Hmm...

Anime: spoiler[Pandora Hearts]

Character A: spoiler[Oz Vessalius]

Character C: spoiler[Xerxes Break]

I don't recall the exact situation, but I do recall that later on Character A tosses it right back at Character C.

Hmm, unfortunately, that is not quite right.

Early hint: spoiler[Character A is trying to save his friend and master.]

From the dub:

"What the? Teenage girl comic books and [term]. See what you can do to explain this shit to me."

Vaisaga, let's stay away from clues like this, as such interpretations are very subjective.

I only used it because that interpretation is pretty universal among the fandom. How's this, then?

New Hint #1: spoiler[This quote is from the sequel to a highly acclaimed (as in, by critics and won awards) series.]

I'm curious, why isn't this game on the same rotation cycle (quarterly) as the "Anime Character Guessing Game"? It's not a big deal, just something nitpicky that bothers me.

Yes, the new Hint #1 is better, Vaisaga.

And damn, I have no idea here, and that irritates me. There aren't many dubbed series which spoiler[have sequel series and swear and have grossly different levels of critical acclaim between them], after all. Confused

It should be noted that spoiler[it's the sequel that was dubbed. The preceding series may or may not have been, e.g. Fate/Zero (not dubbed) and Fate/Stay Night (dubbed).]

While you do have a point, cases where spoiler[an original is not dubbed but a sequel is] are quite rare. Much more commonly it's the other way around, such as the case that you cited.

Hint #3: spoiler[The speaker is so hated that the selling point of the Super Robot Wars games he appears in is that you get to kill him (except that one time Rau did it).]
