"Looks just like a piece of Nori..." *sticks it on forehead* Never has a character in fiction been so real.

To this day, I am surprised by how many times the Count has showed up in fiction, though given the premise of Dandadan, I guess it should be a given that he would show up eventually.

I can think of Chevalier d'Eon off the top of my head, but, yeah, dude's a recurring fixture in urban fantasy works. Post Script: Also Baccano, natch. I like that Turbo Granny got so mad about him that one of her eyes turned back into monster form. Bad blood? Lock Knight fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Sep 8, 2023 |

Centzon Totochtin posted:Is the vamola calling herself a fellow supposed to be a formal/polite thing or using masculine pronouns thing Probably the difference between ore, boku, and watashi for saying the masculine "I". Someone with the raws could probably translate which one exactly Okarun is using and passed onto Vamola. E: probably watashi?

Centzon Totochtin posted:Dandadan: Ball is life It's intended as a callback to the line attributed to the actor Ken Takakura, "I am an awkward fellow, after all", which was mentioned in the early chapters, and I guess this is a consequence of Okarun/Ken teaching Vamola some more Japanese. But now I'm really interested in what exactly is getting translated into "fellow". It's obviously idiosyncratic enough to be associated with that particular line from that particular actor, but a quick Google search hasn't revealed yet if anyone's dissected the translation. Hell, it would be nice to just know which movie it came from. edit: \/\/\/ Thank you! usenet celeb 1992 fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Sep 18, 2023 |

It's obviously idiosyncratic enough to be associated with that particular line from that particular actor, but a quick Google search hasn't revealed yet if anyone's dissected the translation. Specifically it's that Okarun habitually uses the pronoun ジブン (自分, 'jibun') which is a reflexive pronoun (like English himself/herself/themself/etc.) but can also be used as a personal pronoun. It's the same pronoun Takakura Ken used in that famous line. In the original Japanese dialogue, Vamola calls herself ジブン as well, which is what Ayase is calling out.

A Bruce Lee muscle-fop who knows magic. He was a real dude aside from the obviously fictional stuff. Was pretty okay in the Netflix Castlevania.

I was wondering if we'd ever see that buttinsky class rep again. And everyone's being weirdly open now with their powers. Maybe part of St. Germain's influence? I do like how his dialogue has some sort of disorienting, temporally-disjointed quality to it, definitely affecting minds and also maybe affecting narrative a bit.

How did I JUST figure out that Sanjome is just Japanese phonetic Saint Germaine? Also I'm reading his dialogue in a weird, rushed Tim Curry voice. It's great. Niiice, even.
