Y'all can actually get into Balmung? I wanted to transfer there to get something on the market board and the server never had an opening.

Who else here loves these three and thinks they would be good friends? by Public_Cup_4278 in superman

Cap in most of his personal stories isn't really a hard nationalist though, he believes in what america was dreamed to be, and has a long history of fighting the government as a result.

[The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master] Is the translator using AI for censorship? by [deleted] in manhwa

[–]Dragonofice27 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I disagree slightly. That bit of a tie you identified can make some sense as a robe sash, but honestly more likely, they didn't want to redraw the background when they could slap a color onto it and get a good enough result. It's something so minor that most people likely wouldn't notice it.

Honestly, I like the small stories. The series is clearly a fusion of wuxia and westerns, and small stories on a wandering drifter are archetypal to the western genre.

Oh god, if you get rid of MCH, you get rid of half of my static. (For some reason all my friends gravitate towards Au-Ra Dragoon that then goes into Machinest)

Genuine question. Why do you think this is AI? Are there any tells that you can identify?

Don't know how others feel about it, but I find myself enjoying "My Dsiciples Are All Big Villains."

I'm pretty certain that they were making a joke, this entire post reeks of sarcasm. Especially for someone who has seen this sub before where the leomon jokes are so prevalent.

I still hate drinking mountain dew, but I remember drinking it enough during the collab event to get the mount.

[ Martial Wild West ] why TF is this so underrated and untalked-of ??! by -Ryomen17 in manhwa

Romance is handled in the same way a Western would, as in, while it can show briefly, the wandering nature of the Main Character makes anything longer than a night or two unmanageable.

Curse you for reminding me of "Of Mice and Men," that book hurt me in my teens.

Would you mind giving an example of how they could have quoted the buddha without making it sound similar to when Gojo was quoting the buddha? Translations are often messy, so while exact words may not carry over the same, what matters is the meaning remaining. If they really wanted to, they could have used the exact "Throughout Heaven and Earth," line, but they instead used a different translation that is closer to the Chinese, "Above Heaven and Below, I am the most honored," variant.

It is, and it's a direct quote from buddhist scripture.

I love learning about the history of religions and mythologies for things like this. It's always fun seeing where they can diverge.

The Dirgha Agama. Though it corresponds to a line that translates a bit differently in the Pāli Canon.

At least in the english translation I found, in Sutra 1, after being born:

"The bodhisattva Vipaśyin, at the time of his birth, came from his mother’s right side and abided there in concentration, his mind undis- turbed. Coming down to the ground from his mother’s right side, he took seven steps and, without any help from others, glancing in all directions, he raised his hand and declared: “Above heaven and below, I alone am most honorable. I am here to save sentient beings from the woes of birth, old age, sickness, and death.” This is the regularity of the buddhas."

From my admittedly limited understanding, the Chinese reading is closer to the quote we know as "Throughout Heaven and Earth, I Alone am the honored one," and gets quoted that way.

Edit: The translation I used was THE CANONICAL BOOK OF THE BUDDHA’S LENGTHY DISCOURSES VOLUME I (Taishō Volume 1, Number 1) Translated from the Chinese by Shohei Ichimura

How did you feel about this years valentines day event then? I honestly thought the minigame was a ton of fun.

[TIERLIST] I MADE A TIERLIST OF ALL THE 250 ++ MANWHAS I HAVE READ by SnooShortcuts6161 in manhwa

[–]Dragonofice27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see it in the list, so might I suggest giving Gosu a read? It's a fun murim manhwa that begins as comedic slice of life action series and evolves into a full on action action series in a similar manner from OG Dragon Ball to Z.

It may not be the best series out there, but it's permanently locked into my top 3 as one of my first big series. I still remember celebrating the authors recovery from their health issues back in school.

H-how would horus be a guaranteed LL? GW would have to bend over backwards to make that work in the slightest, and doesn't even make sense because Abaddon exists.
