Erotora, is the MC also a "Shelter" ???? I'm a sucker for story where everyone have power except MC and MC still overcame it.

playboy like Shizuru from Black Maria?

Tiger, do your research.
He uses Belzébuth (ベルゼビュート, thanks Wikipedia), not Beelzebub (ベルゼブブ).
Apparently the difference is French yada yada.

Adult shota-male sneaking into an academy to be a bodyguard (lol), eh? Sounds like Gun X Clover.

[Waxman]

Hm... I know this is rather minor but since confirmed Belzebuth as a pedo... I mean young looking man interested in young girls, i want to ask what's up with his sword?
.
Its just for the name of the wn or does he have a special sword?

[wuhugm]

^At where I am, he never uses sword, but it was hinted he's more fearsome with it

Eh? What's the difference?
In this novel also referred as "Lord of The Flies", that's Beelzebub

Yea, the premise is similar to G X C, but that manga went insane

Yea, but here is more manly
Easily utter lines like "Your eyes are as beautiful as jewels" etc

It's complicated but you can say he has no power except his mercenary skills.

The theme is "Shell' and almost every aspect of this power using the kanji for Shell. Reads : Kaku.
The japanese reading for Shelter is Kakuseisha which can also means Awakened.

Belzébuth is just the french for Beelzebub man...

[Rinvelt]

^That's what he points out: It's ビュート not ブブ

[wuhugm]

^Sasuke said there's yada yada too, but in here it's just the matter of English or French

[Ruki0089]

Seriously... You people still talking title of this wn??

[sasuke706]

^Haven't' gotten around to reading it yet and all.

Actually, the difference only being French is all I said. "French yada yada" isn't a "too" thing. Fundamentally you can ignore 'yada yada' in most cases it's used in and it won't change the meaning of the sentence at all. Of course an exception being when the sentence is only that, which is an expression of boredom and disinterest.

The point is the author chose the specific French spelling of the word when the English spelling is more common in Japanese to begin with—for whatever reasons he may have—while you're choosing to use the English word because you're more comfortable with it. I imagine he wanted to go with the more exotic version of the word and have it not be comfortable. Probably why he uses "sword of" in English as well, for that exoticness.
It's a case of localization versus translation.

Of course it could also just be the author doesn't know the difference in the word either and is just using it.

[wuhugm]

^Is that so?
My experiences with yada yada always refers to more details about the subject mentioned earlier

Ah btw, the reason it's Belzébuth is because that nickname was coined by a french soldier who saw the corpses left in the wake of MC are swarmed by flies

[Rinvelt]

^Then even more reason to be Belzébuth then.

[LKK]

Thread title changed to Sword of Belzébuth.

[wuhugm]

^Thanks!
