Fake Marcille's spellbook in the shapeshifter episode is so bad, y'all.

Not only is it in Japanese instead of Made-Up Fantasy Language, it's written almost entirely in the kana. The only kanji on the page (時間) is jikan, which just means "time." This looks like something a second-grader would write.

I'm still learning, but here's my translation of the pages:

Left Page:

How to Cast Black Magic

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do that stuff you know how to do

Ready your staff

Chant

Doodle corner

Right Page:

Go Back In Time Magic*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Abracadabra

*I really need to note here that, as best I can tell, it does not say "Time Travel Magic." Japanese has a few words that could be used to say "Time Travel," and this spellbook uses none of them. Instead, it says, "Go back in time." It's so bad. It's beautiful.

something about Adaine loving the ads on podcasts is so funny and so correct for her

the WOAH HEY from this episode is extremely good but can i also offer you: Laios,

Not to be dramatic or anything but realizing the man Silver failed to save in episode 20 is the same one that promised him he will be ok when he was about to lose his leg in episode 18 (he is also the one actively holding him back against the table) is the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

I'm so mad at this, but gosh darn it! Nokt is too adorable here.

Just tinkering with the dialogue makes a difference. From this…

To this:

Solving mysteries is my... is our duty, after all.

It is not Ron alone. But RonToto after all. Dream team. Dream couple.

Those intricate illustrations from Wakamiya observing the technology, food, and the ways from the world outside.

Imagine Wakamiya as a young boy forcefully had to live among humans and observe their ways. He had a help of course in order to navigate the new situation where he was. He ate donuts and burgers, loved bananas, observed the salarymen going to work. He must have tried the different vehicles to experience them. Learned how to cook for himself. Talked to different kinds of people and interacted with them, conversed with them about their rights and pursuits. No wonder, he wanted to give the same freedom of choice to the girls at the Sakura Blossom Palace, however uncanny the formulation he used. And perhaps, some people thought that he was an eccentric artist drawing the typical, mundane objects, from his point of view.

And Yukiya absorbing them as he couldn’t fathom that there is a world outside of Yamauchi. @ynxnyx I concur, his hometown is minuscule compared to what Wakamiya has seen and experienced. So far, he seems to be open for the possibilities. (In the books, he is in denial sort of.)

In Yamauchi it seems like the time stood still. This is Japan upside down in different eras (Kamakura, Sengoku, Heian, Edo and Meiji rolled into one).

Come to think of it, it is amusing to think of new scenarios of what will these characters do outside of Yamauchi.

How will Yukiya cope going to a school outside? Will he cut his hair? How will he look in our world with loose shirts and baggy pants? Or Lord Natsuka with his haughtiness? Will he survive it? Will he be as untouchable as he is in Yamauchi? Will he survive without Rokon? What is he going to do? A traditional businessman, a trader, an upstart CEO? How about Hamayū? Will she learn a new skill to keep up with her husband? Will she go to the uni with Masuho no Susuki?

I wonder if the anime staff will give us a glimpse of that time where Wakamiya spent his life outside Yamauchi.
