Talk:Baka to Tesuto to Syokanju:Volume2 The First Question

(While very happy at the continued translation of this, I would like to question the translation 'Mussulini'. The nickname in question seems at least partially related to the term 'むっつり(P); むっと(P) (adv,n,vs,adv-to) (on-mim) sullen; morose; offended', and the prior translation of 'Silent Pervert' (regarding quietness/constant denial of obviousness) or a Voyeur-related translation seems to make much more sense as a nickname than the name of an Italian dictator, unless there's confirmation in a book itself that the nickname comes from said Italian.)

A quick reply

From wikipedia:

Kōta Tsuchiya is the ultimate pervert in Fumizuki. He has a dark taciturn personality, and as such, he's given the nickname Morose Pervert (ムッツリーニ Mutsurīni?), implicitly derived from Mutsuri (むっつり?) to form a parody for Mussolini (ムッソリーニ?). But even though he is very perverted, nobody, even the girls, seem to mind this side of him. While Kōta is uncommunicative by nature, he is part of class F's inner circle group of Yūji, Akihisa, Mizuki, Minami, and Hideyoshi. He is terrible at all subjects except for Health Education, in which few students, if any, could come close. Because of Kōta's extreme high score in Health Education, partly attributed to his wealth of knowledge of the human anatomy, especially that of females, his Shōkanjū carries an accessory, during battles in Health Education, that allows the Shōkanjū to perform an accelerated move. In the novel, he is also shown to be an expert in sneaking, gathering information, cunning, and many forms photography, whether it be hidden or not. In the anime, he has a habit of taking panty shots whenever the opportunity arises and to record all the girls' bust sizes in Fumizuki Academy. His Shōkanjū wears a ninja outfit and dual-wields Kodachi. His Shōkanjū wears a modified hakama and sports a short ponytail during the ESB field error.
