I'm more inclined to agree with RiderSkyward about it possibly being a substitute, simply because I find a lot of anime to swear in English as a means of getting it through, while you'll still find words that are bleeped out (Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt was a prime example of this).
I don't speak Japanese so I'm not authority, but thought it was worth mentioning Plus, Jin has swore in English twice on Go-Busters now.

There's nothing wrong with the words.
You have to remember, there is no almighty Webster going around telling other countries that certain words are taboo. The connotations of a word here doesn't hold the same weight in Japan. There it's just a word. It's not Japan being lax, it's just our culture assuming that curse words here are curse words there, too. It's kinda like a Jamaican assuming bumbaclot is a curse word everywhere. |

You might just be in an alternate dimension. Tell me, is Sun Vulcan commonly heralded as an amazing show?

I didn't really get it across well, but my point was more, is what the subbers actually translate to bastard actually a Taboo/swear/cuss in Japanese? Obviously words carry different meanings in most parts of the world, like wanker. Or Jin saying shit in English. Heck it even extends beyond language, like the peace/V sign, if its done the wrong way round, is considered swearing in England.
Anyway I'm drifting of course. To settle it, we're saying japanese kids tv shows contain Japanese taboo words? |

Unless one of us speaks fluent Japanese, we can't verify that the words they're saying would also be considered "Taboo" in Japanese, and it's not just the subbers placing English curse words in.

I assumed the swearing was always like poetic license for subbers. They obviously know the audience/downloader is going to be older than the original intended market so why not make it a bit more edgy and real. That or it's a Japanese idiom that does roughly mean that 'swear word'

If I ever destroy the world, I'll have solace in knowing I'll take all of you with me.
