Korean lettuce IS the localized version. Originally it was Australian lettuce.

edit: Not entirely satisfied with my first go on this one. So new translation.



The phrase Gorou uses in Japanese to indicate non-lethality is 殺傷能力などない, sasshounou-ryoku nadonai. This is something like "not something such as a killing or lethal ability". I used "non-lethal injury" in my first attempt, but going so far as to use the word "injury" might be going too far. The Japanese is more suggestive and less direct in that way. But cutting myself a little slack, the original phrasing does suggest "the ability to do harm and injury".

Also, the Japanese word I translated as "intention" here is 想定 sotei, which is more like "assumption, hypothesis, supposition." Again, the original Japanese is more ambiguous; we're meant to understand Gorou is not being entirely honest. He's really lawyering his words here. Maybe I should have gone with "I did not intend to cause serious harm," but honestly I've spent long enough on this one and need to move on.

First attempt in the quote below.

So uh, as someone that has never been stabbed, how bad is this? Snapped blade and all. It was just in the arm so I figured it can't be that bad, but the narration implies otherwise.

My aunt once stabbed one of her co-workers for mouthing off and he lived for at least several years to tell the story at her funeral.

Didn't break the blade off though.

Before we get to what is being implied, doesn't Japan have decent healthcare, with the biggest problem being that it's too inexpensive and people do things like clog up the MRI schedule for basically no reason?

Wow, that really sounds like boomer bullshit about how American healthcare is fine actually, but I swear it was from a pros/cons documentary about different systems around the world and how they're pretty much all better than what the US uses. Whatever, I'm not rewriting it to sound better.

Well, we can safely assume the man with a possible metal shrapnel injury isn't going to be clogging up no MRI

Maybe literally clogging it up if everyone at the hospital forgot the first rule of MRI machines. At least it would remove the blade!

I don't know about MRIs, but if you had something as small as even a runny nose, everyone would constantly insist you should go to the hospital.

Is that why I see so many pre-covid animes with someone wearing a mask to school because they're sick (and workaholics)?

No, it’s because wearing pollution masks was a thing in Tokyo for a while.

Well, no to your no.

People wore masks all the time. If you're sick. If everyone else seems to be getting sick. If the Gobi desert was sending over more yellow dust than normal. Or the pollution index was high for the day. If you were sneezing, someone might ask you to wear a mask. It was always pretty normal.
Korea as well.

I still remember running into two foreign women in the middle of Tokyo on the street in the middle of nowhere, jokingly wearing masks and laughing and asking me why the Japanese were sometimes wearing masks. I guess now they know quite well, haha.
