Deathwar = desuwa xD since the mom is trying to Mari and Momri speaks English when she flies her copper at Aqours
I never thought they’d result to the old desu/death pun (for those who aren’t familiar with it: the sentence ending desu/です happens to sound exactly the same as the Japanese pronunciation of the English word death/デス)...but to take it a step further and make “desuwa” into “DEATHWAR”...I can’t believe it. My pun-loving side is so proud of LL right now.
I LOVE IT 👌 THAT’S WHAT I’M GONNA CALL HER FROM NOW ON
Yeah, so far it looks like the third years going “missing” is them directly reacting to Mari’s impending marriage and nyooming off to Italy. Hilarious that Kanan and Dia are being painted as kidnappers here, since usually it’s Mari that would be dragging them into weird happenings.
Well. Except for the school idol thing back when they were first years. Dia and Kanan were the ones who dragged her into that back then...so maybe Momri is using that as a basis for making Mari out to be some kind of captured princess. Who knows?
Anyways, while I’m still inclined to give kudos to the LL staff for the great “desuwa/DEATHWAR” pun, a small part of me wonders if someone just made a really bad translation error...nah...there’s no way someone would make a mistake that bad in a movie...
...then again, this is the series that gave us “Daring!!” instead of “Darling!!” so, uh. Hm.
On the subject of Momri and grave mistakes, I actually have another giant question that needs to be answered:
If this lady is supposed to be Mari’s mother...
...then who the heck is this lady from S2E10? Weren’t these two mysterious figures supposed to be her parents?
Well, I guess you could make the argument that this still could be Momri, since the shadowy colors could make her hair look almost dark-brown like it does in this picture...? Or better yet, you could argue that these two are just a butler and a maid, given their stern expressions and formal clothing. Though, that would be kinda weird since the third years were on the subject of Mari’s parents during this flashback.
Still, this doesn’t defeat the most damning piece of evidence. Recall the following from her official character introduction:
Her mother is Japanese, while her father is Italian-American and manages a hotel chain.
Okay, I know LL has a thing about moms looking like slightly modified older clones of their daughters, but seriously? Did they just pull a J.K. Rowling and accidentally make a contradiction official?
I mean...I guess you could argue that despite being a foreigner by blood, her mother could be of Japanese nationality, and would technically be “Japanese” in that sense.
The LL staff definitely knew that the new trailers would spark a whole bunch of questions, but I don’t know if they intended one to be raised over Mari’s parentage. _(:3 」∠)_
One last thing about Momri, though. Given that LL has a track record of hiring famous seiyuu as the voice behind LL moms and sisters (e.g. Nico’s mom being voiced by Mitsuishi Kotono AKA Sailor Moon, Riko’s mom being voiced by Mizuki Nana AKA Ainya’s role model)...
...I wonder which famous seiyuu is voicing Momri? 👀
