Viper’s arc involves a father who wants her to use venom. She refuses, finding her own non-lethal fighting style. In the Sub Indo script, her father’s line “You shame our family” becomes “Kau mempermalukan keluarga kita.” No nuance lost. However, when Viper says “I’m not like you, Father,” the subtitle reads “Aku tidak sepertimu, Ayah.” This preserves the conflict but misses the English tonal shift from shame to acceptance. Indonesian children rely on visual cues—Viper’s tearful eyes—to supplement the subtitle’s flatness. The Sub Indo format thus demands higher visual literacy.
