o-oh, this scene didn't make it into the webtoon. Awkward, sweet, and sad picnic with the Baron and Lloyd. A father reminiscing about his sons favorite foods as the one who replaced his son can only quietly accept the fatherly love being gifted

y’know, the translation of the first chapter for the swamp arc has baron frontera wishing he could apologize. as compared to the webtoon, well…

he just… isn’t included in the arc. at all. the webtoon makes him out to be a side character, when he really does play an important role. he is technically lloyd frontera’s father, but he only recently had begun caring for him again. kim suho can’t say anything because he’s not lloyd, just some soul who took his body.

the baron wants to apologize. maybe if he’d given lloyd all the food he wanted, he wouldn’t be spoiled. maybe if he’d been more stubborn with giving him different foods, he wouldn’t have been such a drunkard.

i think that’s one of the things that breaks my heart the most. the baron wanting to own up to his past mistakes and hating himself for hating his son.

genuinely one of my favorite chapters it makes my chest hurt

i love when parents are people too and here you can see it all too clearly how aware arcos is aware of his own failings as a father. he never stopped caring for his son, i don't think he ever stopped loving him, but he did hate him. and he's so sorry for it.

but i think the most tragic part of all of this is that the son he wants to apologize to isn't the one he hated in the first place. he believes his son has matured and turned into a decent person on his own and is regretful that he was too busy being disappointed on him to help him get there. but that's not what happened. and lloyd cannot absolve him because he's not the son that arcos hated.

it's a heartbreaking dynamic and one of my favorite parts of the novel

Words from Noragami, ch. 43

Words in bold are particularly relevant to the story, and words in italics seem like they’d be worth remembering outside the context of the manga. Bold and italic together means they’ve probably appeared somewhere in Noragami more than once. [Though it's been a kajillion years (okay three actual years) since I read it so I can't promise I can highlight them well anymore...] This list also includes five words from the omake manga at the end of volume 11 (so there are actually more words from the bonus than the chapter...).

下請け, 下請 したうけ subcontract, subcontractor (person or company) / subcontratación 形見 かたみ memento (esp. of a deceased person), keepsake, heirloom, remembrance, souvenir / recuerdo (objeto), suvenir 負い目, 負目 おいめ (feeling of) indebtedness, feeling obliged / deuda 最たる さいたる prime, conspicuous 一身 いっしん oneself, one's body / uno mismo, intereses propios, el cuerpo en su totalidad やり口, 遣り口 やりくち way (of doing), method 浄土 じょうど pure land (esp. the Western Pure Land paradise of Amitabha), (Buddhist) paradise, Pure Land Buddhism / cielo, gloria, paraíso 求心力 きゅうしんりょく centripetal force, unifying force, cohesive power / fuerza centrípeta 視察 しさつ inspection, observation / inspección, observación
