In the second season of the mid 2000's show W.i.t.c.h. The creators decided the episode titles should incorporate the whole Alphabet "A is for Apple" style, but have the "is for [Blank]" part reference something in the episode.
What I wanna talk about is how one particular dub manage to flip my whole perception of an episode just by taking liberty in how they localised the title, the dub in question being Spanish.
Obviously Spoilers are ahead for the show and specifically Season 2 Episode 8. Here is a link if you want to watch it.
So the episode's title in English is "H is for Hunted" and in it one of the main characters, Will Vandom, irresponsibly made an Astral Drop Clone to do her chores for her and left her unsupervised. Through the scheming of a Sorceress, things escalated to the point that the Empty Headed Astral Drop became a Free Thinking Altamere [since she deserves a name, I will call her Altamina] that wants nothing but to live through this wonderful thing called life, and she was manipulated to think that if she does not kill the one who made her, she will come find her and destroy her. So the title is referring to how Altamina is being Hunted by W.i.t.c.h. for not complying to orders as an Astral Drop should, and vice versa since Will is being Hunted by Altamina who doesn't want to be erased back into oblivion.
As for the Spanish Dub, the title says "H De Hermana" making it into "S is for Sister" shifting the focus from the characters searching for eachother in the later half of the episode to their actions through out it under a sisterhood lense. Will revealed her mistake to her friends and although they do reprimand her, they still prioritise helping her, just like sisters. And more importantly, Altamina confessed to Will her fears and why she wants to keep living, and Will comforted her without judgement while assuring her that she wouldn't erase her no matter what, effectively becoming sisters.
Add to all that the ending and you get a punch to the guts. The Episode was sad as it was, but let me tell you this, having the Spanish title reshape how I looked at it simply broke my heart beyond repair.
