The localization added a line to Milla's previous line to make her call him 'boy' (which doesn't happen in the original) just so they could have Jude make a remark about them being close in age (in JP he just says his name to introduce himself).
There's another instance here:
Karla's just revealed Gaius became king at 22. In the original, Jude muses that'd be his age in 7 years. Here they're making the gap appear smaller with that wording.
(They've also altered the way Gaius and Presa address him iirc, having Gaius call him 'boy' when he originally doesn't, and having Presa not call him 'boy' when she's actually the only character who does 😂)
So yeah, seems like there was a deliberate attempt to make Jude seem older than he really is in the localization. It's kinda funny when you think about it.

Hi! I love fob and o followed Pete since some years ago but I never knew something about people talking about his natural hair. What happened?
hey there! so essentially pete has been getting shit for openly expressing any part of his culture as a biracial black man for pretty much his entire career. part of this is because people just don’t know he’s black and don’t take the time to look into it, they just immediately assume he’s white and appropriating. any time he’s worn his natural hair out in public in the past has inspired headlines like this:
he also got repeatedly accused of appropriation when these pictures of him in the late 90s with locs resurfaced:
the same thing happened in 2020 when he got cornrows, as well as when he tweeted about george floyd. people basically bullied him into getting the braids removed and deleting the tweets because they claimed he as a ‘white man’ didn’t have a right to be discussing it, despite the fact that he’s been openly anti racist since he was a teenager just getting involved in the scene, not to mention the fact that he and andy were in an anti racist hardcore band called racetraitor in the late 90s.
people claim that he ‘never acknowledges’ his blackness as if that’s an excuse for their refusal to recognize his racial identity, but the reason he rarely talks about it is because of how openly and proudly racist the scene was in the 2000s and how viciously he’s been attacked pretty much every time he showed that side of himself. so it’s just a really beautiful thing to see him now, older and more mature and more comfortable in his identity as a black man, wearing braids in a video he knows millions will end up seeing
