Takano Akira as Hizamaru

solo random bromide

It maybe just me but whenever I hear the Japanese VA refer to MC/you as "kisama", I feel like it's derogatory in a way? In Japanese, there are several ways to call someone "you" but "kisama" seems like the most demeaning one out of "anata, omae, kimi and (such that I probably forgot)" I simply don't feel the love when they say that...

Hello, Precious!

Isn’t it funny how words change over time?

Ain’t (formerly “amn’t”) is a perfectly fine contraction of “am not,” “are not,” and “is not,” but we can thank Charles Dickens for giving it the reputation of being “incorrect” today (it’s not), by associating it with the lower classes in his books, and therefore taking it straight out of the speech patterns of educated society.

From what I understand, “kisama 貴様,” was not always used when being rude, as the “ki 貴” in “kisama” denotes “value,” “honor,” “precious,” etc. 

Appearing around the 16th century, kisama was used for respected individuals of high rank, typically among the warrior classes.

At the time, its usage was polite, so Nobunaga, who uses it often, would be applying the archaic intention of “you,” when he addresses his modern-day beloved. 

“Omae お前”  was the same way, once an honorific, and now downgraded to simply “you,” sometimes rudely.

Since we get to hear their voices in the game, we can discern the context by their tone, the same way as in English. 

For example:

“Can you help me?” hopeful/inquisitive

“Who knocked my cup over? Was it you, again!?” rude/sarcastic/angry/accusatory

It’s hard to imagine that as hopelessly, helplessly in love with Chatelaine as Nobunaga is, that he’s calling her “you bastard,” instead of a respectful “you.” unless she killed Kenny

I don’t remember seeing it, so I may have forgotten, but does Chatelaine ever say anything about being called “omae” or “kisama?” 

To her modern ears, it could potentially be an insult that could lead to a misunderstanding; but to Masamune, who calls her “omae,” and Nobunaga who uses “kisama,” they are both being polite to her, and using the correct terms of their time period.

For English speakers, imagine that you traveled to the 11th century and no one could understand your saying “you,” because that word wouldn’t really catch on for another several hundred years. 

They might think that you’re being rude or even calling them some kind of name!

6-7 months after I started playing this and finally T4 classes unlocked orz

Everyone usually goes for Berserker/Warlock/Sage for their first T4 classes but I went for these first (also Superstar was my most-used T3 class so I was really intent on getting Elysian as one of my first T4 classes)

[translation: yusenki​]

Levi found out that he had mistakenly used Armin’s underwear as wiping cloth

Characters: Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Erwin & Levi

Erwin: What is it?

Armin: It’s about my underwear… when I placed back the examination answer sheet earlier, I thoroughly checked whether I have left any proof (that he sneaked in to Erwin’s office), during that time I didn’t spot my underwear here…

Erwin: That, even if you asked me…

Levi: When you said underwear, did you mean the wipe cloth on your hand?

Armin: Wipe cloth?

Levi: If it is so, then it was me who threw away that wipe cloth (at dustbin in Erwin’s office).

Armin: Captain is?

Levi: I found it on top of the drainage last night while cleaning the public bathroom, so I thought it was a wipe cloth and use it. After that, I proceeded to clean the dining hall but Erwin called me. Then, because I have been keeping it with me, I just threw it here when I came to Erwin’s office.

Armin: My underwear was used as wipe cloth?

Eren: But it is a relief right?

Mikasa: It is still better than stolen by a pervert.

Armin: But…a wipe cloth?

Eren: Don’t be so sad, Armin. Hey, let’s go!

Levi: Oi, wait!

Erwin: What is it? Please spare me from any further matter.

Levi: That’s not it…so does it mean that I had wiped the dining hall with unwashed Armin’s underwear?

Eren & Armin: [gasp]

Levi: Tch [wipe hand on Eren’s shirt]

Eren: Wait captain! Please don’t wipe your hand on my shirt!

Levi: Eren, the entire dining hall need to be cleaned again and you are going to finish it by lunch time.

Eren: That is impossible! I…I need to study! Right Armin, Mikasa? Say some…why they are not here???

Happy birthday cherrymoyaya !!! I know this is late, but I hope this will cheer you up! You’ve been working hard lately, so enjoy some humor in this gag drama CD!
