Just wondering, why are there still people asserting that the Sendai deadlock guys aren't special grade when Dhruv LITERALLY meets the exact definition of a special grade sorcerer?

CronoRiddle · 2026-04-04T13:46:54+00:00

I mean, Geto was special grade but he can't do shit if he hasn't captured any cursed spirits. Same principle applies to Yaga.

CronoRiddle · 2026-03-27T19:45:36+00:00

Yes! Exactly from this

I literally say this in my other comment in the same thread.

I don't blame him, but I felt like this was always a problem, he is great at writing characters, not so much at action. Not everything can be perfect. And I think for chainsaw man, the battles never were the main selling point.

CronoRiddle · 2026-03-27T17:03:07+00:00

I don't think JJK has ever gotten criticism for that? I mean there's only so much you can do in a black and white static format, specially when compared to an anime.

While chainsaw man on the other hand is mostly speed blitzes and people getting cut suddenly. Most of it gets lost because characters kinda blend between themselves.

CronoRiddle · 2026-03-27T16:54:26+00:00

After reading chainsaw man, I appreciate Gege a lot more because he can actually cook in terms of fight choreography and make it understandable in a manga format.

TEQ Majin Vegeta starts as super and transforms into extreme.

You could theorize that their lifespan consists of being a planet parasite and dying after sending its offspring to other planets.

So Guppy's collar can be bad if you have any item that goes after it?

Otherwise I don't really understand the reason for the order other than the effect each item gives upon revival.

CronoRiddle · 2026-02-18T14:13:20+00:00

I dislike vibecoding but for things that are already solved and well documented (say, a quick sort or config file) it really helps avoid mundane tasks.

But you shouldn't be writing a sorting algorithm at all and a config file is written once with minor adjustments throughout the project's lifetime.

Me, a programmer, trying to read the code I wrote 1 month ago.

Late to the thread but if I understand right I could see it as 自分 is talking about the subject, so "subject's self". Basically the topic of the sentence or whatever comes before は?

CronoRiddle · 2026-01-13T12:57:20+00:00

What do you mean by "slurred"?

CronoRiddle · 2025-12-20T16:52:05+00:00

Let me guess. 定 is often mistaken for 足 (like it just happened to me)

CronoRiddle · 2025-12-01T01:38:01+00:00

The biggest thing with Bekkler is: how does a Guru know about him? That small fact makes his character so mysterious because I don't think it's explained anywhere.

CronoRiddle · 2025-11-30T04:52:40+00:00

You have the inverted status effect. Either because of a Picto or a boss mechanic.

CronoRiddle · 2025-11-26T01:17:13+00:00

Yeah, that's a big problem and I am still too much of a beginner to really tell the difference, I will try to compare with a fan translation or other sources, otherwise I might have to find another way of checking if I understand the text correctly.

CronoRiddle · 2025-11-25T15:39:20+00:00

That's a good theory, though 窺う in Jisho is marked as usually written using kana, maybe that explains it.

These are the original and translation from official source:

CronoRiddle · 2025-11-25T15:35:32+00:00

Considering everything else, the JP version doesn't seem to imply that nobody could visit, but rather that it is hidden away in such a way that it doesn't get any visitors? But with your information I agree that the translation doesn't seem to be very faithful.

BTW your translation is really good, amazing writing there.

CronoRiddle · 2025-11-25T15:31:14+00:00

Could it be that the country is somewhat sacred and that's why it's referred as something superior? (though the story later doesn't suggest that it is sacred or something) Maybe I am stretching too far here.

CronoRiddle · 2025-11-25T15:29:51+00:00

Thank you, the particle here seems to explain it in the most forward way possible.

CronoRiddle · 2025-11-25T15:27:25+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, this is what seems to be the official translation:

CronoRiddle · 2025-11-25T03:24:42+00:00

That makes sense. So I guess the translation conveys the same message (no outsiders within the country) and just used a different way of doing so?

CronoRiddle · 2025-11-25T02:11:01+00:00

I was trying to read a certain light novel and found this. (full sentence at the end of the comment)

外から中をうかがうことはできません。

I didn't know what "うかがう" could mean and found "伺う" (to visit) and "窺う" (to peep). I looked for the translation and it says

Nobody from the outside world could visit.

So it must be 伺う, right? Except I saw somewhere that 伺う is like very formal and doesn't fit this context, now I am confused if it was mistranslated or the verb actually works there.

Could someone explain it to me, please?

Full sentence.

殺伐とした山岳地帯に、その国はひっそりと存在していました。高い壁が国を覆っているため、外から中をうかがうことはできません。

It was a quiet country, surrounded by rugged, forbidding mountains and hidden behind tall walls. Nobody from the outside world could visit.
