I'm Acy. Contrary to popular belief it's pronounced something like "Ackie".
My greatest accomplishment is how I'm banned from the wiki poll because I accidentally spam voted for Scoundrel Team.
Misconceptions[edit | edit source]
A personal collection of various misconceptions/mistranslation/completely made up shit I've seen claimed about Len'en.
- Tsurubami's cha-cha:
In Yabusame's Evanescent Existence Extra stage, Tsurubami says "Well then, let's wrap this up quickly, shall we?" In Japanese, the word used for "quickly" ちゃっちゃと/chacchato superficially resembles the word "cha-cha" and was mistranslated as such.
Even when the mistranslation was pointed out, it remained on the wiki for several years for no good reason other than people liked it.
Many claimed that the mistranslation "adds character" but that makes no sense, mistranslations can't "add character" as they are misrepresentations of the original text based on someone's misunderstanding of it. They detract from the character. Non-literal translations made by someone who DOES understand the original text well can add character, such translating speech quirks or puns into speaking styles and jokes that get the original meaning across in English, even if not entirely literal. But mistranslations can't add anything because the original text wasn't understood in the first place.
- Immortal Yabusame:
I was VERY confused when I saw people references to Yabusame being immortal. It turns out this comes from a mistranslation of BPoHC Secret Team vs Yabusame. In this stage, Hamee asks Ardey what would happen if they killed Yabusame. Ardey replies "Hm, since rewinding doesn't work, wouldn't they stay dead if they're killed?" However, this line was originally mistranslated as "Ugh, not only does rewind not work, but they won't die even if you kill them." leading to the misconception that Yabusame is immortal.
- "Just go back to the hospital."
In Tsubakura's EE extra stage, they tell Clause "Just go back to the hospital." which led to fans speculating why Clause was in the hospital. But more likely, this was intended to be a throwaway joke line and not meant to be taken literally. Clause fits a character archetype known as "chuunibyou" which means something eighth-grader syndrome, referring to a stage in adolescence where kids make up an edgy backstory and powers for themselves, the term also extends to older characters who didn't outgrow this phase. Other examples of characters fitting this archetype are Gundam Tanaka from Super Dangan Ronpa 2, Rintarou Okabe from Steins;Gate, and Yoshiko Tsushima from Love Live Sunshine. Because Clause is inflicted with this "disease" a hospital joke was an easy joke for Tsubakura to make.
Additionally, the wording Tsubakura used is often used as a tag on niconico used for videos containing chaotic content. JynX regularly uses niconico memes in dialogue, making the interpretation that this line was intended to be a joke even more likely.
I've also seen claims that Suzumi's EE scenario somehow proves this line isn't a joke, and implies that Clause was in the hospital due to an injury they got from Suzumi, however, nothing in Suzumi's EE scenario actually indicates this, so this claim is completely made up.
- Fumikado's relationship to Masakado:
The wiki at one point stated "It's unknown if they are actually related to Taira no Masakado or claims to be, since they wanted to transfer his soul to their vessel body. Conversations in-game imply that Fumikado is not related to Masakado in any way, but has deluded themself into believing it." leading people to believe Fumikado isn't actually related to Masakado. This in-game conversation does not exist, so there isn't actually anything to imply Fumikado's isn't related to Masakado, and this statement has since been removed from the wiki.
This wiki edit may be based on a misinterpretation of one of Kaisen's line, "If Lord Masakado actually dwelt within you, it may very well have become his." but Kaisen here is talking about Fumikado failing the ritual, not about their bloodline. And earlier, Kaisen tells Fumikado "Lord Masakado's blood is strong within you, yet you're so miserable!" so Kaisen definitely doesn't believe that Fumikado isn't related to Masakado.
- The identity of who is giving NiLU and Tom C. Zemlja their orders:
I've seen it claimed that the identity of this person is confirmed/heavily implied to be Suzumi, due to them both using the same speech patterns in ""the original Japanese"". This is completely false. This unseen character's speech patterns do not resemble neither Hamee nor Ardey's speaking patterns. Benny hasn't spoken a lot which makes their speech patterns harder to determine, but there's nothing in their existing dialogue that remotely resembles the mysterious character Tom quotes enough to "confirm" they're the same person.
In fact, this character uses the personal pronoun "ore-sama", which hasn't been used by any len'en character before, so what the original Japanese ACTUALLY implies is that this unseen character is someone completely new.
