Sousou no Frieren - Vol. 3 Ch. 27 - The Priest of the Ordinary Village

[deathpad]

why Frieren doesn't learn healing magic?

 

[wickerbottom]

@deathpad maybe Frieren specialist in destruction kind of magic so she cannot learn healing magic anymore. It's like if you big and strong like bear you can't become sneaky or fast like fox. And that why redmage, black mage, white mage exist

 

[Shad0wReaper133]

@wickerbottom So you're saying translations don't matter then? Also, citation please on your claim.

@Shad0wReaper133 Japanese 毒 doku - Chinese 毒 Dú - Korean 독 dog - Vienamese Độc
Yes, translations don't matter , requires too much effort and knowledge both culture for fan trans

 

[edgarsc19]

so there is only 1 member left assuming fern is the replacement of frieren as a mage, stark as eisen replacement, and sein as heiter replacement
only a hero figure like himmel left

 

[wickerbottom]

@edgarsc19 Then who frieren replacement to? What kind of hero waiting for another come to him??? What purpose of hero in this era?And why the fuck we need a hero in this OP party?

 

[Seihanda]

@edgarsc19 or maybe Freiren is Himmel replacement

"I'm a freaking thousand years old" is a pretty good counter-argument for just about anything, if you think about it.

 

[Shad0wReaper133]

@wickerbottom So you're saying the English translators understanding the rules of their own language is too difficult and requires too much effort? What?

The introduction of the new character felt forced n came outta nowhere

 

[gundulgondrong]

this is such basic story. but for some reason, i like it.
it's like old school JRPG. and the colored art also like old school JRPG cover.
God im in love.

Full party, Frieren is the Hero now.

Feels a little sudden though, Fern and Stark both had at least a few chapters buildup before joining...

Thought Sein's childhood friend might be the elf monk, but the ears are wrong

 

[emmie_dee]

page 19: Fern giving her coat to be worn by a naked Stark?

When's the wedding?

 

[wickerbottom]

@Shad0wReaper133 There is at least 5 time word "poison" used, how you translate it? You use word venom or poison or both? How you could make it not confuse to reader.

New supporting character acquired*

 

[Ulfhednar]

Venom and poison is western language thing

Not even that. It's an English thing. The other Germanic languages don't have it, and afaik, neither do the Romanic and Celtic ones.

Also, more importantly, the common JRPG term is "poison". The term "venom" is almost never used, and when it is, it usually refers to a stronger or incurable type of poison.
As this series is based on JRPGs, using their terms makes sense. Just like nobody would complain if some character addresses somebody as "Master", "Teacher" or "Sensei" instead of using the person's name like you would in proper English.

 

[Kdom]

neither do the Romanic

French does. There is even 2 adjectives for venemous if it is a plan or an animal :-)

 

[Kizuro]

Now that I think about it, the Hero looks extremely familiar with a certain character named Second-kun

 

[danvolodar]

@Ulfhednar neither do the Slavic languages, to the best of my knowledge.
All in all, I feel that enforcing the distinction between poison and venom, as if it's some key difference, is a very weak argument, bordering on trolling. See, for instance, BBC writing about venomous snakes: "One snake's poison may not be like another's, even if they are from the same species." At the end of the day, the purpose of a translation is making the original author's meaning understandable in another language. Would it have been better had venom been translated as "venom", not "poison"? Yeah. Has this small irregularity kept anyone from understanding what the intended meaning was? Not at all. So it's just not a big deal.

@emmie_dee Stark will now have to keep the cloak, same as he had to keep the handkerchief Fern gave him to wipe blood while fighting the demons! With time, Stark will have to haul around a whole second set of Fern's clothing, cause throwing it away will feel ungrateful, and Fern won't take the items with his cooties on them back!
