Silver is "Is this a joke/Are you a joke?" in an angry, sincere, socially inept "Because I'm not laughing! Take this seriously! Hmph!" way.

Eggman Nega is "Is this a joke/Are you a joke?" in a sardonic, mocking "Because I couldn't help but laugh, sorry, how rude of me, pft" way.

I feel like when it comes to Silver and Blaze as a duo, I think they need to have moments of where they disagree with each other. While they’re perfectly in sync when it comes to combat, I think they should argue about the best way to approach stuff since they’re pretty stubborn.

“Silver and Blaze find themselves at odds.” No way.

Since it's already making the rounds and I’ve only seen a small part of it being shared (which can lead to some misunderstandings), here’s an extended passage from My Last Bow where Akinori Nishiyama, creator of Blaze the Cat, talks about her and the details behind her character.

My favorite part of a new(ish) interview that dropped in November of last year with Akinori Nishiyama (the creator of Blaze the Cat).

補足するとブレイズさん、「ヘッポコ」で「愛すべきポンコツ」というニュアンスを込めたつもりなので、それが伝わる訳だと良いなぁと思うんですよね。本当は繊細で感情豊かなんだけど、それを理性で押さえ込むうちにどう感情を出していいか忘れたみたいな人なので。

【ソニック】「ブレイズはヘッポコな人なんですよ」って「clumsy」って訳されるんですね。「不器用」というと若干違う気もするけど、「ヘボ」という訳もあってなかなか適切な言葉なんですかね（どう訳せばいいんだ「ヘッポコ」）(1/2)

「ブレイズは決してクールじゃない」というのも「いやブレイズはクールだと思うよ！」と言われたり、たぶん「Cool」のニュアンスも違うんですよね。異文化コミュニケーション、ムズカシイネ。(2/2)

TL:

[Sonic] "Blaze is a total klutz of a person" gets translated as "clumsy," huh. "Unskillful" feels a bit off, but there's also the translation "lame," so maybe it's a pretty fitting word after all (how the heck do you translate "heppoko") (1/2)
