From now one I'll be posting in here regarding any issues I came across during translation of Kara no Kyoukai. If you spot any issues feel free to post in here too.
This thread is NOT for discussion of the story and is only to be used for translation errors and questions.
For starters I'll be asking for someone to find some Kanji for me XD Does anyone have the Kanji or Hiragana equivalent for Shikigami? And another kanji for that one that looks like a six on it's side. As for some of the other missing words in PP6 I'll draw them up on Paint and put them up for people to look at later. Help would be appreciated!

Re: Translation Notes
I have the japanese raws in .doc/.txt. I can take a look at them and copy/paste the kanjis.

Re: Translation Notes
Thank you for these. Now I just have to figure out what some of these mean. For example Touko goes on about how something is divided into two somethings, then four somethings, and finally eight somethings. But, Nasu used some weird concepts from Taoism or something and while you get the general idea I frankly have NO idea what they mean.

Re: Translation Notes
Just for kicks:
八卦
Taoism believes in two ends, positive and negative, known as Yin and Yang, which most would understand,
from two, it splits into four, then eight, that is what 八卦 means, Naruto has Hyuga family and their gentle fist fighting are based on that concept... 8 splits to 16, to 32, to 64, thats what he meant by his 64hits...
P.S. 2,4,8,16,32, 64... sounds familiar? well, after that is 128 and 256, 512, just like our computer numbers... coincidence? or...?

God!!
You need not forgive me.
For those I love,
The violence brought about by sinful men
Shall now be used once more.
If you were created to save this world,
If there is a single shred of hope left for the future of mankind,
I am very sorry, but, please begone!
