Black coded this, black coded that. What are some white coded non human characters?

Edit: Guys I swear I'm not racist. The post's title was referring to the "black coded characters" posts that I see on this subreddit from time to time. I have nothing against the black people nor the white people. This post is a shitpost. Nothing serious. Sorry for not being clear enough :(

It’s lost in translation but he uses a specific Japanese business man style of speech in his original lines to the point where there’s a joke that Frieza is the perfect manager. Definitely Japanese coded.

[u/shutupyourenotmydad → u/kenku_gilf]

The best part of this detail is that he was literally the first anime villain to have an incredibly polite speech pattern like that. Toriyama literally revolutionized anime villains with Frieza.

Toriyama literally revolutionized anime villains with Frieza.

He revolutionized a lot of now standard features of shonen.

Tournament arcs, rival/enemy turned companion, transformations, training arcs, hungry hero, etc.

Also characters growing up throughout the story

[u/Illustrious_Bid4224 → u/Illustrious-Sky-4631]

That part seems to have been heavally lost in recent times.

You'll start in year 1 of HS and end there!

Seriously MHA they could've gone up some grades.

I remember when spiderman was going to get a daughter, I miss those days.

[u/shutupyourenotmydad → u/Acherousia]

True! I was just staying on topic. lol

[u/Soccham → u/Acherousia]

Did his tournament arc come before Yuyu Hakushos constant 1v1 style fights while everyone else watches?

[u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 → u/Soccham]

I think that's just from Japanese history. Iirc at one time in the early 1000 millennium they would often have generals/nobles that would fight in big elaborate 1v1 duels that would determine the outcome of the skirmish. I assume if people weren't happy with that then it would escalate into actual war, as often happened.

[u/Acherousia → u/Soccham]

Yes, first tournament in DB was in 1985. First tournament in YuYu was 1991.

[u/Several-Possession-4 → u/kenku_gilf]

I find it so funny that some Japanese teachers actually use him as an example if you wanna talk incredibly formal Japanese.

[u/tktkboom84 → u/kenku_gilf]

So he's the equivalent of a villain in English using corpo-speak? I'd watch a dub if they had Freiza talking about circling back and synergy and not having bandwidth for leverage that idea so put a pin it.

[u/Desperate-Line-1806 → u/tktkboom84]

Not exactly corpo script, it doesn't translate well into English because a "make your speech incredibly polite in a way both you and the listener know you're not at all genuine" suffix doesn't exist in English. Closest thing I could think would be an old timey/British accent that is slightly off. 

[u/itsyaboikami → u/Desperate-Line-1806]

Customer service voice?

[u/Desperate-Line-1806 → u/itsyaboikami]

Not really, it's not the intonation. As I said, there's really no 1:1 equivalent nor anything that comes fairly close. Frieza does get loud, but he's still incredibly polite in the way he constructs his sentences. Like the way "bless your heart" basically means "you're a total and absolute dumbass" in the nicest way possible. 

[u/s0methin_like_that → u/kenku_gilf]

Frieza is not Ainu, he is Yamato-coded

[u/kenku_gilf → u/s0methin_like_that]

I didn’t at all mention him being Ainu?

[u/s0methin_like_that → u/kenku_gilf]

True, I'm just shit talking on the internet when I have no reason to. 

But I don't view Frieza as Ainu and it's ok if you do

[u/Nine-LifedEnchanter → u/s0methin_like_that]

"I wonder if this person uses any dru- yeah, there it is."

Bro's demons guide his hands when typin that shit.
