Hidan no Aria [Light Novel]

[Cosmic Eagle]

This thread is for the sole purpose of discussing the light novel series Hidan no Aria. Seeing that the main thread is now devoted to the anime, I thought it would be appropriate to seperate novel discussion out from that thread.

So, I'm reading volume three...

He's pinned down by Riko... Finds out his brother might still be alive and starts calling him his idol wnd talks about how he can't make a sound judgment when it comes to his brother. Does Kinji have a brother complex or something? If he's hot for his brother it would explain why he's so oblivious to girl's feelings.

Yes, his brother basically became his center of life after his mother died. And also err...how to put it...his brother crossdresses VERY well :heh:

Ok, I think I'm nauseous now. His brother's a trap and Kinji's world basically revolves around him. I fear what this will become. :uhoh:

His brother's way of activating Hysteria mode is to crossdress, that's his way of activating it manually. Kinji grew up in a family that was basically allies of justice and his brother was the best of the best so of course he idolizes his brother.

[Cosmic Eagle]

err no....at vol 4 they are grown quite distant. He certainly doesn't have the same idol complex from before...

He also never showed any romantic interest towards his brother. Not even before. Is more like the jaded veteran clashing with the rookie...

[mechdra]

Kana apparently is the strongest in the bloodline and in Butei Gigh itself. I am just curious, who are the girls on the cover of volume 8 and 9.

[Exether]

At the begining I wasn't interested in the story at all but after seeing his "Hysteria mode" :heh:

Becoming a complete different being when aroused :uhoh:... Sounds like something out of a hentai story, but it ended up becoming a really interesting thing...

could someone be kind enough to provide some more background on the light novels... Apart from his brother and his interesting antics :rolleyes:

[doomknight]

i wonder if crossdress makes a guy grow boobs because i just saw a pic of volume 9 of Kana in swimsuit and.... i cant believe it i saw boobs :twitch:

[Nera Sleith]

Kana apparently is the strongest in the bloodline and in Butei Gigh itself. I am just curious, who are the girls on the cover of volume 8 and 9.

Volume 8's cover is Elle Watson (エル・ワトソン). Yes, her first appearance is in that volume.

Volume 9's cover is Aria, right? But if you're referring to the blond red-eyed girl in the first pages illustration of the volume, I'm not sure.
I think it might be Hilda.

The major thing that the novel offers which the manga have not reached yet (I mean scanlated) and obviously haven't shown in the first episode is the bloodline of the characters. Each characters are descended from different famous people. It'll not only be revealed until they get to the climax of the Butei Killer arc. What makes it interesting as well is they applied the histories of the said famous people and applied it to the plot. As the story progresses, more characters descended from a different famous figure pop up every volume, complicating the plot.

It's Hilda.

Let's see important stuff you should know....vol 6 is awsm because it's Reki and sniper porn. That's all.

Oh and about his brother? He's kind of....a dick yeah. Not some happy otaku like Riko contrary to expectations. I swear vol 4 was the only time I ever felt like punching one of the characters in the story, namely Kana...

And supernatural powers form a central element of the story. Example, Jeanne d'Arc's 30th descendant appears later wielding the Durandal blade.

Meh, I should read ahead.

It's sad that, as a translator I know squat about what you guys are talking about.

Anyways, how do you guys find the translations?
I beat myself to death evernight worrying about their fluency XD

It's good. When I read the originals, then I compare them to the translated versions, I have no issue with the translations.

That's actually good reading the novel as you translate.
The awesomeness that you felt from the novel after reading it should push you in translating it more. :D And it's good while it lasts.
I'm not sure how to translate "感動" in English accurately, but you get that 感動 after reading the novel, you have this urge to have the other people feel the same 感動 you have felt from the novel. At least that's what I felt, and one reason I started translating v3.

About your translation, it's good. In behalf of all HnA fan, I thank you and am really grateful that you took this as a pet project and still sticking to it.
You translate 10x faster, and the quality I should admit is better than mine.

Let's see important stuff you should know....vol 6 is awsm because it's Reki and sniper porn. That's all.
Reki's real badass.
The tricks that she had shown in the earlier volumes are merely easy stuff compared to what she did in the first chapter of v6.

I'm quite happy with them and you have been going at such a good pace that I have to check the page twice a day to make sure I haven't missed any updates. Keep up the good work :D

Yeah.....shoot all buttons off your clothes at 2km from an unknown point in a city....

Plus Haimaki and yar...I'm going to join Reki's worshippers.

感動?

moved? That's not it....let's just say, that warm fuzzy feel and the attachment to the characters in the story. Really, it's the characters that drive this series unlike say Index where plot drives it.

[Icy.Tear]

Thanks a lot guys, that was touching.

And 感動 means something like 'moving' or 'touching'.

It may have been a pet project then, but now I'm dedicating a lot more time to it. ;D

And really, 'twas volume 3 that really made me pick it up, so all kudos go to you.



Also, thanks for all the other comments. If you compare the originals and my translations there should be a few little things that are different, but I do that to make it actually sound like English.

The best part of translating is when you're translating an emotional scene and you're able to weave the words so they don't lose any of their impact. It should be just as epic and awesome when you're reading it in English as in Japanese.

That said, I hope I'm able to do that? I think I did an OK job.

As long as you retain the meaning, I think that's most important. If you have to be literal then do so by all means. Because all those emotional scenes, is best described like painting a picture not long text.

Vol 3 really made me pick up something all right....it really made me pick up Riko.

[Icy.Tear]

really, it's the characters that drive this series.

とハヤテのごとくで同じでしょう？

Well, I might add that I really do feel the fuzzy feeling of 感動 when I'm translating something emotional.
And then I'm all like...

こんな気持ちは…何だ？

Something like that. xD
I can't really explain it well with words. The meaning is close to being "touched" or "moved" yet different.
And the easiest way to make others understand it is to have them feel the same 感動 you experienced.

It's kinda like being "moe-d", where it's hard to explain it. (lol, sorry for using this as an example)
It's similar to being "turned-on", yet it's still not quite right.

いわゆる、表現しがたい感情によるものなのです。
あえて、他の方に同じ感動を体験させるの方が説明しやすいだと思います。

Good point. At any rate, I agreed with you and said that Japanese is a very specific language.
Also, I realized that I had gotten better at Japanese after reading HnA.

And I was proud.

That about sums it up.


Well anyways, I haven't even started Baka to Test and I don't think I'll be working on it for a while, since like lare said, I want to steamroll HnA while anime is airing.

There's a lot more views already Oo

[kuroishinigami]

Ummm, don't want to spoil the fun, but I think the forum rules state that's we're supposed to use English here. Well, I guess your posts will just get deleted if found by the moderator, but I think it's a good idea to just erase it before being found? Or maybe edit it to add some English word so it's not all in Japanese XD.

I think your argument done in the HnA anime thread had a fruitful effect.
Now, people are checking out the light novels.
v1c2 has 11K views already.

No hurry. Just d it when you feel like it, just like me :heh: Although, the faster we're finished with Baka to test, the faster I will start helping with HnA, if you haven't finished them all by then that is :heh:

How about you also help us on baka to test while working on HnA, Nera? :D

I wish I could, but I only have free time during Sat and Sun. :(
And those 2 days I dedicate myself in reading LNs.
Otherwise, I would go insane if I don't get my light novel fix. xD

[kuroishinigami]

lol. I kinda understand that. I have to get my LN fix every night to lessen my stress XD. That or game lol.

[Cosmic Eagle]

You know come to think of it....Shirayuki should just dual wield an M60 and her katana....

Then she really would be a war god.

Also, has there been a pic of Ranbyou and the other Masters? I get the feeling that they could rip Kinji and co up with ease or take on EU and do some serious damage at the very least.

[tsunade666]

The only Master I saw is the one in Lezzard. The one who smokes.

i wonder if crossdress makes a guy grow boobs because i just saw a pic of volume 9 of Kana in swimsuit and.... i cant believe it i saw boobs :twitch:

That's not Kana. That's the same girl in vol 6. I think it's from connect or something. Not sure. She's the clumsy type girl.

[Nera Sleith]

You know come to think of it....Shirayuki should just dual wield an M60 and her katana....

Only if the law would allow it. Unfortunately, M60 is an illegal weapon in Butei.

That's not Kana. That's the same girl in vol 6. I think it's from connect or something. Not sure. She's the clumsy type girl.
Ah, that's Misaki then. That girl is as weird as the other Butei students.

[Anh_Minh]

I'm currently getting through vol2, and I want to take back every nice thing I've ever said or thought about Kinji. What a friggin inconsiderate moron.

[Cosmic Eagle]

There's a picture of Ranbyou, yes.

What vol is it?

[Icy.Tear]

Just kidding, not Ranbyou, Tsuduri. My bad for getting your hopes up ^^

これはいいじゃないかもしれないよ。。。

Really...to get a viewer boost like that ^^;

[tsunade666]

Is Tsuduri lezzard or Dagula? I'm confused on what section are for interrogating.

I'm currently getting through vol2, and I want to take back every nice thing I've ever said or thought about Kinji. What a friggin inconsiderate moron.

Vol 2? right that volume. I really hate Kinji on that volume. Makes me want to kick his bal*s ____________________________

[Nera Sleith]

She's Dagula yes?

According to the v3 novel illustrations, yes, she's Dagula.
Dagula is the one responsible for interrogation.

Lezzad's instructor is Chan Wu.
It's not a name that you encounter in the novel much.
Masters don't get much love in the novel for some reason. xD
So far the names that I remembered already mentioned in the novels are, Tsuduri (Dagula), Ranbyou (Assault), Sayanaki (Ambulace) and Nangou (Snipe, I remember her in v7 when Kinji called her about Reki)

Must be the scariest of them all then....I don't want to see what Inquisition style methods they use in there....

Technically Sayanaki is Vlad though so I doubt if he counts as one of them....

[tsunade666]

Masters... well they are monsters. That's the closest thing I can imagine.

[cyberdemon]

Extremely well.

そうだ.アニメの放送あとで、いっぱいの人ライトノベルを探しました

Tusuduri is described as -

"The fact that Tsurudi was able to forget such a simple word is extremely worrying, but don't let her simple looks deceive you. In one way, she's one of the elite Butei.

And that 'way' is, interrogation.

In this art, she's one of the best 5 in Japan.

I'm not sure how she does it, but no matter how firm the offender, after Tsuduri's interrogation, they won't stay normal, and it seems they start referring to her as Queen or Goddess. "

-After all.

Not sure how combat oriented Tsuduri actually is, but she's definitely very quick.

Ranbyou on the other hand is feared throughout Hong Kong XD

[tsunade666]

well Ranbyou looks like Rambo turn into girl. Shirayuki should learn a thing or two from the Assaults teacher.

でもさ、あのオリジナル トピックの大戦を見て。。。＾＾；

That officially means you don't want to be in a confined space with Tsuzuri...

well Ranbyou looks like Rambo turn into girl. Shirayuki should learn a thing or two from the Assaults teacher

Hell I get the feeling "Ranbyou" is a play on "Rambo"

それも、当然

Well, the Byou in Ranbyou is a play on leopard, so I don't know about Rambo.

But now that I think about it, there was a rambo reference when Shirayuki pulled out the M60.

How do I romanize オルクス? I think it's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orcus. What do you think?
Nevermind, I confirmed it as Orcus by using my best friend Google.

Now that I've cooled down a bit, though, I'll say this for him: at least he's an ass to both girls.

[endarion88]

finally the LN thread i was tired of the anime thread where ppl only complain about the quality and logic.
Btw i wanted to know if the people translating this on B-T are registered here since i wanted to thank them for their work

(sorry for bad english)

[tsunade666]

hikari and nera are the ones who's translating but for now hikari is the one translating. nera is busy in real life.

[Icy.Tear]

That would be Nera Sleith.

[azziz]

Now that I've cooled down a bit, though, I'll say this for him: at least he's an ass to both girls.

perhaps,but when you see him doing "edge catching"(parring a sword bare-handed)with just two finger-and no any sword but the legendary durendal,no less!-you understand why shirayuki call him "kin-chan-sama".
kinji is no the usual harem lead who began weak-train a few week=become strong but instead(thank to that genial idea:hysteria mode) can be both lame,average or exceptional and heroic the same day-and will remain so all the while.
Wich is what make him awesome to me

[endarion88]

well anyway thank you for translating it, also there is someone who could answer a question about vol 6?

[Icy.Tear]

That would be Nera Sleith

[doomknight]

The only Master I saw is the one in Lezzard. The one who smokes.



That's not Kana. That's the same girl in vol 6. I think it's from connect or something. Not sure. She's the clumsy type girl.

Your right, i confused them because she look kind of alike or maybe my eyes are so screwed :heh: .

Anyways thanks you Hikari and Nera for taking time in translating ^^ !

[tsunade666]

Kinji was trained since he was small or rather his brother is teaching him some tricks since he was a kid. And given the chance he enroll into Butei school to follow his brother. He learns lots of stuff in assault and inquestia which he uses most of the time though.... well Hysteria Mode is just way different. From normal into super human mode.

[Icy.Tear]

To borrow Shirayuki's analogy...

If normal people were cannons, Kinji would be a satellite laser with limited ammo.

Well, I'm done with translating for today. About halfway in. At a major cliffhanger ;D

So don't read it unless...you like major cliffhangers.

I have the urge to beat myself on the head because of the number of Shirayuki's kidoujutsu. Those names are not meant to be translated. They're 'just there to sound cool and have a vague meaning in Japanese.

[endarion88]

hey did you always stop translating at cliffhanger on pupose or is a coincidence?

(sorry for bad english)

[KilluaX90]

First of all, I want to thank both translators, Nera Sleith and Yoake No Hikari for translating this great LN (it was stalled for quite a while...)

And to the person above: I don't think he's doing it on purpose but EVEN IF he is, he updates it daily so it doesn't really matter (at least to me :D).

it was just a joke it wasn't a critic, i am really thankfull for their work as someone who cant read japanese and is able to read this story only thanks to them i will never criticise how they work

[Icy.Tear]

1. Did it really count as a fight? Considering Kana didn't really do much and even saved Kinji.

3. Wasn't this a loss? Patra's minions were just to lure out Aria so she could be sniped and captured.

1. Now that you mentioned it. It's similar to small/trivial fight that Shirayuki and Riko had in v3. But I'll put it as a fight anyway, to emphasize the rematch part.

3. Yeah, they fell into Patra's trap, they were victorious against her minions though, it's just the end result is not favorable to them.

[endarion88]

just a clarify pls, you have started translated the vol 5 from the epilogue, it mean you'll skipp it for now and do the 6th first?

[Nera Sleith]

just a clarify pls, you have started translated the vol 5 from the epilogue, it mean you'll skipp it for now and do the 6th first?
Ah, no. There are two translators working on HnA at the moment.

kira is translating the epilogue while Yoake no Hikari is continuing the translation in order.

[KilluaX90]

After reading the newest translation, I have a question: Kinji states that the school uniform can block a shot from high-caliber rifle, so why is there a need to include a bullet-proof vest in their armament set?

[Icy.Tear]

Because the uniform can't block an anti-tank round.

Probably can't deflect bullets with a higher-caliber than normal, either.

[endarion88]

somehow i got the feeling i will really hate Sherlock

[Icy.Tear]

I'm going to start translating again soon, so you can find out for yourself.

[endarion88]

FTW!!!! hysteria berserk!!!!

[Cosmic Eagle]

それも、当然

Well, the Byou in Ranbyou is a play on leopard, so I don't know about Rambo.

But now that I think about it, there was a rambo reference when Shirayuki pulled out the M60.

How do I romanize オルクス? I think it's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orcus. What do you think?
Nevermind, I confirmed it as Orcus by using my best friend Google.

なぜこの種のシリーズいつも悪い印象を与える、俺は決して分かりはしないけど。。。。

Reki's appetite is surprisingly large for someone who normally eats nothing but energy bars...and her pwning of Aria was epic.

Could be play on Rambo too seeing how many English/Western language terms are there in this series...

[Icy.Tear]

何意味ですか？
その戦争？
人達はツンデレやHaremや が嫌いだから。。。多分

Anyways, I have no idea what pwning you're talking about, because I've only read up to what I've translated XD

そうだ。。。本当に残念です。

vol 6....right after Aria and Riko catch Reki err.....doing some....fulfilment of contract with Kinji. Yeah, best way to put it.

Also...does anyone else listen to Maiden's Cappricio whenever they read a Shirayuki battle scene :heh:

[Icy.Tear]

My personal preference is actually My Heart from the Angel Beats! OST, because I need some calming music from the minutes I spent thinking up cool names for those moves >.>

I listen to Maiden's Cappricio because Shirayuki screaming exotic Shinto-ish names = Reimu throwing spell cards in danmaku battle.

[ZeKeR]

immediate music (movie trailer music in alternate) has a lot of them, including X Ray Dog and Two steps from Hell...

and seriously...

the basis of HSS is centering the women...

Kagemoto probably had issues with his tho... he LIEKS teh females watching his manly body go into combat is what his HS mode probably is.

and if the descriptions of Patra's minion is correct, the reference for it would be a priest of Anubis, tho im still wondering why she didnt use Horus (some of you will probably relate the wedjat eye with his name) or Set.

So Nagato and Tabitha will probably have a new member in the 'stoic faces' club... Reki!

AFAIK she's only made any facial expression only once...

[endarion88]

even so for now i think reki is the most cute

[Anh_Minh]

perhaps,but when you see him doing "edge catching"(parring a sword bare-handed)with just two finger-and no any sword but the legendary durendal,no less!-you understand why shirayuki call him "kin-chan-sama".
I don't really care. It's just a random superhuman feat. Might as well be impressed by the way bullets bounce off superman's chest. Or, heck, the supposedly human Batman swinging from building to building. He's still been an ass to both girls for most of book.

kinji is no the usual harem lead who began weak-train a few week=become strong but instead(thank to that genial idea:hysteria mode) can be both lame,average or exceptional and heroic the same day-and will remain so all the while.
Wich is what make him awesome to me

So he's got a hidden personality which can kick ass. It's not that original.

---

Started vol 3. Every time he thinks "as expected of the descendant of Lupin", I want to yell "screw Lupin. She takes after her mother Mine Fujiko (maybe?), that's what you have to look out for!".

[Icy.Tear]

Now you're just getting biased over personality traits as opposed to bloodline traits Oo

I might add that you're only mentioning what you see as Kinji's negative traits, although he has a reason to hate all women. You're entirely entitled to your own opinion of course, I wouldn't dream of trying to dissuade you : )

Also, Kinji knows about Lupin as opposed to not knowing about Riko's mother, and comparison always starts with a basis...

[Anh_Minh]

Now you're just getting biased over personality traits as opposed to bloodline traits Oo
Damn right. Bloodline traits are nice and all, but they're not what make me like or dislike characters. It's all about the personality.

I might add that you're only mentioning what you see as Kinji's negative traits, although he has a reason to hate all women. You're entirely entitled to your own opinion of course, I wouldn't dream of trying to dissuade you : )
It's not like he even hates Shirayuki or, I suppose, Aria (though there I wouldn't blame him if he did...).

Oh, well. At least he did well at the end. (I don't mean his fight. I mean his decision to fight.)
Also, Kinji knows about Lupin as opposed to not knowing about Riko's mother, and comparison always starts with a basis...

I know. That's why I want to warn him. Forget about the Gentleman Thief. Riko is much, much worse...

[Icy.Tear]

Well, I hold large amounts of bias for this series as well, given that I dedicate massive amounts of time and effort ino it.

That said, maybe I'm translating it badly, but I've always liked Kinji's character, except maybe in parts of Volume 2.
As for his hate for girls...well, it would be incorrect to say he hates them, but he would rather not stay close to them. At least, in the beginning of the novels.
But yes, I actually like the characters in HnA quite a lot, regardless of how most viewers say they are cliche.

[Anh_Minh]

Well, yeah. I don't dislike Kinji, and I was indeed talking about volume 2. He really made me rage at times.

[Icy.Tear]

His character grows.

AS IT SHOULD

[Kleeyook]

isn't all harem protagonist like this? This series will die if Kinji really became a gigolo or a dedicated love only one girl.

[Anh_Minh]

Even so, I thought he should have put in more of an effort to keep his promises, not lie, and not let misunderstandings fester. And not be so frickin dismissive of the Shirayuki's feelings. (But I may be partial, there. Then again, I hold that tsunderes deserve to have their feelings ignored or misunderstood.)

[Kleeyook]

Well, I don't know what to say about Shirayuki. She's so dedicated to Kinji but he doesn't care. It seems like the trauma from being used by girls during middle school is stronger than the bond between he and his childhood friend. :(

[Xacual]

Well, I don't know what to say about Shirayuki. She's so dedicated to Kinji but he doesn't care. It seems like the trauma from being used by girls during middle school is stronger than the bond between he and his childhood friend. :(

In Shirayuki's case he doesn't attribute it to romantic feelings though. At least what I got from the second volume was that he thinks it's more because he was her only friend as a child and that he protected her and stuff. He is pretty dense when it comes to her.

[Cosmic Eagle]

Damn right. Bloodline traits are nice and all, but they're not what make me like or dislike characters. It's all about the personality.

Oh Riko supersedes her ancestor alright....her story is good though. I think maybe the best of all the girls' so far.

[tsunade666]

I think I kinda understand why Anh_Minh hates Kinji. From what he said he reads volume 2 and starting volume 3.

Volume 2 Kinji is an Ass*HOLE MOR*N which doesn't even trust Aria and ignore the warning of a MASTER! Heck the master already ordered Durandal was after Shirayuki but he keeps think he doesn't exist. The moron needs to die. And he even fight with Aria. It really boils on my head.

And Hikira you did a good translation which makes the emotion more lively it's not your fault it's kinji's!!!!

But at least in the near end of the volume HE FINALLY DECIDES TO FIGHT! And even use the most hated ability of his family. In vol 1 his desperate but in vol 2 he chose it himself.

Riko's story so far is the best though I haven't read fully Aria's story but Riko's story is so touching.

Yar...Riko, despite being the only main girl with any confirmed kills (AFAIK) is the one I sympathize with the most.

Vol 2....he should have realized something serious was afoot when even REKI takes up the protection mission

[tsunade666]

before even that. The masters already warning Shirayuki. Just from that point it should be clear. Those master wouldn't care if you die but in this matter. The masters actually care and do percussion and ask for bodyguard. What irritates me more is he didn't believe his PARTNER! and even left Shirayuki alone in the middle of the beach park. His a body for pits sake. But first and foremost to even think the enemy doesn't exist.......... man Kinji really irritates me on vol 2.

[Nera Sleith]

Yar...Riko, despite being the only main girl with any confirmed kills (AFAIK) is the one I sympathize with the most.
Oh no. Riko haven't killed anyone at all. The "Butei Killer" is a misleading stigma branded by the government to Riko. Instead, what she's doing was more like a "Butei Kidnapper". She's recruiting members for EU just like how Jeanne kidnaps Shirayuki in volume 2. This isn't surprising since Riko is the most ambitious one and wanted to become stronger more than anyone else in EU, so she'll recruit any powerful people as much as possible.

Remember the line that Aria said in v3c2? If the government learned the involvement of someone in EU, they will be treated the same as dead. So in short, Riko had managed to recruit some people via "abduction", which in turn the government made it looked like the people she abducted dead because they involved themselves in EU (branding Riko as "Butei Killer"). This also kept the government's reputation because they didn't want the public to know of Buteis joining a criminal organization.

I also think that why the government made Kinji's brother as a scapegoat is because it is one way of countering the possibility of the traitor Butei going back to society. They kinda forced them into hiding since there will be no good life waiting for them if they go back and thus it kept the fact that they were still alive concealed.


Kana didn't come back to society after EU arc and went into hiding somewhere with Patra.
I believe Cao Cao said something similar to Kinji in v7 regarding this matter while they were trapped in the train.

[ZeKeR]

well its safe to assume that Kinji mans up in V3 and is no longer the wimp wussy that he was in v2 (god i am disappoint in him there too)... and Riko has been struck by the smooth criminal...

the near-death Hysteria mode is like Call of Duty's Last Stand perk, only in the Tohyama case, they can still move and its like they are shot with adrenaline for moments.

if there be a VN made... i'll expect the ff:

aria x kinji - kinji fully commits himself to become Aria's partner and BF

riko x kinji - her past comes back to haunt her and he becomes the new assistant and her BF

shirayuki x kinji - go back to hotogi, get married, come back to school to finish studies, return again to have kids

reki x kinji - uh.... he becomes her hubby (dunno anything moar than that)

[Anh_Minh]

I think I kinda understand why Anh_Minh hates Kinji.

I don't hate him. But yeah, the first parts of volume 2 really made me angry at him.

[Master Assassin]

I don't hate him. But yeah, the first parts of volume 2 really made me angry at him.

I'm thinking that he gets better after that. Or I'm wrong.

[Icy.Tear]

The good thing is, he doesn't just have power level rising.

His character grows as well.

[endarion88]

can i ask some question about vol 6 by linking images from B-T or is against the forum rule?

Ah I see....never read vol 1. Only have 5-8 with me.

Government agents appear to be scary. Like I don't know how they would fare against E.U or something. We haven't really seen the military at work yet no? If Butei alone are that level already..

Also....Cao Cao uses a freaking Desert Eagle....gods that is like a hand rifle. Given how strong the main cast are, it's surprising no one else uses it.

Already happened......sort of www

[ZeKeR]

Already happened......sort of www

that happened in v6... if the speculated game digs moar about Reki (hell would the author agree on this?!), im sure that theres a long and obscured history about her... A LOT...

IMO, kinji's outfitting really is the spy class. the damn balisong just completed it. he looks better with an M1911 or FiveseveN tho... seriously... INB4 DESERT EAGLE


he should have used a 93R for full auto modification instead of the 92F. that way, it wont cost that much in modding in terms of cash, dontcha think? it alreay has burst setting as well as the standard semi shot, but you have to bear with its folded stock, tiny second grip, and the barrel sticking out of the gun.

tho there will come a time where everyday clothing turns bulletproof enough to stop a .357 dead in its path but at the cost of OMGWTFITSSOPAINFUL moment.

screw .357...their uniforms can stop assault rifle rounds....only dedicated anti-material rounds have pierced it so far... And I'm amazed that Kana still lives after being hit TWICE in the heart with that.

A NATO 5.56mm hitting your torso means around 40% of your insides on the ground behind you. An anti material round like .50BMG? Even if it were not explosive, well your heart would be blood mist after one hit let alone two....

well 5.56 works well against unarmored people. its that or the high performance 7.62x51 NATO. we can also put down on the table the 7.62x39.

I wonder why Reki wont use a bolt action rifle that carries a bigga round... an AWP with its .338 Lapua Magnum can pierce through KEVLAR and is acclaimed by FPS noobs as the most deadliest sniper rifle in the world, or she can use the DSR-1 w/c can also fire .338 but im sure she wont use it because it be heavy for her or she cant stand the recoil that fast.

They seem to be superexceptional at least, as of far, I haven't seen one appear in the novel. Although there are parts mentioned in the novel hinting about their strength like in v3, Kinji admitted that he won't be any match with them even if he is in Hysteria Mode. Maybe they're around the same level as Kana or more.

Cao Cao uses a rifle too, and a gas bomb (which she calls atomizer), and an UZI, and a seiryuutou, and a metal fan as weapons. She's crazy, that's a lot of weapons.

IMO, kinji's outfitting really is the spy class. the damn balisong just completed it. he looks better with an M1911 or FiveseveN tho... seriously... INB4 DESERT EAGLE
Kinji is a cheat starting v7. With Beretta on left hand and DE on right (yeah, he's the 3rd known Quadra in the series), coupled with Hysteria Mode, he's unstoppable.

By the way, can DE pierce a bulletproof vest?

why yes Nera. the .50 AE is one of the most high power bullets to reach the table. the power it has can literally punch through light grade kevlar thats built to stop subsonic or standard grade ammunition liek 9mm and .45ACP

the only problem with the desert eagle is that the damn recoil it brings to your wrists. the .500 S&W bullet had ZOMG recoil, but its usually loaded to revolvers whereas THIS thing is semi-auto.

in v10... I AM WAITING FOR KINJI IMOUTO TO APPEAR.

so kinji is da 3rd quadra to appear.... cool.

I rather she use a Barret with .50BMG but I guess she doesn't need to I suppose. I mean her 2km range is well in excess of the Dragunov's effective range. She's just that good....and weight....most anti-material rifles are fired from supported position.

I suppose it would work better if they made a spitzer version....of course the internal bleeding would still get you.

That's why for all the vaunted power of a .50AE or .357 or any Magnum round.....

a simple NATO 5.56mm supersedes them all in killing power.

[endarion88]

lol this page seems a monologue of Hirano from high school of the dead!
and oh wait...kinji have a little sister?

[tsunade666]

Kinji had a little sister which is scary in more than ways that you can imagine.

Kinji only use dual pistols but only 1 balisong so it can't be called quadra.

[endarion88]

but when did she appear the first time? is she the girl on vol 8 cover?

[KLGChaos]

Yeah, as ZeKeR said, the Desert Eagle's bullet, the .50 AE caliber, is actually bigger than the colt .45. It's one of the biggest handguns out there-- and pretty much impossible to use 1 handed. Smaller caliber guns are hard enough to be accurate with with one hand, something as big as the desert eagle will probably just break your wrist. :heh: Though, breaking through the vest also depends on the threat rating of the vest. Some vest are meant for high-caliber rounds (like SWAT armor).

Does he pick up another blade, as well? Because with just the balisong, he's more like a triple than a quadra.

[Cosmic Eagle]

but when did she appear the first time? is she the girl on vol 8 cover?

That's Watson....

The only imouto to have appeared is Shirayuki's

[tsunade666]

Kinji's imouto shows up or rather a call in the phone. Not clear on the details yet but in the end of vol 9. Kinji got a call.

Expect hell to break loose once she arrives.

So far I haven't heard Kinji uses another blade than his brother butterfly knife so he is more like triple weapon than quadra. That's why I'm also asking if he uses another weapon.

[dragonspit4]

Let's talk about this:

Vol 1 is really good because of the touching moments between Kinji and Aria. Aria got a cross-shaped scar on her forehead during the bus hijack mission because she tried to protect Kinji. She has to push her hair down in the front and not show her forehead to hide the scar. The scene in the hospital where Kinji saw Aria looking in the mirror crying with tears on her face is really touching. I really like how the book ended with the airplane rescue and how Aria was near death (ie. her heart stopped) and the emergency landing.

Vol 2 is really nothing special except we learned that there are more super power users in the world.

Vol 3 about Riko's struggle with Dracula was very well done.

Vol 4 and 5 is excellent because of the explanation of Hidan.

Vol 6 and 7 is boring because of Reki's stupid action.

Vol 9 it good again because of the battle with Hirudo. Riko nearly died from battle (from poison). The "last" moments between her and Kinji is really touching. Through very long battles all her life, she has finally found salvation and a peace of mind.

My favourite character is Aria, but the romance between her and Kinji needs to be a little bit faster!! My second favourite character is Riko cause her story is the best out of all other characters and her struggle in getting rid of her fear and her past is what makes this story outstanding.

I wish the author touches more on Hidan and the power of Hidan. Aria need to use her power more often and stuff.

[Nera Sleith]

Does he pick up another blade, as well? Because with just the balisong, he's more like a triple than a quadra.

Kinji only use dual pistols but only 1 balisong so it can't be called quadra.
He uses scramasax in one hand and balisong on the other.

He won't get the hands of scramasax until after EU arc. (cause he stole it from Sherlock lol)

the power of crimson bullet.... it sure is devastating and pretty cheap/cheat like move. Well it's a laser like ability.

So Kinji get his hands on a sax. Good combo with balisong but those 2 are both short range though it depends on sax but most are not that long. Kinji reminds me of Riko who use two daggers.

[ZeKeR]

so is it safe to assume that Kinji's Beretta is an unofficial 93R instead of the 92F?

soo....

relations
kinji + aria x rage + shirayuki x yandere = untold numbers of damage will be had when they fight for the guy....
riko + kinji = *insert smooth criminal song here*
kinji + reki = liek a dog that follows its master... only in her case, her 'hubby'
kinji + aya (DAT LOLI) = i dunno, but they probably have a good relation
kinji + Hotogi house = very close, but hopefully NOT all are yandere liek a certain Hotogi
Fuu + kinji = mah master!
kinji + kana = dammit i wish this HS form IS a girl..... but he lieks 'her' coz she be sibling
kinji + jeanne = untold numbers of both lol and lulz shall be had
kinji + imouto = B-R-O-C-O-N sister is imminent...
Watson + Kinji = i dunno... lulz liek Jeanne?

i dunno but kinji imouto sounds liek a yandere for kinji due to extreme brocon. Shirayuki and her will get along VEEEERRRYYY well....

also, i like Sherlock Holmes' design here...

btw who was that girl that appeared in v8 and v9?
dracula's daughter? she be a gothic style

Oh Nera, Hikari.... where are you? can you confirm this DELICIOUS speculation?

Dunno....I haven't read 9 but......yar it seems possible ^^

[tsunade666]

Hikiri didn't read further too. Nera is the only one who probably read that far. Hilda is the blonde twin tail girl right?

Yar...I've only read the fight with her at the start of 8 but she's a vampire with Vlad's durability and she's stronger than him by a fair margin.

Also...just curious. To all those that have fired .50AE with the DE....how's the recoil compared to say...a GPMG?

lets just say after you shot it, the area between the thumb and pointer feels sore and your wrist is aching. this is if you continue to shoot all seven bullets without stopping to aim properly.

a GPMG has a stand so the only thing that it can do is vibrate your whole arms but it wont make them THAT sore... unless you're carrying a high recoil MG or a SAW

if the Butei students are authorized to equip MG's (Shirayuki didnt have her katana thats why she went guns-a-blazin' at that time instead of choppy), then it would be Assault's Special Weapons Heavy Teams or something related to that

[tsunade666]

Plus a GMPG had a thing that can be put on your shoulder. I'm not good at guns but when I look at the picture. It's like the rifle type that you can rest on your shoulder to support the recoil as for Desert Eagle. The whole impact will be absorb by your hands and elbow to shoulder but mostly your hands will probably feel the full blunt of it.

A SAW is my standard weapon on exercise and ops. I can burst fire from standing and it doesn't feel too uncomfortable....

I heard too many stories about people getting smacked in the face by a recoiling DE...

The new EU structure and rules of war makes things more fun....throw out your champions and fight duels like card games...Hilda is one of the Kenzoku (Grenada?) for the E.U with the Vatican nun Meiya as the leader.

[Endscape]

So what was that about Watson now? A descendant of John H. shows up?

[endarion88]

i have problem in accessing at B-T is just me or it's server have problem right now?

[larethian]

up already, since it's so short, it could be a restart, which is scheduled at regular intervals, which was set up because of a database bug that will no longer queue requests under certain conditions.

actually im not in active service but I do get a lot with my uncle who sometimes goes on business trips all over the world.

a full auto SAW with ZOMG recoil (what fits the bill is those that fire bigga rounds liek M60E4 and the M2HB) will make your wrist and arms a bit sore.

[Icy.Tear]

Ah...I thought it was crashed too, so I read a few chapters of manga before I realized that it had gotten up a while ago.

[tsunade666]

neh, I'm having problem on the anime adaptation with their cutting of important details and the pacing. The pacing is okay and I love it but by this pacing vol 1 will take 5 episodes to be finish. And the most they can do on a 1 cour anime series is vol 3. I hate to see vol 4 and 5.2 be rushed so vol 3 is the best bet.

episode 3 = will be first mission
episode 4 = will probably the event with Aria and her mom and then Kinji meeting with Riko and the start of the plane hijacking
episode 5 = will be the battle of butei killer.
episode 6 = start of vol 2.

I'm fine with slow pacing, for the most part it's kept most of the important details in. I'd hate something like 5 novels crammed into 12 episodes. Also the fact that Sayanaki has appeared in both episodes despite not appearing until volume 3 makes me think that volume is where they want to end on.

I agree with the timeline for the episodes though, looking forward to Kinji landing the plane.

About the novel translations though, Sherlock really doesn't strike me as someone who has committed crimes and murders though, he seems like everything he's done has basically been to protect the Hidan thing, including taking over EU. Now the question would be why Kanae was framed and stuff but I'm sure we'll learn about that later.

I think they'll put both first mission and Aria's mother in ep3. I saw Riko in the preview, and the background didn't appear to be in the greenhouse. I think it might be in the family restaurant after Aria's mother scene.

Also, I think HnA will have 13 episodes not 12. If you look at the blu-ray and dvd release at TBS site, they'll be releasing 7.
BD/DVD 2-7 are 50mins in length, while BD/DVD 1 is 25min. And you can do the math. :D

Using what Kana said to Kinji in v4c4:
"We guided Aria into EU. However, if she's not qualified--which means, weak, we'll kill her and find another leader. That is the conviction of those in Daio."

I think they framed Kanae so Aria would go after EU. They know she would go after them to save her mother. If she didn't pass the trials EU put to her, they'll kill her. If she did, they have a way to convince her to take EU's leader position.

I may be mistaken since it's been a while since I last read v5 and I can't remember the exact reason. But this is what I can gather for now.

Don't forget in episode 3 they would have to also do the scene with Kinji visiting Assault. That was a decent development moment for Aria seeing him surrounded by everyone. It really depends on how long the mission takes. I could see the mission being over by halfway through leaving the other half for Aria's mother visit and talking to Riko.

Edit: I forgot the crane game scene too.

[tsunade666]

I also agree that framing Kanae will give Aria a reason to move out and hunt EU. And with her hunting them she will prove her strength, improve it and even find a partner.

If episode 3 will also shows up the event with Kanae and the bus hijacking. I just think it lacks time to do so because they also show the event with Kinji and Aria with Leopon. And knowing the bus hijacking that part takes a lot of time and also after that the hospital and Kinji's poor stalking of Aria. And after all that. It will just be the event with Riko. By the pacing JC staff is doing I just doubt it. It will just feel rushed.

[Xacual]

Actually I'm surprised that the title of the novels didn't get explained until the 4/5 ones. Usually that gets explained pretty early on. Unless I missed something sooner.

Yeah. Next episode, people might change their view to Aria (or lighten their opinion at least), since not only character development, but that's also where she'll be more soft in her tsun attitude like thanking Kinji and commenting how he looked cool surrounded by everyone like you said.

I'm not sure how they'll handle the pacing for the busjacking. But they might rush it (I'm still doubtful why they left out the key plot of Riko destroying Kinji's watch last episode). Well, they just have to show how Aria took the hit instead of Kinji, and they can just go straight to the hospital after that.

Edit: Oh I forgot, this is where they'll reveal Kinji's past and why he hates Butei and HSS too.

That, I agree. Back to Assault and crane game, busjacking, hospital, Kinji's brother, and Aria's mother is too much for 1 episode. But we'll see next week.

[tsunade666]

the most trouble some part is the watch. I wonder what will they do with that part. It's a key plot and it's not been shown.

They can't just show Aria taking the hit if they show already looking at the sniper scope. It means Reki will rule the next episode.

Honestly was the watch that important? I honestly don't remember what it did for Riko other than make Kinji late for the bus that day and he could just be dumb again and miss it like he did in the first ep.

Oh, that's true. Maybe they'll make Kinji oversleep next day, missing the bus.

Well, they dropped some materials at least.
But I personally preferred if they showed the watch cause it will make the conclusion chapter later better.

[tsunade666]

the watched leads to Kinji being late and Kinji deducing how things turn that way. He can't just miss it and be dumb with it because it will miss a point in the deduction of Kinji,

[ZeKeR]

say Shirayuki imouto no. 2 appeared in v9? dat girl who sat on Shirayuki is her?

KINJI X HILDA MUST HAPPEN PLOX AS WITH FUU X KINJI AND AYA X KINJI.

I pity kinji in v5... that HS mode is not something to go easy with.... sure Holmes is in the near-death HS mode, but seriously... Kinji will be eventually kill himself if he gives in to the rage.

I think Muto x Aya might happen since the two really get along (check v4). However, we all know Muto has the hots for Shirayuki so maybe not.

Kinji x Fuu. Actually in HnA AA they are sisters in battles (kinda like partners), as what was written in Japanese wiki.

I haven't reached v9 yet so I can't comment anything beyond v7.

Anyways, Kinji x Hilda is a thumbs up for me. She's hot haha.

And why hasn't anyone mentioned KINJI x SHIRANUI!!

Just got to the part in volume three where Riko disguises herself as Kana. Hearing Kinji refer to his brother as "her" and reading his dialogue about his beauty is kind of sickening. The boy has some major issues he needs to work out.. Like his sexuality. I swear, if it weren't for hysteria mode, his personality and hots for his brother would have me believing he's gay. Heck, he might still be.

It's explained in volume 4 but there is a reason he refers to his brother as her and Kana when he crossdresses.

But look at the way Shiranui grabs his arm... Shiranui is in the gray area cause he doesn't show any interest to girls or doesn't make a girlfriend despite being popular and having good looks. Well, that was a popular rumor circulated around Butei High girls actually.
But seriously, I am wondering why he has no apparent interest in girls. I am suspecting that there is more to his character than how he was being portrayed. And of course, it won't be a pluma gai or something.

I was thinking he's hiding something similar to HSS traits, and kinda like he's keeping it a secret for a reason (just like Kinji) and avoiding getting intimate on a girl because it was a trigger to activate it. Whatever the case, he's fishy to me. I felt the same vibes from him as I got from Tsuchimikado. He must be hiding something. Muto is an idiot so he's kinda like Aogami Pierce in Index.

Seeing that you really like Reki, I recommend ExE and play Natsuki route. They have a lot of similarities. Well, she doesn't have Dragunov though. Otherwise, Noble Works is good. If you prefer light-hearted theme with a good story, that's the best one I can recommend you.

he probably has a fiancée or that he's to preoccupied to be in relations. he DID manage to infiltrate a host club and getting out like a smooth criminal tho.

I only played ExE once after my friend finished the entire game... I went O_o upon seeing the art.... exactly the same.... DAT REKI LOOKALIKE...

but still... only Muto and Shiranui are his all men crew tho.... and if Kinji wasnt all that cold and shady towards the girls (except not being a gigolo), he'd be really popular... and I mean REALLY REALLY popular... but the bastard's an unmotivated piece of WUSS in normal mode.

Well, I guess it's rude for Muto to compare him to Aogami. He got my respect after that action in volume 7.

But it's just how Kinji calls him an idiot during his monologues.

sooner or later, this guy's probably gonna face his own ancestor in combat... that metal will probably be identical to Shirayuki's katana and is also the family heirloom or some sort.

vol 6, could have handled Aria a bit more tactfully in that first clash between her, Riko and Reki....

vol 8, bumbled when it was his team's turn to declare themselves in duel against the new E.U....

Jeanne is our KNIGHT. Shirayuki is the PROPHET.

There's only one Megami-sama in Aria and it's Reki. And only Riko comes anywhere close to that.....(coz if she keeps this up she may steal that title soon wwww)

vol 6, could have handled Aria a bit more tactfully in that first clash between her, Riko and Reki....
But wasn't Kinji rifle-prisoned by Reki there?
He couldn't go after Aria because Reki prevents him from doing so (said to stay away from Aria). He couldn't do anything either even when he managed to break away from Reki and Haimaki for a little time because he has more important stuff to do. I think Kinji was just trapped there and has limited action.

During the fight, I personally find it hard to blame Kinji cause of the streak of misfortune that happened to him that day.
Can't blame him if he couldn't think of a better way to handle situations because of frustration.

Jeanne is our KNIGHT. Shirayuki is the PROPHET.
I swear that made me recall Saber when I saw that last image of v7.

By the way Cosmic Eagle, is your avatar from visual novel? If yes or if not, what title?

No..no I mean with his words....saying that their team with Aria was disorganized and that it can't be called a team....that would just provoke her into attacking...

My avvy is from Madoka...the ONE TRUE CHURCH OF OUR HOLY LADY. It's Kyouko and Sayaka.

[Icy.Tear]

Urobuchi Gen sure knows how to write.

He brought us Fate/Zero and Saya no Uta, after all.

Anyways, Kinji just showed his hax again Oo

And I left at a cliffhanger again.

Time for lunch!

Gah what a terrible place to stop for now. Well maybe there will be more after I wake up. Keep up the great work!

[Icy.Tear]

I certainly didn't see that coming.

[Cosmic Eagle]

But you are close....

And seriously...vol 5 feels so much like Index vol 18 on a smaller scale.....

Brit royals fighting each other with magic artifacts and retarded insanely amped combat abilities

[Icy.Tear]

I call Kinji's new move

"遠ヤマタマ "

アタマ...Do you see what I did thar?

Maybe it would make more sense like:

Tohyamatama

[Cosmic Eagle]

haem..what it mean?

Tohyama Head...if only he had say, a kevlar helmet on...

[Icy.Tear]

Well, he already has an iron head.

[ZeKeR]

only in Type B is the Butei Students loaded with the standard kevlar vest, ballistic helm, and their weapons.

Departments I know are: (Nera, Hikari, HALP!)

Assault - students here are trained equal to that of a spec. ops unit.
Snipe - this class trains students in the art of sniping.
Lezzad - forgot what they do
Dagula -you wont tell shit? students here will make you talk with their 'methods' of interrogation
Inquesta - this is where students learn to hone their detective skills
Rapier - pretty much the Crime Labs of the school where students learn to analyze fragments and evidence
Amdo - the caretakers of all the gear in the school. hey, dont underestimate them that much, because they can put an HE round in the humble 9mm or convert your sidearm into a full auto mod
Logistics/Logi - students here learn to man any vehicle, whether it be from a simple motorcycle to a high class nuclear submarine
Connect - most students here know how to mess with any forms of communication. they can also prioritize high level Butei comm relays
Informa - now you know info at times tend to be messy. students here collate and evaluate the data and info gathered
Medica - pretty much the students are treated as college students in BS Nursing and the advanced Medicine studies.
Ambulance - im pretty sure they work in tandem with Medica students, but the students here know how to give medical treatment on the field.
SSR - students studying the supernatural and employing them if need be
CVR - take an Assault student and an Inquesta one, merge them together... voila!
Masters - pretty much the graduates who return to teach you all you need to know

[Cosmic Eagle]

Lezzad are espionage and secret services.

Dunno where the name comes from....

CVR are the honey trappers.

From Translator Notes 3.
I'm going to move it into general guidelines

[tsunade666]

CVR isn't just assault and inquesta together. It's made of beautiful girls. Paradise for Kinji XD

[Icy.Tear]

... I just lost 11% of the chapter.

I pressed save...but it disappeared................

Ah...Found it by going through my history...But that's weird...

...Ah...I can't save the new edit Oo

Nevermind, I figured out the problem.

[ZeKeR]

CVR isn't just assault and inquesta together. It's made of beautiful girls. Paradise for Kinji XD

more like... a LOT of explosives that have motion detectors for the guy...

i believe that tho Aria may have Kinji, that doesnt mean that the girls wont stop.... in getting thar man....

so...I think somewhere in the Assault section are the SWAT-like mobilization teams that are the l33t of the section and may be under the CVR...

god i dun wanna be interrogated by a Dagula... who knows what they might do... either mindfuck you until you fess up or do torture (did I mention that stabbing sharpened bamboo shards under your fingernails hurt and its an effective thing if an SOB wont tell you the shit you need?)

[Icy.Tear]

v5c2 has been completed.

End of First Arc.

[tsunade666]

speaking of dagula I remember the pork ramen? or tonkatsu? I'm not sure of what food it is given to suspect to fess up what they know. Some kind of comedic interrogation.

Thanks for the translation hikari.

[KilluaX90]

4 and a half volumes for just a frigging Prologue? That's one of the longest Prologue I've ever seen...

[tsunade666]

one of the longest? you haven't seen denyuden yet. It had 11 volume and 11 side story volume just for prologue.

Index story is just starting to shape up when 3 heroes meet up with each other in new testament but still that doesn't make the 22 and 2 side story prologue.

Hidan no Aria's prologue to story isn't really that long. Though it's true it did 4 and half volume to introduce the premises of magic/ability and superman beings. But really kinji would need a diamond handcuff because chotei handcuff wouldn't work on him. He is like zoro without devil fruit so sea stone wouldn't work on him.

[ZeKeR]

4 and a half volumes for just a frigging Prologue? That's one of the longest Prologue I've ever seen...

it IS after all the overture fine.... just like nearing the edge of a cliff, but once you get to the edge itself, a bigger and longer road appears below...

god i wish they'd reach this point in the anime... this be cool...

say Jeanne will appear here... in v5... right? RIGHT?! I WANNA SEE HER LULZ!

[KilluaX90]

To reach this point with only 13 episode, the anime have to be rushed, and I really don't want that to happen.

With the present pacing, I expect the anime to stop at volume 3; though that would be one heck of a cliffhanger:heh:

And talk about the anime, Nera translated Riko's report about Aria and it did mention Aria's weakness to water(unable to swim). But Kinji didn't seem to know that until much later (in Vol 3 I think):confused:

[Athena]

BTW, you can add

Watson in Ambulace. I think.

And a CVR girl appeared in a short story.

Also, I've always thought that Jeanne and Hina were in the same department. Chinese characters are very confusing...

[doomknight]

i got a couple of questions.. Aria is the 4th Holmes as Riko is Lupin 4th right? Also what about Watson.. what generation is her and is she willing to become the partner of Aria i mean like the ancestor team?

Nera did you make that avatar of Jeanne? I join the worship of Jeanne :D

Watson should also be the 4th. In fact, Watson should've been the 'partner' of Aria. I meant partner as something else than comrades...but the thing is that Watson the 4th has a little...issue. I don't want to spoil everything, so I explained it just enough.

[ZeKeR]

watson should also be the 4th. In fact, watson should've been the 'partner' of aria. I meant partner as something else than comrades...but the thing is that watson the 4th has a little...issue. I don't want to spoil everything, so i explained it just enough.

spoil us rotton plox....

[Athena]

spoil us rotton plox....

Basically, Watson was supposed to marry Aria. The only little problem is that I don't think that homosexual marriages are tolerated in Japan, which caused Watson to cross-dress. I need Yoake or Nera to check this, though.

so THATS it... hmm...

tho ME LIEK the thought of it....

[Athena]

Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending of your point of view...Who else but Knji seduced her?

AlsoAfter V8, it gets serious. After all, the first 5 volumes were just a prologue...but after V9, it seems that it might get bloody.

[Kleeyook]

I wish all lesbian and yuri-crap will disappear from the world!

[KLGChaos]

I wish all lesbian and yuri-crap will disappear from the world!

Only if it takes the Yaoi stuff with it. :P

Or at least keep it out of my shoroms...

[Icy.Tear]

Are you saying that ShiranuixKinji could possibly be a bad thing?

Anyways, I just realized that there was a wikia for this series Oo

I'm way too lazy to add to it though, so it's up to you, the readers to rip my translations for general benefit!

FAITO

[Darknemo2000]

I wish all lesbian and yuri-crap will disappear from the world!

Well they can stay in hentai. But non-hentai? Yeah, they should vanish from there.

Are you saying that ShiranuixKinji could possibly be a bad thing?

No, it would be a disgusting ugly bad thing.

[Icy.Tear]

That would be 'yes', not 'no'.

[endarion88]

it's kind of hard to follow when you talk about character that will appear in vol 6+ there's a lot of them judging from your post

[Darknemo2000]

That would be 'yes', not 'no'.

No I am not saying it would be just a bad thing.

Oh i see interesting although she has appeared kind of late i wonder if Aria will team up with Watson.

Oh.... thats quite the info.. marry eh.. but even if they "allowed" there would be no child :p

For some reasons, I signed up but couldn't edit the wiki. Otherwise I would translate the baidu article of HnA directly.

Also, Yoake, just by curiosity, what do you think of BL?

[tsunade666]

Oh.... thats quite the info.. marry eh.. but even if they "allowed" there would be no child :p


if there is no child there is no next generation but thanks to tohyama guy both watson and holmes plus lupin will be having 5th generation

[doomknight]

Hahaha so true.. dont forget Jeanne d' Arc 31th :D

[tsunade666]

Jeanne is everyone's waifu. I will kill kinji for it XD

[doomknight]

Jeanne is everyone's waifu. I will kill kinji for it XD

Im ok with sharing, and would you be able to kill HS Kinji?

[tsunade666]

even if his in hysteria berserk :cool:

though in the planned route.
Shirayuki is okay with sharing as long as she's wife and other are mistress
and Aria is okay too as long as his number 1 and your number 2 slave. Both have same mentality :uhoh: :heh: :uhoh:

Riko is problem she doesn't like harem route.

Jeanne is LoLz nothing else nothing less. :heh: :D :heh:

well their relations should probably be liek this nao... (Aria is nao smitten... right? RIGHT?!)

Aria - well, as in Rie's avatars, she's too tsundere to admit it
Shirayuki - a miko that is loyal, 'protective' and watchful (I MEAN IT), what more can you ask?
Riko - i dunno if she continues her facade around the guy (she DID call him kinji, not ki-kun... right?)
Reki - DAMMIT! its hard to tell with that Poker face she's sharing with Nagato and Tabitha!
Jeanne - *drags Nera and Hikari* does our goddess liek him?!
Fuu - you ish mah teach!

Nera, and Hikari can probably prove me wrong and add some moar relations to Kinji tho.... forgot the honorifics the girls in kinji's life address him

Im also betting Shirayuki Imouto has a blade of her own... I DID saw a handle of a tanto (twas a knife sized handle and i couldnt see the tsuba ehem, handguard so that rules out the wakizashi on it) when our unlucky MC and gigolo pushed her down (for some strange reason i want Jeanne to lol at him for once)

[Icy.Tear]

Aria - Kinji (katakana)
Shirayuki - Kin-chan (katakana)
Riko - Ki-kun (katakana)
Reki - Kinji-san (I believe...Kanji, can't really remember.)
Jeanne - Tohyama (Kanji)

There's no clear indication that Jeanne is part of Kinji's harem...yet.

[KLGChaos]

Just finished volume four. Catching a bullet with his teeth reminded me of a Mythbusters where they proved it was impossible. Of course, in the realm of fantasy anything is possible. Loved the end where Kinji basically admitted his feelings to himself. Will wait until volume 5 is fully translated before I read the next volume.

You could go ahead and read it. The first two chapters are the end of the EU arc while the last 3 seem to be wind down chapters.

Yuu is great, I haven't yet decided what character from this season I want to change my avatar too, might wait for a good Shirayuki yandere scene or an animated Jeanne.

A dastardly ploy!

Does Kinji keep the "Ragnarock?" sword he got from Sherlock?

[Nera Sleith]

A dastardly ploy!

Does Kinji keep the "Ragnarock?" sword he got from Sherlock?
I believe it was Scramasax. But yes, he'll keep it.

[Xacual]

I believe it was Scramasax. But yes, he'll keep it.

Well it was a scramasax sword but Sherlock basically said it was called Ragnarock didn't he?

[Icy.Tear]

It's weapon type is a scramasax, but Sherlock reacted in surprise, with an expression that conveyed "How did you know?" When Kinji said "If it's not Excalibur, then it's something like Ragnarok."

[Nera Sleith]

Well it was a scramasax sword but Sherlock basically said it was called Ragnarock didn't he?
Ah yes, Sherlock explicitly admitted that its name was Ragnarok.

The novel actually refer to it as scramasax. I just remembered that it was also Ragnarok (according to Sherlock)

[Icy.Tear]

Yeah, a scramasax is a Saxon hunting knife (Thank you Wikipedia!)

That isn't its actual 'name', I don't think.

[Nera Sleith]

Yeah, a scramasax is a Saxon hunting knife (Thank you Wikipedia!)

That isn't its actual 'name', I don't think.

There's one line actually that confuses me.

Kinji just randomly mentioned random famous sword names and Sherlock was like "Ohh!? Nice deduction there buddy. +1 Ren to you".
And then Kinji said this line:

「…あんたも適当な男だな。実は」

Can be: Sherlock really believes it was the name of the sword but he was actually deceived, or Sherlock was playing along with Kinji (he's being random too like Kinji),

[Icy.Tear]

Heh, I think Kinji is just going "...You're really easygoing. Actually."

I translated it as "You're really casual," at least.

Maybe Sherlock is just trying to fit the situation, but it would make sense that it'd be Ragnarok, since Ragnarok is a Norse myth, and a scramasax is from around that region.

[KLGChaos]

Ragnarok... the big war of the gods that brings about the end of the world... after Odin gets eaten by a giant wolf. All Kinji needs is a knife called Fenrir now.

[tsunade666]

hikari I'm just reading the battle of patra and shirayuki but just a suggestion on shirayuki's moves. In chrome shelled regios translation. They use the romanji too of the move then with a () or [] the english translation of it. Like a translation note or something. It helpful that there is a link but you need to scroll down or click it to read it's meaning.

[Icy.Tear]

Change it if you like.

Shirayuki...is...so...scary...

[ZeKeR]

Change it if you like.

Shirayuki...is...so...scary...

finally... this girl has been broken by dat yandere....

its original name is just a seax tho... and kinji's balisong is probably bigger than the standard length one for him to dual carry the seax and the balisong at the same time... its that or we will have to say that he has a medium blade and a compact one is in his hands...

[Xacual]

Change it if you like.

Shirayuki...is...so...scary...

Haha wow. Start of chapter 3 is awesome. Shirayuki's antics never fail to amuse me.

[Nera Sleith]

I wonder if she had already tried divining her own fate.

[ZeKeR]

I wonder if she had already tried divining her own fate.

if she did... she would never EVER EVER accept it... nor can she accept the fact that somewhere in the line, she can see his future wife (at one point in the start i think kinji asked about her predictions about herself and as he said himself, its DAMN ACCURATE AS A SNIPER RIFLE HITS BULLSEYE)

if Jeanne materializes from the 2D world... I wonder what antics would happen.....

inb4 she looks like Saber in V7 final lol

Holmes' choice of gun fits his age... tho I'd like to see him use the British Commonwealth's Webley revolvers

and HOLY SHIT shirayuki!!!!! i know you love the guy but going THAT far to plan in advance is just.... yandere-like (as if she's not a yandere at all!!!!)

[Nera Sleith]

and HOLY SHIT shirayuki!!!!! i know you love the guy but going THAT far to plan in advance is just.... yandere-like (as if she's not a yandere at all!!!!)
This reminds me of Shouko.
She even have planned the names of her children with Yuuji. :heh:

[Icy.Tear]

True enough.

[ZeKeR]

This reminds me of Shouko.
She even have planned the names of her children with Yuuji. :heh:

yeah, but shirayuki EXPECTS her kids to look liek her kin-chan-sama....

btw was it explained the cause of her yandereness towards kinji?

i think konayuki is there to monitor her 'onee-sama', go to a Butei school, or keep Kinji's "filthy" hands away from her beloved. (confirm yandere for her plox)...

[Icy.Tear]

Who knows, I'm taking a break right now Oo

I figured it was because he was her childhood friend and that he took her out of the shrine that one time. Stuff like that. The Hotogi Shrine seems to be a very repressive environment so Shirayuki probably really latched on emotionally to what Kinji offered.

[Athena]

I'd say that there's a huge chance that Konayuki turns Tsundere rather than yandere.

[blitz1/2]

I'd say that there's a huge chance that Konayuki turns Tsundere rather than yandere.

lol, if Konayuki was yandere, at least we would have more of a reason to think that the yandere trait is part of a family tradition. Maybe it's their version of "hysterical mode" xp

[ZeKeR]

lol, if Konayuki was yandere, at least we would have more of a reason to think that the yandere trait is part of a family tradition. Maybe it's their version of "hysterical mode" xp

Kazayuki was said to have that stoic-like look that Reki has....

[Icy.Tear]

Nera, I have a question.

Konayuki refers to "Taku" and "Sen"

Now, Sen is 'to divine', I know that, but Taku is something like 'to surrender'?
Eh, I'll just keep it in romaji for now and I'll add a note later.

[endarion88]

ok the little sister dont like kinji....for now.
also the hotogi family has really a lot of fantasy for names uh....

[ZeKeR]

Aria? is this girl your clone?

[Endscape]

A question. I heard something about a descendant of Watson showing up, that true?

[Icy.Tear]

Yes.

And I think we have our first canon Yuri pairing!


Edit:

And I just realized it was incest.

Hooray!

[endarion88]

Yes.

And I think we have our first canon Yuri pairing!


Edit:

[Darknemo2000]

Yes.

Edit:

Hooray!

Umm doesnt she fall for Kenji anyway?

[Icy.Tear]

I have no idea.

I haven't read further.

And I'm not talking about Watson, I was talking about Konayuki and Shirayuki.
Just a joke.
