April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberDid the left head get drunk off of orange juice?

MemberOr maybe the left head got drunk because the other two heads drank, and they have the same circulatory system.

MemberWhat I understood:
Second panel:
- Brothers...
Third panel:
- I can't drink anymore...
- Wasted.
- AHHH! SAN!

PrivilegedMy take on the third panel:
- No more drinking (limp/senseless) [don't know if it's referring to all three of them or not]
- Damn it
- Waaaa- Three!!!

MemberIt was confirmed that the official names of the heads are Ichi (middle) Ni (right/aggressive) and San (AKA Kevin or the left head), being One, Two, and Three in Japanese.
That said, they are, even in english, supposed to be referred to as Ichi, Ni, and San (though it became popular to call the left head Kevin).
Henlein TheKobold
MemberYeah I guessed it was a name because it was in Katakana, usually they use it for names.
And the middlehead (Ni, in that case) I thought he said しまう(something just happened/ended) in conclusive form, so my interpretation was "he was finished" or "wasted" ^^'

PrivilegedAs far as I know, katakana is usually used for foreign words, or occasionally emphasis of native words (kind of like italicizing something). San, being native for "three", and the triple exclamation mark made me think it was the latter case as an informal nickname of sorts. Though Daneasaur's explanation that it's used as a proper japanese name meant to be kept as-is in english makes sense too (I haven't seen the movie yet).
As for the Ichi (? middle), it looks like he said しまった. Though the ぐったり next to San's speech bubble could probably be loosely interpreted as "wasted" or "done for" (the dictionary I have says it means "completely exhausted, dead tired, limp, senseless").
Henlein TheKobold
MemberExactly. They can. But usually they use the number three as his kanji ideogram (三) or in Hiragana; that's why I assumed it was kind of a name (or nickname as you pointed out)
