Hitorie(ヒトリエ) - Shinoda Essay about Selfy charm via Uta-Net

　2024年6月5日に“ヒトリエ”が両A面シングル『オン・ザ・フロントライン / センスレス・ワンダー[ReREC]』をリリース！「オン・ザ・フロントライン」は、TVアニメ『無職転生Ⅱ ～異世界行ったら本気だす～』第2クールのオープニングテーマ。「センスレス・ワンダー[ReREC]」は、2014年1月22日に、ヒトリエがメジャー1stシングルとしてリリースした楽曲を、現体制のシノダがボーカルを務める3人体制で再レコーディングしたものとなっております。 On June 5th of 2024 “Hitorie” released a new double A-side single called “On the Front Line/Senseless Wonder [ReRec]”! “On the Front Line” was utilized as the opening song for season 2 of the anime “Jobless Reincarnation”. While “Senseless Wonder [ReRec]” is based off of Hitorie’s first major label single from January 22nd 2014, but re-recorded with the current 3 piece band and Shinoda on vocals.

さて、今日のうたではそんな“ヒトリエ”のシノダによる歌詞エッセイを2回に渡りお届け。第2弾は、自身が作詞を手掛けた収録曲「Selfy charm」にまつわるお話です。会ったこともないような誰かを想像しながら書いた、自撮りがモチーフのこの歌。主人公が対立している価値観とは…。今作と併せて、エッセイを受け取ってください。 Now, today’s song for this column will be the second essay about the lyrics from the vocalist himself, Shinoda of Hitorie, involving the hidden song on the single also written by him, “Selfy charm”. While writing he had been envisioning someone he’d never met, whilst employing selfies as his motif for his tune. Whatever could be thwarting the morals and principles of this imaginary girl…? Please pair this essay with the song to get the full picture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

前回は「オン・ザ・フロントライン」についての話をさせていただきましたので、引き続きわたしが歌詞を手掛けた「Selfy charm」か「さくらのいつか」のどちらかの話をしようと思うんですが、「さくらのいつか」に関しては最早語るまでもないというか、あなたが聴いて感じたことが全てと思っていただいて結構ですので、ここはひとつ「selfy charm」について語らせていただこうかと思います。こっちはこっちでかなり僕にとって深刻なテーマを書いたつもりなので… Previously I had delved into the story behind the song “On the Front Line”, so next I thought it appropriate to delve into another song on the same album, meaning either “Selfy charm” or “Sakura no Itsuka”. However in regards to“Sakura no Itsuka” there’s actually nothing that needs to be said aloud, whatever you guys out there think and feel when you listen to it is the whole crux of it, and that’s all that matters in the end. Thus I’ve settled on “Selfy charm” to be the topic of discussion instead. I did write this song with the intention of portraying a fairly serious matter as well, so…

selfyってことで自撮りが歌詞のモチーフになってるんですけど僕は自分の顔が全然好きじゃなく、そのくせ仕事上ステージでカッコつけなければならない局面が多い為、ライブ中はハイになっていたり自分のことが見えてなかったりするので特に気にはならないんですが記録物としての自分を見た途端にコイツこんなツラの癖に自分がカッコいいつもりでやっていたのかと愕然することが多く、それだけで半日寝込んだりする時も余裕であったりするんですね。 Selfy is in the title so obviously the lyrics revolve around the idea of taking pictures of oneself, but the thing is that… I despise my own face, even despite the fact that my profession often demands me to act all cool up on stage. Mid-show once the ball gets rolling I do get into it and lose sight of myself so it doesn’t bother me in the heat of the moment, but as soon as I see myself in the recordings I am often left astonished. “Damn this mutt’s got such an ugly mug yet he’s really putting on airs huh,” I think to myself, then proceed to spend the next half a day sleeping willy-nilly.

ルッキズムが自家中毒を起こして苦しんでいるみたいな状態。てめー何年バンドマンやってんだ、良い加減慣れなさいよって話で、これから歳を取っていくたびに嫌いな部分なんてどんどん増えていくわけで、このままでは憎悪の螺旋が自己に向けてねじ巻いていくばかりなので早々に割り切りをつけないとこっから先マジでやばそうだなと思ってますが、そんなもんなあ、つけられるんならとっくの昔につけられてたっつーのなあ。 It feels as though it’s lookism causing me to suffer autointoxication. “How many years have you been in a band now you moron get used to it already woncha”, I tell myself. The older I get the more things I find to hate about myself,and at the rate I’m going I’m about ready to become trapped in a wicked spiral of my own making. I realize that I need to cut it out as soon as possible or else I’ll be walking on a tightrope until kingdom come but…. If I was able to do that in the first place then I would’ve done it long ago, y’know.

そんな僕も自撮りをSNSに放り投げまくっていた時期とかあって、若気の至りとスマホを手にした喜びがマリアージュして発芽した過ちとでもいいますか、別に自分の顔を100%憎悪しているわけではなくて、好きなところはあるけど好きじゃない部分は抹消したい程に嫌、といった塩梅でして、これなら世に出せるかもみたいなレベルまで自分の顔を監修出来る楽しさが自撮りにはあったんですよね。ただインカメで反転させたまま撮るという行為にとても違和感を感じていて、結局鏡に映った自分の顔は普段見慣れた顔かもしれないが真実性に欠けるというか、その真実性が自分自身を苦しめている筈なんだけど、なるべく嘘を発信したくないという自分のだるい部分がそれをさせてくれなくて、そのうち色々面倒臭くなって自撮りはやらなくなったのですが…結局そういっただるい部分によってスポイルされるスピード感ってあるよな～とか思ったりします。 Nevertheless even I too had a phase when I would flood social media platforms with my selfies. The heat of my youth mixed with the joy of holding a smart phone in my hands, it was like those two ideas married together to germinate a mistake. It’s not as if I 100% cannot stand my own face, there’s things about it that I do indeed like, it’s just that the more I want to eliminate the parts I don’t like, the more and more I grow to hate those parts, it’s a vicious cycle. So back in the day I had found fun in supervising my own face and capturing a selfy that was good enough to show the world. However, the whole thing with the Instagram Camera and stuff wherein you can take photos flipped from the get-go and all just feels weird to me. Like it’s true that I am more used to the face I see in the mirror, but it just doesn’t feel as true to reality if I flip the image that way. That exact reality may be exactly what inflicts upon me great pains but, the annoying thing about me is that I’m not the kinda guy to tell lies and so for that reason I just refuse to do what’s better for me sometimes. TL;DR all this crap mixed together is what’s made me stop taking selfies. I find that said annoying part of myself does end up spoiling good things pretty fast sometimes.

何か“嘘”という言葉を曲中で用いてる時点で呪いに似た衆愚的感覚が心に刻み込まれているのかもしれないと、改めて歌詞を読み返し痛感する次第です。この歌詞の主人公である彼女が対立する価値観こそがわたしの呪いのようなそれで、美しくなりたいと願い、行動し続ける彼女達に容易に浴びせられる「嘘」だとか「汚れ」といった数多の定型句が装填されたまま回る世界のある日の刹那、タイムラインに颯爽と現れ、タブレットの液晶を滑らせる指を反射的に止めさせられた一枚のセルフィーの美しさに込められた覚悟と情念、のようなものを勝手に想像している時点で到底僕なんかが追いつけないスピード感で彼女達は生きているのかもしれない、という想像。会ったこともないような誰かを想像しながら歌詞を書くってマジで謎の行為だなと思うんですが、それでも書きたくなってしまったものはしょうがないじゃない。 The fact that I use the word “lie” so much in the song perhaps exhibits a mobocratic sensibility that’s been etched onto my heart that’s akin to a curse, or so I felt become painfully apparent after I reread over the lyrics. The girl who’s the main character of this song and her opposing values* are just like this curse of mine, she wishes she could be beautiful. She charges herself up with stock phrases such as “impurities”and“lies” that other woman so readily bask in, until one fateful moment, when as the world was going round and round something gracefully materialized on her Timeline: a selfy depicting a beauty filled with such resolve and passion that it caused the finger sliding around the liquid crystal within her display to immediately halt in its tracks. Or so I envisioned and realized that these woman are living life so fast that I could never ever dare to catch up with them. Writing lyrics while thinking about some imaginary person I’ve never met before is some really whacky stuff I think but, once an idea’s stuck in my head what else is a guy to do but get it outta their system y’know.

「さくらのいつか」に関しても、曲も歌詞も含めて果たしてこれを今書いてしまっていいのかしら、と悩んだ時もありましたが、それよりも書きたくなってしまったものはしょうがないじゃない、という気持ちが余裕で勝ったので、昨今のわたしはきっとそういうモードなのかもしれません。多分良い傾向なんだと思う。 Both this song and “Sakura no Itsuka” had me stressing for a while whether they were okay to write or not, but in the end once an idea’s stuck in my head what’s a guy to do but write it, and that inspiration won over the stress in the end. I’m just in that kinda zone these days I guess. And I think it’s probably for the better.

JJ Lyrics Part 1: Jack & Jeanne of Quartz

I've been asked by a few people about an English version of the opening theme since Ion doesn't give lyrics for it in-game. I do not trust myself to have the lyrical ability to translate it well rhythmically, but I've been thinking that perhaps if I put out a gist of the meaning then perhaps someone more musically inclined can work off of that to turn it into something usable. At the very least, I hope it's helpful to give a bit more context. I'll include the original lyrics as well for those who want to compare side by side. For all of these (assuming I get to more) I'll be using the full song version lyrics from the vocal collection. Translation notes are in brackets. Sorry the spacing is weird because Tumblr's formatting is honestly kinda garbage and won't let me change much.

Can listen along to the full version song on Youtube here. I also got the full character colour-coded lyrics here. Note: The lyrics in this game are quite dense with nuances and references so if there's any I seem to have missed, please do let me know! Please consider these simply rough drafts to get the gist of the full lyrics as I just did this in one sitting. Normally I check over things a few times before posting, but I kinda did this on a whim. Things like pronouns and prepositions are very much context-dependent here so a fair bit can be changed depending on interpretation. If there are clear mistakes, please let me know and I'll edit it.

Kai: こころにひそむ無色の願い

Suzu: かたちに出来ずうつむく

Colourless wishes hidden deep within one’s heart/

Unable to take form, looking downwards

(The word for colourless is often used in reference to Quartz particularly since they are the inexperienced class who have yet to develop their unique “colours” yet)

Kisa/Mitsuki: いつか見ていた夢のつづき

Neji: どこまで行けるか？

Kisa/Sou: たしかめようその器を

Fumi: からだ賭けて

Keeping alive that dream you once saw/

How far can you go for it?/

Let’s give it a shot with this vessel/

Risking our bodies on it

(Since it’s a group number I’m just assuming bodies here to be plural)

LIs: この胸で躍る

Kisa: 眼差しがとらえる

LIs: 可能性のリズム

Kisa: クォーツのペンデュラム

LIs: 踊れよジャック

Kisa: 映すポテンシャル

All: まだ行ける？

This dancing in our chests/

Capturing a glimpse/

The rhythm of possibility/

Pendulum of Quartz/

Dance, Jacks!/

Reflective potential/

Can you keep going?

(In these alternating LI/Kisa sections, assume that they are singing both sets of lines simultaneously, but whoever is listed first in the section is the more prominent one)

Kisa: さあ乙女たちも

LIs: 僕らを導く

Kisa: いま立ち上がる

LIs: クリスタルのパス

Kisa: 歌えよジャンヌ

LIs: 歩む未踏の地

All: まだ行ける？

And to all you girls too/

Guide us (masc)/

Stand up right now/

Path of crystal/

Sing, Jeannes!/ Walk the untread land/

Can you keep going?

(Not entirely sure about the meaning of パス here since it can be read as ‘path’ or ‘pass’ and it isn’t fully clear)

Fumi/Kai: からだに巣食ううつろな渇き

Kai/Neji: 満たせるものは

Neji: 自分だけ

This gnawing emptiness lodged in your body/

Can be filled by/

Only you yourself

Kisa/Sou: きみと見ていた淡い夢は

Neji: あえかに咲く花

Kisa/Suzu: うつくしいもの守れるなら

Fumi/Mitsuki: こころ捧ぐ

This faded dream I saw with you/

Fleeting flowers in bloom/

If it can protect these things of beauty/

We’ll devote our hearts to it

(The kanji for ‘fade’ here matches the kanji used in the song Faded Color, but the kanji for flower is different from the stage flower/vessel usage)

LIs: この願いだけが

Kisa: チャコールナイトグレー

LIs: くらやみ照らす

Kisa: クォーツのライトで

LIs: しるべのランプ

Kisa: 未来さえ照らして

All: まだ行ける

With this wish alone/

Charcoal grey/

Illuminating the darkness/

Through the light of Quartz/

The guidepost lamp/

Light us even into the future/

We can keep going

(Guidepost しるべ is similar although not exactly the same as 道しるべ used in the title of the moon novel)

Kisa: ただ終われない

LIs: はるかなビジョンは

Kisa: そう、想うだけじゃ

LIs: ロマンの見取り図

Kisa: 一度きりの幕

LIs: 二度は描けない

All: まだ行ける

It cannot simply end/

A far away vision/

Yes, this can’t be just an idea/

Outline for a tale/

Just once behind that curtain/

Never to be written twice/

We can keep going

Kisa: ときに迷おうとも

さきが見えずとも

Sou: 残した足跡　

Kisa/Neji/Sou: 信じて

Suzu: 遠回りしても

Kisa: ただ

Suzu: 足がもつれても

Kisa: 歩き続ける

Kisa/Mistuki: ことを

Even if you’re sometimes lost/

When you can’t see the way ahead/

The footprints left behind/

Trust in them/

Even if you go in circles/

Can only/

Even if you trip over your feet/

Keep walking forward/

This is the thing

(ことを at the end of the sentence is rather hard to translate into English since it’s so context-dependent so by all means feel free to find a better iteration of that last line)

Kai: ただただ重ねて　

Kisa: 人はみな育つ

Neji: まだまだ行けるさ

Mistuki: けして手放すな

Kisa: 今にも

Fumi: 原石が

Kisa: 光り

Suzu/Sou: かがやく

Just keeps building, building up/

All people grow up/

We keep going, going/

Never letting go/

On the verge of/

This rough gem’s/

Light/

Shining

(Tried to keep some of the word duplication but it can definitely be done better. The word for rough/unpolished gem/ore is akin to ‘diamond in the rough’ in English and is again used a lot in reference to Quartz being inexperienced but with great potential value)

(This part repeats the first LI/Kisa sections)

LIs: この胸で躍る

Kisa: 眼差しがとらえる

LIs: 可能性のリズム

Kisa: クォーツのペンデュラム

LIs: 踊れよジャック

Kisa: 映すポテンシャル

All: まだ行ける？

This dancing in our chests/

Capturing a glimpse/

The rhythm of possibility/

Pendulum of Quartz/

Dance, Jacks!/

Reflective potential/

Can you keep going?

Kisa: さあ乙女たちも

LIs: 僕らを導く

Kisa: いま立ち上がる

LIs: クリスタルのパス

Kisa: 歌えよジャンヌ

LIs: 歩む未踏の地

All: さあ行こう！ Oh

And to all you girls too/

Guide us (masc)/

Stand up right now/

Path of crystal/

Sing, Jeannes!/ Walk the untread land/

Well, let’s go! Oh!

—

Overall thoughts: I’m sure people can draw their own interpretations from this but you can see it’s a song about dreams and the hard-fought battles in pursuing said dreams with lots of Quartz-related phrasing. Quite interesting as well how Kisa is sometimes mixed in with various LI characters and sometimes singing in contrast to them.

I would recommend for those who haven’t read it to also check out the first chapter of the moon novel (translation here) as it emphasizes Kisa grappling between her dreams and her reality.

Also I would like to plug this cover version by Saki Hazuki singing this song with both male and female parts which feels very Jack Jeanne.

Maomao (Suirei) no Hitorigoto “Side Effects” / 猫猫（翠苓）のひとりごと　第43話　『副作用（ふくさよう/Fuku-Sayo）』

You can watch the video on YouTube, uploaded by the official Toho Animation account.　→ Link to X

Please note that the English lines are just my translation.

翠苓(スイレ��)「翠苓の豆知識(まめちしき)。毒物(どくぶつ)の影響(えいきょう)で、体(からだ)に痺(しび)れが生(しょう)じることがある。体(からだ)を動(うご)かす際(さい)、神経(しんけい)は電気(でんき)で各(かく)部位(ぶい)に命令(めいれい)を出(だ)している。毒(どく)によっては、この電気(でんき)の伝達(でんたつ)を遮断(しゃだん)し、神経(しんけい)の正常(せいじょう)な働(はたら)きを抑(おさ)えてしまう」

Suirei “Suirei’no mame-chishiki. Doku-butsu’no eikyo’de, karada’ni shibire’ga shojiru-koto’ga aru. Karada’o ugokasu-sai, shinkei’wa denki’de kaku-bui’ni meirei’o dashite-iru. Doku’ni yottewa, kono denki’no dentatsu’o shadan-shi, shinkei’no seijo-na hataraki’o osaete-shimau.”

Suirei “Here’s bits of knowledge from Suirei. Poison can cause numbness in the body. When you move your body, your nerves send electrical commands to each part of your body. Some poisons can block this electrical transmission, suppressing the normal functioning of your nerves.”

〇〇の豆知識：　I had translated it into “〇〇’s bits of knowledge” until last time, but I just changed to “from 〇〇” so that you don’t get the wrong idea that the knowledge is about 〇〇.

子翠(シスイ)「昨日(きのう)のお祭(まつ)り、無事(ぶじ)に見届(みとど)けられて良(よ)かった～。本当(ほんとう)に良(よ)かった…」

Shisui “Kino’no omatsuri, buji-ni mitodoke-rarete yokattaaa. Honto-ni yokatta…”

Shisui “I’m glad I was able to see the festival through to the end yesterday. I’m truly glad…”

翠苓「子翠。あいつを見(み)なかったか？」

Suirei “Shisui. Aitsu’o minakatta-ka?”

Suirei “Shisui, didn’t you see her?”

子翠「あいつ？猫猫(マオマオ)のこと？」

Shisui “Aitsu? Maomao’no koto?”

Shisui “Her? Do you mean Maomao?”

猫猫「あぁ～…��体(いったい)どうすれば…！（キラーン！）翠苓様(スイレイさま)！」

Maomao “Aaaa… Ittai do-sureba…! (Kiraaan!) Suirei-sama!”

Maomao “Hmm… What on earth should I do…! (Shining) Lady Suirei!”

翠苓・子翠「翠苓様(スイレイさま)！？」

Suirei, Shisui “Suirei-sama!?”

Suirei & Shisui “Lady Suirei!?”

猫猫「本日(ほんじつ)も体調(たいちょう)に異変(いへん)はありません！」

Maomao “Honjitsu’mo taicho’ni ihen’wa ari-masen!”

Maomao “I’m feeling fine today, too!”

翠苓「えっ」

Suirei “E.”

Suirei “Huh?”

猫猫「昨晩(さくばん)も、大変(たいへん)よく眠(ねむ)れました！」

Maomao “Saku-ban’mo, taihen yoku nemure-mashita!”

Maomao “I also slept very well last night!”

翠苓「そ、そうか…」

Suirei “So, Soka…”

Suirei “I-I see…”

猫猫「室内(しつない)でも適度(てきど)な運動(うんどう)を心(こころ)がけ、食事(しょくじ)は完食(かんしょく)し、健康(けんこう)そのものです！」

Maomao “Shitsu-nai’demo tekido-na undo’o kokoro-gake, shokuji’wa kan-shoku-shi, kenko sono-mono desu!”

Maomao “I’ve tried to get moderate exercise even in indoors, and have eaten all my meals, so I am perfectly healthy!”

完食する（かんしょくする/Kanshoku-suru）: eat all the meal

翠苓「…こいつ、頭(あたま)がおかしくなったのか…？」

Suirei “…Koitsu, atama’ga okashiku-natta-noka?”

Suirei “…Has she gone crazy?”

子翠「違(ちが)うと思(おも)うよ…。蘇(よみがえ)りの薬(くすり)の実験台(じっけんだい)、まだ諦(あきら)めてないんじゃないかなぁ」

Shisui “Chigau-to omou-yo… Yomigaeri’no kusuri’no jikken-dai, mada akiramete-nain-ja nai-kanaa.”

Shisui “I don’t think so… I think she hasn’t given up on being a test subject for the resurrection medicine yet.”

猫猫「ん！ん！」

Maomao “N! N!”

Maomao (Here! Go ahead!)

翠苓「お前(まえ)……副作用(ふくさよう)が怖(こわ)くないのか？」

Suirei “Omae…… Fuku-sayo’ga kowaku-nai-noka?”

Suirei “Aren’t you afraid of the side effects?”

猫猫「妙薬(みょうやく)は、犠牲(ぎせい)なくして、生(う)まれません」（左手(ひだりて)がキラーン）

Maomao “Myo-yaku’wa, gisei-naku-shite, umare-masen.” (Hidari-te’ga kiraaan.)

Maomao “A miracle medicine cannot be born without sacrifice.” (Her left hand shines.)

翠苓「お前(まえ)も左手(ひだりて)に…？（キラーン）この立派(りっぱ)なミミズ腫(ば)れは、何(なん)の毒(どく)を試(ため)したんだ？」

Suirei “Omae’mo hidari-te’ni…? (Kiraaan) Kono rippa-na mimizu-bare’wa, nan-no doku’o tameshita-nda?”

Suirei “You also have ones on your left hand…? (Shining) What poison did you try on this fine welt?”

猫猫「エヘヘ、これはですね…キャッキャッ、キャッキャッ」

Maomao “Ehehe, kore’wa-desu-ne… Kya-kya, kya-kya.”

Maomao “Hehe, this is… (talking lively and cheerfully)”

キャッキャッ(Kya-kya): onomatopoeia for girls’ or kids’ enjoying talking

翠苓「キャッキャッ」

Suirei “Kya-kya.”

Suirei (talking lively and cheerfully)

In case of Suirei, I’m not sure if I can call it “lively and cheerfully” but she must be enjoying.

子翠「放(ほう)っとこう」

Shisui “Hottoko.”

Shisui “Let’s leave them as they are.”

ほうっておく、ほっとく(hotte-oku, hottoku): leave it alone, leave it as it is

猫猫「次回(じかい)、『砦(とりで)』。今度(こんど)はどこに連(つ)れて行(い)かれるのやら…」

Maomao “Jikai, ‘Toride.’ Kondo’wa doko’ni tsurete-ikareru-no-yara…”

Maomao “Next Episode, ‘The Stronghold.’ I wonder where I’ll be taken this time…”

New Sonic Channel EGGMAN wallpaper!

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL HE'S SO PERFECT I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART AHHFKSBAHFKABDKAJFSJ!!!!!! 💕💜💖💕💖💜💗💜💖💕💜💗

I MUST include the description on the page because OMFG I'm losing my mind!!! Translation of what I could get through DeepL, seems slightly better than what I can get on auto translate on the page:

"It is no exaggeration to say that the Sonic series would not begin without him! He is pushing forward towards his ambition of world domination: ...... He has an IQ of 300!

You all know what I'm talking about, don't you?

The evil genius scientist who has no equal in this world.

It's Dr. Eggman!

It is rare to see Dr. Eggman, a scientist, in a fighting pose: ......! No, or perhaps he is watching with a look of satisfaction as he beheads his enemies with the mecha and robots he has created himself......! Either way, he looks really cool with his fearless smile and kanroku poses!

As you all know, Dr. Eggman has been Sonic's nemesis ever since his debut in the game "Sonic the Hedgehog" and has been a big villain who has been plotting various devious schemes. Sometimes he acts as a serious and dignified "evil genius scientist," and at other times he shows a slightly off-kilter "angry old man" side. ...... I think that this variety of charm is the reason why Dr. Eggman is not only a big bad guy but also a great villain.

Coolness like in this illustration is also one of his many charms!

The latest game title to feature Dr. Eggman is "Sonic Frontiers," the third free major upload of which was released today!

In this title, Dr. Eggman is trapped in a mysterious place called "cyberspace," but even in such a situation, his clear mind, strong will ...... He is still a very smart, strong-willed, and selfish man, and this time, too, he is "as good as Eggman! He was very unique with his new subordinate girl, "Sage". The unique relationship with the new subordinate girl, "Sage," is also not to be missed. ......"

-----------------

Let me just gush about WHY I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS:

"It is no exaggeration to say that the Sonic series would not begin without him!"

It really is no exaggeration to say many of the games and entire series wouldn't have even began without him and that's why he's so important!

"The evil genius scientist who has no equal in this world."

That's right because he's the BEST and he knows it so that's why his ego is huge! XD

"It is rare to see Dr. Eggman, a scientist, in a fighting pose: ......! No, or perhaps he is watching with a look of satisfaction as he beheads his enemies with the mecha and robots he has created himself......! Either way, he looks really cool with his fearless smile and kanroku poses!"

They say he's possibly either got a "fighting stance" like the big strong handsome man he is or he's watching with a look of satisfaction as he "BEHEADS HIS ENEMIES" with his "mecha and robots he created himself" !!!! FUCK YEAH HE LOVES VIOLENCE AND DESTRUCTION that's the real dynamic he has with his creations!!! And yes he does look "really cool" with his pose and his "fearless smile" AHHHH 🥰

"Dr. Eggman has been Sonic's nemesis ever since his debut and has been a big villain who has been plotting various devious schemes.

Sometimes he acts as a serious and dignified "evil genius scientist," and at other times he shows a slightly off-kilter "angry old man" side.

I think that this variety of charm is the reason why Dr. Eggman is not only a big bad guy but also a great villain. Coolness like in this illustration is also one of his many charms!"

THIS SUMS HIM UP SO PERFECTLY, he's a big villain that plots devious schemes of world domination! He's an "EVIL GENIUS SCIENTIST" AND an "ANGRY OLD MAN" side! I love how he's an evil scientific and evil old man, my favorite way to describe him!

"Coolness is one if his many charms." Yes he IS cool and that IS one of the many parts of his charm!!!!

"Dr. Eggman is trapped in a mysterious place called "cyberspace," but even in such a situation, his clear mind, strong will. He is still a very smart, strong-willed, and selfish man."

HE'S A VERY "SMART, STRONG-WILLED, AND SELFISH MAN" YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT HE IS!!!!! 💗💕💜💜💕💗💕💜

"He was very unique with his new subordinate girl, "Sage".

AND acknowledgement that Sage is his "SUBORDINATE" as his servant and protector not the other way around‽‽‽

This is saying absolutely EVERYTHING I'm saying about him ALL THE TIME, it's like they reached into my mind and pulled out every single thing I've ever observed about his character and summed it up here!

I'm so glad I was right and that he really is the man I fell in love with and that OFFICIAL JAPANESE SONIC TEAM/SONIC CHANNEL MEMBERS who really get the say agree and describe him that way when it comes to their own character- I'm so happy I could cry :'D

#I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I'M SO SO SO HAPPY #dr eggman #eggman #dr robotnik #dr. eggman #sonic channel #sonic frontiers #sage the ai #my post #hits

「ねぇねぇねぇ。」ピノキオピー - 歌詞と英訳

youtube

rо̄maji below the cut!

ねぇねぇねぇ。＠君へ一方通行のメンションです夜明けまで二人喋ってるのに　独り言みたいな感じ

hey hey hey, @ you, this is a direct mention even though we’re up talking until dawn it feels like i’m just talking to myself

「チョコレート食べたい時あるよね」「ノーメイクでかわいい子無敵だね」「腹立つけどあいつ優しいよね」ねぇねぇねぇ。話を聞いてよ

“some days you just want to eat chocolate” “girls who look good with no makeup are dangerous” “it pisses me off, but he’s pretty nice” hey hey hey, listen to what i’m saying

目が合わないけど「はいはいはい」興味はないけど「へえ、それで？」笑えないけど「おもしろいね」何も感じないけど「うれしい」聞いてないでしょ　聞いてないでしょ聞いてないでしょ　知ってるもんこっちの「好き」は届いてるかな？

our eyes don’t meet but i say “yes, yes, yes” i’m not interested but i say “wow, then what?” i can’t laugh but i say “so funny” i don’t feel anything but i say “i’m so happy” you aren’t listening, you aren’t listening you aren’t listening, i can tell did you even hear my “i love you”?

ねぇねぇねぇ。＠君へ一方通行のメンション夜明けまで二人喋ってるのに　独り言みたいな感じねぇねぇねぇ。臆病な劣等生　僕たちは未経験です世界中「好き」で溢れてるのに　一人きりみたいな感じあなたは今どんな感じ？

hey hey hey, @ you, this is a direct mention even though we’re up talking until dawn it feels like i’m just talking to myself hey hey hey, we’re inexperienced, cowardly flunkies even though the whole world is overflowing with “love,” it feels like i’m all alone how do you feel right now?

「パスコード毎回入力面倒だね」「GPS追跡アプリ便利だね」「今夜は満月がきれいだね」ねぇねぇねぇ。話を聞いてよ

“it’s so annoying to type in the passcode every time” “gps tracking apps are pretty convenient” “the full moon is so pretty tonight” hey hey hey, listen to what i’m saying

わかってないけど「わかります」よく知らないけど「ああ、それね」すべってるけど「すべらんなあ」本当は悲しいけど「イェイイェイ」他愛ない嘘　他愛ない嘘他愛ない嘘　ついてるよこっちを振り向いて欲しいから

i don’t understand but i say “got it” i don’t really care but i say “oh, so true” i’m flunking but i say “i won’t fail” really i’m sad but i say “yay yay” they’re pointless lies, they’re pointless lies i’m telling pointless lies because i want you to turn and look at me

ねぇねぇねぇ。ハートマーク消して　照れ隠しのテンションですドキドキに蓋をして向かい合うたび　他言語を使ってる感じねぇねぇねぇ。端役の八等星　不器用なりに夢を見て心の奥深くで迷子の恋　他人事みたいな感じ近いのに遠のいてる感じ

hey hey hey, erase the heart emoji, i’m panicking hiding my embarrassment every time i cover up my racing heart and face you, it feels like we’re speaking different languages hey hey hey, i’m a faraway planet in a bit part, dreaming in my klutzy way the lost love in the depths of my heart feels like someone else’s problem even though we’re close it feels like we’re drifting away

かまってちゃんって　なんで？身勝手だって　なんで？悩んでしまって　不安で黙って　泡になっちゃう　アローンアローンすれ違う双方のねぇねぇねぇねぇ。無関心も安心も紙一重さ

why am i such attention whore? why am i so selfish? fretting, angsting in silence, turning into foam, alone, alone the both of us brushing by each other, saying hey hey hey hey the line between apathy and ease is razor-thin

ねぇねぇねぇ。＠君へ一方通行のメンションです夜明けまで二人喋ってるのに　独り言みたいな感じねぇねぇねぇ。臆病な劣等生　僕たちは未経験です世界中「好き」で溢れてるのに　一人きりみたいな感じあなたは今どんな感じ？二人とも大好きな感じ？

片方を選べない感じ？

Episode 11 (Final Episode of Season 3): A Connected Bond: Daybreak and First Light (2/2) / 第十一話（シーズン最終話）『繋いだ絆、彼は誰時、朝ぼらけ（つないだきずな、かはたれどき、あさぼらけ/Tsunaida Kizuna, Kawataredoki, Asaborake）』 (2/2)

*Green colored words are only in anime, not in original manga, and we usually call them “アニオリ/ani-ori(アニメオリジナル/anime-original)".

養母(ようぼ)「俊國(としくに)。入(はい)りますね。あら…。俊國(としくに)、どうしたの？こんなに散(ち)らかして。調(しら)べ物(もの)をしていたのね。目当(めあ)ての本(ほん)が見(み)つからないの？一緒(いっしょ)に捜(さが)してあげるわ。その前(まえ)に一休(ひとやす)みして、お茶(ちゃ)を飲(の)みましょう」

Yobo “Toshikuni. Hairi-masu-ne. Ara… Toshikuni, Do-shita-no? Konna’ni chirakashite. Shirabe-mono’o shite-ita-none. Meate’no hon’ga mitsukara-nai-no? Issho’ni sagashite-ageru-wa. Sono-mae’ni hito-yasumi-shite, ocha’o nomi-masho.”

Adoptive mother “Toshikuni? I’m coming in, all right? Oh, my… What’s gotten into you, Toshikuni? Making such a mess… I see that you’ve been doing some research. You can’t find the book that you need? I’ll help you find it. But first, take a break. Let’s have some tea.”

俊國(としくに)(無惨(むざん))「ついに…」

Toshikuni(Muzan) “Tsui’ni…”

Toshikuni(Muzan) “At last…”

養母「なあに？」

Yobo “Naani?”

Adoptive mother “What’s that?”

俊國(無惨)「ついに太陽(たいよう)を克服(こくふく)する者(もの)が現(あらわ)れた…!! よくやった、半天狗(はんてんぐ)!!」

Toshikuni(Muzan) “Tsui’ni taiyo’o kokufuku-suru-mono’ga arawareta…!! Yoku-yatta, Hantengu!!”

Toshikuni(Muzan) “At last, someone able to withstand the sun has appeared! Good work, Hantengu!”

養母「まぁ随分(ずいぶん)楽(たの)しそうね。読(よ)んだ本(ほん)のお話(はなし)かしらっ…」

Yobo “Maa zuibun tanoshi-so-ne. Yonda hon’no ohanashi-kashira…”

Adoptive mother “Well, you certainly seem to be enjoying yourself. Perhaps it’s the stories you’ve been reading―”

メイド「え？えっ？奥(おく)…様(さま)？首(くび)が…どうしたんですか？」

Meido “E? E? Oku…sama? Kubi’ga… Do-shitan-desu-ka?”

Maid “Huh? Huh? Madam? What happened… to your head?

俊國(無惨)「これでもう、青(あお)い彼岸花(ひがんばな)を探(さが)す必要(ひつよう)もない。クククッ！」

Toshikuni(Muzan) “Korede-mo, aoi higan-bana’o sagasu hitsuyo’mo nai. Kukuku!”

Toshikuni(Muzan) “Now… there’s no need to search for the Blue Spider Lily.”

メイド「ねえ、奥様(おくさま)…」

Meido “Nee, Oku-sama…”

Maid “Madam…”

俊國(無惨)「永(なが)かった…!! しかしこの為(ため)！この為(ため)に千年(せんねん)！増(ふ)やしたくもない同類(どうるい)を増(ふ)やし続(つづ)けたのだ！」

Toshikuni(Muzan) “Naga-katta…!! Shikashi kono-tame! Kono-tame’ni sen-nen! Fuyashi-taku’mo-nai do-rui’o fuyashi-tsuzuketa-noda!”

Toshikuni(Muzan) “That took so long. But it was for this reason, for this reason, for one thousand years… that I’ve continued to increase my kind unwillingly!”

無惨「十二鬼月(じゅうにきづき)の中(なか)にすら現(あらわ)れなかった稀有(けう)な体質(たいしつ)！選(えら)ばれし鬼(おに)！あの娘(むすめ)を喰(く)って取(と)り込(こ)めば、私(わたし)も太陽(たいよう)を克服(こくふく)できる!!」

Muzan “Juni-Kizuki’no naka’ni-sura araware-nakatta keu-na tai-shitsu! Erabare-shi oni! Ano musume’o kutte tori-komeba, watashi’mo taiyo’o kokufuku-dekiru!!”

Muzan “A rare constitution that never showed up even among the Twelve Kizuki. The chosen demon. If I devour that girl and absorb her… I, too, will be able to conquer the sun!”

メイド「人殺(ひとごろ)し!! 人殺し!! 化(ば)け物(もの)!! 旦那様(だんなさま)！旦那様ァー!! 旦那さ…」

Meido “Hito-goroshi!! Hito-goroshi!! Bake-mono!! Danna-sama! Danna-samaaaa!! Danna-sa…”

Maid “You murderer! You murderer! You monster! Master! Master! Ma―”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

無惨（思(おも)えばあの時(とき)…千年前(せんえんまえ)に始(はじ)まったのだ。まだ平安(へいあん)と呼(よ)ばれる時代(じだい)であった）

Muzan (Omoeba ano-toki… sen-nen-mae’ni hajimatta-noda. Mada Heian-to yobareru jidai-de atta.)

Muzan (Now that I think of it, it was on that day. It all started one thousand years ago. The era was still called Heian back then.)

医者(いしゃ)「申(もう)し上(あ)げます。薬(くすり)の用意(ようい)が調(ととの)いましてございまする」

Isha “Moshi-age-masu. Kusuri’no yoi’ga totonoi-mashite gozai-masuru.”

Doctor “If I may, sir… Your medicine is ready for you now.”

無惨「やぶ医者(いしゃ)め…」（とは言(い)え…このやぶ医者(いしゃ)をおいて他(ほか)にすがる者(もの)もない）

Muzan “Yabu-isha-me…” (Towa-ie… kono yabu-isha’o oite hoka’ni sugaru-mono’mo nai.)

Muzan “You inept doctor…” (That side, this inept doctor is the only one I have to lean on.)

無惨「これを飲(の)まねば、私(わたし)はどうなる」

Muzan “Kore’o noma-neba, watashi’wa do-naru.”

Muzan “What will become of me… if I don’t take this?”

医者「ご承知(しょうち)の通(とお)り、二十歳(はたち)を数(かぞ)える前(まえ)に、そのお命(いのち)尽(つ)きましょう。私(わたし)は貴方様(あなたさま)に、少(すこ)しでも生(い)きていただきたく、力(ちから)を尽(つ)くしております」

Isha “Goshochi’no toori, hatachi’o kazoeru-mae’ni, sono oinochi tsuki-masho. Watashi’wa anata-sama’ni, sukoshi-demo ikite-itadaki-taku, chikara’o tsukushite-ori-masu.”

Doctor “As you know… you will not live… to see your 20th birthday. I am doing all I can… to help you live… even a little longer.”

無惨「ああ…わかった。もういい」（どうせ効(き)かん）

Muzan “Aa… Wakatta. Mo-ii.” (Dose kikan.)

Muzan “All right, fine. That’s enough.” (It won’t work anyway.)

無惨（ああ…壊(こわ)したい。全(すべ)ての存在(そんざい)を。診察(しんさつ)を繰(く)り返(かえ)そうが、薬(くすり)を処方(しょほう)しようが、病状(びょうじょう)の悪化(あっか)は止(と)められない）

Muzan (Aa… Kowashi-tai. Subete’no sonzai’o. Shin-satsu’o kuri-kae-soga, kusuri’o shoho-shiyoga, byojo’no akka’wa tome-rare-nai.)

Muzan (Ah… I want to destroy them! Every living being! No matter how many times he examines me… or administers that medicine… nothing can stop my symptoms from worsening.)

無惨「ハァ、ハァ、ハァ…。死(し)んで当然(とうぜん)だ。やぶ医者(いしゃ)め…」

Muzan “Haa, haa, haa… Shinde tozen-da. Yabu-isha-me…”

Muzan “Death is all you deserve! You damn incompetent doctor!”

無惨（けれども、その医者(いしゃ)の薬(くすり)が効(き)いていたというのが分(わ)かったのは、医者を殺(ころ)して間(ま)もなくのことだった。私(わたし)の体(からだ)は生気(せいき)が漲(みなぎ)り、強靭(きょうじん)な肉体(にくたい)を手(て)に入(い)れたかと思(おも)えたが、問題(もんだい)があった。日(ひ)の光(ひかり)の下(した)を歩(ある)けない。…わかるのである。日光(にっこう)に当(あ)たれば死(し)ぬのだと）

Muzan (Keredomo, sono isha’no kusuri’ga kiite-ita-to-iu-noga wakatta-nowa, isha’o koroshite mamo-naku’no koto-datta. Watashi’no karada’wa seiki’ga minagiri, kyojin-na niku-tai’o te’ni ireta-kato omoeta-ga, mondai’ga atta. Hi’no hikari’no shita’o aruke-nai. …Wakaruno’de aru. Nikko’ni atareba shinu-noda-to.)

Muzan (But then I realized that this doctor’s medicine was working… not longer after I’d killed him. My body was bursting with energy… and I thought that I’d gained a durable physique… but there was one problem. I couldn’t walk in the sunlight. I could tell. That if exposed to sunlight, I would die.)

無惨（人(ひと)の血肉(ちにく)を欲(ほっ)するようになった。それであれば、人(ひと)を喰(く)らえば良(よ)い。邪魔(じゃま)な奴(やつ)らがいるのなら、排除(はいじょ)すれば良(よ)い。それだけのこと）

Muzan (Hito’no chi-niku’o hossuru-yoni natta. Sorede-areba, hito’o kuraeba yoi. Jama-na yatsu-ra’ga iruno-nara, haijo-sureba yoi. Sore-dake’no koto.)

Muzan (I began to crave human flesh and blood. To remedy that… all I had to do was devour humans. If anyone stands in your way, just eliminate them. That’s all there is to it.)

衛士(えじ)「待(ま)てい！都(みやこ)の安寧(あんねい)を乱(みだ)す鬼(おに)め！」

Eji “Matei! Miyako’no an-nei’o midasu oni-me!”

Guard “Come back here! You cursed demon who disrupts the peace of the capital!”

無惨「それは…私(わたし)のことか？」

Muzan “Sore’wa… watashi’no koto-ka?”

Muzan “Are you… talking about me?”

衛士(えじ)たち「ぐわあ…！」

Eji-tachi “Guwaa…!”

無惨（力(ちから)を手(て)に入(い)れたのだ。永遠(えいえん)の力(ちから)を。しかし、この私(わたし)が昼間(ひるま)のうち行動(こうどう)を制限(せいげん)されるのは、屈辱(くつじょく)であり、怒(いか)りが募(つの)った。私(わたし)は、日(ひ)の光(ひかり)でも死(し)なない体(からだ)を求(もと)めた。医者(いしゃ)の作(つく)った薬(くすり)の調合(ちょうごう)を見(み)たが、試作(しさく)の段階(だんかい)だったからか、“青(あお)い彼岸花(ひがんばな)”という薬(くすり)の作(つく)り方(かた)は、わからなかった。その薬(くすり)には実際(じっさい)に青色(あおいろ)の彼岸花(ひがんばな)が使用(しよう)されているようだったが、その青(あお)い彼岸花(ひがんばな)が、どこに生息(せいそく)しているのか、栽培(さいばい)できるのか、知(し)っていたのは殺(ころ)した医者(いしゃ)のみ。日本中(にほんじゅう)どこを探(さが)しても見(み)つからなかった。私(わたし)は、本当(ほんとう)の不死(ふし)となる為(ため)、青(あお)い彼岸花(ひがんばな)と、太陽(たいよう)を克服(こくふく)できる体質(たいしつ)の者(もの)を探(さが)すことの二(ふた)つを最優先(さいゆうせん)としてきた。そしてとうとう、見(み)つけた。あの娘(むすめ)が太陽(たいよう)を克服(こくふく)した今(いま)、これ以上(いじょう)同類(どうるい)を増(ふ)やす必要(ひつよう)はない。それを取(と)り込(こ)み、私(わたし)は日(ひ)の光(ひかり)を克服(こくふく)する。禰豆子(ねずこ)を手(て)に入(い)れ、私(わたし)は完全(かんぜん)なる存在(そんざい)となるのだ！）

Muzan (Chikara’o teni-ireta-noda. Eien’no chikara’o. Shikashi, kono watashi’ga hiruma’no-uchi kodo’o seigen-sareru-nowa, kutsu-joku’de-ari, ikari’ga tsunotta.

Muzan (I had gained power. Eternal power! But… having to restrict my movements during the day was humiliating… and my anger only grew. I began to seek a body that wouldn’t perish in the sunlight. I examined the compounds for the doctor’s elixir, but perhaps because it was still in the experimental stages. I couldn’t figure out how to make the medicine called ‘Blue Spider Lily.’ It did seem to contain actual blue-colored Spider Lilies… but as for where this Blue Spider Lily bloomed or whether or not it could be cultivated… no one knew but the doctor I’d killed. I searched all over Japan but failed to find it. In order to become truly immortal… finding the Blue Spider Lily… and someone who had the ability to survive the sunlight… Those two have been my top priorities. And at last… I’ve found her! Since that girl has conquered the sun… there’s no longer any reason to increase my kind. I will absorb her… and then I will conquer the sunlight. I will get my hands on Nezuko… and become a perfect being!”

珠世(たまよ)「炭治郎さん。十二鬼月(じゅうにきづき)と禰豆子さんの血(ち)を提供(ていきょう)し、研究(けんきゅう)に協力(きょうりょく)してくださってありがとう。浅草(あさくさ)で、無惨(むざん)に鬼化(おにか)させられた男性(だんせい)が、自我(じが)を取(と)り戻(もど)しました。禰豆子さんの血(ち)のお陰(かげ)です。無惨(むざん)の支配(しはい)からも解放(かいほう)され、少量(しょうりょう)の血(ち)で生(い)きていられる。禰豆子さんの血(ち)の変化(へんか)には、驚(おどろ)いています。この短期間(たんきかん)で、血(ち)の成分(せいぶん)が何度(なんど)も何度も変化(へんか)している」

Tamayo “Tanjiro-san. Juni-Kizuki’to Nezuko-san’no chi’o teikyo-shi, kenkyu’ni kyoryoku-shite-kudasatte arigato. Asakusa’de, muzan’ni oni-ka-sase-rareta dansei’ga, jiga’o tori-modoshi-mashita.

Kono tan-kikan’de, chi’no seibun’ga nando’mo nando’mo henka-shite-iru.”

Tamayo “Tanjiro… I thank you for providing me with the Twelve Kizuki’s and Nezuko’s blood… and for helping me with my research. The man in Asakusa who was turned into a demon by Muzan… has regained his sense of self. It’s thanks to Nezuko’s blood. Released from Muzan’s control… he can live on a small amount of blood. The transformation of Nezuko’s blood surprises me. In such a short time, the components of her blood have changed again and again.”

珠世「私(わたし)はずっと考(かんが)えていました。禰豆子さんが未(いま)だ自我(じが)を取(と)り戻(もど)さず、幼子(おさなご)のような状態(じょうたい)でいる理由(りゆう)を。恐(おそ)らく、禰豆子さんの中(なか)では、自我(じが)を取(と)り戻(もど)すよりも重要(じゅうよう)で、優先(ゆうせん)すべきことがあるのではないか」

Tamayo “Watashi’wa zutto kangaete-imashita. Nezuko-san’ga imada jiga’o tori-modosazu, osana-go’no-yona jotai’de iru riyu’o. Osoraku, Nezuko-san’no naka’dewa, jiga’o tori-modosu-yori’mo juyo’de, yusen-subeki-koto’ga aru-no-dewa-naika.

Tamayo “All this time… I have been thinking. Why it is that Nezuko has yet to regain her sense of self… and remains in a child-like state? I believe that… in Nezuko’s mind… there’s something more important than regaining her sense of self… something that she needs to prioritize.”

珠世「愈史郎(ゆしろう)。愈史郎」

Tamayo “Yushiro. Yushiro.”

Tamayo “Yushiro? Yushiro?”

愈史郎「はい。珠世様(たまよさま)、何(なん)でございましょう」

Yushiro “Hai. Tamayo-sama, nan’de gozai-masho.”

Yushiro “Yes, Lady Tamayo? What can I do for you?”

珠世「茶々丸(ちゃちゃまる)を呼(よ)んでもらえる？」

Tamayo “Chachamaru’o yonde-moraeru?”

Tamayo “Can you summon Chachamaru for me?”

茶々丸「ニャー」

Chachamaru “Nyaaa.”

愈史郎「茶々丸(ちゃちゃまる)なら、もう準備(じゅんび)できております」

Yushiro “Chachamaru-nara, mo junbi-dekite-ori-masu.”

Yushiro “Chachamaru is ready to go now.”

珠世「炭治郎さんと禰豆子さんに、よろしくね」

Tamayo “Tanjiro-san’to Nezuko-san’ni, yoroshiku-ne.”

Tamayo “Give my regards to Tanjiro and Nezuko, okay?”

茶々丸「ニャー」

Chachamaru “Nyaaa.”

珠世「炭治郎さん。これは完全(かんぜん)に私(わたし)の憶測(おくそく)ですが、禰豆子さんは近(ちか)いうちに、太陽(たいよう)を克服(こくふく)すると思(おも)います」

Tamayo “Tanjiro-san. Kore’wa kanzen’ni watashi’no oku-soku-desu-ga, Nezuko-san’wa chikai-uchi’ni, taiyo’o koku-fuku-suru-to omoi-masu.”

Tamayo “Tanjiro… This is pure speculation on my part. But I believe that it won’t be long… before Nezuko can conquer the sun.”

Katana-kaji “Socchi’wa tanonda.”

刀鍛冶「ありがとう」

Katana-kaji “Arigato.”

Swordsmith “Thanks!”

Tecchin “Are you feeling all right?”

炭治郎「はい。色々(いろいろ)とありがとうございました。すみません。俺(おれ)のために、こんな荷車(にぐるま)まで」

Tanjiro “Hai. Iro-iro-to arigato-gozai-mashita. Sumi-masen. Ore’no tame’ni, konna ni-guruma-made.”

Tanjiro “Yes! Thank you for all that you did for me. And thank you. You even provided me with this cart.”

鉄珍「お礼(れい)を言(い)うのは、こちらじゃて。よくこの里(さと)を守(まも)ってくれたのう。感謝(かんしゃ)する」

Tecchin “Orei’o iu-nowa, kochira-jate. Yoku kono sato’o mamotte-kureta-no. Kansha-suru.”

Tecchin “I’m the one who should be thanking you. You did a good job protecting this village! I’m grateful to you!”

炭治郎「俺(おれ)の力(ちから)なんて、大(たい)したことなかったです。みんなの力(ちから)で…みんなの力と、今日(きょう)まで何百年(なんびゃくねん)の思(おも)いを繋(つな)いできた、その刀(かたな)だから、上弦(じょうげん)を倒(たお)すことができたんだと思(おも)います」

Tanjiro “Ore’no chikara-nante, taishita-koto nakatta desu. Minna’no chikara’de… Minna’no chikara’to, kyo-made nanbyaku-nen’no omoi’o tsunaide-kita, sono katana-dakara, Jogen’o taosu-koto’ga dekitanda-to omoi-masu.”

Tanjiro “I wasn’t able to do that much on my own. It was everyone pulling together! Our combined strength… and that sword that’s been connecting us to centuries of hopes until today. That’s why we were able to defeat those Upper Rank demons.”

鉄珍「うん、うん。そうじゃな。妹(いもうと)はどうした？」

Tecchin “Un, un. So-jana. Imoto’wa do-shita?”

Tecchin “Yes, yes. You’re right. And where’s your sister?”

炭治郎「眠(ねむ)っています。かなり疲(つか)れさせちゃったから」

Tanjiro “Nemutte-imasu. Kanari tsukare-sase-chatta-kara.”

Tanjiro “She’s asleep. Since I really exhausted her.”

鉄珍「そうか。無事(ぶじ)で本当(ほんとう)によかった」

Tecchin “Soka. Buji’de honto’ni yokatta.”

Tecchin “I see! I’m truly glad that she’s all right!”

炭治郎「はい」

Tanjiro “Hai.”

Tanjiro “Yes!”

鉄珍「んん？鉄穴森(かなもり)よ。あそこでコソコソしているのは、蛍(ほたる)か？」

Tecchin “Nn? Kanamori-yo. Asoko’de koso-koso shite-iru-nowa, Hotaru-ka?”

Tecchin “Huh? Hey, Kanamori! Is that Hotaru lurking around over there?”

鉄穴森「はい…」

Kanamori “Hai…”

Kanamori “Yes.”

鉄珍「何(なに)しとるんじゃ？」

Tecchin “Nani shitorun-ja?”

Tecchin “What is he doing?”

鉄穴森「隠(かく)れているつもりらしいんですが、研磨(けんま)途中(とちゅう)の刀(かたな)を使(つか)った炭治郎さんを許(ゆる)せないらしく…」

Kanamori “Kakurete-iru-tsumori-rashiin-desu-ga, kenma-tochu’no katana’o tsukatta Tanjiro-san’o yuruse-nai-rashiku…”

Kanamori “He seems to think that he’s hiding… but apparently, he can’t forgive Tanjiro for using a sword before it was fully honed.”

炭治郎「えええ…」

Tanjiro “Eee…”

Tanjiro “Huh?”

鉄珍「仕方(しかた)のない奴(やつ)じゃ。蛍(ほたる)、ちょっとこっち来(こ)い。こっちへ来(こ)いと言(い)っとるんじゃ！」

Tecchin “Shikata’no nai yatsu-ja. Hotaru, chotto kocchi koi. Kocchi’e koi-to ittorun-ja!”

小鉄「ちょっ…ええっ！」

Kotetsu “Cho… Ee!”

Kotetsu “Hey! Come on… Hey!”

炭治郎「すみません。痛(いた)い、痛いです」

Tanjiro “Sumi-masen. Itai, itai-desu.”

Tanjiro “Sorry! Ouch! That hurts!”

鉄珍「蛍(ほたる)」

Tecchin “Hotaru.”

Tecchin “Hotaru!”

小鉄「でも、炭治郎さんたちが来(き)てくれなかったら、里(さと)は壊滅(かいめつ)していたと思(おも)いますよ」

Kotetsu “Demo, Tanjiro-san-tachi’ga kite-kure-nakattara, sato’wa kaimetsu-shite-ita-to omoi-masu-yo.”

Kotatsu “But… if Mr. Tanjiro and the others hadn’t come… I’m sure the village would’ve been destroyed!”

炭治郎「痛(いた)い…ああっ…」

Tanjiro “Itai… Aa…”

Tanjiro “Ow! Ow!”

鋼鐵塚「ぐぐ…フン！」

Haganezuka “Gugu…Fun!”

Haganezuka “Hah!”

炭治郎「いてて…」

Tanjiro “Itete…”

鉄珍「蛍(ほたる)よ。本当(ほんとう)は里(さと)まで来(き)てくれた炭治郎君(たんじろうくん)に、挨拶(あいさつ)しに来(き)たんじゃろ」

Tecchin “Hotaru-yo. Honto’wa sato’made kite-kureta Tanjiro-kun’ni, aisatsu-shini-kitan-jaro.”

Tecchin “Now, Hotaru… the real reason you came here was to speak to Tanjiro… who came all the way here, right?”

炭治郎「鋼鐵塚(はがねづか)さん、いつも俺(おれ)の刀(かたな)を手入(てい)れしてくれて、ありがとうございます。そのお礼(れい)を言(い)いたくて、俺(おれ)はこの里(さと)に来(き)たんです」

Tanjiro “Haganezuka-san, itsumo ore’no katana’o teire-shite-kurete, arigato-gozai-masu. Sono orei’o ii-takute, ore’wa kono sato’ni kitan-desu.”

Tanjiro “Mr. Haganezuka… Thank you for always taking care of my sword! I came to this village… because I wanted to thank you for that.”

鋼鐵塚「か…刀(かたな)はちゃんと打(う)ち直(なお)してやるから、蝶屋敷(ちょうやしき)で待(ま)っとけ」

Haganezuka “Ka…Katana’wa chanto uchi-naoshite-yaru-kara, Cho-Yashiki’de mattoke.”

Haganezuka “I-I’ll reforge your sword for you, so wait for it at the Butterfly Mansion.”

炭治郎「直(なお)してくれるんですか！」

Tanjiro “Naoshite-kurerun-desu-ka!”

Tanjiro “You’re going to repair it for me?”

鋼鐵塚「いいのか？直(なお)さなくて」

Haganezuka “Ii-noka? Naosa-nakute.”

Haganezuka “Don’t you want me to fix it?”

炭治郎「ありがとうございます！」

Tanjiro “Arigato gozai-masu!”

Tanjiro “Thank you very much!”

鋼鐵塚「お…おう…」

[シグレ]

ソレイユ、今よろしいですか？▼

Shigure: Soleil, do you have a moment?

[ソレイユ]

あっ、シグレ。うん、いいよ。▼

どうしたの？

今日も歌の練習に付き合ってくれるの？▼

Soleil: Oh, Shigure! Yeah, I do! What’s up? Are you going to join me for singing practice again today?

[シグレ]

ええと…いや…

今日はそうではなくて…▼

Shigure: Um… No… That’s not it today…

[ソレイユ]

ん？　もしかしてヒマしてるの？

いいよ、じゃあパーーーッと暇つぶしに…▼

Soleil: Oh? So perhaps you’re free then? That’s fine! Let’s kill a whole bunch of time toge-

[シグレ]

い、いえ！　違うんです…

今日は伝えたいことがあって…▼

あなたは以前女の子たちに好かれたいと

言っていたので無理かもしれませんが…▼

Shigure: N-No! That’s not it… There’s something I want to tell you today… Though it may be impossible because you said to me previously that you want girls to like you…

[ソレイユ]

ん？▼

Soleil: Hm?

[ソレイユ]

む。これってもしかして

シグレ先生からの抜き打ち問題！？▼

むむむ…迂闊だったわ。

声ばっかり聞いてて全然思い出せない…▼

Soleil: Gah! Could this also be a pop quiz from my teacher Mr. Shigure?! Hmm… I wasn’t paying any attention to them. I was listening so hard to your voice, that I can’t remember them at all…

[シグレ]

…そ、そうですか…

では仕方ありません。もう一度歌を…▼

はい。▼

Shigure: Yes.

か、からかったりしてない？

うそついてない？▼

誰かに冗談で言ってこいよって

言われたとか…▼

Soleil: Y-You’re not teasing me? You’re not lying? No one told you to say it as a joke…?

[シグレ]

そんなことはしません。

俺は本気です…▼

本気であなたが好きなんですよ。▼

Shigure: My words are none of those things at all. They are my true feelings… I am truly in love with you.

[ソレイユ]

そうだったんだ…

うれしい。▼

…………▼

あたしもね…

…シグレが好きだよ。▼

Soleil: You really meant it… I’m happy! ………… I, um… love you, too.

えっ？▼

Shigure: Huh?

[ソレイユ]

あたしも歌を教わっているうちに、

シグレの優しい人柄に惹かれてたんだ。▼

あなたの告白…

受けることにするよ。▼

Soleil: As you were teaching me singing, I became infatuated with how kind you are, too. Your confession… I choose to accept it.

[シグレ]

ありがとうございます、ソレイユ！▼

Shigure: Thank you, Soleil!

[ソレイユ]

ううん、こちらこそありがとう。

Shigure: You are?

Soleil: You confessed to me so beautifully, yet I can’t confess back in the same way at all!

[シグレ]

ははは、そんなもの要りませんよ。▼

あなたが傍にいてくれれば、

俺は幸せですから。▼

Shigure: Ha ha ha, you have no need to. Because if you are by my side, I will be happy.

———————————

Localization:

Shigure: Your singing's getting better, Soleil. I wouldn't enter you into any competitions just yet, but it should win over the ladies.

Soleil: Nice!

Shigure: Let's see...you've got rhythm down, and your melody is steadily improving... Why don't we work on something new for a change?

Soleil: Something new? What did you have in mind?

Shigure: Given your motivation for improving your singing—it's still to impress girls, right?

Soleil: Shigure, EVERYTHING I do is to impress cute girls.

Shigure: *ahem* Yes, well... Nothing makes women swoon faster than serenading them with a song about them. So today, I thought we might try some elementary songwriting.

Soleil: Whoa. That seems like a big step up. I don't know if I'm ready...

Shigure: Don't be nervous! It's easier than you'd think. I'll show you with an extemporized song about you.

Soleil: You're gonna sing a song about me? Oooh, this is gonna be good!

Shigure: *ahem* La la laaa... ♪ Soleil, Soleil, my closest friend ♪ She fights at my side until battle's end

Soleil: Oh my gosh...that was so good! I'm really touched, Shigure!

Shigure: Everything sounds better when sung well. All I really said was that we're friends and we fight together. Pretty simple. But when sung, it feels deeper and more meaningful.

Soleil: Even without the music, though, it was nice of you to say. I think I see your point, too. Let me try one about you! Let me tell you about my friend, Shigure ♪ He cheers me up on my woooorst day He's kind and patient and a good teacher ♪ I couldn't ask for a better...um...creature?

Shigure: Haha, you've just learned one of the first lessons of songwriting: be careful never to paint yourself into a corner.

Soleil: You made it seem so easy! I guess I still have a lot to learn.

Shigure: Yes, but I don't mind helping you. Besides, even if your meter was a bit off and you flubbed the rhyme...

Soleil: Ughhh, don't rub it in.

Shigure: I was still touched by the sentiment.

Soleil: Huh? But all I said was you're nice, and good at encouraging me.

Shigure: Ah, but even with you as the singer... it had so much more meaning when sung.

BNHA Observations, speculations and assorted info: Pre-marriage Todoroki Enji (Part 1)

So, in order to write my fic, I spend much time observing canon scenes, comparing the manga and the anime version, take note of details, translations and info in them as well as finding out how are some things called.

Since what I noticed/speculated/found out can be of use for other fic authors I thought to share as well.

Resources:

Chap. 356 "Regarding the Enemy" (敵について Teki ni Tsuite) Chap. 93 "One For All's Ember" (残り火ワンフォーオール Nokoribi One for All) Chap. 165 "Win Those Kids' Hearts" (掴めガキ心) Tsukame Gaki Gokoro) Chap. 189 "Why He Gets Back Up" (彼は何故立ち続けたか Kare wa Naze Tachi Tsudzuketa ka) Chap 192 "The Todoroki Family" (轟家 Todoroki-ke)

Ep. 49 "One For All" (ワン・フォー・オール) Ep. 79 "Win Those Kids' Hearts" (掴めガキ心 Tsukame Gaki Gokoro)

School Briefs I "Epilogue" School Briefs III "Dramatic Makeover!"

Team-Up Missions: Mission 33

To this date the chapter that shows the youngest Todoroki Enji is 356, which include some sort of dream/hallucination in which Enji faces his past self and his 'origin' so first let's look at...

THE FULL SEQUENCE AS IT IS IN THE MANGA

There are two core scenes, one depicting Enji's father's death preceded by a speech of young Enji:

'Sara ni yowaku natta' 「更に弱くなった」 “You became beyond weak.”

'Tachiba to tsugunai to ayamachi to sekinin ga' 「立場と償いと過ちと責任が」 “Position, atonement, mistakes and responsibility.”

'Omae no seirai no yowasa wo abaki dashi miru ni taenai guzu e to hikizuri oroshita' 「おまえの生来の弱さを曝き出し見るに堪えない愚図へと引きずり下ろした」 “Your innate weaknesses was exposed and I can't bear to see how you were dragged down into an indecisive person.”

'Chōjin ni wa narenainda yo Enji (omae) wa' 「超人にはなれないんだよ炎司（おまえ）は」 “Enji, you can’t become a superhuman.”

'Genten wo omoi dase' 「原点を思い出せ」 “Remember your origin.”

While fighting the Nomu Enji said he hated U.A. School motto, Plus Ultra or, in Japanese 'Sarani mukō e' (更に向こうへ "Beyond the other side" or, better "Further beyond"). Now his past self seems to taunt him saying 'Sara ni yowaku natta' (更に弱くなった “You became beyond weak.”)

'Seirai no yowasa' (生来の弱さ) is translated as 'weakness that was always there' in the English version but 'seirai' (生来) actually make clear the weakness is innate, by nature. In short Enji was born weak and tried to hid it. 'Guzu' (愚図), more than a loser is a 'foolish figure', a 'dullard' or also an 'indecisive person'. Enji project an air of arrogance and security but Enji's younger self is implying he's basically not capable.

The official translation uses "Superhero" to translate 'Chōjin' (超人), but there's no 'hero' in the word, someone can be a 'Chōjin' (超人) and be a villain. Ironically we could also translate it as 'superman', and considering later Enji uses laser eyes like Superman I wonder if this was planned.

'Teki ga nan datta no ka wo' 「敵が何だったのかを」 "What was the enemy?"

'Akkan kara shoujo wo sukuou to shi kekka shoujo moro tomo nikukai to ka shita chichi wo' 「悪漢から少女を救おうとし結果少女もろとも肉塊と化した父を」 "Your father tries to save a girl from a scroundel and, as a result, he and the girl were turned into a lump of meat."

The way the sentence is put, it seems to imply that the girl and Enji's father both died because the man tried to save her.

Enji is witnessing the scene, a schoolbag on his back. His school uniform misses the shoulder insigna and the necktie which are part of U.A. summer uniform, so it's possible this took place before Enji joined U.A.

The whole implication of the sentence and the dialogue seems to be that since his father was weak, he caused his own death as well as the one of the girl, and this should have started Enji's obsession for strength.

Young Enji goes on speaking about other things Enji should remember:

’Shin no choujin he no senbou to higami wo’ 「真の超人への羨望と僻みを」 “Your envy and inferiority complex toward a true superhuman…”

Again, the official translation uses plural but there's the image of All Might and in My Hero Academia Ultra Archive is made clear Enji previously viewed everyone else but All Might as weak, so the 'true superhuman' is solely All Might back in his past (then he also added Deku).

We can't see Enji's father's face but he's likely the man on the picture hung on the wall in the room with the Butsudan as in that room Enji would place the photo of his deceased family members.

Going on.

'"Doryoku (‘Endeavor’)” to nanoru hikutsu na shoune wo' 「“努力" （エンデヴァー）と名乗る卑屈な性根を」 “You called yourself ‘effort’ (read 'Endeavor’) due to your menial nature.”

This bit confirms Enji chose his Hero name while at U.A. and picked it up because (compared to All Might) he believed he lacked in skill but, probably, he thought he could compensate with effort/hard work.

From other chapters we know Enji and Recovery Girl know each other from his time at U.A.

‘OB no Yoshimi de kite ageta yo’ 「OBのよしみで来てあげたよ」 “I came for you since you were an alumnus”

'Soreni ima wa mō No.1 hīrōda mono ne' 「それに今はもうNo.1ヒーローだものね」 "Besides, you're also the No. 1 hero now.'

While in the Japanese version Recovery Girl is more vague, saying she came because Enji was an alumnus, since she's in U.A. by basically forever she likely got to know him, which is confirmed in "School Briefs I Epilogue" and "School Briefs III Dramatic Makeover!".

In "School Briefs I Epilogue" is said that with her Enji manages his manners because she's someone he had known nearly all his life.

By the way the two of them call each other by their Hero names.

"School Briefs III Dramatic Makeover!" is more specific. It has Recovery Girl tell Shōto she's been in U.A. by a long time and knew his father from when he was a student at U.A. and how she was always threating him for scrapes, cuts and bruises back in those days as his father used to put himself through the wringer hoping to become Number 1 one day, implying he was impressively driven. Shōto will make clear he doesn't want to hear about his father so she'll later be more subtle, telling him every boy and girl at U.A. tend to do their darnest and that they always had, implying Enji did the same.

We also have a bit of info in "Team-Up Missions: Mission 33" about how Enji holds the U.A. record for no-quirks trash pick-up (as All Might was too busy chatting with everyone).

'Sorezore ga hirotta gomi no sōryō o kiroku!' 「それぞれが拾ったゴミの総量を記録！」 "Record the total amount of trash each person picked up!"

'Tadashi "kosei" shiyō-fuka!' 「ただし”個性”使用不可！」 "However, "Quirk" cannot be used!"

'Onore no junsuina tairyoku nomi de shin kiroku o mezasu nōsuji ibentona nda!' 「己の純粋な体力のみで新記録を目指す脳筋イベントなんだ！」 "It's a brain-muscle event where you aim for a new record using only your own physical strength!"

'Chinamini rekidai No. 1 kiroku hoji-sha Endeavor da 「ちなみに歴代No.1記録保持者エンデヴァーだ」 "By the way, Endeavor is the all-time No. 1 record holder."

There's something else in chap 356 that's interesting in the following bit.

'Kojishite inakereba tamotenu teido no minikui kokoro wo' 「誇示していなければ保てぬ程度の醜い心を」 “Unless you're putting on airs you can't sustain your ugly heart”

'Minikui' (醜い) means "ugly" in the sense of "unsightly/unattractive". 'Kokoro' (心) is a delicious word that can refer to "(emotional) heart" but also to "mind" and "soul".

So basically Young Enji is saying that to hide the fact Enji is weak and indecisive, not a real superhuman, he put on airs to hide it... but the interesting part is that the image focuses on Enji's fire beard.

This was said in his profile.

The rest we have on Enji's youth is from other chapter and it's mostly tiny info.

We've a young Enji, who's now an adult but who still feels the gap between himself and All Might is one he can't surpass.

'Kisama (All Might)..." 「貴様（オールマイト）…」 "All Might..."

'Kisama o koeyou to kensan o kasanete kita…!' 貴様を超えようと研鑽を重ねてきた…！ "I've been repeatedly training hard to surpass you…!"

'Kasaneru hodo ni tsūkan suru.' 重ねる程に痛感する。 "I realized the more I repeatedly did it, the more I feel the pain."

'Kisama to no sa ga… kisama no senaka ga…!!' 貴様との差が… 貴様の背中が…！！ "The difference between you and me is… your back…! !"

'Zetsubō ga! ! Ore o…' 絶望が！！俺を… "I despaired! ! I…"

'Nanda so nonnasakenai senaka wa!!' 「なんだそのっ情けない背中は！！」 “What’s with that pathetic back?!”

LOL, the sentence seems not to make sense but in Japan a large back is equated to strength. Hawks later, thinking about Endeavor will say Enji must do it because Hawks' back isn't large enough.

On another interesting bit... even if Enji says 'All Might' the kanji actually say 'kisama' (貴様) which is currently a very rude way to say 'you'.

We've another bit about Enji's past when he talks with All Might after the latter retired.

'Ore wa ase kō ni subete o takushita' 「俺は焦凍に全てを託した」 "I entrusted everything to Shoto"

'Hatachi no koro ni wa sudeni No. 2 e to noboritsumeta.' 「二十歳の頃には既にNo.2へと登りつめた」 "By the time I was 20 years old, I had already climbed to No. 2."

'Tō tte kitakara koso… rikai shite shimatta.' 「登ってきたからこそ…理解してしまった」 "Because I made that climb… I understands."

'Ore wa itadaki ni wa tadoritsukenai to' 「俺は頂きには辿り着けないと」 "I can't reach the top"

'katagaki ga hoshī dakenara kisama no yō ni herahera to' 「肩書きが欲しいだけなら貴様のようにヘラヘラと」 "If I just wanted a title, I'll be laughing like you."

'Aiso mo furimaitadarou sa.' 「愛想も振りまいただろうさ」 "I would have showed sociability as well."

'Ore wa dare yori tsuyoku naritakatta' 「俺は誰より強くなりたかった」 "I wanted to be stronger than anyone else"

Okay so this was meant to be solely about Enji's past but I can't skip this line. The English translation decided to translate 'takushita' (託した) with 'gave' but it's not like Enji gave Shouto everything Shouto wanted... it's that Enji entrusted his dream, his everything to Shouto. So he's not really depicting himself like a doting father but as a father who planned to have his kid fulfil his dream.

The relevant part in this little dialogue is that Enji became Number 2 at 20.

Considering he started U.A. at 15 and should have finished attending it at 19, it's quite a fast climbing.

The mountain is probably Sekoto Peak (瀬古杜岳 'Sekoto take'), where Enji said he used to train in the past and where Touya will 'die'. (Chap 291).

According to Hawks, Enji was the only one trying to surpass All Might.

Technically though, considering Hawks is one year younger than Touya and got interested in Endeavor after he was saved, he only witnessed him post marriage and it's hard to say if this applied also to when Enji was pretty young. Anyway the previous generation of Heroes come out pretty lame as now the kids at U.A. wants to surpass All Might while before only Enji considered doing it.

And so we get to Enji deciding he can't surpass All Might and therefore must produce a heir who will do so for him... but as that part was transposed in the anime, for a better comparison I'll put it in a part 2.

Hey, so, what do these banners on the walls mean?

Well these aren't real kanji. You don't have to take it from me:

Q: BLEACH の中央四十六室が斬殺されている場面に書いてある四つの漢字何て書いてあるのでしょうか？ A: 作者の創作漢字です東西南北と青龍朱雀玄武白虎の頭文字からとり一つの漢字として組み合わせたものです意味はまぁ東西南北あらゆるものから世界を護るような感じでしょうか四方と守護神なので

Or rather, via Google Translate with some cleanup:

Q: What are the four kanji characters written in the scene where the central 46 rooms of Bleach are being killed? A: It is a kanji created by the author. It is a combination of the initials of east, west, north, south, and blue dragon, vermillion bird, black tortoise, and white tiger as one kanji.

That is to say, they're an allusion to the Four Symbols of Chinese mythology. So you know how I said it made sense that Chinese be known by the elites? Yeah. You know how I also said it made sense that Central 46 exist as a rival institution to the Four Great Noble Houses? These appeals to heavenly authority are essentially in direct opposition to similar claims from the Four Great Noble Houses! Let's review. Tokinada says in CFYOW vol. I:

"But that’s the Soul Society. The Central 46 are the five noble clan’s yes-men, especially when it comes to the powerful Tsunayashiro house.”

Tokinada is obviously trying to mess with Kaname, and this happened over 100 years prior. Later we get:

The Central 46 was the acting voice of the Soul King and so led the Soul Reapers. Occasionally they acted as the supreme judiciary body and meted out judgments. Nayura Amakado was the youngest member of that body—a girl who appeared to be just ten years old. But both Kyoraku and Nanao recognized that the girl had a sharpness that came from living many years longer than her looks suggested, and that she had initiated steady changes in the Central 46, which had on principle previously served the aristocrats foremost.

(This incidentally confirms my statements about how soul growth slows down sometime after five years of age.) Later we get this:

“So, about that. The higher-ups have something they want announced directly in the Bulletin. I thought I’d at least tell you about it, since you’re the captain.” “They want something announced? By ‘higher-ups,’ do you mean Squad Zero?” “No, the Central 46. Or the aristocrats behind the scenes, to be exact.” Kyoraku turned to Hisagi for just a moment before he continued.

We also get told:

Kyoraku didn’t smile back. He simply asked flatly, “And so? What business brought you all the way up here? If you have complaints about the Court Guard, I’d rather you send those through the Gilded Seal Aristocratic Assembly or the Central 46.” “Oh, it’s a simple matter. I want you to get in touch with some people for me. Yoruichi Shihoin doesn’t seem to receive communications through the aristocratic network. Even the Gilded Seal Aristocratic Assembly don’t know where she is. Kuchiki is another matter entirely, but you should at least know how to get in touch with that shrew, am I right?” Tokinada handed Kyoraku a paper with a message for Yoruichi

Later still we get this:

“I want to get the five families on my side, and if I can obtain the formal consent of the Reio, I want to make the Five Great Noble Clans as a body equal in rank to the king. Then the clans would surpass the Central 46 in power as a decision-making body. In fact, I suspect the reason the Central 46 crushed the Shiba house was to make sure something like this never happened.” Tokinada chuckled as he continued. “Haven’t you had your doubts? Why did the Shiba family get such a cold reception from the Five Great Noble Clans? Officially, the Shiba set up in the Rukongai in order to build their secret fortifications. But even before they were stripped of their noble position, the Shiba were treated like they were lower than the poorest of the lower aristocracy. Doesn’t it bother you that the Shiba family allowed that?”

In CFYOW vol. III, we get this:

It was clearly a problem that a man like this was the head of the Four Great Noble Clans, a position within the Soul Society that was on equal footing with the Central 46.

Okay, so let's bring it all together. There are at least four major bodies in the government of Soul Society:

The Soul King and Royal Family: figurehead; ostensibly head of state and highest authority, but in truth essentially fiction.

The Four Great Noble Houses (formerly Five Great Noble Houses): functionally the executive branch; the Shōichī or First Rank nobility who hold the ranks of Dukes, having sealed the Soul King originally and established the system. Nominally safeguard the system.

Central 46: functionally the judicial branch, a court made up of 6 judges and 40 sages on par with the Four Great Noble Houses, was formerly under their sway when they were the Five Great Noble Houses but has now tilted to the Gilded Seal Aristocratic Assembly and is under their sway. Nominally speak on behalf of the Soul King.

Gilded Seal Aristocratic Assembly: functionally the legislative branch; ostensibly composed of lesser nobles below the rank of Shōichī and by process of elimination now currently actually in charge.

I've been back and forth over this before (see here and here) with some different terminology and framing, but I think it's easy to see that, as I've said before, Soul Society is fundamentally defined by political infighting among different political classes, chiefly the Great Nobles versus the Nobles.

We can understand that Central 46 used to be the tool of the Five Great Noble Houses, but the demotion of House Shiba and its reduction to Four Great Noble Houses was functionally a coup d'état that realigned Central 46 to serving the interests of the comparatively mysterious Gilded Seal Aristocratic Assembly. Tokinada is truly only attempting to cause chaos and anarchy, but doing so under the guise of restoring the Five Great Noble Houses to their former primacy. What Nayura Amakado is doing is effectively trying to make Central 46 independent of either group rather than their cat's paw.

In other words, Soul Society is what happens when separation of powers goes bad and is not regulated by anything except self-interest and violence-making ability:

According to the principle of checks and balances, each of the branches of the state should have the power to limit or check the other two, creating a balance between the three separate powers of the state. Each branch's efforts to prevent either of the other branches becoming supreme form part of an eternal conflict, which leaves the people free from government abuses. Immanuel Kant was an advocate of this, noting that "the problem of setting up a state can be solved even by a nation of devils" so long as they possess an appropriate constitution to pit opposing factions against each other.

You can also take it as a warning about the perils of a judiciary which isn't independent of and separate from political concerns, which, uh, topical.

葉月ゆら - Messiah:Reverse

手のひらの駒鳥（こまどり）　白銀に消えた… （早く、捕まえて）

The small robin I held in my hand vanished into a platinium color

(Hurry up, try and catch me)

色褪せた城の底で　鶫（つぐみ）は歌い　さざめく煌く硝子に眠る　白夜の少女狩られると知らず招かれざる指先　祈りは短く重い「刃の残像」（ざんぞう）が羽に強く触れた空に舞い降りた　君は美しく僕は人間（だれか）を　初めて好きになる夜に魅せられた　剣は震えて闇が包む　心奪うまで　嵐のように

At the bottom of faded castle, a little thrush sings and rustles

Sleeping in the glittering glass is the maiden of the bright night

Unaware that she is being hunted down

Unwelcoming fingers cut short your prayers

The heavy "after image" of a blade pressed your wings intensly

I saw you dance in the sky : you were beautiful

For the first time, I came to love someone

Charmed by the night, my sword trembled

The darkness overcomes me until it steal my heart away, as if it were a storm

「叛逆の救世主（メシア）、堕ちる」予言は叫び　戦慄く朽ち果てた茨越えて小鳥の少女　偽りも知らず赦されない恋と　リボンを結んで淡い唇　牙にゆるく触れた雪に閉ざされた　世界凍りつく僕は人間（だれか）を　初めて守りたい光喪（うしな）って　奇跡は無くとも白く続く…　君を隠すだろう　吹雪のように

"The Rebellious Messiah shall fall"

Thus screamed the crying prophecy

Crossing past the decaying thorns, is the bird like girl

Unaware of deceit

This is an unforgiveable love : I tie a ribbon and touch gently her fangs with my pale lips

Emprisonned by the snow, the world began to freeze

For the first time in my life, I want to protect someone

Even if light were to be lost, that miracles cease to be

This bright whitness continues to be, I will hide you...like the snowstorm of that day

何も言わないで胸を貫いた僕のすべてを　命を捧げても空に舞い降りた　涙美しく僕は必ず　君だけ守るから夜に攫われた　剣は要らない炎包む　僕を奪うまで　いつかのように…

Without saying anything, I ended up piercing your chest

Even though I was ready to sacrifice my everything, even my very life

Dancing in the sky, your tears are beautiful

I would always have protected you and only you

I don't need a sword anymore, it has been taken away by the night

Let the flames engulf me, until they steal me away, as if it were just someday

(From my memories of Yura's comment + Meriole's comment : this song is about Messiah and Draculia, Messiah fell in love with Draculia and accept to protect her so long as she cease to drink humans blood, in her side of the story, it's revelead she doesn't stop so Messiah is forced to kill her, according to Meriole the event of the story aren't chronological in Messiah's song.)

The unexpected side of Gestapo-kun

Wolfram sure is an interesting character. My heart is bleeding for this sonuva bitch I can't help myself, so I'm writing about him again.

Ironically, the greatest insight into his psyche was given by the story of Juwel, the girl who was run over by every first mf in the name of their goals. Wolfram thought from the start that her mother, Cedar, is sus, all thanks to his devilish gift...

...which he received at a devilish price (this is heavily hinted at in the same chapter 6; it's not even implied, he directly attributes his ability to past abuse. However, in return, he lost irreplaceable things, and this created a fatal flaw that led to his defeat... I'd love to write about it when I'll have time).

So, then he smiled as he watched her blow her legend to pieces (he didn't even have to threaten her, unlike in the movie Compliance) because his suspicions were justified.

Wolfboi concluded that they carried valuable information, so he devised a plan that required only the girl to be allowed through (tellingly, they actually carried extremely important info. What's interesting is that he caught Cedar trespassing, but never found out what information she was carrying, so for some reason she didn't spill the beans. Laying hands on Juwel was necessary after all).

御領地の平和のために怪しき者を通すわけには参れません. 強いてもておっしゃるなら世界にいささか評判の当関所の楽しい取調べを改めて受けて頂くことになりますが… // For the sake of peace in this domain, I cannot allow suspicious people to pass through. If you're so keen, you'll have to once again undergo our outpost's somewhat famous enjoyable search...

やれやれ. 面倒な人たちですね. 離れるのがいやならふたりでイタリアに戻りなさい // Good grief. You are really troublesome people. If you don't want to leave her, go back to Italy together.

In all seriousness, he suggested that they both just leave, and in response she simply asked to talk to her daughter. He offered them both a chance to go unscathed, but Cedar decided to play right into his hands, and that was fine with him.

“As you wish, I wash my hands of it.”

Perhaps he was just glad that she confirmed his suspicions, but she had already done that, and with this man that was more than enough.

疑わしきは罰しておく. それが私の信条です. 私が怪しいと思いましたお話を疑う理由はそれで十分 // If in doubt, punish. That's my belief. If I felt suspicious, then that is reason enough to doubt your story.

By the way, Wolfram's kitsune-me are almost always shadowed/covered with hair, so it looks like a big deal for his character. Forehead shadow is used to represent various sorts of negative mental states, so the guy always gave me the impression of being dissatisfied with something. In light of this, it is interesting that in the left frame his eyes are covered with phrases about being ever-so-suspicious.

Judging by his reaction, he was serious about that proposal.

普通の人であればあきらめてイタリア戻るでしょう. もちろん娘さんを連れてね. もちろん娘さんを連れてね. ここまでされてしまってはもうただの旅芸人で済ます訳には参りません // An ordinary person would give up and go back to Italy. With their daughter, of course. If things have gotten this far, you can no longer make the excuse that you're just a traveling entertainer.

He also mentioned this later in a conversation with Grete when he had no reason to lie:

その母親がじつに怪しい人物でしたので通行許可を与えずに追い返してみたんです // The mother was a very suspicious person, so I tried to turn her away without giving her permission to pass.

Those words were spoken when Cedar was already dead, but before that he basically let her off the hook, bruh. Why?! There's no way in hell I would let them go after what I saw, then why would this paranoid guy do it? Especially when ruthlessness was established as his main quality since the cover of the first volume.

In the cover text he was called ein gnadenloser Wächter, a merciless guard:

This is then reinforced in his monologue in the very first chapter:

例外的対応は秩序を乱す元 // Making exceptions is a source of disorder.

His monologue at the end of chapter 5 (right before the Cedar and Juwel chapter) goes to the same piggy bank:

本日も万事ぬかりなく. 重々手厳しく参りましょう // There won't be any slip-ups today as well. Let's be extremely harsh.

And for dessert, we'll have a speech on how important it is to never loosen up:

賊は大軍関所の人員は少数です. 小さな穴がたちまち悲惨な結果を招きます. 賊の侵入は絶対に阻止. 皆さんくれぐれも気を弛めぬように // The bandits have a large army, but the garrison of the outpost is small. A small breach can quickly lead to catastrophic consequences. Absolutely prevent the bandits from invading. Everyone, please do not let your guard down.

Yeah, it was said in a specific situation, but the castle is canonically a metaphor for his mind.

この城はヴォルフラムの性根そのものだ // This castle is Wolfram's very nature.

In psychology, a house has long served as a metaphor for one's self (hence, for example, the House-Tree-Person test). It's thematically fitting that a house as a mirror of the psyche was a favorite idea of the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who built the Bollingen Tower with the idea of reflecting his personality in mind.

If we go about associations evoked by a huge stone defensive structure, mine was: "So, Pink's medieval brother in spirit built his Wall IRL?"

Wolfram didn't reveal why he made the order-disrupting exception, but there was another incident where he went against the cautious course of action. When he spared the lives of two children, it was what led to his downfall (actually, it was one of those things). Well, he did not spare them without taking anything in return...

ガキの頃やられました村を襲った盗賊に. 命を助けてやる代わりなどと賊の頭がほざきましてね // It was done by bandits who attacked our village when we were kids. The bandit chief blabbed that this was payment for sparing our lives or something like that.

それは本当にお気の毒です. まったく. 世の中には随分非道な人間がいるものですねぇ // I'm really sorry to hear that. Honestly. There are some very cruel people in this world, aren't there?

Maybe it's just me, but with the way he smiled, his sarcastic remark about cruel people seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Albert took it as if he didn't remember them, but it sure as hell didn't look like he'd forgotten. Another thing is that after this, Wolfram caught on how this thought offended Albert and trolled him into falling into a trap.

In this regard, it is worth noting that the siblings didn't participate in the kamikaze attack only for the sake of revenge; somewhere in chapter 9 they said that they do this because they want to be useful to someone. Not even, for example, to those who helped them, but just to someone. The thing is that it was never revealed how exactly they became free warriors (as far as I remember).

俺たちはそれぞれ片眼を潰されて放り出された. 人買いに売られてこんなところまで流されて来た // We each had one eye gouged out and we were abandoned. We were sold to slave traders and ended up here.

It is not entirely clear whether Wolfram was the one who sold them. Who abandoned them then? The word Albert uses, houridasu, has "to leave something" among its main meanings (screenshot taken from Weblio). It seems they were left alone and other kind people made them slaves.

Albert and Barbara thought that Wolfram had forgotten them the moment he left them, but he was more likely to be interested in them in his own twisted way, with the special way in which he damaged them.

ではもうおひとり. せっかくおふたりなんですから次は反対側の眼に致しましょう // Well, now one more. Since there are two of you, now let's take care of the eye on the opposite side.

This bastard really gets off on acting out his ugliest feelings. Wolfram's canonical eye color is unknown, but in this scene he definitely was green-eyed: "Oh, you're so fortunate to have each other? Then from now on you will ALWAYS be together! Muhahahahahaaa!!!"

This guy can relate:

In any case, the idea was obviously to highlight their connection. It sure worked on Barbara:

行くよ兄貴と. 兄貴は右眼あたしは左眼. ふたりそろって一人前だからね // I'll go with my brother. Brother is the right eye and I am the left eye. That's why together we are complete.

If he just wanted to mutilate them, he could've simply taken a firebrand from one of the burning houses annnnnd... It's kinda morbidly funny that in the chapters that tell their story, there was this handsome boy who wanted revenge for his wolf's mouth cleft palate that caused his fiancée to leave him (what a bitch!). Now in his case, he wouldn’t have gotten off with an eyepatch; only a muzzle (or a bag over the head) could have helped.

So, the moral is: you should never leave anyone alive the crimes you commit will come back to haunt you.

That's all for today! :P
