Full Script: Jean's Quotes

Here are all the quotes from everyone’s favorite French Karate practitioner.

These quotes are translated in context (a fight), because literal translations from Japanese to English can, at times, just sound weird. Therefore, I’ve taken a little artistic license with some…

These quotes are taken from 1P in Arcade Mode, as this mode contains the Countdown Screen/Continue quotes. Special item pose quotes are also included.

Entrance Quotes　-hold the direction until the match starts

“最強の格闘技を教えてやろう。。。　空手だよ。”

“Omae-wo zetsubō-de mitashite-yaru! –I’ll fill your life with despair!”

I just recently grown curious on what some of the item quotes translated to. You'll cover more, hopefully?

Either way, thanks for this.

 

Did you do all of those by yourself? Thanks a lot!

 

フォアグラにしてやる

Haha, that's terrible. Good to know there are some cheesy lines in Japanese as well.

 

Yeah, that one's a real clanger.
I had to listen over and over to make sure I wasn't mistaken. Mincemeat would've been my choice of food but hey, he's French, so foie gras it is!

 

Yep. AFAIK, this the first full translation for Jean, that's why I tackled him first (toots own horn). If there are others, please let me know, I'd like to see how my version stacks up. Cheers
