In the Japanese version, Bill speaks with an Osaka | In the Japanese version, Bill speaks with an Osaka dialect. However, an Osaka dialect is impossible to render in English; he instead speaks with a Southern or Texan dialect, which is commonly used when translating manga and anime due to the similarity in perception of the two dialects in the two cultures. His dialect was actually so thick as to be unintelligible to some characters within the manga, which provided a source of humor at times. In the [[Chuang Yi]] translation, the dialect disappeared in his reappearance in the ''Gold, Silver, & Crystal'' arc but remained in the [[VIZ Media|VIZ]] translation. In the Norwegian translation, he speaks with the Trønder dialect. | ||
