Thanks for the summary!

NN is the heaviest section by far. Posting Haru first. Also, the sentences appear short and blunt because it's the writing style in chinese, a few words give all the info you need. So they're direct translations, 'almost' word for word. Flow isn't my focus here.

Spoiler for Chinese Wiki Haru:


My thoughts

What a wall of text, both english and chinese. Take your time to read, a lot of info has already been summarised on this thread but to new guys who just read the discussions, you'll benefit.

Seasoned veterans, be patient, a lot of the spoilers have already been spoiled by Flere and those with jap volumes already. A quick scan through the rest of the page shows some even I don't know, so well, um..

I'll do KYH next if there's no specific requests, and only after I clear a couple pages of V11 chapter 1.

Spoiler for The result:
That explains the owl we saw in the psp game. I am guessing Utai volunteered to take care of the owl.

No kidding.

It's a bit more complicated but yes, Utai volunteered to take care of the owl.

I have no idea what the proper Chinese translation for Snark is, '吐槽' is generally accepted as meaning that despite it being slang.
Ah I see. You wouldn't happen to be Singaporean, then?

Infinity Star Sword sounds cool.

I am guessing from Disaster Armor, it will now become Disaster Sword.

Minor nitpick: Grande or Grandee?

And follow the jap name's pronounciation, or...say grand-EE?

I think it's "Grande".
I'm sure they're using the spanish word for "Big" which is spelled "Grande".

well, its written grande and its spanish for big but he might've spelled it as grandee

im assuming the author wanted variety while thinking of avatar names so he used foreign words and maybe made a mistake since green grande is roughly translated as green big

Nope, is Grandee, Grandee, is actually an English word
Grandee (pron.: /ɡrənˈdiː/) is the word used to render in English the Iberian high aristocratic title or rank of Grande (Spanish: [ˈɡɾande], Portuguese: [ˈɡɾɐ̃dɨ]; literally "Great, Grand")

also, all avatar are name on English except one

Chocolat Puppeter, which is French for chocolate puppeteer
