>character 1 see's something suspicious before it disappears >character 2 asks them what's wrong>"it's nothing"
This trope is hardly restricted to anime and manga, and some people definitely do this IRL so it's partially true to life. I'm a bit superstitious, and the prevalence of the trope in fiction where it turns out to be something horrible and menacing makes it seem like bad luck, so I never dodge the question. If I startle at something, and someone asks "What?" I'll always describe what I saw or thought I saw.
>>288455831Is this meant to be a reference to something in particular?
>>288455831That's not just an anime thing
>>288455831This is a fun thing you can do to your friends.
>>288455831>character 1 gives a detailed explanation of what's going on>character 2: yoku wakaranai kedo...
>>288458913This one's more specifically Japanese, and more annoying also. I suppose it's a humility thing, because it would sound arrogant to say "I understand completely." To me it comes off as insulting the didactic prowess of the explainer rather than being humble, so I don't think it's polite at all.
>>288459515Actually the English equivalent is "in English doc"
>>288457981It's nothing
>>288455831Must have been the wind.

>>288459996>>288458913there's a lot of equivalents to saying "in layman's terms pls", like "cut the mumbo jumbo" or "dumb it down pls", "could you speak plain something pls" or just "in english pls" or a surprise like "the what now??" similarly japanese has various forms of this.
