Isn't Madara a female? Or was that Mosa?

No, both Madara and Mosa were males. It was a translation error in the Swedish anime where they said Madara was a female.

Well, that happened in the danish one too XD That's why I was a little confused.

The Danish ones were translated from the Swedish ones, so they had the same errors :D

Well that explains it:) Do you know if there is any other error that I should be aware of, or is it just this one?

Well, I know they messed up the names for Hazuki, Uzuki and Minazuki. There's probably more, but can't think of them right now

In the DVD danish version (the one I have, AND as a box set, just to flex XD ), they didn’t mess up the names if I recall correctly. I could send you a video of it if you like where the four heavenly kings introduces themselves (Not that it will do something, but everyone is curious. You might just be curious about this, so therefore, I am asking you this question :) ).
Have a nice day!

No, they didn't mess up the names on the dvd, but they did on the vhs versions that came out originally many many years ago :D

I do tend to lean in for Harpoon bear, because of his backstory, personality, mysteriousness and design. I do agree that he should had a longer role.
Also, i do feel as if the others bears had longer roles.

I have to go for Madara. Thought his depiction in the anime was the coolest. Simple and mean (and he put up a good fight).

None of the bears are really my favorite, but Harpoon bear has always been the most unique and mysterious of all because of his backstory that scared the sh*t out of me as child XD Also, those three harpoons on his back are cool.

Same in Finnish too! Both in the cut dub and uncut subtitles XD I found out the truth from the Finnish manga, where his gender was finally translated correctly :D
Ginga forever! <3
