I dunno why this took me so long, and probably this is not news, but I just noticed that Hisokaâs actual lines are purposefully ambiguous, unlike in the English subs where they choose one translation or another. This gives even more reason for his ridiculously perverted voice (his voice confuses the context of his words, that would sound normal coming from a normal person), since whenever he talks in that voice heâs basically making innuendos. The English subtitles, unfortunately, have to either take the innuendo very literally, or totally skip the innuendo. Two examples I can think of:Â
a) When the subs have him say he is âturned onâ heâs saying âzoku-zokuâ which is more like âfeeling thrilled/getting shivers/etcâ (So, while he sounds pretty turned on, heâs not being quite that literal; if someone who didnât sound like a perv said that the thought of fighting someone gave them chills, it wouldnât have a sexual meaning at all).
b) On the other hand, when the subs have him say he is âgoing to killâ someone, he uses âyaruâ. Yaru has three pretty standard meanings:
1. to do (to do whatever action is being discussed/implied)
2. to have sexual intercourse
3. to kill
If thereâs no specific action being discussed or implied, then 2. or 3. are assumed based on context. So, needless to say, Hisoka is confusing the context pretty badly with those masturbatory faces and voices he makes. I could probably make some sort of argument about how his affinity for ambiguity and innuendo speaks to the duality of his self-professed âfickle and dishonestâ character but⊠*Killua shrug*Â
SO.
Next time Hisoka makes a pervy face and moans something like:
 âAhhh, ii yo⊠yappari ii yo, anata waâŠÂ !! Zettai, anata waâŠÂ boku ga yaru.â**
and the subtitles go something like:
âAhh, so lovelyâŠ. youâre magnificent⊠I definitely must be the one to kill youâ
and youâre thinking:
âdamn, Hisoka, youâre such a creepy perv, why are you making it sound like you wanna DO the guy??â
âŠitâs because that is, in fact, EXACTLY WHAT HE IS SAYING. (But heâs also saying that heâs gonna kill the guy.)
