The Rising of the Shield Hero - Ch. 108 - Loincloth Dog

[NotTriton]

Wait... Why the name change? Witch? Isn't it supposed to be...

BITCH?

The official English changed it to Witch to avoid complaints from child protection groups, so Tanooki changed it to match.

That's so stupid. Shield Hero is not for children. Getting sick of sanitization localization.

Not this sh*t again... These localizers and their virtue signaling really ruining otaku culture.
And the fan TL group following suit makes it worse. Come on...

Ah yes, Witch with a capital B (fuck you too official translations with a skin like rice paper, you're purposefully kneecapping excellent translators)

Bitch is translated as witch wut?

Because the point is that she's being insulted when referred to. Calling her "Witch" nullifies the punishment while also being a dumb nod to the reader "we could call her Bitch, but we'll soften it with a 'w'."

Keep the original bitch. This is just stupid to change at this point. Just silly to follow the official crap

OK might have missed something. Anyone know what was the Japanese characters they used for the 1st Princess punishment "name"? I was pretty sure it was supposed to be Bitch and not Witch?

@NotTriton Can we please have that "witch" thingy reversed? Its perversion.

Tanooki, my dudes, I know we got a Vicchi type of pun last chapter and it did make sense last chapter but please don't run with it

Please read this note we added in the chapter titled "witch"

The name change from Bitch to Witch is official in the original source, we as a fantl group will always try to follow the original source. So because it's like this in the raws we will not be changing it back to Bitch.

However there are cases where we can't use the correct translation due to it being greatly ingrained into the knowledge of the readers.

This is specifically for "Air Strike Shield" which is actually a wrong translation with the correct being "Erste Shield".

While we would love to change it to Erste shield, it would just cause too much confusion.

I legitimately thought witch was a character that cast the slave crest on Bitch. I didn't realize the discrepancy until the comments.

 

[NotTriton]

Seeing how even the manga artist got so sick of it that she had to take a break, I'd guess it's here to stay.

B*tch should be a good compromise

 

[KuroZer0]

That’s a terrifying character development.

Oh, like the B word that was NOT greatly ingrained enough into the knowledge of the readers, even by mistake or as a workaround from the sources...
Come on...

 

[Iskarioth]

Did this manga always have such stupid, pointless dialogue ?

 

[K_Takuya]

The name change from Bitch to Witch is official in the original source

Spoiler: Raws comparison

Had to check the raws. And yeah, it checks out. I can see how you come to that decision. Not that I like it, but I get it.
Shoulda lead with this in the TL notes, my dude

 

[NotTriton]

Shoulda lead with this in the TL notes, my dude

We have, check chapter 106.

 

[Werebearguy]

Yeah, I'm still gonna call her BITCH though. Fits her way better.

Keel's full of humor in this chapter. Her furry form looks like a shota, she looks like she has titanic breasts on page 27 due to the angle and her shirt being so breezy, and her looking girly in several scenes when her original thing was looking like a boy. Keel has had all sorts of changes since first being introduced.

That sickening thud when Filo kicked Motoyasu was excellent though. You could feel how hard that kick was.

tanks for the food

 

[chairlight]

I hope this shit with Motoyasu won't be a running gag.

I think your hope is in vein, though it might reduce some in the future.

Spear hero spinoff was decently interesting.

 

[spinder]

Something worse then fanservice censorship is word censorship.

 

[K_Takuya]

We have, check chapter 106.

I did say it worked THEN, since it was the big punchline of some sort.
Keeping the change afterwards is surprising to say the least, and I think it's fair to say i'm not the only one to think so.

 

[Doutorfunga]

I hope this shit with Motoyasu won't be a running *over gag.

FTFY

roadkill hero in the making

 

[Wolvenworks]

The official English changed it to Witch to avoid complaints from child protection groups, so Tanooki changed it to match.

That’s horseshit. How such a weak argument passed is beyond me.

 

[GK]

That’s horseshit. How such a weak argument passed is beyond me.

That argument is like saying CoD/GoW/GTA need to be censored because children play it.
Fuck censorship.

At least use Vitch. It's more acceptable than witch. Have you ever heard of Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya from Fate?

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.
