These were real slogans by the Imperial Rule Assistance Association. The first was directed toward the combined population of Japan, Taiwan, and Korea (under Japanese rule,) which equaled to 70 mil people. The other was telling them to bear the squalor till the war was won. (4/6)

Which came in handy, bc Fuuko says it won't interrupt her friend's 青春 (seishun/youth.) Colour takes the 青 (ao) from there and says it'll make his "youth" run red. In order to invoke similar romanticized/optimistic vibes, I opted for "blue skies of youth." 2/2
Undead Unluck Ch 174: Totally forgot about this part. What Latla is doing here is very similar to the custom for eating 恵方巻 (ehomaki/lucky direction roll.) Lucky directions are dictated by 歳徳神 (Goddess of Lucky Directions) Toshitokujin's position. (1/2)
#2【Andy】The deuteragonist of Undead Unluck. Fuuko gives him his name in ch 1. His name is derived from Andeddo (Undead.) Fuuko's dialogue from ch 1, pg 54, panel 1 was conveniently around to provide context in EN since I figured "Andy" was a better fit in English than "Undy."
#3【Shen Xiang】The martial arts master and user of Untruth. The name "shen" was always assumed to be from 真 (true) but his full name seems to be derived from 真相 (zhēnxiàng) or "truth." ("Seems" bc with romanization from Japanese of Chinese, your results may vary.)
#4【Void Volks】The heavyweight boxing champion and user of Unavoidable. "Void" is from "Unavoidable," but "Volks" is rendered ボルクス(borukusu) which is a character away from ボックス(bokkusu/box) referencing his boxing background.
#6 【Juiz】The Negator of Unjustice. Her name relates to the word "Justice," but "Juiz" also means "judge" in Portuguese. I went with that spelling because that had the strongest connotations to "justice" among any other choices. (Except perhaps "Juice," lol.)
#8【Chikara Shigeno】The Negator of Unmove. His name is one of the more interesting ones. While "chikara" means "force" (force has connotations with movement,) Chikara's full name in JP order is "Shigeno Chikara" and you take out the "no," you get the radicals for "dou" (motion.)
