There is a famous episode where Saiki’s mother, Kurumi, visits the school. In the Hindi dub, the mother speaks in a Haryanvi/Awadhi mix, referring to Saiki as "Mera baccha." This small change makes the emotional beats hit harder for a desi audience than the clinical English sub ever could.

The side characters shine in Hindi. Nendou (the dim-witted friend) sounds exactly like that one annoying tapu sena guy from your school.
