Ikemen-sugiru Gorilla reference?

When you're unashamedly naked and ladies still have to ask if you're a guy. feelsbadinjapanese.jpg As far as squeaking... yeah, that's a bad translation. Why? Because it's not onomatopoeia in the source. "Squeak" would be "チュウ" (chuu), but she says "りす" (risu) which just means squirrel...

I don't get it. How does nanpa come into it? Given the x-ed out heart, I'm assuming his "mindlessness" skill is just 心無い (kokoronai).

Are we 100% sure it's pterosaur? Pterosaur is literally written with the kanji "wing" and "dragon" (翼竜). Although Sylphid's species is 風韻竜, it is still true that she's a winged dragon. Given it's the introductory chapters, I would assume the title is just meant to be "Tabitha and the Flying...

In the same way that healing magic won't fill your belly if you're starving, I doubt you can just "heal" oxygen deprivation. It's a "fuel problem", not a "damage problem". It's not just that lack of oxygen kills cells, but rather oxygen is necessary for cells to carry out their functions.

It's... not? I admit, it has been awhile, but this is how I remember the story going. Kill centipede, make poison meatballs, invade ant nest, They cut a conversation with Adhoff about the neighboring countries, I guess?

Ugar's pantomime on page 26. The number "two", and "vomiting", so... "ni" "gero" ("run away!" in Japanese) . I feel like the mangaka could've conveyed that with "stop" gestures and the humor would've been retained without introducing some weird cultural equivalent of anachronism (is there a...

Odd that there's no TL note for the idiom, "like a borrowed cat". It apparently refers to someone being uncharacteristically quiet and meek due to being in an unfamiliar environment.

So... it's an Antaeus kind of situation? I wonder if the Heracles solution will work or if it'll be some kinda nonsense like F/SN Berserker's kill-him-so-hard-he-loses-multiple-lives. [edit] Dunno why I get a "dumb" reaction. That's literally how both stories go. In Greek mythology, Antaeus...

The lip bug he uses to make his voice different from Momon. Nurunuru is sfx for slippery/oily/greasy.

Nobimaru making the "fox" hand gesture with the caught bullets was a nice touch.

... did the boar make the Kuso Miso face when stabbed in the rectum?

...All shadows are already three-dimensional; that's the reason e.g. parasols work. It's just that the shadows are most noticeable in the two-dimensional area where they intersect a regular plane. Bleh. If the air were less transparent (say, considerable mist or fog), you could see the...

@XzarDragon The line is 「バカになれデンノコ」, "baka ni nare den'noko", which is "become an idiot, electric saw". Incidentally, Denji's name is written in katakana similarly 「デンジ」 and is homophonous with "electric". Maybe she just combines his half-remembered name with his current appearance to get that...

Considering the paper the translators' notes reference specifically mentions van der Waals force as being a contributing factor to adhesion (albeit less so than contact electrification), and the fact that both vdW and CE both only become raised to macroscopic significance via the nanoscopic...

Freakin' thank you for pointing out that Schrödinger was mocking the Copenhagen interpretation of superpositions. His intention is far too often presented as exactly the opposite.

So, that's Ryuk and Sonzai X (nutcracker form) in the bottom panel of page 33, but who's the guy dressed like a stage magician (suit and cape, holding a cane or wand)?

@Ovdose Although she says the words are like Heian Japanese, they know about radio, and their riles look like later Arisaka models, placing them around the 1900's (~700 years later). It's likely a blend of classicly Japanese and imported foreign elements consistent with WW1-WW2 Japan. Or they...

Reminds me of steamrolling encounters in Final Fantasy Tactics with a full team of red chocobos. Good times.

I suspect his ability modifies the optical density of air rather than its physical density, otherwise it would make much more sense to attack enemies directly. It would also explain why he thinks his ability pairs particularly well with hers.
