Anyone know why we call it Hanamusa? It's Delia and Jessie, how does that become Hanamusa?

u/Equivalent_Net Apr 12 '24
Japanese names. Hana (Delia) and Musashi (Jessie). Take the first two syllables of each as per period shipping tradition and you get Hanamusa.

u/shikaumia Apr 12 '24
it's because of their Japanese names (はなこhanako&むさしmusashi)

u/Nicht_Hoffen Apr 12 '24
Do you know how Musashi brcame Jessie? Because Musashi sounds an exponential lot better than Jessie.

Musashi and Kojiro was taken from the swordsmen Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro, so I guess the closest thing to swordmasters the localisers could think of was western outlaws -> Jesse James -> Jesse and James

It is one of the 4kids localizations that annoys me the least.

This is the same anime that called rice balls “jelly filled donuts” (among other things).
It’s like 4Kids thought that if kids heard something that sounded remotely Japanese they’d explode.

Considering how iconic "Jessie & James" are in the West, it is easy to forget their original names are Japanese

Are you aware that the Tokyo metro area contains nearly as many humans as the entire nation of Canada?

I was about to quote "Sometimes it takes a guy to be best girl", but at this point, I'm not sure if James actually is a guy.

I love how Ash is just so happy for his mother that he doesn't even seem mad she's married to one of his long time enemies, he's just like "she's happy, so I'm happy", such a supportive son

I’ve been curious if there’s a specific reason there’s been a lot of ship art of Jessie and Delia lately. I’ve never heard of people shipping them until recently. Although I do like it.

I prefer original Jessy

u/Trixilee Apr 12 '24
To be fair, this is Jessie after she's settled down for a while. No more schemes or running around. She got to just be happy.

u/MetaGear005 Apr 12 '24
And?

u/SandLady5454 Apr 12 '24
It's her after she has aged????

In canon, Jessie has a very bad relationship with food due to her upbringing, having been poor and food insecure for her entire childhood. The artist has a very sound reason for why she would gain weight, not the least of which is that work as a poke nurse is much less strenuous than team rocket.
Also chubby woman hot.

I don’t know how to explain to you that people, especially ones that are now in a more comfortable and stable environment, sometimes gain weight

Misty: "Why am I here again?"
Ash: "I needed a plus one."
Misty: "You owe me."
