Could you kindly fill us in on honorifics generally used between characters in the novel? I can see director Ho using -nim referring to Soleum but otherwise English fan translation usually opts for "Mr." or "sir" etc.
Ok so when I say honorifics I usually refer to 존댓말 which not only includes how people refer to each other but also includes the vocab they use, how they end their sentences etc,. I looked it up and the whole thing is apparently usually translated as 'honorifics' 🤷
Also, if you just want to look at how they all refer to each other, this document has the full list. I'm also looking at the document as I write the below.
With that out of the way...
How people talk to Sol (use of honorifics)
* for characters that refer to each other with their rank, sometimes they add surname or full name to the rank. For example, Assistant manager Eun-nim (eun daeri-nim). I've omitted all these, it's there in the document.
* contains spoilers up to 277
* Soleum, when talking to other people, usually uses respectful sentence endings, and usually the more formal form of it (~습니다).
- Sol to LSH uses Supervisor-nim (juim-nim) -> later he was told to refer to her just as Dolphin (dolgorae-nim/ssi)
8. J3
- uses respectful sentence endings (~요)
* squad B leader used casual sentence endings.
- Hey (jeogi), Roe deer-ssi (noru-ssi)
* squad B leader used 'employee dragon' (yong sawon)
- Sol to J3 initially used Sergeant-nim (banjang-nim) but now mostly uses Jay-ssi
9. Kwak Jegang
- used old fashioned sentence ending for referring to your youngers (~하게) -> now uses respectful, formal sentence ending (~습니다)
- You (old fashioned way of referring to your youngers) (jahne), Soleum-ssi, Roe Deer-ssi (noru-ssi) etc -> 130666, you (more respectful) (dangshin), employee-nim (jikwon-nim)
- Sol to Kwak used to use Chief-nim (gwajang-nim), now no longer of course lol he just orders him around without referring to him
10. Ho Yuwon
- uses respectful sentence endings, a mixture of ~요 and ~습니다
- Soleum-nim, Roe deer-nim (noru-nim)
* he uses -ssi for other employees so this is notable
- Sol to Ho used to use Director-nim (isa-nim), again he hasn't since becoming 130666 lol
11. Cheong Dallae
- Uses old fashioned sentence ending for referring to your youngers (~하게)
- Supervisor Soleum (Soleum juim), You (old fashioned way of referring to your youngers) (jahne)
- Sol to Cheong used Managing director-nim (상무님)
12. Braun
- uses respectful sentence endings, a mixture of ~요 and ~습니다
- Roe deer-ssi (noru-ssi), Soleum-ssi, Friend
- Sol to Braun initially used Host-nim (sahoeja-nim), now it's Braun, you (casual) (neo), friend
* Sol uses casual speech to Braun. Braun offered right after their initial meeting that he could, and Sol accepted. Braun himself always uses respectful sentence endings due to his profession (with a couple of notable exceptions when he got mad at LJH)
13. Ryu Jaekwan
- uses respectful, formal sentence endings (~습니다)
- civillian-nim (shimin-nim) -> you (more respectful) (dangshin), Kim Soleum-ssi -> Agent Grape (podo yowon)
- Sol to Bronze uses Agent-nim (yowon-nim), Agent Bronze-nim (Cheongdong yowon-nim)
I think that Jaheon wasn’t originally part of “Us”
novel spoilers for part 2 ahead so please tread lightly…
i’m using the edited MTL version from the gdrive so please correct me if there are any mistakes!
First off, how does “Us” reproduce?
In Chapter 292 in the novel, it is is shown that the way that “Us” colonies are created is the same process as how the egg mood lamp soleum acquired works, which is that it
requires genetic samples of a subject (blood and hair) mxed in a saline solution from a living organism which may or may not be from a member of the union itself, but can also be from an different species as soleum was able to become a member of “Us” if he allowed it, even through artificial means
proliferates “ like a fungi or bacteria forming a cluster and growing” which suggests it may act as some sort of ‘infection’ that creates new members throughout the universe
the lizard head acquired by each of the members is hidden by some sort of illusion that masks their appearance as an alien that is shown to deceive humans and even Darknesses (which is most likely a reference to Robert E. Howards “Into the shadow kingdom” but I digress) EXCEPT for Soleum
Which is why it is suspicious since Soleum’s second go around in “into the shadow”, he mentions LJH appearing “Strangely... as a boy in a lizard mask” having “black hair” and “[looking] human”.
Moreover, the fact that no higher ups in daydream have ever questioned his alliance to the coalition aside from his eccentric personality suggests that he was specifically stationed by the coalition for some unknown reason( maybe to see what tools daydream employees use on the job??? scouting for a new earth colony???) because he already had a human identity to use as his backstory as to why he joined daydream inc, and that his current sporty look of white hair and red eyes may have been a side effect of the formation of his alien body through biological means and not with the alien mood lamp
Ultraman Z (Ultraman Z) vs Kim Soleum (Got Dropped Into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work)
Ultraman Z
Kim Soleum
Remaining time: 5 hours 13 minutes
Propaganda under cut:
Ultraman Z
t's just kinda funny, I doubt it has even slightly as much connection as omega did but it'd be funny to see
He has a form called Beta Smash. It is Beta and it Smashes.
He is 52 metres and 35000 tonnes.
As Beta Smash he gains 7000 tonnes in weight to 42000 tonnes.
In his normal form he is described as a "hollow person" and only 1/3 of a hero meaning compared to his peers he is painfully average, and there's nothing special about him as an Ultra. He isn't exceptional in academics either, and struggles in class.
Despite all of that he has a determined and upbeat attitude and defeated the final kaiju in his series in normal form.
Kim Soleum
hes such an in between of alpha and omega that there is no other way to classify that man. hes just a Beta.
since hes from another world that presumably is close to ours he wouldn't be omega or alpha when he ended up there, making him a beta
