In episode 263 of Dragon Ball Z, Gohan insults Super Buu by calling him “usunoro.” In the English subtitles of this scene “usunoro” is translated as “You retard.” This is an infamous translation that has left many wondering “Did Gohan really say that?” In today’s video I explain what “usunoro” actually means, why it should not have been translated as “You retard,” and I propose my own (better) translation!
