The sub version I have is translated as "earthen fist". "Crumbling dirt" sounds good, what do the translators say though?

Did someone undo my edits? I thought I missed a discrepancy in the past/present tense near the beginning, then I saw that everything I had changed was back to the old version.

I came across this, I have no clue what to think. What do you mean by "admonishes" in this passage?
Spoiler! :
Saito held his breath. Louise was dressed in a white evening gown with her long, strawberry blonde hair tied up into a pony tail. Her hands were covered by pure white gloves which admonishes her grandeur. Her petite face admonished by her low cut evening gown made her sparkle like a gem.

It would be to "amplify" or "pronounce", though the definition of the word says otherwise. :?

ad·mon·ish (d-mnsh)
tr.v. ad·mon·ished, ad·mon·ish·ing, ad·mon·ish·es
1. To reprove gently but earnestly.
2. To counsel (another) against something to be avoided; caution.
3. To remind of something forgotten or disregarded, as an obligation or a responsibility.

re·prove (r-prv)
tr.v. re·proved, re·prov·ing, re·proves
1. To voice or convey disapproval of; rebuke. See Synonyms at admonish.
2. To find fault with.

*Edit*
Spoiler! :
Unless they want to say that she wasn't grand at all, but that doesn't seem to be what they were trying to point out. Maybe "Her petit face didn't fit the cute gown she was wearing."? /shrugs
