  • Artisans (in Japanese) was written as 匠 ( たくみ, or takumi). Yes, like the character of the same name. Though it may be coincidence as he is not featured in the comic. The word means “skill/craft” etc.

  • There seems to be a few people who are confused with the panel on the right’s punchline. It is not a reference lost completely in translation, as the joke exists within his English profile, which states, “the youngest old man” at the end of it.
  • What is lost in translation is why his English profile says that, where you can read an excellent post on several different blogs, this one for example among others.
  • Considering it existed in the English profile, I did not feel too much a need to make a note of it, as I assumed readers would think of what his profile said.

Notes:

  • As you may have guessed, the left panel was slightly different in Japanese. It revolves around the joke of the word for “flower” and “nose” being said the same way in Japanese. Elise said “flower” (花 hana), then, realizing her mistake, fixed it by saying to Izana “My nose is held high!” (鼻が高い hana ga takai), which is a literal translation of an idiom that refers to being proud, so she is essentially saying “I’m quite proud of it!” “It” being her ability to calculate the total so quickly. She follows it up with “If I do say so myself” using boastful language (我ながら warenagara).
  • I went through many different possible ways to convey this joke. Flowers had to be kept as it was crucial that she kept her moonlighting as a flower vendor secret. So I cut her off at “flo” first, which could lead to the punchline at the end. I am well aware that the “flo” in flower and the word “flow” are said differently, meaning she would have said “flaaow” the first time, and “flouw” the second time. To compensate, while struggling to fix her mistake, she says “Um…I mean flow…” The reader can assume she meant the second pronunciation this time. It’s reinforced by Izana saying “Uh…flow?” Which then leads to the last part. Originally, Izana had said “Flower?” (asking for clarification) there, so the original content was not changed too much either.

  • Felicia’s Japanese profile refers to her as the “Goddess of Destruction” (or, “most destructive goddess”). The English profile simply says “The most destructive.” I try to use localization info when applicable (such as how Beruka’s “Has the highest poison tolerance” being right from her profile), but since it was Odin speaking, I think it sounded more fitting for him to say the first one (which is indeed what he said in Japanese anyway). So it worked out nicely.

100translateNotes:

  • The joke in Japanese revolved around two idioms. Both idioms relate to weather, and also contain the word “fox” (kitsune) within them.
  • The first is 狐日和 (kitsune biyuri) which literally translates to “fox weather,” and is used to refer to fickle weather that is unpredictable (like a fox).
  • The second (both the title and punchline) is 狐の嫁入り (kitsune no yomeiri) which literally translates to a “a fox’s wedding.” It is used to refer to sun showers. Kaden is about to remark that its called such, but then springs to hug Selkie not wanting her to go get wed!
  • To convey this joke best I could (as English lacks a fox/weather equivalent) without also having to explain or change the entire joke, I simply opted to show the reader that the Kitsune refer to the weather with these phrases, (with Kaden saying “we call this” or “we refer to it as”). Even if the reader speaks no Japanese, they would hopefully accept that this is what these strange Kitsune do! Conversely, that helps emphasize Keaton’s point in the end, too.

  • As mentioned on the page itself, the support in the right panel had Caeldori hounding Kiragi for not writing a “war situation report” (more accurately, a report a scout would make on enemy positions, etc). It was changed to her hounding him about “cleaning the latrine” in the English version. But, obviously, that would make no sense with this comic strip, so I felt the need to point that out to those who were wondering what the “report” even was in the first place.
  • You may read a separate post about that matter here.

Notes:

  • In Japanese, Keaton said お礼参りに来たぜ! which can mean “We’ve come to settle the score!” to which Kaden corrects him saying, 恩返しね (“repay a favor”). The joke carried well in English, as settle the score has more negative connotations (usually someone seeking revenge), which is why Corrin was nervously confused.
  • An alternative meaning is Keaton saying, “We’ve come on a pilgrimage to give thanks!” (the above line can mean that too), which Corrin would still be notably confused by, but the above flowed better in English.
