Servamp chapter 144 translation "Alicein Mikuni-JUDGEMENT

READ THE CHAPTER ON MANGADEX!

Translation notes:

Page 11

He's most likely referring to his ability “Coppelius Coppelia" from chapter 122 .

Page 16

Perhaps some of you recognize who is talking in the last panel. I assume it must be Mikuni, but I'm not certain...If it might sound familiar to you, please let me know!

Page 22

"I knew that would happen". "To know" was the furigana reading while the other reading was 'to predict/to estimate"

Page 25

Oh boy, I had some trouble understanding what Mikuni was trying to say because of a word that he uses that needs explaining.

If I'm right, he was commenting on what Kuro told him about Germain in regard to turning back time. Mikuni is apparently saying that Germaine failed to rewind time, most likely because he was affected by Kuro's death and perhaps and this is just my speculation, he had to more complicated magic stuff. Perhaps if he didn't revive Kuro as soon as possible, he was going to loose him forever.

Mikuni said the word 渦中 which can be translated as (in the middle of a) scandal; controversy; quarrel; turmoil. It also has the meanings of "maelstrom, vortex."

So yeah, the word is often used metaphorically to describe being caught in the middle of a difficult or chaotic situation.

Last page

Mikuni calls it the 'first round' and here's a fun fact. While looking to see how it could be translated, I found the term used in the context of video games, so it's basically "'first playthrough" and when the kanji for number 2 is used 二周目 it means 'new game plus'.

If Mikuni was known to be a gamer like Kuro, I could have used those terms xD

Lastly, the line at the bottom of the page, "Mikuni's 'world' begins..."

The word to start/to begin is commonly written as 始める (hajimeru) but here it is written as 創める which is used more in literary works and it has the nuance of 'creating, founding, establishing'.

Tanaka-sensei once again chose a word that reflects a theme.

The Book of Genesis in Japanese is written 創世記 and as you can see, the first kanji is the one I explained earlier.

So yeah, hope you liked these notes and let me know your thoughts about the chapter!

These two pages are the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I hope opla doesn't change this because it's so telling about how naive Chopper's views are about everything, he will take anything you say to him at face value because he doesn't know any better: he is very young and not human, of course his thinking is this literal.

Also, I'm obsessed with Kureha's expresion when she reveals the truth because she was so nonchalant, even cruel to Hiruluk before this but she's deeply affected by the idea of losing him; even more because she thought he had more time, she made sure of it after all.
