All I remember about these two is that when the show aired on American TV, they were presented as cousins or something, but would still get all touchy-feely and stuff. Someone finally told me that they were originally a couple but that got changed with the American dub but they weren't going to change the actual animation and the whole thing became hilarious.

The dub made them into cousins but okay if the dub people do these things with their cousins I really worry for them...

[(Anonymous)]

omg, that was probably my favorite part of the dub because it was hilarious. the best thing though is probably that they still left in the episode where they both enter a "which couple is the most compatible" type contest together. I think they won (or at least did very well).

I can't even remember the justification that was given for having two cousins enter the contest tbh

I remember that one! There was hand-touching and blushing and the other characters were all "Aw, isn't it cute how they're such close COUSINS?" and I was like "Um..." You could read it as they really are a couple and everyone is just incredibly oblivious.

Something similar was done in the German dub, but even as a child I didn't buy it at all. Shows how children are usually not homophobic until conditioned to be; the thought of them being cousins who were in love with each other was icky to me. It didn't even mater that they were both female.

Uhm, nope, the German dub actually got that one right for once. They were definitely a couple, and not related at all. But there was other stuff - like making Zoisite a woman, for example.

I remember it differently. Strange.
I could swear when I was a kid I wondered about them being cousins. Maybe I remembered it incorrectly and confused it with the English dub. I was raised bilingual.

That always cracks me up. They turned a lesbian couple into an incestuous lesbian couple. I'm sure that's much more palatable for middle America!

[hiyami]

The French dub also had them being cousins IIRC, and worse, Zoisite and Kunzite being brothers. Hm... Well done, dub!

[(Anonymous)]

They also turned Fisheye into a woman. Then there was that episode where he acts as a model (I think) and his bare chest is shown. That scene was cut on TV, but was present on the DVD and some mom complained about the "pornography" because the poor girl's chest was shown naked.
Never mind that, not even with weird anime anatomy, that chest could have been a female one and that the senshi always were naked during their transformation.

And I'm not sure which dub did it, but Zoisite was turned into Kunzite's brother (also into a woman in another dub) - and that was a weird, weird incesty thing to do as well.

Lots of times, when dubs (or manga translations) do something like that on purpose, it's worse afterwards than it was before XD

Yeah, most agree the end result of this was they were now presented in america not as lesbians, but as incestuous lesbian cousins.
