So a more accurate translation could be this? Aqua's call-in stream headcount: 0

Why would translate someone with gender neutral when the gender(pronoun) is already known?

couple of things: 1) Japanese '-san' isn't a pronoun, it's an honorific. Pronouns are used in place of a person's name to avoid repetition, honorifics are added to a name to add additional meaning 2) Just to point out, almost all European languages are gendered in some way, including the pronouns. English is actually LESS gendered than a lot of other euro-langs. So if you're translating into any romance/germanic language be prepared to have to deal with this issue. 3) the They/Them suggestion is a good one, but some words of warning: this is a politicized topic in English speaking countries at the moment. I think it's your best blanket option, but be aware it isn't 100% 'safe' Issues boil down to 2 points: a) singular they/them (1 person, as opposed to multiple persons) is not formal English. It arguably SHOULD be, since English speakers have used it forever, & it is highly useful... but it isn't. So 'language nazis' will likely comment on it from that angle b) it's being pushed by left-wing political elements as part of their attack on traditional gender roles/values. So using it could be misconstrued as being in that political bloc, even if that is not at all your intention. Of course, using the correct gendered pronouns could also be considered a political statement... yadda yadda we live in interesting times :/ Again, they/them is your best bet if you don't want to have to learn & correct each translated pronoun... it just isn't the easy non-controversial answer you want.

You did very well. Thank you very much for your efforts and that cute animation. Don't sweat a few little details.

@@kgoblin5084 on point 3, it really is a can of worms tbh. I will full admit to the they/them thing bothering just on the basis of language. I also tend to question if when people use it like that if it’s a political push or a genuine usage. Not particularly because I take a side on modern western “issues” because frankly I think both sides are being childish, but because the climate is at a point where everything is polarized and being made political. It’s so annoying that because everything in the west is being divided in Left and Right that things as simple as this can be legitimately questioned. Whatever happened to “live and let live”?

@@astral6749 that lost was a legendary bruh moment right there

They say even Dolly Parton lost in a Dolly Parton contest.

@@ReLite_The_Hero~~ she didn't even get to enter because they thought "no way in hell you could pull off someone as sweet as Dolly"~~ my b, i was thinking of someone else

@@etypefan1 lol, really?

@@ReLite_The_Hero ah i was thinking of someone else, Dolly got trounced in a drag queen contest not what I said before

This is like Charlie Chaplain entering a Charlie Chaplain look-alike contest and winning 27th place out of 40 competitors

Honestly Aqua had it, but she outplayed herself in classic baqua fashion

Sasuga my best friend

She did go to the karaoke with friends and the machine ranked her friends above her. *They sang Ahoy! by the way.*

Marine was trying to make herself sound fake

Exaggerated swagger

@@benevolentpussyconnoisseur4024 she does have the exaggerated swagger of a young Japanese pirate.

@@TheCCBoi based boomer pirate truther

The exaggerated swagger of a Japanese pirate cosplay

@@TheCCBoi gives me chills every time

Well, she was right on the money. Marine did arrange beforehand to do a voice that sounds wrong to throw her off, exactly as she predicted, but in a classic Baqua move, she picked the wrong one.

Aqua tried to big brain it and in an unexpected turn of events she overdid it lol

Bacute-a

She is called Baqua for a reason

@@dhupee eh ada dafa

You must have good ear to recognize fubuki.

Yup, the only reason I recognized Marine and Matsuri is because one has oppai and the other has noppai.

Damn you must have good ears to realise it was Fubuki.....

Matsuri get her cover blown away by chuckling Fubuki just deranged Marine purposelly pitch up her voice

fubuki talk very fast, so you can easy recognize her, not from her voice but from her talk's speed You can recognize her speed from her first introduce

It wouldn't surprise me to learn "Ahoy" is on the audition set-list.

Someone tell Sodafunk!

Well, if everyone in Hololive is really just one person, it's a given.

I wonder if Marine had to learn how to imitate Marine before she became Marine...

@@Mernom ten answers science still cant question

True after free falling in the rabbit hole for over a year it's impossible not to distinguish PPT!

@@hiddenman4084 yeah pretty much. Also with thier voices you can slightly hear the Differences in between them.

Especially when their voice breaks a little, they make distinctive sounds we could now easily pick up

@@bukojuice315 back then it was kinda the same but now it's hard not to know who is talking by just hearing it. I honestly forgot about this video before so it was a nice call back.

Dude! Same! I saw this long ago and it was impossible to differentiate. But now it's so easy, I guess I can consider myself a veteran now :'D

i relate to them www onion bulli yes

well yeah.. in Marine Hell part 2. Aqua to determine the real Marine ask all participants to insult her. the M in Minato also means something else

@@ichiroutakami4189 you reminded me of a certain interaction between Aqua and Okayu where because both of them are Ms, Aqua can’t provide that kind of vibes to Okayu so Okayu was messing around with Marine instead

PEKOPEKOPEKO

She's the easiest to tease and has the funniest reactions. Half the time she doesn't even realize she's being made the butt of a joke.

Is it the eyes or the tail they can't hide? Maybe the eyes was a fey thing...

@@Nowolf usually it's the tail, but it can be hidden under clothes.

Nope, it was Tanuki (Japanese Raccoon dog) who can shape-shifting according to Japanese folklore

@@littlechemie5425 Fox can do it too

@@littlechemie5425 Tanuki's can disguise into anythingand are masters of diguise. Kitsunes(foxes) are only able to disguise as humans but can also change the enviroment to fit their trickery like making an illusory mountain inn. Usually doing it to trick humans, but they can't hide their tails.

Matsuri wrote "Mariso" (マリソ) instead of "Marine" (マリン) "so" (ソ) and "n"(ン) looks the same

@@VFS05 similar*

@@arcanedarkling literally what the guy said bro

@@applebabbleextra5099 They said "THE SAME" not "SIMILAR"

@@arcanedarkling Looks the same doesn't mean "is the same" something can look the same and not be literally the same thing. Thats why he said "Looks the same" and not "they are the same thing" you are just incorect

It means aqua was still doubting her answer. If she is certain, she would not change her mind.

Yes, but statistically if asked you should always change your answer

@@drowningin It seems you’re thinking of the Monty Hall paradox, but that in no way applies here.

@@DesktopPanda96 it would apply if any of the choices were eliminated. It doesn't have to just be 3 choices, 4, 5, 6, etc work. If you are asked to change answer after another option is revealed to not be correct you increase your odds by picking again

@@drowningin These weren’t blind choices with an equal chance of being correct; the choice was based on which girl did the most convincing job of being Marine. And then she was asked if she was sure of her choice before any unselected option was revealed to be incorrect. Both of those make this an invalid case for the Monty Hall paradox.

天使の輪やで。確かに手裏剣にも見えるww

Eye patch fubuki looks really cute. Well tbh they're all cute.

Aqua has fainted Marine has fainted

Thanks for the explanation!

Guguru Honyaku LOL. Yes, those translation tools aren't enough. Additional lesson from JP Bros comes in handy too. They are nice!

Nah man, it's obviously convex :^)

Don't worry, you are not the only one

and im trying to keep~

Yeah especially how "BIG" marine is comparitavely

She got at second attempt
