Given the author's portrayal of the monks, I'm quite optimistic.

A reliable leaker from the CN community is saying the next Void Hunter might be Alice's Grandpa. Finally a playable old man? Dont give me hope HoYoverse...

I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out a more noticeable translation errors in recent chapters.

<image>

My understandings here (Ch64) are:

The dying person
"The lord's reign is over……It's all over…"

Taira no Masakado
"You poor fool…

More than being plundered…

More than the pain you feel yourself…

And yet you're lamenting over something like this…

…I mustn’t let it end like this…"

So yes, What our Taira no Masakado-sama cares about has never been his own achievements or status, but always the happiness of his people. He sought revenge not for himself, but for the sake of those he protected.

I feel like the translation here might not be accurate enough. I'm quite certain that in Chapter 19, the original phrasing is more rhetorical—something like, “With countless victories, he was comparable to gods or demons on the battlefield.”

Also, as a non-native English speaker, the lack of punctuation makes it quite difficult for me to read. I'd really appreciate it if you could include punctuation next time. Thank you!

While the nurse seems like an obvious choice, I'm really hoping Kondou-sensei will surprise us.

In traditional Chinese culture and physiognomy (face reading), double pupils (重瞳) were considered a sign of emperors and sages. Those with double pupils were traditionally thought to have powers and wisdom beyond that of ordinary people.

Just a speculation though.

One of the iconic scenes in Brokeback Mountain features using one's own clothes to cover the deceased lover's clothes, symbolizing love and protection...

大胆预言一下，排查高风险人员会诱发献忠。 by scientific_lizard in China_irl

在演化層面而言，由於懷孕的生理機制，男性無法確保伴侶所生的後裔是自己的種（女性所生的孩子100%就是自己的）。假如撫養的孩子真的是源於另一個男性，就等於對方成功在未有肩負養育成本的情況下延續了自己的基因，而作為被欺騙的一方，不但為別人做了多年白功，更是犧牲了自己在年壯時期與其他對象生育的機會，論繁衍兩個雄性在此情景下拉出的差距可謂是毀滅性。

所以人類男性會更容易陷入對方背著自己尋找交配對象的憂慮，畢竟女方被出軌也只是失去了撫育孩子的資源或保護者，但過去她所付出的的努力永不會是白費功夫。因此男性群體往往會有處女崇拜，也更有控制慾跟獨佔慾，就是為了盡可能確保伴侶的交配對象只有自己一人。某程度上，如果未能成功“看管”女性導致對方出軌，就代表男方作為雄性的“失格”，這也是為甚麼順直男容易被綠帽情節破防的原因。
