Have there ever been times when you're watching an anime in japenese (with or without subtitles) and it sounds like there saying something English??
So far it's happend to me twice. Both in Rockman.exe
In the Aqua soul episode Rockman says something to burnerman and it sounds like he's saying "Not so fast, BANANA!!!" To this day Burnerman makes me think of a banana
Burnerman: Great another food item to relate me too
Also when ever they say net (whatever is japenese for police) it sounds like there saying "Net gays" over and over.
Has this ever happend to you??? |

They usually do that in Japanese. I must have misunderstand. do you mean a whole sentence or just a word? If it's just a word or two, I can name about 200 in the whole EXE-Stream series.
Hint: Just look for chip names and soul unison.

I think he means Japanese words that sound like english words or english words that sound too weird with their Japanese pronunciation. Battlechips and Soul Unisons are english words that tend to sound like what they're supposed to, so I guess they don't count.
Personally, I thought they were saying "Net Case" at first. |

What I mean is words that are japenese but you think are english. For example I doubt Rockman was saying "Not so fast, BANANA!!!"
He could have been saying something else interaly, in japenese for all I know |

| I haven't seen the episode, but I'm fairly sure "Banana" was "Burnerman", so in that case it would have been an english word just pronounced like a different english word. |

It could have been "Bakana" (japanese for moron) :/ I keep hearing "chan" as "chow"

You misheard the last letter. It's Ma, not Na. He most likely said "BAANAAMAN". It sounds like BANAMA, basically. |

I know that. But it still sounded like Banana to me. This topic is about people who make mastakes like that. |
