Subaluwa! Sumo Sound

Sound Effect Description

Subaluwa! Sumo Sound was initially just a voice line preformed by Canadian voice actor Lee Tockar.^[1][2] It debuted in a short called "Genie Junkie", for a Liquid Television episode which aired on July 27, 1994. On January 25, 1999, The voice line would eventually become a sound effect that comedically represents physical exertion and/or anger from an individual, Which precedes an impact against another person or thing. It is most known for being occasionally used in Danny Antonucci's animated series, "Ed, Edd n' Eddy", starting with the episode "Virt-Ed-Go". An extended version of the effect, similar to the 1st half, is now partially lost.

The True and False Translations/Transcriptions

The Subaluwa! Sumo Sound was thought to be translated as: "Forgive my excessive use of force, But you leave me no choice my friend; SUMO ATTACK!". It turns out that, According to Lee Tockar, The phrase means "We who study chito-ryu karate"^[3] Which is transcribed as: "我々千唐流空手道を修業する者は!!"/"Ware ware chito-ryu karatedoh o shugyo suru mono wa!!"^[4] . The way he pronounced the phrase was way off, as he missed a few syllables and words in the recording. He pronounced it as: "Ware ware ka'tedoh shugyo Su' mono wa!!''/"So ware ware katedo, sigeru/sumero; SUMO DO WA!!".
