Mikan wants to be "forgiven"...but what does that really mean?

Hello. This is something that has been quietly on my mind for a while.

It's something shown in the game in chapter 3. Mikan really focuses in on "being forgiven".

And while not a mistranslation per se, I think it's inaccurate to what is happening in the game.

I've talked about this extensively - the fact ENG DR team has a very bad habit of translating things literally or very directly. This leads to either clunky dialogue, missed nuances, or just incorrect interpretations sometimes.

I think this in particular falls somewhere between 2 and 3. I'll explain why.

If translated literally, the English text works just fine, but as with a lot of literal translation, it misses the "feeling" of what was trying to be conveyed. If you want my translation...

Mikan: Won't someone just tell me what I did wrong!? Why won't anyone just let it be already!?

While Mikan doesn't say "What did I do wrong", there is a subtle emphasis on her talking about herself...I feel like it's a more natural way to word what is essentially "What is it that I did differently [to warrant this]?"

Anyways, to the main point...I hope you can kind of see what I'm getting at.

"Forgive" feels like...Mikan is seeking people to "pardon" her for perceived wrong-doings. And while not untrue I would say, the way Mikan specifically uses the word and the context it is in, to me, feels much more like she is using it like "allow" or "excuse".

Let me use another example to better explain myself.

The last line to me reads like Mikan needed this person to pardon her for being born; for existing. That her existence in and of itself was a mistake or wrong-doing that needed to be forgiven.

I think that's missing the point, though.

Mikan: They allowed me to exist.

See, the point is...Mikan is a very troubled person. She admits as much in the freetime events that wherever she goes, she is horribly bullied just for existing. That she hated being bullied, but even more she hates being forgotten.

She emphasizes her beloved (Junko) did not hate her, and in fact allowed her presence...

This line was heavily misread, I think. 許して受け入れて was read as two verbs in one sentence (which it is) but as "forgive and accept" which is incorrect to what it means. It's closer to "they tolerated me" (like, accepting and moving on). Which comes to how I would translate it, and my final point:

Mikan: They accepted me for who I am.

This is why I think the "forgive" thing is not only incorrect, but actually opposite of what this scene was going for. Junko did not "forgive" Mikan for the sin of existing. Rather, she was the only person who seemed to not mind that she existed, that didn't bully or ignore her.

She didn't "forgive" Mikan, she allowed her to be herself.

Another reason DR3 totally missed the mark, but I digress...

I guess while I'm on the topic, we all know that scene where Mikan has a little back-and-forth with Nagito...that, too, was misrepresented somewhat.

Putting the English here just for comparison sake. And while not the worst translation in the world, it certainly isn't how I would go about it.

Nagito: I don't...really get what you're trying to say... Mikan: Oh, you don't? (lit: you don't understand?) Mikan: Is that because you don't have any loved ones in your life? Mikan: Is it because there's no one who will love you?* Mikan: Oh, you poor thing...I feel very sorry for you.

*Literally speaking, she says "Is it because you are a person nobody allows" but considering the context thus far, it's easy to conclude she means that there's no one who will love/accept him for who he is.

*Adding "also" to the line is a mistranslation, I believe. も means also but it is also used for emphasis, which I think it is here. Not that it's impossible Mikan is using it to say "also", but in these lines of dialogue she is intentionally contrasting how she does have someone who loves her and that she can love, so to then identify a similarity between her and Nagito, I think, wouldn't make much sense...

Mikan is one of my favorite characters, so little details like this matter a lot to me.

[rosesknives]

hello dear clown!! what brushes do you use for lineart and shading? do you use filters over your art to make it look fuzzier/softer? Tell me everything!!

---

Oh! I can Tell you these! Here, I will put them under a curtain!

I presently use Clip Studio Paint! Typically for all of my artwork, I have been using this for my linework!

I have very shaky, unwell hands so I think the chalk hides it! (I am so strategic, ehehe)

For painting brushes, I experiment! I would offer for very little advice to explore things for yourself in your respective art program (or physical medium!) Everyone enjoys particular looks, I believe! My favorite painting brushes for applying color are these!

Additionally I use filters! My favorites is the Perlin Noise from the Render option (For the fuzzy finish you may see on my artwork!), different colored Overlays (To add some more color!), and Gaussian Blur from the Blur options (Sometimes for a desired glow effect!) A very fun idea is sometimes I will duplicate and merge all of my layers of my Piece, and Then Overlay them over the actual piece and Play around with the filters! (With Exclusion and Difference, you can achieve a VHS sort of feel, For example!)

It's a matter of finding what you hope to achieve With Your respective piece, I believe! Some moods require different tools! (Sometimes, I love the rough edges the gouache provides, but sometimes the paint and apply brush creates a smoother shadow!)

What matters is you are happy with your end result, No Matter what it Looks like! Because you Explored and Experimented for yourself! I hope I could help you!

One Foot At a Time

Dogday had a lot of issues with walking, due to losing his legs and having just recently got them back thanks to you.

You saved him and showed him love and care that he hadn't experienced in years, and he was grateful for that. You took him into your tender hands and stitched him right back up, every stitch and seam filled with love and care. You really were his angel. But despite your work and efforts he… still struggled to walk. He was trying to, pressing his padded paws against the wall as he stumbled and shook. The reattachment felt awful as he walked, the feeling of bones grinding together was just disgusting but he endured it for your sake.

You noticed him nearly topple over face first, snorting softly before you approached him and carefully rested one of his arms over your shoulder and held his wrist with your right hand, your left on his side as you carefully guided him through each step. “Take it easy, alright? Look.” You murmured, taking one step, and then the next. Doing it slowly while also trying to guide Dogday’s feet to follow the same pattern. He stumbled and shook, feeling a bit more confident in each step he took. He went to take a larger step, but was greeted with the cruel reality of being unprepared and falling face first.

Luckily as you fell with him, he was able to quickly react and hold you close to his chest so the impact wouldn't be as harsh on you. He sighed and looked almost embarrassed.

Who was he kidding, he was embarrassed. He looked at you with sad eyes, guilty for making you fall. “Angel, I'm sorry.” He murmured, causing you to smile and gently wiggle out of his arms, getting up and lifting the canines form up with your own.

“It's alright, we’ll keep trying until you can get it properly.”
