A Twitter user shared a clip from the new Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections game, and the dub voice acting in it took the internet by storm.

In the shared video, we can see Naruto pinning Sasuke, asking, “Did that… Wake you up.”

The dub felt so horrible that Twitter user @ShenenGameZ, shared the scene.

Another Twitter user, @JackyBeReal, tagged Maile Flanagan, the English voice actor for Naruto. How did that delivery get a green light?

In response, the she said that she did not say that line in the way it is being represented.

She further clarified that no voice director of Naruto or the gaames could have her deliver that line in such fashion.

Some fans asked if anyone else had given their voice to Naruto in that game, which Maile denied, stating that she was the only VA for Naruto.

In the same thread, @JackyBeReal suggested that the team may have used a different recording of her doing the line or that there could be an AI being used.

Maile clarified that she has never said that it was done by AI and suggested that it could be an edit.
