Pssst, there's quite a bit of mistranslation in the manners CM. (Not that anyone cares, but still...)

Quote:
Garma: You just want me to do that so you can say "I've caught you in my trap!" Geez, don't tease me just because I'm a boy...
Char: Hey! That's my catchphrase you're talking about!


Actually, Garma says Char is trying to make him do bad things just so he (Garma) will get in trouble and say "You betrayed me, Char!" (謀ったな、シャア!)which is a famous Garma line. By the way, this refers to the scene in the series when Garma realized that Char had betrayed him, and uttered the above sentence.

The catchphrase Char refers to is "Because he was a stupid kid" (坊やだからさ) which is a famous Char line. In the series he says this as he's listening to Garma's eulogy. Garma's brother Gihren asks the rhetoric question of why Garma had to die, and Char mutters "because he was a stupid kid" (or however you get 坊や across in English, it's not my first language). So it shouldn't be "because I'm a boy".

Thank you for the correction. I've sent it over to our translator to double-check for me. I'm not super familiar with the Gundam franchise myself, but it should be corrected soon.

Thank you! Smile

(Of course I just realized that I used the wrong kanji for 謀った...)
