The answer: They completely ignore it ... to the point where it is jarring and serves to kill all sense of suspension of disbelief.

Worse still, they also re-dub all the English parts for clarity (and in the case of the sushi bar owner hilarity ... in the "Good Gods, this is awful" way.)

On the bright side (such as it is,) the dub is up to the same standards that the dubs for the first and second season were (although your mileage may vary) ... unfortunately, for this film, it seems to fall a bit flat; and does the film a serious disservice as a result.
As long as I can watch with the Japanese soundtrack (with British voices) and subtitles, I couldn't give a flying f*ck about the english dub - just tired of distributors even trying any more.
