>>37426444Their mission was assigned by Giovanni...but that was dub only, yeah. Maybe the translators got confused about James recognizing them? Dunno, it's weird.
Speaking of movie villains, though - there was this knock-off Batman looking fuck in the 4th one, and his Japanese name is "Vicious". IIRC there was some kind of manga adaptation for this movie in which he punched Ash straight in the face (and it wasn't a lighthearted cartoony-kind of punch, either). Will have to see if I can find the page somewhere
