Silver2195 posted:How did two different translators come up with the semen thing independently? Your guess is as good as mine because the japanese word for semen isn't in that phrase at all. Like, I'm sure the phrase is equating Giselle to smelling of something exclusive to men, but there were so many other options to take.

Sometimes a rough text translation is thrown up on some forum by some guy who looked at the scanned raws and it's really obvious that every group that "translated" a chapter just took what that guy posted, cleaned up the grammar and threw in some fucks / shits to make it edgier.

Particularly obvious here as I can't read mangastream b/c of broken images, but the translation I read called it semen too. Oop.

From someone I heard the Japanese word seieki was in there. It means stench or smell but is also pretty much the Japanese word for Semen. (I have no idea if this is true or not just saying what I heard.)

LESSON TIME KIDS, gather around. There is nothing in that phrase that is seieki, that has its own kanji. 精液 = sei eki = semen If we were to use hiragana it would be... せいえき = se i e ki And now you all know a little bit more about semen, aren't you happy?

At least from the transcription above, there's nothing even close to that. He says nioi but that's obviously nowhere close to being some pun for seieki, and seieki uses different kanji altogether which has nothing to do with stench or smell. Your friend probably picked up misinformation somewhere. Allarion fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Jul 11, 2014 |

The mangastream translator for One Piece is a friend of mine, so you'll all be happy to know that the translator for Bleach is graduating and they'll be looking for a new one soon. I've brought up the questionable interpretation of Mangastream's translations with him a few times, but it's hard to point things out when I have no clue what the original script reads as.

Just to be sure I wasn't missing some silly pun in there, I decided to go to jisho.org and look it up. ザーメン or サーメン(zaamen/saamen) or 精(sei) are literally the only common ones. Bleach may be bad, but Kubo's writing isn't THAT bad. Also, what does "You reek of semen" even mean? Is he wearing crusty jizz-stained undergarments or something?

A little update on the whole "You reek of semen" discussion: it's not, as some pepole claim, a mistranslation; and it's neither a complete invention by Mangastream, or a half-assed translation that somebody put up on an internet forum. What Kubo wrote is literally "精液臭いよキミ", which translates into "You smell like semen", and that's why both Mangastream and Mangareader used the word "semen". Source: the copy of Shonen Jump that I bought. Edit: Here is also a tweet with the sentence in question. It's not very clear, but there aren't that many kanji that look just like the word semen.
