Sword Art Online - Names and Terminology

[BeginnerXP]

Thank you very much for pointing it out and correcting them. In JP version, the first instance of it, author gave furigana telling readers to read the term as Spell Blast, then the other two author just used the kanji normally, assuming readers already knew how they should read it.

Yeah, but Fuurinzakan is not just a guild name, it was Takeda Shingen's motto, thus being kinda different.

WWFM is the official abbreviated name for it though, heh.

Just took a quick glance at the name. I can just say that I don't care, it's their choice (a strange one, though).

Edit 3 : ... I also found "Caynz" instead of "Kains"... but we didn't see the wall's scene, so that's a possible reason.

Just wondering, but what was KoB?
And those two names don't require any actual checking, since they were given in English in the novel.

"Knights of the Blood" ("Chevaliers du Sang" in French) was translated as "Confrérie des Chevaliers" ("Brotherhood of Knights" in English). I think that it was adapted like this by the new proofreader (taking place of the current one during holidays). I'll keep the English name in my translations, though.

Aside from the Kains/Caynz matter (which was removed in the anime, so there's no problem here), the dates are different in the anime. The story (aside the beginning), started on April 11th. In the LN, it started on April 22nd. It's strange, but there is no need to change the dates in the LN.

I tried searching through the English script but couldn't find it, where did you find it (maybe the script I used for searching is outdated)?

[Tap]

Nah, it was in ME1.
Not on the wiki, so there's no way you would find it there.

Also, slightly offtopic, but I'm interested in that script.
More info on it, please?

And I wonder if they pressed the second button on the keyboard twice.
They changed it from a Monday to a Thursday, though I doubt that means anything...

[BeginnerXP]

Oh, saw it after searching through all dialogs for a few times, 'Registered in the system as WWFM but no one uses it' haha. So let's forget about it.

That English script I mentioned was my own SAO PDFs, but I haven't update them for a while so they're kinda outdated, especially the recent mass name changes. I'm remaking them this past few days (too free, nothing else to do...), if you want, I'll send you the links when I finished remaking all volumes.

Also, do you mind if I add ME1+3 into them as well?

Just watched the UTW subbed version, I really like their translations vs the Horriblesubs version. Is there a way to remove the karaoke? it sorta clutters up the opening, but that's just nitpicking I guess.

HorribleSubs doesn't have typesetting. Commie, EveTaku, UTW, Cynic and Hadena have them, though I strongly advise you to not touch Hadena.

Karaoke problems is likely because of the xy-filter or whatever it's called that you probably didn't install, like many others.

BTW, "Knights of the Blood" or "Knights of Blood"?

[Pryun]

Blood Knights. or Bloody Knights. Or maybe "knights that will make you bloody"

Jokes aside, Both sound reasonable, but I prefer Knights of Blood.

[BeginnerXP]

As KoB is official abbreviation, it's safer to stick to Knights of Blood, I couldn't recall author put full name of KoB in plain English, always either KoB or kanji.

[Mystes]

Then we will need to change all volumes (except maybe the later ones) to "Knights of Blood".

[BeginnerXP]

Oh, I always under impression that we're already using Knights of Blood, I did use Knights of Blood in my part of volume 9, after all.

Let's see opinion from others first, before doing the change.

[Mystes]

Yeah, I didn't notice it neither until UTW's translator said that we were using it.

Anyone against the change?

[Ushwood]

I'm for Knights of Blood.

[Misogi]

Same here.

I'll try to watch SAO now, if no one bother me.

[Pryun]

Bother

Wait, I don't see the problem of us using Knights of Blood... is there something I'm missing?
