In chapter 1133, when Robin says she wants to hear praise for how she lived / How she survived, etc (top middle panel, page 15) - I've seen multiple translations of this panel. How does it translate from Japanese?

yeah! the line is 生きたこと…褒めてほしい/ikita koto... homete hoshii!

生きたこと/ikita koto is a conjugation of the verb 'to live' (生きる/ikiru) that puts it in the past tense and turns it into a noun phrase- so like 'my survival' or 'the fact that i lived.'

褒める/homeru does mean 'to praise,' and 〜てほしい/~te hoshii is a way to say you want someone else to do something (since, like i've mentioned before, the ~tai form is only for saying what you want to do). so 褒めてほしい/homete hoshii (which is also the part of the phrase that's the chapter title) is 'i want you to praise me', and the whole sentence comes out like 'i want you to praise me for the fact that i lived'!

it really did make me cry, reading this chapter. when we first met robin she wanted to die. now she not only has a life she loves, but she can recognize her survival as the triumph worthy of celebration that it is.

speaking of loki's declaration at the end of chapter 1130, i've been thinking about similarities between elbaf and fishman island recently. fishman island is going to be destroyed by a man in a straw hat and on elbaf they have stories of the sun god destroying the world... sun tree eve is on fishman island and treasure tree adam is on elbaf... it just feels like there's something there
