桜魔大戦譚 (ōma taisen tan) - story and character basics

VΔLZ fandom, hello! So far I have not seen any English translations of the story chapters that VΔLZ is releasing little by little on YouTube. This post is to establish some background info.

----- Explanation of the title -----

大戦譚 (taisen tan) sounds poetic and grand, and I favor translating it as "Great War Chronicles."  

     大 = big/great/important      戦 = war/battle/combat      譚 = tales/lore/legends/etc., a classier word for 'story'

Therefore, my translation of the title is:  "Ouma Great War Chronicles"

Side note: I've seen the name of VΔLZ's home nation translated as both Ouma Empire and Ouma Kingdom. These are both accurate; however, I'd like to add that the word 皇国 (kōkoku) literally means 'emperor nation' and implies a government structure with an emperor or similar royalty at the top.

----- Story setting, directly translated from the opening narration in episode 1. -----

In the place called the Ouma Empire, there exist People, Gods, and Demons. 

"People," referring to humankind; "Gods," referring to the beings who, gaining power through people's faith, bring benefit to people; and "Demons," referring to the beings who cause harm to people.

Such was the Ouma Empire, which at a certain time, was struck with natural disasters and epidemics, famines and so on, an array of catastrophes.

In the rebuilding of the nation, the era was renamed "Shinwa." Borrowing power from Gods, People exorcised Demons and the nation was resurrected.

Suppose, when Demons should appear, and nothing can be done with the People's power alone; The People pray and make offerings to the Gods, seeking peace.

In answer, the Gods grant them wisdom and talismans and such. Thus, under the protection of the Gods, People exorcise Demons, and the nation shall be maintained.

In this way, the Ouma Empire's People, Gods, and Demons came to coexist in balance and comprise the nation.

And so, the fifth year of the Shinwa Era – The present

T/N:  神和 (shinwa) breaks down into:       神 - god/heavenly/divine/etc.      和 - peace/calm/harmony

----- Character descriptions from their official website for this project: valz-official.com/story -----

Kaida Haru - "A researcher at an institution of the Ouma Empire who studies Demons. He takes pride in his brilliant analytical skills and knowledge, however, has a calm and somewhat airheaded personality." Vertical text: "Great innovations come with risks, that's a given."

Nagao Kei - "An exorcist at an institution of the Ouma Empire. Not only is he a master in swordsmanship and martial arts, but also in magic and sealing spells. He commands a large number of excellent subordinates." Vertical text: "The wicked will perish by my hand. Both demons and humans alike!"

Genzuki Tōjirō - "A government official of the Ouma Empire. He may converse and negotiate with the Gods. Soft-spoken, he excels in preventing conflict with his crisis management skills." Vertical text: "Again with the Gods' selfish requests... Can't be helped, leave this to me."

=====

The story does not represent the history prior to their debut as streamers and will have no relation to their current activities as streamers. Please consider it a parallel world where they stayed in their old jobs in the Ouma Empire.

The split between the VΔLZ members and the characters they voice is further denoted by the character names. They are using the same surnames, but their given names have been changed to hiragana.

(This is summarized from Kaida's free-chat stream on 3/12/24, starting at 24:36)

I may come back to edit/update this post if I catch minor inaccuracies.

This definitely isn’t one of many memes in drafts I got lazy to tag… hahah nope not at all…

[fwacchi]

hey eve!! i'd like to make a request if its alright,,

something like "studying for exams tgt" w kenmochi, nagao, kuzuha and mugi? for the genre, probably fluff..

thank you so much!! actually i have exams very soon so maybe i'm requesting this so i can read it while studying LMAOOOOO

hii! goodluck with your exams and i hope you like this! <3

STUDYING FOR A TEST WITH THEM

genre: fluff

pairings: Kenmochi Tōya, Nagao Kei, Kuzuha, Ienaga Mugi x gn!reader

Kenmochi Touya

We all know Kenmochi is a very smart guy.

So when he proposes to study together for the upcoming test, you couldn’t bring yourself to turn down his offer.

But since he is good in every subject, your study session was just him teaching you your weak subjects/topics.

When you felt bad about it, he assured you that teaching you is also a good revision for him.

He is very, very patient with you when going over a subject/topic you’re having a hard time with.

Even if you don’t understand after he explains it to you, he won’t run out of patience nor get mad, instead, he would explain it all over again, but in a more simpler way to make you understand.

He will call you “dumb”, but it’s only ever in a playful manner that means no harm.

Nagao Kei

Like Kenmochi, a study session with him consists of him teaching you.

But studying with Nagao is also fun as he would prepare little treats to give you when you get a question correct.

Nagao is also very patient with you. He won’t insult you and won’t rush you when studying.

If there’s something you just can’t seem to grasp, he will try and explain it to you in a more fun way so that it’d be easier for you to remember.

He would also write down short notes on top of the questions you’re struggling with.

He’ll ask you to teach him English. He’s already good at it, but feels the need to get better at it.

Nagao would never let you stress over the exams and would constantly remind you to take a break.

Kuzuha

I’m sorry but are you really going to depend on this man?

He would play around more than actually studying, but hey, can you blame him? The game on his phone is definitely much more interesting than the piles of books in front of him.

When you confiscate his phone, he will genuinely pay attention to studying.

Lots of break time.

You could have studied for 15 minutes and he would propose a 30 minute break.

Kuzuha would also get distracted very easily.

One moment he’s deeply absorbed into the subject he’s going through and the next moment he’s doodling down on your book.

It sure is fun to study with him as it doesn’t seem stressful at all.

Ienaga Mugi

Studying with her is definitely relaxing.

She’ll teach you the subjects you’re weak in and vice versa.

Mugi is the type to make jokes here and there and would also gossip about things going on in school or her life.

It’s her way of making sure the mood is kept light and that the both of you won’t stress over the subject at hand.

Prefers to play some music while studying, but if you don’t like it, then she’ll either turn it off or put on headphones.

Randomly talks in English when going through that subject.

I have some vacation time! So here is... a fan comic about Kaida being supported by his best friends.
