There are some traductions that are just so wrong. For example when Yoh says “I’m sure I’d kill every damn human”, he actually says something in the lines of “im sure the human race would get extinct”. Obviously the second is more Yoh’s nature, so carefree that he may f up things for humans... and the reaction of the girl makes more sense too...

@Danox94 That’s disappointing. Mankin-Trad basically scans all Shaman King-related mangas. I wonder if the mistranslations affect the plot.

@Danox94 Is Yoh's statement to Hao near the end of Shaman King also a mistranslation? Chapter 298, Yoh pretty much states and agrees with Hao. After Hao states he will kill all humans Yoh responds with "I don't like humans that much either."

Yeah, I had that same thought, but in both statement ("id kill every damn human" and "the human race would get extinct") although the "meaning" is the same (that he would wipe human race), it's the way of saying it that rubs the wrong way. I know Yoh is carefree and all, but saying it so lightly and without an ominous voice it's just weird. Also the fact that the girl says "Amazing, you say pretty incredible stuff" after hearing a child say kill every damn human doesn't match so much, but the second is more like a reflection. Idk if i completly explain myself
