What Does Rochelle Say in French in Planes?
El Chupacabra serenades Rochelle outside her hangar, but understanding her reply takes more than an ear for romance. Jaku's "What Does Rochelle Say in French in Planes?" translates the exchange, including a pet name that turns their flirting into a miniature menu.
Rochelle's response to the serenade is a backhanded compliment: she finds him romantic despite his clowning. Later, before the final race, he promises to wait for her at the finish line. She answers in French that she adores him, calling him her quesadilla. He returns the affection with a chalupa.
Posted six days ago, Jaku's explanation is drawing views much faster now than it typically does. The upload has crossed a million views, making this small piece of airborne courtship an unusually busy corner of the channel.
There is another wrinkle beyond the translation. Jaku explains that Rochelle's design changed for different international releases, while the original English version presents her as French-Canadian. Viewers are comparing the versions they grew up with, including a German release that left one commenter puzzled by her French dialogue.
Others are considering the important romantic question raised by Jaku's translation: whether being someone's quesadilla would actually be a rather nice compliment.

To be fair I'd be flattered to be called someone's quesadilla. Quesadillas are yummy
@swordsofsiege5273See it on YouTubeWell in the German version her nationality is German but she still answers in French there just that she has a German accent, so the first time I watched it I was a bit confused
