Shin Mefilas Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Ok we have definitely never been here before. The next arc of the story has got me interested just by this one panel, is that weird? Quote

Matt Bellamy Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Same complaints as before... Doesn't seem like there is much plot movement, and now its only characters we have not seen in a while reacting to old events... The dialogue could prove me slightly wrong... But we'll see. 1 Quote
Shin Mefilas Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 So thats were they've been hiding, that is an really cool hideout. Hopefully well finally get to see what these to can do soon. I agree with Bellamy though, the chapter is a bit short. Quote

I agree with Bellamy though, the chapter is a bit short. I agree. Its very short. I'm very curious on what's being said. I'm seeing a picture of what I'm guessing is Richard's current pseudo zoacrystal. So, I guess that's implying that the rebel zoalords are talking about him maybe? I'm not sure. I can't read the symbols. 1 Quote
Salkafar Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Those are the Atlas mountains (North Africa), we have seen them before. At least I think that's the same hide-out. They're probably worried that Guyot will lead Apollyon to them. Another issue seems to be a definite lack of people. And no people means no Zoanoids. I guess they sent their last personnel with Guyot as Unuses. If something happens they'll have no choice but to fight. Hmmm... I have been watching a lot of Steven Universe, so maybe that influences my thinking... but they have shown to be experts in fusions. They created the Branchai Hyper-Zoanoids, and of course the Unus, and their third member - Cabral Khan - based his entire super-power on biological fusion. Since they apparently have no cannon fodder left to turn into even more powerful Zoanoids to fight for them, and they feel like everybody is breathing down their neck - might they not attempt to fuse together? If two Unuses, relatively speaking weak, can merge into a Dimer which is geometrically more powerful, what would happen if two Zoalords merged together? If their power increased geometrically, could they not be a match for Apollyon? 2 Quote
Guyver0 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Thank you Cannibal, but I do wish there was a bit more to this chapter. 1 Quote
H222G981 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Thank you Cannibal, but I do wish there was a bit more to this chapter. As Richard Guyot once said to Agito Makishima and I quote: "Its intolerably lacking!" 1 Quote
Super Existence Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Last I heard they are the Karakorum mountains on the border of Indian and Pakistan. Quote
Sully Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Please Mr Takaya make longer chapters again. I hope he's not ill / having issues that prevent him from writing more. But either way I'd like to have seen more from him. 1 Quote
TricoBren Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Finally landed back in Japan yesterday and read the chapter this afternoon Another slow 10 page snorefest I'm afraid. The entire point of the chapter being this: "They're probably worried that Guyot will lead Apollyon to them." Salkafar hit the nail right on the head. Looks like these two are gonna be packing their bags... EDIT: Btw, what are the english translations of these zoalords? It's been so long since I last saw them I can't remember! Is it Kurumegnik and Jabil...? Edited May 9, 2015 by TricoBren Quote
*Jess♥ Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I believe we stick with the transliteration in the datafiles. kurumegnik and jabir. we have linked jabir to jaervil ibn hayyan or something like that, but the datafile says jabir so... honestly I don't know where jaervil came from. a google search brings up nothing of note. but there is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C4%81bir_ibn_Hayy%C4%81n 2 Quote
*Jess♥ Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 just found this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luggnagg a principle port in luggnagg is Clumegnig. so I believe his name is meant to be Luggnag Clumegnig. We've used the kurumegnik for so long though, it might not be worth upsetting the apple cart. 1 Quote

Haha! I went with Kurumegnik in my head so that was good but your suggestion of going with "Jabir" certainly looks very convincing! His appearance resembles somebody from the middle east too so you could be right. 1 Quote

We've used the kurumegnik for so long though, it might not be worth upsetting the apple cart. WOW! Nice find!! Judging by the promixity of the islands from Japan too, I wouldn't be surprised if this book is where Takaya found inspiration for naming his character! I wish there was some way of asking him... As for the datafiles, they are certainly very useful as guidelines but when it comes to romanizing their own words into English, the Japanese can be very clumsy at the best of times. (I have seen my name written as "Burendan" many many times now. lol) One of the biggest screw-ups I can remember is the naming of one of the main characters in Fist of the North Star. For the longest time, overseas fans called the character "Souther" then a range of toys came out saying his name was "Thouzer" (wtf?!) then the anime got licensed and it said "Sauza" (I think) So, yeah... helpful but probably not accurate much of the time.

TricoBren Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Further supporting Yuki's discovery that Takaya named Kurumegnik after a place in Gullivers Travels, I have discovered that he only changed the last syllable from "gu" to "ku" when writing it in Japanese. No doubt he did this to avoid ripping off Johnathon Swift completely. SO, instead of naming his character "Clumegnig" (クルメグニグ) he opted for "Clumegnik" (クルメグニク) instead! Here is the entire story in Japanese: http://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000912/files/4673_9768.html and here is a selection of passages. クルメグニグ is mentioned fifth from top. The sentence translates as "At one point we ran into some stormy weather but on April 21st, our vessel safely entered the Clumegnig river." http://yourei.jp/%E4%B8%83%E4%B8%80%E4%B8%80 CASE CLOSED (??)

Agreed. seems we have another name nailed! Clumegnik it is! Quote

Cannibal Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) We have an exact location of Luggnagg's secret base! It's in Trango Towers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trango_Towers As I understand this in the center is the "Nameless" Trango Tower. On map: Edited May 11, 2015 by Cannibal 7 Quote
TricoBren Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Wow!! I guess it's not so secret now, huh?? Hahaha!! Amazing find Cannibal!! Quote
*Jess♥ Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 in pakistan? I did not expect that! For some reason, I thought his base was somewhere in north africa. probably a lame mental link with egyptian stylisations. very cool! how on earth did you find that out cannibal?? i mean, the exact photo... that;s pretty awesome.

H222G981 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 That looks almost exactly like in the photo. I never would have guessed it. 1 Quote
