Person of Japanese descent here. 'You bitch' is actually a very fair translation, and definitely not a mistake. Saying that 'Temee' (手前) simply means 'you' to an English speaker is actually kind of disingenuous, because English speakers see 'you' as a neutral word, whereas saying 'you' to someone in Japanese even in a more polite way can actually be pretty confrontational and aggressive. The best thing to do is to actually say the person's name and to attach the correct honorific, or to omit the subject entirely if it's already clear you're referring to them. 'Temee' (手前), on the other hand, is outright hostile and ridiculously, insanely aggressive. Like if you hear someone say (yell) 'Temee' in real life, they're essentially escalating what we can assume is already a heated situation to a fist-fight. 'Temee' translating to 'you' is like saying that 'asshole' in 'hey asshole' translates to 'you' because you're using it to call out to someone. Yeah, asshole does kind of mean 'you' in this sentence, but there's a TON more going on, and the nuance is completely different.

2025-03-29 20:53:08 +0000 UTCThese episodes do a good job in making you forget what the objective is which is Luffy trying to rescue Ace. Even though we cut back to Luffy and Hancock on the Marines ship, you are getting distracted by Hancock simping over Luffy. Imagining scenerios of them together, her jealousy towards Nami and Robin, and just the overall feeling that you would get towards your first love. I assume Luffy is her first and possibly only love though. Judging by her past and how she carries herself, I doubt she's had any interest towards any kind of love related relationships. Then towards the end of episode you get slapped into reality, back to the seriousness of the situation. Ughh, the writing in this show is so good :)
