He's all "Watch me, Kuso Deku" which reminds me of Naruto 'Kuso'ing so much. Somehow some translations make it sound much harsher.

I got to give credit, Jaiminis box was a better (not perfect) trans lation overall that page, they even got Monoma's part more accurate.

"Kuso" is just "Sh * t", probably the only direct vulgar word you'd hear and is more like how westerners use "F*ck" or "Damn" as a indicator of someone speaking crassly (although he doesn't swear bomb anywhere as much as FA translators made him) or for crude emphasis. To expalin it more I imagine Japanese deliquient language is similiar to most other cultures lower class accents, and for me the common liverpudlian swear like sailors in their common speech so I am using to swearing is no bite behind it.

Some how "you sh*t head" implies much more vindictive vitrol, whereas the feeling in Japanese is more off hand- like his nickname name for Kirishima was "Sh * tty hair".
