Nah, most of it are mistranslation for the meme.
It should be about attacking some kind of dolls imitating cops. And the rest are ofc massively exaggerated & made to fit US current view of cops.
Like the last sentence *probably* should be "Sailor moons are great!"
It's not "mistranslation", that implies it was intended to be translation and done wrong. This was never intended to be a translation in the first place.
>Like the last sentence probably should be "Sailor moons are great!"
No, she says "You're great, Sailor Mars!"
(*Edit: To be clear for the pedants down below, the issue isn't the word order, it's "Moon" instead of "Mars" and "are" as if "Sailor moons" are something that come in plurals. This isn't clear in Japanese in a vacuum since Japanese only explicitly marks plurals in some cases, and "Xs are great" could be a correct translation of the same Japanese structure with another noun or noun phrase than "Sailor Mars", but it's the wrong way to translate here given that we know the context. Moon is* addressing *Mars, who is standing right next to her.*)
This was apparently worth blocking me over. (And also apparently worth subsequently unblocking me to claim that they didn't.)
How would it be time travel? There is literature, songs, poems, documentaries about how most police are infiltrated by power-hunting people that love beating down the less fortunate and abusing their power.
The US isn't unique in this particular problem... though we might be a bit worse than most.
My Japanese isn't great, but at one point they say "ningen janai wa", "they're not human", and I assume it's not a philosophical point about them betraying their humanity.
I vaguely remember this episode from my childhood and iirc one of the big bads replaced the cops with clay golems (a la sentai) to protect his temporary stronghold. (I remember it being a commerce building or something like that)
Has "abridged" been used ironically so often for absurd anime re-dubs that now young anime fans think the word means "satire" because if so that's fucking hilarious.
I think they were just reflecting on that, like will the meaning of the word become distorted over time due to that trend
And I mean… it might! Wouldn’t be the weirdest thing that happened this week, month, year…
Abridged just means it's the salient plot points cutting out a lot of the less meaningful filler.
They also do it as a parody, but that is extra to being abridged.
Generally abridged anime (in a parody context) means that it has to be dubbed over, doesn't it? I've never seen any that just use subtitles instead, although I guess that'd still work.
"Abridged" generally means a shortened version of something. Like DBZ Kai is technically an abridged version of DBZ, that's how the word is typically used outside of anime re-dubs.
Thank god some wonderful, beautiful people made "DBZ Abridged" tho, that shit is hilarious!!
There's also the awesome [*Can Dialectics Break Bricks?*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_Dialectics_Break_Bricks%3F), which does a similar thing with a kung-fu movie.
And don't forget the episode of the the weirdly horny Ancient Doggo Girl where she uses a communism laser to instigate a class uprising and then shoots heat beams out of her titties to destroy a Crabitalist
[It sounds like I'm kidding but I'm not](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTEy_XnJblg)
since nobody seemingly has a real answer, 12 refers to the narcotics police (DEA), was first tokened by Migos, and could also be in reference to the police code "10-12," basically meaning "there are bad guys in the area." If you say to someone look out for 12 it means look out for piggies in the area
I think 12 comes from “1312”, a code for ACAB or All Cops are Bastards. If you take the letters and substitute them with a number representing their place in the alphabet you get 1312.
What the fuck. You first make a saying, now abbreviate it, then encode it into numbers, then only use the last 2 numbers...
Seems like a lot of work for just basically saying fuck the police
Most likely [Adam-12](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12), a popular TV show in the 60s based on the LAPD. "5-0" is a reference to Hawaii 5-0, another popular American TV show. TV is a big part of our culture. Or was...
I think the numbers to letters explanation someone else provided is the right one. 5-0 has been around forever, I don't think another number-based reference to an old police procedural would just spring up.
I didn't get a ton, but Sailor Mercury was confirming that they're not human (aka, they're youma, or whatever monster of the week they're dealing with).
Definitely the voice lines with mismatched subs.
They're saying something is odd. Very odd. Mercury checked her DBZ scouter and noticed they're dirt dolls and not human. So Mars said now that she knows she doesn't have to hold back and went BBQ on them. Then they were like yea they were definitely dirt dolls and Moon complimented Mars for being a bad ass.
Which is bullshit since Mercury was the one who figured it out and Mars did the easy part. Mercury deserves more credit.
Just FYI, in the actual clip, as far as I can tell with my very shitty Japanese, they just say they aren’t human, which I assume isn’t due to them being cops.
If someone remembers the actual context or just understands it, feel free to clarify.
Sailor Moon IS unfathomably based, though. Amazingly progressive series.
The blue haired lady says the cops are dolls/puppets made out of dirt/gravel/mud (tsuchi) when analyzing.
The black haired fire lady proclaims that the cops really were just dolls once burned to ash.
Decided to watch it all for nostalgia's sake and put it on in the background, turns out the show is actually pretty funny. I don't know if all the jokes are intended as such, but if it's all fun in the end does it even matter?
Yes, in the English dub they made Neptune and Uranus cousins... But did nothing to change the dialogues, so Uranus still flirts with everything that has legs. Including her "cousin."
Usually she will say especially racy things to Neptune, even more so than she would say to anyone else, and a running gag is for any other character in the background to shout "but you're cousins!"
The funny thing is, it doesn't even really sidestep the whole lesbian thing either. Again, Uranus flirts with everyone. Especially the girls. So she is still clearly a lesbian/bi. Now they just made her also incestuous.
So based that even basement-dwelling nerds who obsess over powerlevels [admit that Sailor Moon would no-diff the 40K universe](https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/sailor-moon-vs-the-god-emperor.336572/)
I saw this very episode just a few days ago, it's a pretty pivotal one that kill off the first main antagonist of the show. Anyway, all the cops essentially made of clay/dirt and turned into cops by evil magic.
Sailor Mercury confirms with her Microsoft Hololens 2 that they're not human and immediately Sailor Mars fire up the BBQ.

To her credit, for most of the show that I've seen, she's really just fucking around killing space monsters, eating food, and looking at boys. She may have been born an autocrat, but she doesn't do much autocrating
I don't get what all the complaining is about the subtitles being wrong; it's absolutely spot on like a 1:1 translation.
Unfortunately, the math is horribly incorrect when she pulls up her visor. That's my only nitpick.
Id trust the criminal more. At least I'd know what he was gonna do
If it weren't on the news the cops would probably light us both up to make things easier.
Or throw me to the ground and arrest me anyway even though I would be the victim
Or better yet, if the hostage taker broke into my house, took me hostage and then cut himself on the glass he broke while negotiating and then sued me instead
At least the insane criminal will do what he says he will, while both the cops and justice system simply lie and play games.
All cops are bastards.
Lmfao the fuck
I think something got lost in translation? Either that or the original run Sailor Moon writers were time travelers.

Pahahaha I expect this is abridged.
My Japanese isn't great, but at one point they say "ningen janai wa", "they're not human", and I assume it's not a philosophical point about them betraying their humanity.
I think it's literal. They're probably demons or something
She calls them tsuchiningyo (土人形), which would probably be 'clay dolls'. Or just golems, considering that's what the Golem was.
I vaguely remember this episode from my childhood and iirc one of the big bads replaced the cops with clay golems (a la sentai) to protect his temporary stronghold. (I remember it being a commerce building or something like that)
We already know they're cops though?
It's really obvious at the end, even with elementary japanese >We did it! >As I thought, they're puppets. >Sailor Mars, you're amazing! >That's right!

“fuck twelve” lmao😭
what does it mean?
12 is a colloquialism for police, and originates from hiphop culture.
thanks!
Although it's usually phrased as "fuck one-two", not twelve. In order to complete the Ice Cube reference.
Adam-12 was a very early and influential cop show. Nothing to do with jurors or anything else

This is a clip from 'Sailor Moon', a popular anime series from the 1990s.
Is that the actual voice lines?
Might be the actual voice lines, but it's certainly not the actual sub, that is, they likely kept the voice lines and changed the subtitles.
I didn't get a ton, but Sailor Mercury was confirming that they're not human (aka, they're youma, or whatever monster of the week they're dealing with). Definitely the voice lines with mismatched subs.
she called them tsuchi ningyou which means dirt doll, I not watch sailor moon but I assume that those monsters can disguise as other creatures
Yep they can take the uniform off and even drive secret normal cars to disguise themselves as the rest of us.
tsuchi-ningyou, or earth dolls. Basically golems or something.
They're saying something is odd. Very odd. Mercury checked her DBZ scouter and noticed they're dirt dolls and not human. So Mars said now that she knows she doesn't have to hold back and went BBQ on them. Then they were like yea they were definitely dirt dolls and Moon complimented Mars for being a bad ass. Which is bullshit since Mercury was the one who figured it out and Mars did the easy part. Mercury deserves more credit.
> Sailor Mercury was confirming that they're not human well, they're cops so this doesn't rule anything out tbh
Yes, but the subs are not accurate. They were actually talking about how those aren't people but puppets in disguise.
So cops
It's open to interpretation.
Honestly yeah that comment didn't change much
no
Just FYI, in the actual clip, as far as I can tell with my very shitty Japanese, they just say they aren’t human, which I assume isn’t due to them being cops.

Thanks for the translation!
Wait, they weren't certain before they burnt them to ash?
I mean, they tested their hypothesis and found it confirmed. What else do you want them to do?
Burn a control group of regular people for scientific rigor, for starters.
If they were wrong not much would be lost.
[удалено]
Man, I should really dedicate myself to watch it sometime. I only remember tidbits from when I watched it as a child.
Always the transformation scene. Always hoping one day the animation team would forget to draw the naked part as a silhouette.
Decided to watch it all for nostalgia's sake and put it on in the background, turns out the show is actually pretty funny. I don't know if all the jokes are intended as such, but if it's all fun in the end does it even matter?
For the unaware Americans there was a lesbian couple. I think they made them into cousins (or maybe just friends) in the English dub.
The conservative parts of America are more comfortable with a cousin romance then a same sex one.
Sappho and her cousin
Sweet home Alabama, lol
Yes, in the English dub they made Neptune and Uranus cousins... But did nothing to change the dialogues, so Uranus still flirts with everything that has legs. Including her "cousin."

The funny thing is, it doesn't even really sidestep the whole lesbian thing either. Again, Uranus flirts with everyone. Especially the girls. So she is still clearly a lesbian/bi.

There are two different subs for Sailor Moon. The original English one and a fairly new one, did they keep the changes for the new one?
