FYI, it's not actually "Who the hell do you think I am." The "hell" part was just added by the fan subbers. Which is generally the case with most cursing in fan subs. I know some Japanese words don't actually have american translations, but seriously, people need to stop with trying to make their childrens cartoons seem more adult. I watched the first episode of Car Robots, and the subbers put the word "****" in there. That's just wrong, coming from Transformers.

Actually; the hell was added because of the particular way the pronounce the words. It was a rough, almost Yakuza like way of saying it (rolling the R's and somesuch). So to convey that sort of roughness, they throw in swear words

I get that, but my point still remains. It was added by the subbers. It's not actually what was said. Adding words to liven up the subs is fine, but throwing in cursing where there was none, has caused people to have the wrong impression of anime. DBZ is a good example. For the longest time, people insisted that it was full of cursing, because it was all over the subs. I think that sort of thing needs to at least be made more clear.

Yes, and it didn't fit there, either. Besides, that was the movie. I'm talking about the series. Coming from the main character, who's just a kid.
