Kamen Rider OOO - Talk Up!

[Darkster]

It could have been moved around the world before retuning to Japan.

The only thing the belt says thats in English is 'SCANNING CHARGE!' the rest is all Japanese words. TAKA! TORA! BATTA!

 

[Darkster]

I must admit it is interesting that it says "scanning charge."

 

[Black Fang]

The only thing the belt says that's in English is 'SCANNING CHARGE!'

Hence my question.

 

[dchoc]

Hence my question.

Well, I think it just reads off what the sword had... which was man made based on the the cell medals...

 

[Skiks]

Another observation: why does the belt speak English? It was sealed in the 13th century, long before Westerners began interacting with Japan on a significant scale. If you really want to compare Den-O to OOO, just look here: another case where toys defy show logic.

I think this is just one of those moments where we can use our suspension of belief for a bit. Why are the beasts in ryuki named in english? Why are the blade cards in playing card format when they came long before the creation of playing cards? Why do the Faiz belts speak english when the villians that made them are primarly in japan?
It just goes on forever.

 

[Darkster]

The Rider Gears were made by a global corpoation, so it makes sense that it's in English. The Mirror Monsters were created by Kanzaki Yui, so she may have given them those names when she was a child. Blade, I'm not even going to touch...

 

[Reimon]

The mechinical belt speaks.

 

[KouAidou]

Perhaps more importantly, the word "scan" isn't recorded as existing in English in its present form until the 14th Century, and the sense of "charge" to mean "rush into battle" until the 16th. For that matter, how would the belt know about the existence of jungle animals like Cheetahs, especially when the abbreviations used are being derived from English words? And for god's sake, when it speaks Japanese, why isn't it using proper Classical Japanese pronunciations, in accordance with the recorded language of the 13th Century, instead of the Gendaiteki Kanazukai, which wasn't even standardized until the post-war era?!

And while I'm at it, the belt should really be singing in the style of the lamentative biwa hoshi. Or a saibara, at least. I mean, come on, guys! You're totally wasting your theme!

 

[Black Fang]

Why are the beasts in ryuki named in english? Why do the Faiz belts speak english when the villians that made them are primarly in japan?

SMART BRAIN is an international organization, and the Mirror World isn't tied solely to Japan. The OOO belt however speaks Japanese in all other cases except for the finisher.

Why are the blade cards in playing card format when they came long before the creation of playing cards?

That could be argued as playing cards adapting the format of those original cards as remembered by old myths or whatever. The better question is why English is printed on them.
