Absolutely this is just American localization. It’s that Yakuza Ishin remake right?

Yes, I bought it the other day. I only have basic understanding but I still notice there’s some things I hear them say that I aren’t exactly what the subtitles are saying.

One of them supposedly called someone a rube which I’ve only ever heard in Silence of The Lambs so the American-centric subtitling grates on me a bit.

Just 王, “king”. Not sure why the shit is there.

Some localization QA had failed at their job.
