Lv2 kara Cheat datta Moto Yuusha Kouho no Mattari Isekai Life - Vol. 3 Ch. 12 - Dark Grand Mage Damarinasse

[Crookshanks]

all this hype out of nowhere, kinda scary for the longevity of the series

 

[thock3d]

@dope0420 here we go again

 

[lenovoaxioo]

Ok, i want to say this word so much.


WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

With the pacing, isn't the introduction, the defeat, and the battle of the demon and dark mage too fast? They are supposed to be major chara right? Not just a mob

 

[Aran1]

i dont remember this from the novel. though i might have dropped it before getting there.


@lenovoaxioo everything is a mob when you surpass the max level XD

 

[fortnog]

Slow down a little, m8. We already had conflict smh.

 

[Halo]

Well, if that's an actual futa with a dick... Congratulations to MC, he finally got one.

 

[monkey123]

Is it male, female or futa? WTF?

 

[megavirus]

As far I understand in the WN Hiya was a female(?) with a very nasty tendency, but don't get me wrong i agreed with tseng explanation (few blocks below this)

Spoiler

After see the Fulio and Riss in their sweet time, she(?) took some others female to punish into another realm and became partially a male and studied the mating process with the victim

 

[Sharkexpert12]

@megavirus hiya is genderless in both and because the english language has a hard time with sexually ambiguous characters it often means you need to just use "they, it , that, ect" witch is janky and sounds horrible or just pick one and hold to it. You see it often in other translated works and stories from all over.

 

[megavirus]

@Sharkexpert12
Yes that's why I told I do agreed with @tseng
Was a sword(demon), do sword have gender?
It was just my personal feeling after reading the raw

 

[GrimGriefer]

No such thing as chicks with dicks, only dudes with boobs

 

[Aichan]

He? But Hiya clearly has titties.

 

[mikoreimu]

@aichan well... Hiya actually genderless but have quite big anime tiddies... well...

 

[lvxferre]

@icarushector "they" wouldn't work well here, it would sound like the characters are avoiding "he" and "she" on purpose. A better strategy would be pronoun avoidance - somewhat similar to what the JP author did. It would require some rewrite though:

It seems that he this demon came from that very castle
it would be more effective to keep him Hiya around as an ally
but I only have myself to blame, for getting beaten by him!

 

[humbleoverlord]

Nyeeeh...

It's funny how japanese manga keep pushing the idea of enemy becoming friend, it's almost like they try to convince and reassure the US (and the rest of the world) that they are definitely friend and not enemy anymore...

 

[Flashplayer0CD]

@humbleoverlord LMFAO HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT GOT ME also japan full of simps too

 

[Irfanzud02]

I bet in next chapter MC will defeat that female mage, got another new ally and BOOOOM

The End

@Sharkexpert12 There's nothing janky about They. It's like saying there's something janky about 'you' which follows similar principles. Some people are just really stubborn against anything they're slightly not used to.

The only jank is if someone tries to make they follow the wrong rules. They are can be singular just like you are is, if you try saying they is/you is for example, it's janky, but not how it works regardless. The difference between 'is' speech and 'are' speech is more etymology based than anything.

Then that just leaves the argument that 'they is hard to tell apart when there's multiple people, are they talking singularly or plurally?' but frankly that's no more of an issue than 'she' while there's multiple women, or 'he' when there's multiple men. At that point you're really just better using someone's name if it needs to be explicitly identifying one person.

It's funny since in other/most languages like Japanese, non gendered language IS really hard, English is not the same though, some people are just stubborn against very old rules that are only coming into higher prominence now.

 

[MCX01]

Can't wait to see the mage cower before the lead when she understands the difference between an ant and a living GOD!

 

[Lanfear]

genderless titty demon, wonder if it has a dick too.
