Peu à peu mes paysages me quittent

et je n'ai plus d'été en mon cœur.

Ce matin l'hiver a pris mes couleurs,

oriflamme de mon enchantement.

--

Little by little my landscapes are leaving me,

and there is no longer any summer in my heart.

This morning winter has taken my colors,

the banner of my enchantment.

--

Piano piano i miei paesaggi mi abbandonano,

e non ho più l’estate nel cuore.

Questa mattina l’inverno ha preso i miei colori,

vessillo del mio incanto.

Have you ever wondered why Toriko characters have such weird names? | Part 2

My last post focused on Toriko & Komatsu (and Komatsu's chef buddies). Who wants to dig into some SIDE CHARACTERS?

MAJOR SPOILERS UP TO THE END OF TORIKO

Joie (ジョア)

Joie's name is often spelled 'Joa' in fan-translations. Because it's actually pronounced joe-ah in the anime (that Katakana is "jyo + a"). So why spell it Joie?

Well, jyoa is the Japanese pronunciation of what it should be. It's meant to be pronounced /ʒwa/, because 'Joie' is the French word for 'joy'. (Thank Acacia for the Canadian education system)

Now, it's easy to chalk it all up to 'he looks like a jester' or possibly that he's a mockery of the joy that should've been felt when Froese was 'revived'. But it goes deeper than that when we take a look at Froese herself...

Froese (フローゼ)

This struck me as really, really weird because Froese is an actual surname... but the origin is actually German. But hey, if Shimabukuro was willing to whack out the French dictionary for Joie, why not?

I can't find a reputable source on this, but it seems that the origin of the surname Froese (in the real world) is commonly believed to be from Old German meaning 'joyful' or 'cheerful'.

Wait, go back. Joyful.

Joyful. Joy. Joie.

Teppei (鉄平)

This is... an actual Japanese name. The first Kanji in his name means 'iron', like the element.

The second Kanji in his name... well... this is a little odd. If you look it up, the definition will come up as 'flattened', which is true. But it can also mean something mediocre/common, or a person of a low-rank (novice, freshman, etc).

Maybe Shimabukuro was just picking random names for some characters. Maybe there's something to say about Teppei's iron-clad focus (when he's actually getting a chance to be a badass) but he's still a novice at his skills, or a novice at 'getting in the zone' considering his tendency to get distracted/go on tangents. I'm just spitballing these last ideas.
