RuriDragon - Ch. 18 - Get People to Know You

[BuyVelomobiles]

Hey, venom's better than poison, at least. As long as it doesn't get into any open wounds or orifices you're relatively safe. Ruri, herself, on the other hand...

No such distinction in Japanese.

I bet the venom acts like her fuel for her fire. If it's not ignited, we get it's raw form.

 

[Omnicrom]

Eyes and Horns count as one since they showed up at the same time.

To be pedantic Ruri wasn't drawn with slitted pupils until after she first breathing fire, but I would probably also fold the two of them together as just "looks dragon-y".

On the other hand, though, this chapter has the bit where her eye glows before she coughs up venom, so maybe there's something about her eyes that will differentiate them? Additionally when she generated lightning her eyes shifted such that she had "+" shaped pupils, so what's going on with her eyes is still up in the air. It could count as a separate trait, but it might not.

A quick reminder that this series is more of a rewrite than a translation. Don't pay too close attention to the exact words being used.

Be honest here, even if you fixed the translation, would you even enjoy this type of happy fluffy story at all?

You never say if you think some character is cute or not, or theorize about potential plot developments.

Yes.

There's nothing to discuss because this isn't the story.

How does one recognize liquid venom on sight?

How does one recognize liquid venom on sight?

Since it's anime, the poison is probably a gross purple, and probably also burned a hole in the ground.

 

[Evangelear]

Eminem has forever ruined the word venom for me, I can only hear it as VENOMMMMMMM VENOM VENOMM VENOMMMMM

 

[Pandacyborg]

How does one recognize liquid venom on sight?

My guess would be that the mom has a list of potential traits she may develop which she’s passed onto the teacher and that he just surmised what it was based on that?

 

[UnluckyGrape]

That sounds like a nasty ability. No one likes venom or poisons.

Considering dragons are considered an amalgamations of different creatures in culture, dragons having venom tracks with snakes or spiders. My question is that does she just spit it out, inject it through teeth, or something else?

 

[Dagger]

The origin of the dragon's spitting fire myth might have been a misremembering of venom burning after a bite and being misinterpreted as fire over the eons so it makes sense for her to spew venom after holding her fire.

 

[IrregularPerson]

Spoiler: apologies in advance

she's tripping acid!!

No such distinction in Japanese.

Why are you reading this adaption? You clearly aren't enjoying it and are only trying your hardest to make other people dislike it as much as you. You're really going all in with the Um Actually-ing trying to ruin everyone else's buzz.

Why are you engaging with my comments? You clearly don't enjoy them either, yet here you are making it a point to not only read them, but to engage with their author. If you dislike them so much, why don't you just block me?

I think if you look deep inside yourself for the answer to that question, you'll find the answer to your own.

 

[YamiryuuZero]

Aha! Finally a new trait shows up!
I knew the manga was building up towards it.

And she admitted she didn't want to take this job, rather she was convinced she wanted to.

Could the venom buildup be a reaction to stress perhaps?

Like if her body is subconsciously trying to drive out all of her bad thoughts by force or something.

Honestly, I hope so. I still don't like the way they forced the responsibility onto her, and I want to see some consequences for that. Having her build up poison due to stress caused by the committee forcing her to take the role and more responsibilities than she is comfortable with could a really good balance to the slice of life drama we have had these past few chapters she spent without showing her dragon traits.

Ah yes, I know you are but what am I, a classic. Hey bud, you replied to my comment first. You dragged me into this hell. I don't know, in this analogy, you're personally talking to the translator/localiser? They certainly aren't reading this thread.

I notice you're still engaging with comments you don't like. I told you Japanese doesn't distinguish between "Poison" and "Venom", then you showed up and asked me why I'm still reading. You can see it right at the top of the page here. Hell, you were there.

That sure is a talent to be able to tell venom from sight alone though if the reason we cant see his arm is because he touched the venom lost it and is not simply stating the obvious that would also kind of make sense.
