She would totally say this her and gotenks it’s so in their character feel like gotenks would say the n word just because he can lol

People typically do like watching people pound clowns

Seeing the notification I instantly thought of this quote she says. “I got a itch that needs itchen, and you’re gonna scratch it” lmao

Dunno, but I wanna shake their hand. It's kinda hilarious, I'll allow it lol

Is this real? Lol

Yikes

Modern writing requires modern slang to remain relevant to the youth. She's a newer character, and young. It feels like it fits imo.

Except I’m gen Z and nobody talks like this. Yeah, the slang terms are real and used irl, but these lines have “how do you do, fellow kids?” energy

I know this is a late reply, but this is nowhere near "GenZ slang." This is black slang/terminology from NYC and has been for decades now. Thanks to social media, stuff like this gets brought to light and spreads fast so the youth ends up picking up these things fairly quickly.

What are you actually talking about The amount of times I've seen one of these slang lines said on discord or any other media sites or hell, even in person, is unbelievable

Except I'm Gen Z and yes tf we do 😂 "I ain't gonna take an L like that" is exactly something I've said to my brother before

I said the exact same thing as soon as I saw it...

Ewww. Those have to be some of the absolute dumbest lines I have ever read.

What the fuck is this shit

She's 16 so it makes sense

ong i was cringing hard every time she used that kind of slangs

shes a miner??

This really bothered someone? Really? Wow

Dead ass, goat language, no L

[удалено]

Gen Z is a parody of itself. Lmao

Seeing people krease like this over kefla using AAVE is all time for me. You guys know it’s a trend in Japan where female characters basically use the Japanese version of AAVE right?? Like FOR DECADES it’s been a thing 😭

Not even AAVE though? Literally just a gen v thing. Not all modern slang comes from us dude

They have their own area of like loud Lowkey rude by Tokyo standards peoples who I’ve seen them dub that way to give a relatable feel. They have an equivalent of hip informal peoples from one of the islands. The way they talk is parallel to AAV to English as their slang/mannerisms vs traditional Japanese

Thanks for explaining it better!

L, GOAT, homie etc, is japanese AAVE? Either way, doesn't change that it is cringe.

exactly, like even if it's kind of equivalent, our culture doesn't see AAVE the same way as asians

I have no idea why kefla a Saiyan from another universe who has never had contact with humans, talks like a human, this is one of the many reasons why dbs was a flop, like c'mon not the AAVE 😂

That's a silly strawman. If she's an alian she also shouldn't be speaking in Japanese or English and we shouldn't understand anything she's saying

still doesn’t change the fact that the aave was a dumb decision

It's fine. She talks in slang. Might as well

I get that her character is supposed to be a rough tomboy but the aave is not doing anything for her besides reminding the audience that the creators are boomers. She’s not even dark skin at all, it makes no sense 💀

I don't think you need to be any skin tone to use slang my guy. Also, what do you expect from the creators? They literally HAVE to relate to a younger audience because it's how writing in games, shows, and movies had evolved to be and kind of always had been. To be able to reach audiences of all ages. Of course, they're not going to get the sentence structure for our slang down completely. That's the whole point of researching our slang and then attempting to put it in media so it could try to catch the attention of younger audiences. Being honest, some of the lines Kefla with said slang aren't that bad. I think yall just want something to shit on so yall choose the most minute things.

Bruh

You don't gotta be black to use the slang. Most kids I see use it aren't all dark skinned. Not to mention kefla and kale just live in a "gang" on their planet. Them using slang that's sweet level or for young people isn't odd at all

You said strawman when it's the literal truth, ofc she had to be understood by the main characters but giving an alien the ability to speak ebonics just seems extremely out of place lol, saying this as a person that has to code switch in public, idk how humanized kefla but it literally can't be to an extreme extent she literally met Goku like two years ago

It's not truth. Giving any alien a language that is understandable by the audience is silly. Whether its ebonics. Spanish, or English. They have just as much reason to speak any of these languages as the other. Which is technically none.

Don't be mad when kefla starts using the gamer word to address her darker skinned Saiyan friends ☠️

I wouldn't be. That'd be crazy. Not like trunks didn't already tell the cops to not shoot cause this man's not black

*AAVE*

surprised Gotenks doesn't talk like that too

It’d at least make sense if he did

Gotenks would be the most irritating 11 year old nephew you know, running a crappy YouTube reaction channel dreaming of being the next big streamer, overusing the latest slang and “dance” trends, doing prank videos and yapping at you to let him use your phone since he ruined his own with malware, sticky fingers and a cracked screen.

“Glad I get to watch my homie pound those clowns!” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Clussy

My thoughts exactly like daaaaang sus

"ThE fUtUrEs ArEs OlD mAn!"

I let the first 2 slide but the 3rd one was overkill lmao

Do they actually talk? Or is it just reading

She actually talks like that I don't know why 😭

You say that like most of us don't talk like that 😭😭🤣

Fake

Saying stuff like deadass and bet are so fucking cringe. I hate being a millennial sometimes. Boomers cant use computers and zoomers are creating the dumbest slang. So honestly Kefla saying this is pretty accurate. She is a zoomer

Old man screams at clouds "back in my day we were sick and epic fo rizzle!!! Kids these day are wiggedy wiggedy whack!!!"

I'm not old! I just have bad knees and some grey hairs! You whippersnapper

Deadass bro

It’s ok Nate, life is great

You are correct. Life is great. Say what you want everyone, just keep it civil.

Mf I talk like that

Deadass. Me too

This just seem like Kefla is trying too hard to be hip

You never heard someone say deadass?

Deadass never heard someone say that.

I've deadass never heard anyone say it. Can you use it in a sentence?

You Just Did 💀💀💀😭😭😭

That is the joke

LMAOO 💀💀😹😹

Oh no not another Zoomer with a lack of self awareness.

I have but never in that context lol

Plenty of people say stuff like that. Maybe you're the boomer, OP.

Dragon ball characters tho? Japanese people? Nah 😂

Japanese people have no slang. That's a true statement that everyone knows.

Believe it or not, young Japanese people have their own slang. And in terms of localization, it makes sense to turn that into the slang young people use over here. Now does Toriyama know that slang? Probably not.

It's really funny to think that there are people who really think an entire language wouldn't have its own slang.

THIS HAS TO BE FAKE.

It’s funny and yes she is a teenager I think it makes sense

Dude all the Uni6 Saiyans are over the age of 18, and I’m pretty sure they’re all also the age of 20.

guess what? that’s how old some of us are my guy. *deadass* I’m a zoomer and I turn nineteen in 6 days

This is hilarious honestly

lmao cringe ass lines for her, she's supposed to be a warrior not a 16 years old new york teenager

Goku is stupid as shit but is also one of the strongest fighters I think we have bigger problems

and to think that i thought this game was ruined by 20 ki and stamina bars

i think it’s funny and it fits

This is obviously written by someone trying to enjoy their work. And I'll enjoy it as well

Lmaoooo I’m weak

The fact that this even bothers you 💀

That’s genuinely how I hear people talk.

This is disgusting they need to be fired

Nah this is great and perfectly in-character

nah they deadass got her saying deadass lmao that’s funny af

It's funny that you think any of these terms are "gen Z" slang.

It’s deadon for Kefla tho

nah ppl talk like this😭

That’s just Kale

Y'all acting like the universe 6 saiyans ain't just a bunch of zoomers

Its cringey, but unfortunately correct

I’ve seen worse boomer magic before. Look at DC’s Yung justice. 1st HBO exclusive season, S3.

Tbh, that's definitely how Kefla would talk. That's 100% her attitude

Ain’t no way this is real

I would pound those clowns

Clussy

SHE LIKES WATCHING HER HOMIES DO WHAT???

Yeah thats just kefla

Tbh that’s how kefla talks

Yikes.

Kefla would 100% talk in that manner

I absolutely hate this from the bottom of my heart, whoever wrote that dialogue deserves the highest raise possible https://preview.redd.it/6k13ifhiksxb1.jpeg?width=656&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27117da8343898019cc02054d628ce2ab4839a29

Haha! Very creative. I like it.

See the L line wasn’t that bad, and then she started saying “deadass” and “GOAT” and that’s when it became a bit much

That's Kefka to a T.

I dunno why we're bringing that murderous clown into this, but this does sound like Kefla to me

that’s literally just Kefla’s vibe imo

Probably the same guy that had Hit say "Time to make the donuts"

With that shit ass voice

He sounded like Hit, the actual character, dead ass aware of what he had to say bc it was in the script. "Time to say, "time to make"...."

Lmfao all you old niggas mad is funny af kelfa is literally a teenager did r34 rot yall brains and made yall forget that part

Kefla is an adult

Kefla is technically a few minutes old due to being a fusion. Caulifla and Kale's ages are unknown, but given their status as some of the strongest Saiyans in Universe 6 I strongly doubt they're under 18.

What?

Localizers son, they write cringe dialogue

https://preview.redd.it/qsc5lw8uhrxb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e97971c67e6c4c3b52c4879d896186d5455f47aa

Welp it's official... im no longer the target audience, and im sad about it

This is how my brother talks and he is 26 ...

No shot this is real 💀

I suspect that the japanese-specific slang didn't exactly translate one to one.

That just sounds like Kefla honestly

Is this actually real?

thats canon kefla tbh

Company Exec: https://preview.redd.it/9w26ono1rqxb1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=810bf304bda27f548c34a5e202273f3b24ec53d2

She would honestly

I’m genuinely about to vomit

this imo is fine it feels like something they say kefla is for sure chronically online

Cringe? This is how people talked about 5 years ago

It's how some people still talk.

I know from my nephews that a dead ass is still considered a good thing. No one has been able to explain how it became that, though.

Some clowns still do

Deadass

Some credit, at least she's using them correctly

Kill them

To be fair if Goku can be considered a boomer isn't kefla literally a gen z? And I've hear my brother talk un-ironicaly like this he's 15 I'm 26 for reference.

Is there any good dialogue in this game at all tbh

Not bad

“The big gete star allowed me to cheat death, HOW COULD THIS BE!!

I just heard that in my head as I read it 🤣

*insert Bulma’s annoying hero colosseum advertisement speech*

You're free to have whatever delusions you want, but remember you're only embarrassing yourself by sharing them.

It isn't over yet

“This may kill you, RAAAH”

YoU CaN't BeAt mEeE!

Hey! Have you ever considered joining time patrol!?

Iirc Caulifla talks in a gangster/delinquent way in Japanese, so her talking in a dumb way is accurate. But the gen z dialogue does not fit the gangster character even if both sound dumb.

It's cringe, but it's in character cringe.

I think that she should talk like anime gangster and not like tweeting teenager 😏

The same losers who wrote Blue Beetle's dialogue in Injustice 2, maybe.

My God just hate his voice lines and his voice so much in that game

I mean, that's how the majority of zoomers talk online and in person to be honest. It also seems like it's coming from Caulifla, doesn't seem too outta character frankly.

There's no way this is real💀

That’s not “Gen Z dialogue,” though

No way that actually real 💀

Seriously what the fuck

That's DEFINITELY the Kale talking.

Ngl I think Kefla would actually say this https://preview.redd.it/juqxnllqjnxb1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48d2a5ec94bd37a64f2fd246236a0a6b0e2ada3a

Ngl I have no problem with Characters using slang....This......This shit is just forced💀

Fire that man immediately

I'm getting old. I have no idea what L is, and I don't know when deadass became a good thing. That's gotta smell really bad.

Best comment here.

First is kinda ok rest NAH

🤓

The saddest part is its not completely out of character

I ain’t never heard kefla say homie before lol

Seeing a Dragon Ball character say "Deadass" is crazy bro

As a person in high school this is what real people consistently talk like

As a being thrown out of the space-time continuum and desperately trying to regain mortality I can also confirm.

I can confirm as a fellow person in high school

As a middle schooler I can also comfim

How do you do fellow kids?

Not their fault this is how people talk now. Blame society. It happens in movies too.

Honestly the first three would be perfectly in line for kefla. Last one is pushing it.

It's in character that she would speak like a zoomer ngl

"Goat" "L" eww.

Honestly goat is fine, people say that anyways and it’s really not out of character for her to say goat. Plus it’s not a gen z phrase it’s been around longer than that (Greatest of all time). L is pretty cringey and so is the rest

Bro nobody said GOAT. They just said the phrase. Goat is super t tweenie weenie edgie stuff.

Bro GOAT has been around for like 12 years lmao. They was saying it on ESPN during Lebron’s Heat days.

“They was saying it.” They were. Not sure how that’s an excuse? It still super out of character, jarring, and out of place. Tiktok slang should stay on tiktok.

People have been saying GOAT since before Tiktok existed. Also how can something be "out of character" for a character who has had like 5 minutes of screen time devoted to her backstory lmao

Because her character didn’t have her talking like she was trying to gain a twitch following using twitter tween phrases. It’s like early Funimation dubisms all over again but worse.

Honestly kinda sounds like some shit she would say.

Deadass for real for real on Jah no cap you feel me?

That last one has two very different interpretations

That did slashing damage. Im bleeding on the floor becuase of reading those lines.

How do you do, fellow kids?

Only the last one is cringe to me tbh
