ばか！バカ！　馬鹿ー月！

INCREDIBLE, you finshed chapter 4 just two days ago and already done with chapter 5, I salute you.
lol make that 4 in one thread XD
I wasn't sure if all that needed to go in a spoiler thingy, the first half most people should know.

Great job dark, I'm looking forward to reading more about Louise now!

The lord of the rings borrows both Gandralf and Vindalfr names from north mythology. They were the names of dwarfs. Note that norse dwarfs are not like our modern idea of dwarfs. Now being of norse heritage i probly should know more about this but i dont, sorry. I really dont understand the japanese obsession with norse mythology, its in freaking everything it seems. I was able to get a break down of gandalfs name though, it means something like spirit protector... although acually: alf = elf and gandr= wand. Oh yea and dwarfs in norse mythology have a strong link to elves.. the evil ones.

Bah im done rabbling, anime normally takes a loose interpretation of norse meaning with it characters and such so i wouldnt read much into it. BTW i cant wait for ZnT's Ragnarök! =)

WOW what amazing speed . yesterday i took a look at the chapter and it wasn't even translated 1% and today its finished. Great job Dark.

Gandalfr, Vindalfr, and Myozunitonirun are the familiars.

Tiffa is a void mage. Not a void familiar.

Louise - Gandalfr (Saito)
Pope - Vindalfr (Julio)
Joseph - Myozunitonirun (Sheffield)
Tiffania - ????

Can anyone remind me how was the whole Tiffania's family explanation scene done in the anime? (I always keep forgetting anime scenes - they are just too forgettable)

hehe.. I guess I'm not sharp enough when I have 2 important test coming.. and don't have much time to look through the chapter to find the person in question..

ah but I've got 1 theory though

awesome, chapter 5 already done
excellent work dark!

Lolz. At this rate, I think we can get the sufficient numbers to set up a Darknemo's Fan club, or else a shrine like Haruhi's... XD

lol that make so much sense, I feel slow now, I need to start reading a bit more carefully.
Also, when is Joseph introduced? BTW I have only watched the first season of the anime, it was a bit disappointing.

Aww so the names don't actually have that much of a deeper meaning, to bad would have made the story a bit more interesting

Joseph = king of Gallia
introduced: Vol 7 Chapter Eight: King Of Gallia

Well this is all from memory but, it was done fairly fast and badly. It just wound up being explained by the Queen saying Tifa is her cousin (introducing her father as a duke) and that her mother was an elf and died. There was probably a little more but it was basically when Tifa/Louise/Agnes/Saito finally returned and they introduced Tifa to Henrietta.
