No Kenjaku needed points, and also to threaten the Culling Game with being turned off by deactiving Tengen's Barriers.. Megumi / Sukuna needs to kill all remaining players for the game to end, or make Tengen's Barriers end.

Like the culling game ends if Kenjaku and Sukuna are dead, instead of the opposite which they have going. I think it's more likely the Culling Game is ended by the Barriers being deactivated.

MonsterEnvy posted:John Werry should probably be replaced by Lighting full time. Let's not pretend as if Lightning's translations wouldn't also be criticized if they were official. While Jujutsu Kaisen has had some real stinkers, manga fans have been trained to distrust official translations and do that reflexively. Case in point: the one chapter that *was* translated by Lightning was still lambasted here.

But it's obviously a reaction that has been magnified by the fact that it *is* an official translation.

Like to the point someone will use the term kakugan and someone will respond to them with the tern red eye. I thought the idea of localization was to...localize foreign terms and phrases in ways that express the original intent while holding close to the text. For a reader that does not speak a lick of Japanese... what the gently caress is a Kizuki? Or a Hashira? You can see a Hashira and read the title and be like "Oh, I guess Hashira are really strong Demon Slayers?" but "Pillar" is a much, much better choice that totally explains what they are. They're a pillar of the Demon Slayers, of their style. What the gently caress is a Kizuki? "Demon Moon" is a pretty scary sounding title, and "Upper/Lower moon" is a more elegant way of explaining the hierarchy.

Fabricated posted:The biggest thing about Werry's Demon Slayer translation that made it into the common vernacular for the series was leaving "Hashira" and "Kizuki". One Piece’s one also does this and it annoys the crap outta me. You get Inurashi directly translated to Dogstorm for some reason, but The Red Scabbards gets left as the Azakaya Nine or The Flying Six, which directly ties to the Lead performer and Headliner officer roles which got translated previously gets left as Tobi Roppo. It’s just such a poo poo show where it honestly feels random on what the translator will decide to do.

Japanese titles often just sound cooler than a localization, I feel like (while the confusion and inconsistency is a problem) generally speaking leaving a bit of the Japanese is very acceptable to most of the fan base/core customers (despite some high profile memery in particular with Death Note for the anime). Leaving generic items untranslated would be a problem, anything involving status or title, while a translation would be good, I just don't see most fan bases being upset in at least america with the Japanese just being straight up used. I might have appreciated that context in Demon Slayer, but the general point of their titles was never really lost on me reading it.

yea leaving some japanese terms untranslated does feel like a fairly common thing in demon slayer's case, I would have preferred pillar/demon moon but that's more because I was used to the scans than anything

The imgur is just a collection of the same rough translation/commentary that is also in that Reddit thread's pinned comment. They all come from the leaker, who posts them on Twitter first and then deletes them almost immediately.

Spoilers for leaks: Weak chapter for me. After all the hype, just using this as an excuse to punt Choso out of the story is a lame payoff and just feels like the cheapest narrative transaction to keep this sequence going at a fast jog. I'm not really sold on Choso blocking the fire arrow like that anwyay -- 16 finger Sukuna wasted a fire spirit orders of magnitudes stronger than most of the cast, probably including Choso, but Choso tanks Heian era Sukuna's version of it? I know Sukuna is gassed but it feels a little thin and in service of Yuji's plot armor to get him out of it that way. To say nothing of the apparent retcon with Todo using boogie woogie, but that doesn't really bother me until we see how this plays out.

The implication seems to be that he's trying a variation on Boogie Woogie he hasn't tried before, they're asking earlier on if he's sure he can do this. So it's a "I TELEPORTED THEM TO SAFETY.. probably." thing.

I think “i will sacrifice my life to make a blood barrier that can protect this one person” is probably a pretty strong binding vow, and even if not directly stated to be such it can be implied since Sukuna is basically doing a binding vow every other page.
