Question

[Mangekyo John]

How come in the anime version of Bleach, they call Vice-Captains/Assistant Captains, Leutanits and in the manga the call them Assistant Captains?

[Jose]

because almost all anime and manga have vary from each other

because almost all anime and manga have vary from each other


the same way a regular book and movie are not exactly identical.

[Mangekyo John]

Ok, thanks.
I was just confused when they would use the 2 different terms.
I'd be like, WTF?!, wasn't he just an Assistant Captain???!!!

Also, vice-captain is the same thing as a Lieutenant so...there's that too. :)

[Wio]

There are the Taichou (Captains) and Taichan (Lieutenants). They are both used in manga and anime (As far as I can tell). I believe it's simply a different translater.

They just got translated differently

[~*Sailor Mercury*~]

Either they got translated different, or the producers of the anime just want to put their personal touch on what they can control, like some directors do to movies. A bit like how you would want to change something in a book or movie, and they just did.

It probably got translated differently, but it doesn't really matter. Lieutenant is below a captain in rank, anyway. They probably thought "Lieutenant" sounded better than "Assistant Captain" in English.
