It's probably supposed to be "downsizing".

I had a gander at the raw, and it certainly said "daunfoosu".

Ach, could be.

I really don't like the translation into Big Bro (in fact I absolutely hate it in general and not just here). Here when using a term (onii-san) that implies "young man" instead of uncle (oji-san) implying "middle-aged man" or grandfather (ojii-san) implying "old man" it is my opinion that it would be better to leave the original and give a TL note.

It is onii-san in the raws, that's why I translated it as big bro. That's also why the old man is flustered and talked about his flattery on the next panel

Given that the author has his editor to proofread before give the go signal, that might be unlikely to happen.

They're your translations. You can do them however you like and I thank you for your efforts either way. Translating words with contexts that don't match or that have no direct translations must be very difficult. (I'd feel sorry for someone trying to translate Schadenfreude to English instead of using a TL note...)

(Not trying to debate. Sorry. I just dislike Big Bro and Big Sis so much...)

I'm just stating that my preference is to leave those terms as they are. If they're going to be translated then why not translate senpai to senior and kouhai to junior? Calling a stranger Onii-san would be respectful in Japanese but calling them Big Bro in English wouldn't be. The respectful context is lost so, IMO, "onii-san" with a TL note for the context is better than "big bro".

All of the other terms (uncle, aunt, grandpa/grandfather, grandma/grandmother) are much harder especially the last two because there are times when in American English you might call an unrelated person grandpa to their face in a respectful way.

I hope you enjoy today's chapter, still I won't understand why people don't want yukito to forgive them ngl when they're doing their best to move on while atoning for their sins.

Edit: I lost

some people on here wouldn't forgive them if they were him and that's ok, what's dumb is projecting it on him, or expecting a revenge series when that was never the goal
