[Kamen Rider Ultra]

O.K. Barron being turned on like that, caught me off guard. - a little.

Bravo/Durian looks awesome. It looks like Kaba-chan paved the way, for more gay cast members to be included in the Kamen Rider's series.

Why do I get the feeling that Bravo is going to be the first to die in this series.

Will he be so serious that he ends up killing Kurokage or Gridon? Thus forcing Gaim and the others to take it there also? Zangetsu looked like he wanted to finish off Gaim.

Did that blonde, red eye chick try to warn Bravo too?

I just don't understand the point in translating a pronoun, a name, backward form it's literal spoken form.

Because Kurokage's name doesn't have a joke revolving around it. The whole point of them translating Gridon to Ornac was because the joke would be completely lost on whoever didn't know Gridon was a half-assed anagram of whatever acorn is in Japanese.

I'm not a big fan of it either, but whatever. Like I repeatedly say it takes 30 seconds to change a sub track on an mkv if its that much of a bother to people.

Could you show us how to do that?

I don't think it's a big deal either. I prefer Gridon to Ornac. Actually I prefer Corna to Ornac but it's pretty hard to get the joke across in English anyway. But since it's easily changed it's fine.

I can't do screencaps as I'm currently without a laptop, but I'd be happy to explain Maybe I'll do a pictorial guide once I have it back again.

You'll need the following two programs - Aegisub and mkvmerge

- Open up the episode in Aegisub, which will give you access to the script.
- Find the word you want to change, and simply retype it in to the box provided
- Save the new script (I think it saves as an .ass file)
- Open mkvmerge
- Add the episode, and untick the box for the old script
- Add the newly created script and tick the box so it's the default script
- Mux the two together, and it'll create a brand new file with them both combined

That sounds...really complicated when you type it out But trust me when I say its dead easy. Muxing the new file takes about 30 seconds to a minute tops. I went through every Go-Busters file during the mecha name debacle and it took about 20-25 mins to do them all.

Now I'm a total newbie with this whole video thing, but does that re-encode the video?

I'm not really sure what it does in technical terms, other than that it completely reproduces the video with the new script

While I get that it's a joke, I just don't see the point in localizing a joke for us at the cost of the characters name, especially when it's such a one note thing. Trying to make it more understandable has actually made it more confusing for me at least.

I agree, I did not get the Ornac reference. It wasn't really straightforward and keeping the name would have made no difference.

But again, it's no big deal. I just didn't think it worked.

From what I've read Bravo might turn into a big bad for a little while. Dude's seriously F'ed up.

Plus durians. Yuck.

Wow, you do not want to mess with Mister Dangerous.

Bravo looks fantastic, and Kurokage/Gridon are a brilliant little double act. Every time I have a moment of thinking this show has too many riders already something happens to reassure me the writers know exactly what they're doing.
