Something was bugging me about Akane's name the last day or two, so I finally went back and looked up the meaning of it. Memories from way back when I was taking Japanese kept telling me that name seemed symbolic. While I can't be completely sure without seeing the kanji, the only two readings of Akane show up as 'madder' or 'red dye', with madder being an herb whose leaves are used to make red dye. So that's pretty cut and dried, unless it's a nonstandard kanji or something. Owari was what was bugging me, because I knew that meant 'the end'. There's a little more behind it, such as being a province name in Japan and a historical name in the Sengoku era, however. It's entirely possible I'm overthinking this. But, the literal reading of Owari, Akane (Japanese tradition of surname first) comes out to the end, red dye. This would be eerily appropriate if that is Asahina, considering the resolve she was filled with when Sakura died.

So I'd say you're overthinking things. I had the idea earlier that Togami could die of a heart attack at any point and set off a huge rush of Death Note references. Its not something I'd put past this series if it is going to go for a fake-out trial again.

There are very marked similarities, but I have a feeling this is just to lead us into thinking we know something about what will happen to them, when we really don't. It was supposedly intended for people who played the first game, and DR1 certainly messed with expectations a lot.

A lot of times, the Kanji used in names has some significance, although with how much Dangan Ronpa throws away expectations, I could be wrong in its relevance here. Then again in the first one, some names had big significance. Makoto means Truth, for example, and Kirigiri had the kanji for Fog and Cutter, cutting through the fog in the trials so Makoto can find the truth. It's sort of like naming a strong character in an American story "Kratos", which literally means strength, or naming a beautiful baby girl "Ruby" or "Pearl". It gives the characters personality and an identity before you meet them, even if it's a total subversion, like these names probably are. Right now, I don't know what the Kanji in everyone's names mean and I'm afraid of checking for spoilers. If it isn't too much trouble, orenronen, could you make a note of what the Kanji in the names are in one of your next translation updates?

orenronen posted:Puchipuchi is the actual Japanese term for bubble wrap. Well, I guess technically it's called Kihoukanshouzai, but no one actually calls it that.  puchi-puchi is also used as an onomatopoeia (in Japanese) for the sound of popping bubble wrap. couldn't tell you if the brand or the sound came first, though. You can see it used as kind of a pop/squish noise for other purposes as well. Anties, for example, also make a puchi sound when you push on their tummies.edit: it's open to interpretation but I posit that rather than bubble wrap specifically she just likes popping things Epoxy Bulletin fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Dec 31, 2012 |

Not-Naegi does seem to have some differences with the one we know. He's certainly less naive than Naegi. Fatogami being a completely different person would be fantastic though. Perfect way to mess with people's expectations.

QuarkJets posted:That's very interesting! Well then, I guess it confirms that she's probably the same age as everyone else and is just short. It makes a fun comparison when you realize that with Hiyoko and Kuzuryuu, we have two markedly baby-faced characters in the same group. I can only hope the game will capitalize on this by having them interact over it, because it could be pretty darn funny with how differently they both come at the issue.

Akane (potentially) has the kanji for "red" in it; Aoi means "blue".

It could be just Monobear acting independently. Oh wait, no, it can't be either of those things, because that post was phrased in a way that confirms either of those aren't true. It's a singular "mastermind". I know, I know, I'm being overly sensitive, nitpicking, whatever. Leaving the thread. Don't worry about it.

The section is called "好きなもの", and everything under it in every one of these cards is a noun phrase.

I know the titles from the OST for DR1 had some, like "Motorcycle Death Cage" spoiling Mondo's execution. Yes, several track titles are spoilers. However, if you only have the original Japanese track listing (i.e. not the transliterated or translated track names you sometimes see on the net), you need to know at least katakana to get any of the spoilers.

I was wondering if "Miss Monomi's Practice Lesson" was a spoiler title the first few times we saw it, since she calls herself Usami. But on actually thinking about it, it could just be a reference to DR1. Plus you can see Usami with a pink/white Monobear split and a single red eye in the opening, so whatever.

I still don't see the similarities between Owari and Asahina beyond that they both have body types that really don't work with their given SHSL talent. If anything, she kind of looks more like a female Hagakure to me, and her personality seems lifted right from Leon.The Dark Id posted:I kind of hope every one of these DR1 similar characters actually turn out to have gently caress all to do with the crew from the first game.

While this series does have a habit of playing with expectations, I can't help but feel that the Togamis from DR1 and SDR2 have some connection other than name, because of all of the subtle similarities between the two. It doesn't have to be a "the two Togamis are the same person!" deal but I think it'll be covered in the story eventually. That being said, it would definitely be hilarious if they had no connection whatsoever (other than name and mannerisms, of course).

Adding to the words of caution: If you have a youtube account, even if you're watching all of oren's videos through polsy, beware the recommendations, especially on the front page! The titles aren't a problem if you don't know Japanese, but the thumbnails can potentially be dangerous. I have a hunch this only happens because polsy forgets to set privacy-enhanced mode when embedding the video, but I'm not entirely sure. EDIT: Confirmed.

Memories from way back when I was taking Japanese kept telling me that name seemed symbolic. That's an interesting idea! I actually get the opposite impression from the meaning of Akane's name, though; it seems to me that if there's any significance to it, it's that it shows the contrast between her and Asahina. Akane is associated with the color red, while - if I remember right - Aoi is associated with blue and other cool colors. (From what I can tell, the character that Asahina uses to write her given name - 葵 - isn't the same Aoi - 青い - used when talking about colors, but homonyms are pretty much what puns are made of.) So introducing Akane by linking her to red, whereas Aoi's name was linked to blue, could be a subtle way for the creators to tell the player that, despite their physical similarities, the two characters are very different. Maybe even complete opposites! Overanalysis is also a possibility.
