Why would a dub say something so controversial yet so brave?

From the madness of the Kaguya Sama: Love Is War English Dub. It is now canon that Hayasaka is Best Girl. This isn’t opinion, it’s a fact. It didn’t dawn on me that Amanda Lee who voices Hayasaka, has a Vtuber persona called Monarch.

And yes this is the official dub by Funimation/Crunchyroll and all the seasons are on their site.

If you want more Kaguya dub moments:

[steler]

butterfly really went in and said "and that's why she's best girl"

[LuigiLonLon]

"WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME? I'M RIGHT!"
- Butterfly Narrator, April 2021

[YayaFeiLong]

The timing makes it seem like the butterfly is the narrator

[genericsonicfan]

My favorite dub narrator moment is when he said: "Hey, get it? It's the title, and the point OF THE WHOLE STORY!!!"

[SuperWorldJumper]

Butterfly flies by as guy is talking.
Me: “Is THIS a narrator?”

[moisesfreire]

The dub director: Are you sure the original script have that line?"
The narrator's voice actor: ...suuuure don't worry about it.

[IsoyaYasuji]

_”Hayasaka has always been best girl”_

*_— The Narrating Butterfly, probably_*

[tommyleejones]

From someone who has never watch this show in his life and has no understanding of the context of the bizarre scene before him, I can confirm that she is best girl.

[greatwhitesufi]

The butterfly is the narrator, I will accept nothing else

[vak.o]

“She’s right, you know, and that’s why she’s best girl.”
He’s out of line but he’s right!

[mavericklucas]

I refuse to believe that the narrator ISN'T the butterfly

[justsomebillsfan]

The narrator carries the dub

And that’s why he’s best girl

[raziel]

Funimation: "Come on... We don't alter the script that much!"
The script:

[acethefiredragon]

Saying hayasaka is best girl isn’t controversial.

[proudspartan]

When God himself declares who's best girl.

[Flipcrash]

This is why I love Ian's dubbing. The other line too about Kei "Because she is a MOTHER FLIPIN TSUNDERE"

[animdoodle]

“And that’s why she’s best girl.”



*No no, he’s got a point.*

[Gtoonm]

She is surprisingly innocent towards love, spends time imagining a very unrealistic perfect date, loves technology and gets jumpy reading about new phone specs AND she builds her own PCs. Yeah she's best girl.

Everybody gangster until the butterfly narrator start spittin fact
