Oh right. On the forum, we were discussing what the term リザ would mean in the prologue by Sora. Mind clarifying that? —[[User:EnigmaticRepose|EnigmaticRepose]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticRepose|talk]]) 22:26, 4 August 2013 (CDT)
:(*looks*)  Ah, page 15.  If I had to guess without checking I'd go for 'resurrect', but game-slang confirmation is needed.  [Edit--My doubt was because by default I would have guessed that 'resurrect' should begin with レ, but as found below it seems that barrier doesn't exist.]<br>

:The context of this looks close, but the usage doesn't seem to fit. http://www18.atwiki.jp/live2ch/pages/35.html#id_cf16d76b<br>

:(*checks the text again*) That 'Shubaaaa...Kyurin!' definitely sounds like a resurrection cast(/action) time and success sound effect.  (Plus matching that the character died, and the understanding that the same four characters are used throughout the battle.)  --Ah!  Circumstantial evidence found!  The katakana for 'Resurrection' (in game titles such as http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B009VUPZGY et cetera) is 'リザレクション'!  Whether or not リザ is an easily-found widely-used shorthand, it is entirely plausible that it could be made, and given the context this is probably the most likely explanation for what Sora is saying.  *joy*

:（*investigates a little more*）　Ahh.  Both 'レザレクション' and 'リザレクション' are valid katakana versions of the word (according to this page), with 'リザ' here presumably a shortening of the second.  http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/レザレクション<br>

:Edit:  As as suggestion for the translated Prologue, particularly to fit with English game slang, I would probably suggest 'Rez', with a note at the bottom explaining the Resurrect shortening. https://support.perfectworld.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1729/~/rez---resurrect<br>

:*Ah, thanks. The only term I could relating to リザ was a technical term for [http://www18.atwiki.jp/live2ch/pages/23.html#id_cf16d76b　streaming] using Windows Media Encoder, as unhelpful as that is. The sad part is I could see them doing the streaming bit though so they could could share views, seeing as they have like 10 monitors. I even tried looking for shortened term of 復活 to see if there was anything like that, but looking up Japanese terminology is a hell of a lot harder than it is for English for some reason (we have sites dedicated to explaining our nonsense, though). It probably also didn't help I was set on Resurrection being spelled レザレクション, once again forgetting Japan doesn't tend to have one set spelling for loan words. Learning this language is a headache. Gonna go ahead and change it in the volume 1 translations then, since I was the main cause it wasn't. —[[User:EnigmaticRepose|EnigmaticRepose]] ([[User talk:EnigmaticRepose|talk]]) 03:37, 6 August 2013 (CDT)
:::An understandable red herring.  Counterevidence for it would be the lack of any other mentioning of showing to others, the lack of relevance to one's character dying (especially no reason to want to stream when one's /own/ character dies), and the 'urban legend' status which is consistent with many people encountering Kuuhaku, but less consistent with them operating a media portal or similar showing off their exploits (in the first place, they're hardly that social).  'Fukkatsu' probably can't be shortened much, and would presumably have different syllables if it were.  As noted above, I was caught out by the predicted-romanization matter as well, and only caught it when casting a wide net for anything relevant (based on predicted context).  I'm glad to have been of help! -[[User:Multipartite|Multipartite]] ([[User talk:Multipartite#top|talk]]) 04:50, 7 August 2013 (CDT)
