It's panels like these that really get me wondering as to whether Sagisawa's first language is English... it would make sense since this is a crucial moment with no time to spare so if he defaults back to his first language it tracks. it's hard to notice that he's ACTUALLY speaking English when reading the English translation because... it's all English for us... even Fiona and Fox's horizontal text as compared to the bird club's vertical text is lost in translation...

#just thinking thoughts...#birdmen #sagisawa rei #it's so fascinating to see everyone's take on translating it #the original had it in katakana but it did say like. sutoopu reedo sutoopu <- I don't know how to romanize properly #There's the unofficial chinese one up there #the official chinese one ALSO opted to write out STOP in English #(makes sense. you can't write it based off of how stop sounds clearly in chinese characters so just write it in English.)#but keeps 'red' in chinese #also I'm OBSESSED with the fucking. YAHOO #the english translation has it as 'hey there' but I think this is way funnier #he shoulda said 'yippee!! good work!!' I think that would have been funny
