Konjiki no Word Master - Yuusha Yonin ni Makikomareta Unique Cheat - Vol. 14 Ch. 68 - Glimpse of a Hero, Part 3

I have now started to either have a dislike of how the author is butchering his power, or how the translators are trying to translate the words from japanese to english. His power is reliant upon the word being a real thing. He can make up a word and its meaning and use his power to materialize the effects of a made up word. So the word, thunderization shouldn't do anything. This I think is an issue with how the japanese gets translated and not much can be done about it except the translators maybe looking into other words that would fit better. On top of that, thunder is sound, not electricity so the word does not match what occured. Another example of the issues with his ability is the fact that diffusion does not mean to split like is shown where the beam splits. It's meaning is closer to spreading out more widely. Slightly different and quite possibly a nitpick, but in a manga that is so reliant upon words, I wish the author and/or translators would put a bit more care into their word selections.

Thanks for the feedback, @fanaticreader95! You're absolutely right and I apologize for those errors. For future releases, I'll make sure to check over the word selection carefully. Here are the updated words:
diffusion --> scatter
thunderization --> electrification or become lightning
Thoughts?

What a foolish demon lord.

 

[riri012]

Satisfied that this is not a harem but annoyed with the foolish and stupid characters surrounding the MC

 

[Firianath]

I hope the bad guys win.

Wait so the panther guy has this otherdimensional space, he traps the MC in there saying there is no air inside so he'll soffocate but then he also says that he has several monsters stored away in there?
I'm no specialist here but if you ask me most monsters are still living beings so they would have to breathe too.
