So "The Sickness Unto Death" is Soren Kierkegaard and the "Swampman Paradox" is Donald Davidson. "Ideas" is probably Plato. "The Unspeakable" I'm way less certain of, but it's probably Ludwig Wittgenstein?

Well, they both have separate theories on ideas/forms, but I thought Plato would fit better with the power that she showed. Though, I can see how Aristotle's POV could also be used to explain her power as well.

I feel like there isn’t any stakes left to this arc since we already know Nightinggale is just a stepping stone and that there’s like two to three more big bads until it ends. This is like knowing about Kaguya when we’re only on Obito especially since it doesn’t feel like the MC is getting nearly as much spotlight as he desperately needs because I’ve genuinely forgotten his purpose in the plan. The sheer amount of kings gave the author way too much shit to write about and while we’re getting cool fights and world building the lack of focus on the mc just makes the story feel less impactful .

The name was fix in vol 21 so her name is not Aristotle and was indeed Plato

The raw text is this
  • あー解ってるよアリストテレス。他の王とやらを探さないとな

It sounds like Aristotle instead of Plato

The Philosophers have lost Three companions and one's talent was "stolen" by Nightingale.
Who could they be?

Personally I like it more in this manga, since it focuses on historical characters I like it way more if they introduce a lot of character but I understand where you come from.

I love that author understand how significant philosophy is and why it is seen as the father of all knowledge. Thank you for making philosophers a broken group.

Guys who are reading this just a heads up, I'm following the japanese manga and I can warn you that more than 50% of the bubbles in this translation are not accurate with what the original japanese source says, some are not even close.
