for a second there i thought he talking to himself

Maura, better move your ass girl... You are about to lose 1st Lady spot in Gaile's harem

If it is BIS for gamer terms , Best in Slot? But considering the orginal item's specs. I guess it could be considered one of the best items you could wear?

Considering that we are talking about equipable gear, this makes the most sense. I remember this term from raiding in World of warcraft. It is used to describe the best piece of gear the game had to offer for a particular slot: head/shoulders/back/chest/legs/feet/wrists/fingers/neck/trinkets.

Considering he calls it bis (1/6 ) I think it is safe to assume, that bracelet will be the best in slot item, for wrist, that the world has to offer. The (1/6) that refers to that it's just 1/6th of the demon lords heart, will probably also mean that the entire set will consist of 6 parts of any of the mentioned above.

Assassin is making moves and soon, the princess and elf.

GYATT! I am loving this 😂

Learning so much about Bis here.

Surprised about Best In Slot and about it being an "improved version but not enough to be a second version" meanings.
I can understand the latin meaning and french meanings, of course.

By the way, here in Brazil we usually either use it like the word "encore" in english, or asking for/talking about a repeat, or when talking about or referencing 14-bis, a plane made by Santos Drummond in France that... we kinda argue with USA people if it is the first aeroplane or not.
Oh, and a chocolate that used to be VERY popular... until a youtuber that is loved by children but hated by most others became sponsored by them and they were boycotted. No idea what happened to them now.

I really doubt he meant "Best In Slot" guys. Both because... I don't think he would ever consider a work the best he would ever do for a slot, and... I doubt he would allow "slot limitations" to affect his works. Dude is a Haxxed min-maxer.

Princess Carla spared his old party's lives. Eh... I didn't even hear about her punishing them, it's only implied at best and no punishment at worst.

I didn't even notice it the first time, but the princess also has what seems like a taxidermied alien torso decorating her room. Located in such a way that it's in view from her bed.

I don't remember her buying something like that from Gaile, but maybe she's been collecting super creepy kitsch like this even before she met him, and in that case this twisted sense of aesthetics they both share is part of why she's so infatuated with him.

Liznette ended up becoming his shopkeeper while he's busy with his mad accessory work. According to my notes she's not just an assassin, she was the assassin guild's leader. Pretty important person is now his employee.

Gaile's presented to the reader in a friendly way since we've known him from the start, but from an outsider, him talking to himself while dancing with a headless skeleton would be 100% bonkers territory...

Bro used the skull of a demi-god to make the equivalent of the fish that sings when you get close

Bis is like a repetition of something, it is like the equivalent of you naming a file with the same name as another and adding a number

 

[erintem]

I hate that that’s actually a very reasonable excuse to put her in a maid outfit

 

[art17]

bis means repeat or twice, in this case, we have 2 Maou bracelets, so to differentiate the one made by the MC from the original one, you use bis.

“Bis” is used in technical specs to signify an improvement which isn’t big enough to merit a full version number change. (Admittedly, the only standard I know of which actually used it was the V.32bis modem standard, but it was apparently widely-known enough that this was not considered weird at the time.) IIRC, it’s from the French for “kiss”, as in “this is the same standard, but with an added little bit of attention”.

Kind of. Bis is a repetition, it's a Latin word like etc. Here, it is used because it's the second iteration on the cursed heart.

No, it's from latin: bis repetita means "things repeated twice", so it's when you have a second iteration on something you've already done once, to improve it.

I see

Probably if it is a gamer term.

According to the person I met who was a contributor to the V.32 standard, they were thinking of the French meaning.

At least in MMO terms, more specifically oldschool runescape, BIS stands for "Best In Slot" so the best possible item to be equipped for a given activity.

Ironman BTW

Yes.

No. The word “bis” in French means things such as encore or second iteration.

Yes. International telecommunications terms are often French. But you were mistaken about the meaning of the French “bis”.

Regarding "bis" and the explanations already in the thread, I'm understanding that it's basically the same as the more commonly used "kai"?

Yep, example, This food is very good, can i have a bis?
Mean twice, can i have it again? Is often used in my country too.

The french wors you're referring to is "bise", "bis" just mean a new version with minor change.

I don't think it comes from French but directly from the latin word "bis", same as other languages, and I suppose here it's used as if it was "Mark II", but as it'd be weird to name something "Mark II" in a medieval fantasy setting, "bis" it is.

i personally think “Best In Slot” is more likely what the author is going for. If he intended for “second iteration” or something than sayin “V2” or something like that would have made more sense

Well, I'm French and it doesn't mean "kiss". So they were probably told something like that from someone else and just like you, decided to remember it wrong.

As for French, unsurprisingly for a romance language, bis and ter's latin definitions are known and sometimes used, e.g. house street numbering can be "38, 38bis, 38ter" the way some countries do "38, 38a, 38b".

And here's the rest of them for anyone who cares https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_numerals#Adverbial_numerals

The (1/6) that refers to that it's just 1/6th of the demon lords heart, will probably also mean that the entire set will consist of 6 parts of any of the mentioned above.

I'd say Mark II, v2 or 2.0

I like how not one person thought of a slightly more common way an English only speaker could understand "bis" because none of y'all appear to be exclusively English.

But to toss me hat into the 1/6 demon heart ring,here's the ever so chunky Char B1.

But you more often hear about the second version.

And to add further proove of the usage of "bis".

Be it the various WWII games that have it,or Madchen Und Panzer(with the best case being this comic before the Das Finales came out),this is a lot more common then others when it comes to "bis",outside of non-English people anyway.

Definitely not "Best In Slot(BIS)" since this series has barely even touched upon their own state screen,let alone talk about any gamer limitations.

Anyway,have a good day,y'all.
