Norocore Fixations

Hey you geriatric fucks! I was tired of no one having a decent place for adults to talk about sparkledogs, homestuck, nightcore, and weebshit without the threat of having to hear a 14 year old's opinion thrown into the mix.

So I made it myself! And it's forum based!!

The idea is that you're free to drop in and gush about Star Rail or MLP or whatever the FUCK in a thread you make or an already existing one and see what friends you can make from there!

My only request is that you're at LEAST 60% sane please thank you.

This is Lumpstud, back for more Exclamation Point Yo-kai Watch!

The new Yo-kai this week was none other than Yametaishi, a combination of the phrase 辞めたいし (yametaishi), meaning “I wanna quit [X]” or “I don’t wanna [do X] anymore,” with “shi” replaced with the kanji 師 (shi) for a teacher/mentor. In the localization he’s known as N'more, a simple contraction of “No more.”

You guys know Gachinkozo by now, as he first showed up way back in Episode 138. Meaning Manji’s explained his name already, but I’ll go over it again for One Chance sake. Basically: ガチンコ (gachinko, competing seriously/earnestly) and 小僧 (kozou, boy/youngster). When he becomes One Chance Side, his name becomes ガチンコ増 - pronounced exactly the same, but instead meaning that there’s an increase (増 zou) in his earnest competing (ガチンコ gachinko). It’s a lame pun so I localized it as a lame pun. lol

It’s here! …And our post is late by several days. Well, better than nothing, right?

The Yo-kai of the week is Tenohira-gaeshi (てのひらがえし), which comes from 手のひら返し, literally meaning “to turn the palm of your hand,” but an expression meaning for one to quickly change their attitude from what it was before.

Additionally, the Oldie Wig Club man this week is Sei Nimen (二面 聖), which is pronounced surname-first the same as Nimensei (二面性), meaning “two-facedness,” in reference to his occupation as a spy.

Oh boy he’s back Get this episode on nyaa! (Softsub, hardsub) Watch this episode on vimeo or dailymotion! So here we are jumping a whole ten episodes away from my last release. I would have preferred to have this out sooner but alas it was “one of those” episodes with regards to the typesetting. Special thanks to Lumpstud and Noroinohanako for help with some particularly difficult spots (I could’ve sworn I put Lumpstud in the episode credits but I didn’t realize until after the final encode was being submitted that she wasn’t there, so please be aware that she did contribute). This was a very good episode if I do say so myself (at least the last two segments). It’s nice to see a Yo-kai of the Day segment end on a sweet note with no last-minute shock jokes, and I’m sure you all know how I feel about the “Komarly Hills” gang… This episode’s Yo-kai of the Day is Nopperabo, a Yo-kai from YW2 to break the recent trend of all the new Yo-kai being from 3. Being a classic Yo-kai, Nopperabo’s name is taken from the mythological “faceless ghost” (or faceless monk), or nopperabou (のっぺらぼう). Here’s some background, if you’re interested. “Faysoff” was the name they went with in the English dub, as the classic Yo-kai’s names are usually changed from the originals (though interestingly, the 7 Lucky Gods’ names in YW3 were kept). There was also a multitude of puns in this episode that I localized, but here’s the literal translations for the curious:

About the 4 minute mark - Nyanpachi makes a pun on the word robo (self-explanatory) and boro (meaning “shabby” or “junky”), since robo is comprised of the katakana characters for ro and bo, and when read backwards, you get boro.

Around 14:24 - So “There’s Something About Koma” is a direct reference to the film “There’s Something About Mary,” which in Japanese is merii ni kubitakke (hence koma ni kubitakke). Whisper’s proposal is wisupaa wa kubi dake, which sounds similar to the Japanese name of the movie, and literally means “Whisper is All Head.” Obviously the phonetic stuff doesn’t work in English, so I just looked for a title of another family comedy that I could feasibly pun :L

15:28 to 15:38 - The Japanese word for “base” (as in the base of a triangle) is teihen. The teacher made a pun on teihen with teehen, a colloquial version of taihen, meaning “terrible,” “awful,” “great,“ etc. Do kids actually say “based” or is that not a thing outside of the Internet?
