I was watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where Baron Zepelli introduces
himself, and it sounds like he says ”私はZepelliだんしゃんだ”. Here's a link to the
scene
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWaAct40xZ0&t=1m1s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWaAct40xZ0&t=1m1s).
I looked up the word for baron and found 男爵 / だんしゃく. Am I hearing it wrong, or
is the trailing くdropped? If it is dropped, then is it just some Japanese
dialect or is there a rule for it?

question
pronunciation
Pronunciation of [ 男爵 / だんしゃく ]
The 声優{せいゆう}, voice actor pronounces 私はツェッペリ男爵{だんしゃく}だ as in the original
scene. But he uses turn of the phrase from the noble. It might sound more
different to your ear than as usual.

And the assertion「 **だ** 」sounds stronger than「 **く** 」to emphasize dignity
and his upbringing.

It might confuse you.

The original scene from Jojo below actually put furigana-ruby for だんしゃく in 男爵.

**わたしは ツェペリ男爵{だんしゃく}だ 勇気{ゆうき}だけでは「石仮面{いしかめん}」の力{ちから}には 勝{か}てんよォーーー** 」
