Super Smartphone 9: I almost forgot, but I had to make the "T" here make sense. He gives Moura the name "T" bc of 手下 (teshita/lackey) but since I didn't want to change "T" to "L" for obvious notebook manga-related reasons among others, I went with "toady" bc synonyms are fun.

Similarly, when Ruin showed up, I called him NiN lol. 同じくルインの初登場時の名前表記も「NiN(ナイン・インチ・ネイルズ)」と書いちゃった記憶がｗ

The Kappa is said to have mind control powers that radiate from the plate on its head. Kumamoto and Oita are two places in Japan with a lot of kappa lore. In Yatsushiro (a city in Kumamoto) they say that was where the kappa first arrived from the sea and into the Kuma River.

The original is "she would change into new slouch socks in the foyer/entryway" (where you'd remove your shoes.) Since that's a harder concept to grasp for non-Japanese, it was modified so that the girl is a "slouch" like her "socks."

@JumpKodie @salinsley the japanese sfx by comparison is a lot easier to comprehend.

and yeah the manga version was cool as hell, ESPECIALLY the Silent Sword LV. 7's attack..

negotiation process when i'm offered new work:

Mizuo's first name is 海月/Kurage (jellyfish.) My guess is the RN was made to be a potato with eels coming out of it (to resemble a jellyfish.)

Mfw I get the charlie horse from hell

Lastly, there's the key piece of evidence in this chapter, the receipt Tagame forged. This was kind of agonizing because while ナイフ and サイフ are one -line- apart. English doesn't work like that. In the end, I went with "pocketbook" and "pocket blade." (9/12)
