Servamp chapter 142 translation "Worthless"

Read the chapter on Mangadex!

Keep reading for translation notes.

The title of the chapter in Japanese is 瓦落苦多 (garakuta) which means junk or something without value and it can also be applied to people. The word is also used by Tsubaki and I chose translation that would be fitting for the broken sword that he used while the title of the chapter might refer to him.

Pages 17-18.

First of all, I believe the setting is based on Kenji Miyazawa's Night on the Galactic Railroad.

The way that Tanaka-sensei wrote some of the words in these pages…I'm not sure if I can explain properly but I will try.

The words Tsubaki says, such as 'train' 'ticket, 'conductor' are emphasized but not in the usual manner.

As you can see, on the right side of the kanji, instead of the usual side dots 傍点 (bouten) which are used for emphasis, Tanaka-sensei used squares and as far as I know, those are not punctuation marks and I think sensei wanted to strongly emphasize the words that Tsubaki said.

If you thought his line sounded weird on page 18 where he says, 'That’s right, at some point, I also came to know the word “I”, it's because although it's a direct translation, the way a word is written provides a clue to the nuance behind it.

A reminder that Tsubaki has mainly used the pronoun 僕 (boku) however he has also used 私 (watashi) as seen in the previous chapter.

I noted that he used watashi when he was talking with his little sister and Germaine. When Tsubaki was narrating, he was using boku and only written in hiragana ぼく.

Boku is now written in kanji 僕. It's not like he mentioned something new, thus my only theory is that the change from hiragana to kanji reflects the change he went trough.

Boku was written using hiragana when he was human and after becoming a vampire, the word is written with kanji.

Man, Tanaka-sensei is awesome for using such a technique. Unfortunately, a detail like that can be lost in translation ;;

Tsubaki mentions the word sensei which is also emphasized now using the squares on the side. Why is that?

I think it's because he perceived him differently after finding out that Germaine wasn't an ordinary human.

Page 24

Tsubaki's last sentence on this page has two readings. The furigana reads 'end of the world' while the other one says 'cleanup' .

Page 27

What Tsubaki says here seems to be related to the idiomatic expression 元の鞘に収まる which literally means 'to return to the original sheath'. It describes situations where something or someone returns to its original state, place, or relationship after a period of separation or conflict.

I hope the notes I provided were helpful!

Let me know what you thought about this chapter!

[Wind and Truth: Chapter 142]

Hell yeah poke holes in "honor". Honor justifies revenge. Revenge leads to more suffering. Something is broken there.

Almost lost to the Shard, Dalinar. Careful.

Also Gavinor crying? Broke my heart.

Wow. The Vessel can be sent to a vision. Must be by the Shard, then.

Oh did they fuck up with Nightblood? Can't be that bad, at least the author survives, and she's nearby. But uh. Bad.

Ishar has no power? Not even the Herald powers?

I don't remember Kaladin cursing the Wind ever? Will he be there? Something's weird here.

Ah he'll get the cool Nightblood scars. Which... won't get healed? Can they? Szeth has them. Idk if Lift does.

Oh nice Nohadon. Dalinar's favorite guy. Uh. How?

We all make choices. Kings just make bigger choices. Which uh. Doesn't go well in practice.

bread and butter does solve everything. that's true

I also don't have this answer Dalinar. Honor as an Alethi kid is interesting, though.

Nohadon's talking to Hoid? Where are we. What universe.

Kaladin... Preserve a piece of Honor? He does protect.

Also while we mention Jasnah, I feel like she got really undercut this book. Missed opportunities, maybe. Not enough of her. I guess she gets a book later.

So uh. Dalinar. You're not gonna make it. But the others you mentioned will. Those five, and more.

Just left the vision, but Nohadon. Living in the Spiritual for now? A manifestation? We'll probably never know.

Ooh. We're renouncing a lot this book.

Deadeye Stormfather. Big sword. For the Megazord!!! holy shit it's gonna happen

Toto, you just gasped… Did you mumble something after that?

Toto sitting on Ron’s lap enjoying the lazy Sunday morning until he feels Ron’s hand slipping under his shirt. Crap!

I can imagine so many scenarios. Those bedroom eyes of Ron’s. AA, not helping!!!

(Apologies, guys 😬)
