiz's fansubs.
W 9-10:
You know, I probably should've mentioned this earlier, but it's surprising to me how much the actors for the main characters slipped into their roles right away. Usually in those first couple episodes of any show, you can tell at least a little that everyone is still getting a feel for things, but here it seems like everyone had a super strong grasp on who they were playing right from the first episode.
What makes me bring this up now is that this arc focuses heavily on Akiko, a character I remember be more obnoxious than this. Which is weird because she's been one of my favorite things about the show going back to it. Her interactions with Shoutarou really liven things up, and without her around, he wouldn't get to do the whole "comically angry" bit he's so good at.
On a side-note, I also can't help but love that Double was confident enough in itself to make an important scene of Kirihiko further establishing himself as Shoutarou's mirror image, upper class rival by talking about how much he loves Fuuto into a jokey exchange where he mistakes Shoutarou for a stalker, holds his lips shut, and ends up giving him his entire life story, rambling for so long that even after cutting away for almost a full minute, he's
still
banging on about it when it cuts back to them. Given how Kirihiko's arc develops, I guess there's a logic to showing a goofier side to him here, but it's still a bold choice all the same.
