LCD Demon Girl ~Tale of a Lax Demon~

I wonder if that "Him" is a certain black beast. lol

 

geh her escort almost half of total escort~ really~

 

Spoiler

Nope. They're alive. xD

 

Yuru become a princess. And I bet "Mefi" is a reference for Mephistopheles.

 

I wonder if the elder sisters are ugly or something, since the knight talked about her being beautiful being the main point for her to be the face of the country...

 

Their personalities are ugly mebe not so much faces. Of course... Nothing matches up to the magnificent golden beast.

 

And there is also the possibility that they're illegitimate child. But of course there is no way they would know that. It's not like they can check their DNA. As if magic can be so convenient to do that... right?

 

next king not decided yet and they have make attempt for right for future husband for future Queen

 

The Hippo flag has been raised people
We must prepare!

 

Hippos really can be scary though. lol

 

Imagine what will those peasants think.

"As expected of Holy Woman! Even the black demonic panther fell to her charm!"

 

First I have never seen or read anything that use devil in plural, nor used to adress a demon. Do show me your source. English book please, do not use asian translated one. SSecond, yes they are different. But 悪魔 is not "devil", it is a title, devil is name or if I ignore the 1st point a specific term like a table a chair. That word is god of evil spirit which Asian has used to describe anything with similar status as the devil. So no unless you are google or translating programe don't do it. Similar exmaple : Japanese call anyone they respect "Sensei" should we translate it to teacher ? No it would sound stupid.

 

How about the various translations of The Bible which use "devils" (plural) to refer to evil spirits (often the gods of other religions)?
The Crucible (A play based on the Salem Witch Trials) has mentions of the word "devils", to refer to Witches (whom are presumably related to the Devil himself).

But here's a Graph by Google that shows "devils" Plural has been used in English literature quite a lot, and has simply been declining (but hasn't disappeared).
Or you can look at the list of (native English) books that has "devils", in their title.

A GOOD translator should be able to write something so that a native speaker can understand what's being said. The word used may be an "evil spirit" in Asian culture, but "devils" are similarly "evil spirits" in European culture.
It's more stupid to call two VERY distinct things by the same name, even though the original text has two different names for them. Leaving it as it is will just confuse readers, and be a sign of bad translation.

 

Hm.. There are more than I thought. Though most these books are new release.
Uhm.... No. The word 悪魔 is God of Evil Spirit, a status similar to The Devil, so you can't use devil here because the Author wrote her to be the higher existent than normal evil spirit, you can't use The Devil either because it is Satan. It is more idiotic to pretend to know something that you don't like you and that smartass Cabman11. It's sound like you 2 only use google translator.

 

I am merely following the fan-translation and my own knowledge of Japanese is very limited, but so far there are two very distinct things that the translation has called "Demons". Neither of which were terms meant specifically for just Yuru.

—There was the entire species of "Demons" (悪魔 akuma) that live in the Spirit Realm, and Yuru is said to be just one of them (There was never a point saying she was somehow a higher version of them). These "Demons" are also the sorts of creatures involved in "Demon Summoning" (悪魔召喚) that Humans use.
—Meanwhile, on a different continent in the same world Yuru is on, there is the race of "Demons" (魔族 mazoku), ruled by a "Demon King" (魔王 maou), who have nothing to do with the 悪魔 from before.

As such, there is a decision to be made here. You can continue to call Yuru's race Demons, or you can switch to calling them Devils. But if the translations keep calling the 悪魔 as "Demons", then at the very least change the term used for 魔族 and 魔王.
Also, of course Google shows you more recent books. That's just how google is.
There's also books specifically from the 20th century, or the 19th century, if you want.

 

And this here why you and those guys are annoying. This is nothing worth splitting hair over. The 1st translation - the original one Japanse to English - 魔族 as demon. And Japanese created 魔族 in the image of demon lilith , ........ could also lead to this result. And 悪魔 also being translated to demon in a lot of books. So why bother ? Insulting the translator ? It's not like you paid them.

About Devil and Devils. I would say most people are mistaken. There is only 1 devil, my pasture said Devil diverted from the Greek word : diábolos which meant slanderer or accuser. It describes Lucifer. while demon is from daimonion, well this only mean an intelligent spirit however when Christian adopt the word it is used describe evil spirit.

 

So, "People who speak the Language are wrong, and only my interpretation of language is correct, because one person told me so"?
That's your argument? The people who have been using "Devils" for hundreds of years, are just wrong? Language very rarely follows "your" rigid description, and terms will always end up meaning more than the original meaning. Just like "devil" comes from accuser, and "demons" are divine spirits, they now mean something completely different.

If you want to speak and write English in the "original way", I'm sorry, but no one will understand what you're trying to say nine times out of ten.
But hey, if you want to confuse readers, go ahead.
