Sword Art Online - Names and Terminology

[Pryun]

hmm..

Severe cold: link to the part? no context, no idea where it is from either...

Gnome Territory: without the s and ' at all looks reasonable to me. there is no need for the possessive... unless its in katakana or something. who wants to check? but worst case scenario it should be gnomes' territory

permeate as in permeate... cold doesn't infiltrate...

yes, I agree the last part can be rephrased. give a suggestion. brain too lazy to work extra.

[M.A.D]

From Volume 7 Chapter 6:

Kirito's specialty in old Aincrad was to use the sword skills to attack the weak points of the enemy's weapons instead of attacking the enemy, the outside system skill called «Arms Blast» Though that amazing skill itself required superhuman reflexes and extremely intricate aiming skills, it was harder to slice spells here in ALO.

And from Volume 1 Chapter 7:

Another result of two weapons colliding was «Weapon Break». It only had a chance of happening when a weapon received a heavy blow to a weak part of its structure.

Could some translator check if the terms «Weapon Break» and «Arms Blast» are the same or different words? And if they're the same, could you decide on using only one?

[Pryun]

just the description shows they are different.... look, arms blast is kirito's OSS where he targets a weapon to break, weapon break is an occurrence which happens when two weapons colllide (nothing to do with skills, can happen to anyone)

[BeginnerXP]

Both in volume 1 & 7 used the same kanji 武器破壊, but only volume 7 gave furigana 'Arm Blast'.

[Pryun]

... the description is hella different though. is it only a kirito skill? or is it not?

[BeginnerXP]

I have no idea, but I guess Arm Blast is something possible in the system but very hard to pull off, and not appear as actual skill to players.

Edited: Yes, after checking Kirito's skills in ME2, there's no mention of weapon break or arm blast there.

[M.A.D]

Yeah, in volume 7 it's described as a skill not included in the system, so of course it's not listed in ME2. Speaking of which, Kirito's hand-to-hand combat skill isn't listed in ME2 either. Instead, I'm seeing something called "Sprint". Could you check that as well, please? Maybe comparing it to the hand-to-hand skill in Kuradeel or Heathcliff's profile to see if they are the same thing.

Also, Pryun, OSS are Original Sword Skills that are registerred in the system by players, so neither <<Arms Blast>> nor <<Magic Blast>> are actual OSS. They are more like feats. And yes, <<Weapon Break>> is described as an occurence, but I believe only Kirito can intentionally cause it to an opponent while keeping his own weapon intact. It's a hard enough feat to be called a skill outside the system

[Tap]

Go with either Arm Blast or Arms Blast for both.
Arm Blast since they're both referring to the same thing and it's in furigana, or Arms for improved English.
It refers to how Kirito fights, when aiming for the weapon rather than the player, to break the opponent's weapon.
It's an outside-system skill, or rather, a fighting style, so there's no way it would be mentioned in any sort of skill list.

Sprint is Sprint. Or Dash. Or some other equivalent word.
As for Kirito's hand-to-hand combat skill (taijutsu), he didn't have it back in the web novel, so that's probably the main reason for it not being in ME2.

[BeginnerXP]

I just noticed author used the different kanji in ME2/ME7
ME2 - 格闘 - Hand-to-hand combat
ME7 - 体術 - Martial art

While I don't know if ME7 is the revised name by author or not, but I wanna read Heathcliff & Agil's edition of their attempts on the quest (Heathcliff probably cheated and bypassing it though).

[Ushwood]

I wanna read Heathcliff & Agil's edition of their attempts on the quest

I don't think it was that difficult. The task of stone-crushing is obviously STR-oriented, so if STR-built Agil took it when being several levels higher than Kirito in "Aria Continuation", he'd do it easily.

[User753]

Greetings.
No doubt about Agil's easy attempt,just wondering about his reaction and the '-mon in the usually serious,calm,and composed Agil(I think I use the same meaning words twice)
I wonder if Kirito'd tell Asuna on the later chapter of Rondo about that...
Btw,in this episode are there several corrections that need to be made?

[Pryun]

I see. Then go ahead.

@user753 what episode?

[Misogi]

Btw,in this episode are there several corrections that need to be made?

Ugh, this reminded me that I still have to post my update on Episode 4... sorry, I was sick and away from my computer, so I'll merge it with Episode 5 (mainly because Episode 4 is easy to analyze).

Sorry, I don't mean it to be like that. We hoe that you'll get well soon.

@Pryun: I mean episode 4 of SAO's anime. A Murder Case inside the Area.

[Pryun]

But... Episode 4, Scilica, black swordsman, murder case, episode 5, brain, severely lost, damaged, can't type out full sentence anymore, Arglebarglebargh

On a more serious scale, really, which episode are you talking about?
