u/Mercy429

In Episode 7 there is a part where Shizuka is talking about the pressure her dad put on her ever since she was an infant. The scene shows her as a baby, crawling in front of a screen repeating “べき”** **(Beki). According to google, it translates to “should” or “ought to.”

She then says that she, “thought her name was Anita.”

When I referenced the Japanese subtitles, instead it showed her saying “べき ” (just like on the screen behind her) in place of “Anita.”

The confusing part to me is that the name Anita translates to “Mercy” or “Favour.” Nothing to do with “Should” or obligation of some sort.

Im not very familiar with Japanese, but is there a logical reason for this switch? I feel like either choosing an English name with the same meaning, or simply using the name “Beki” (or Becky?) as a reference to the Japanese would make more sense.

Any idea why they used the name Anita in the eng DUB?

Am I overreacting when I get upset with my boyfriend because he refuses to take any vitamin C and shuts down whenever I suggest it.

I will give some context. A large part of what frustrates me is how he responds to the topic. He gets defensive, does a quick google search and says that vitamin c doesn’t really do anything so there’s no point in him taking it, even if he’s sick. Then gets stubborn and quiet / shuts down.

I wonder if part of this is a cultural thing. I’m Canadian and he’s American (specifically southern). I’ve always been taught that vitamin C is good for you because most people don’t get enough of it in their natural diets. Whether you get it through fruits and veggies or a supplement isn’t that important. But your body needs vitamin c to help regulate your immune system among other things. I have literally told him that I’d be happy even if he would just agree to drink some orange juice now and then because at least it’s something. He eats mostly processed foods, very little fruits or veggies. His mother is a nurse and growing up he was never taught about taking vitamin C so he doesn’t think it’s important. His argument is that if it were important then his doctor would tell him to take it. He has had a history of medical challenges throughout his life so him wanting to check with his doctor is completely understandable. But I’ve asked him if he can ask his doctor about it and he hasn’t. (It’s been 6 months and he has had appointments since then.)

I tend to be a caretaker, I’ve always been very maternal, if someone is sick my instinct is to want to take care of them. Bring them soup, herbal tea, vitamins, etc. But it really frustrates me when he gets stubborn and refuses out right. I’ll explain to him what it is and why it’s good for him, but he’s just so stubborn about it…
I worry that if we get married it will be an area of strife because I want to take care of him and he’s very stubborn about not taking any vitamins or supplements.

It particularly concerns / frustrates me because I’ve read that one of the main functions of vitamin c is that it aids in the production of white blood cells and last year he got blood work showing that his white blood cells are concerningly low and they don’t know why.
Given that this is the case, I don’t understand why he doesn’t at least run the question by his doctor.

For me, it’s less about the supplement and more about him eating a balanced/nutritious diet. Especially because he has also had issues with his stomach and digestion. These issues started after he returned home after living at a school in Canada for 2+ years. While at school the meals were prepared, and while it’s still cafeteria food, we had a good cook and I know that the Canadian food guide requires meals to be at least somewhat balanced. When he visits me I typically prepare more balanced meals and he seems to do well with it.

So am I overreacting? Because it really does frustrate me! I love him and I want him to be healthy, I was raised to believe that nutrition is an important factor in our daily health. I just don’t understand why he’s so stubborn about vitamin C?! It’s just vitamin C of all things! He takes prescription vitamins D and B, but if I suggest the occasional vitamin C he gets all defensive about it. I don’t understand!

Again, I have literally suggested drinking the occasional orange juice as a compromise! T-T
