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.

@DioTheDinosaur Dunno man, Cheap Trick is pretty useless to its ostensible user. Superfly gets honorable mention, but at least you can get rid of it without killing yourself.

@mitsuki48 Pretty sure he was referring to the fact she was deathly ill and only recovered due to Naofumi's medical intervention in the original timeline. For her to be alive in this story requires someone else to have bought a dying demihuman slave and have nursed her back to health, which...

The native monster tamers, what, don't feed their slimes? It seems weird that they wouldn't figure that much out. Sure, maybe some rare types like the cleaner slime, but the way it was presented this chapter, it was as if they had no idea how any slimes evolve. I can't even go with "they...

Re: Mitsuba's stand, the most promising candidate seems to be "Chapter 3: Awaking the Centuries" by Haggard.

Minotaurus and mini-taurus?
