Please take my explanations with a grain of salt. I'm still learning as well, and I simply hope my ramblings will be an interesting way to make vocabulary stick more easily. Actual dictionary websites will always give more accurate descriptions, so it's recommended to check them if you're not a casual learner.

0:12 ラストダイブ: Last Dive 葛葉 「ちょっと待って、ラストダイブ行ける、俺」 > Hold on, I can go for a Last Dive. I thought this was some type of common phrase like "last spurt" or "last resort", but turns out it's just a reference to something from Made in Abyss. Lol

0:18 あんま: not really 叶 「ジンジャーエールとか飲める人？」 > Does anyone here drink ginger ale? 葛葉 「ジンジャーあんまだね」 > I don't really drink ginger. 16:08 葛葉 「俺、小豆あんまだったわ…」 > I'm not really into red beans... Saying あんま is really common in daily conversation! Sometimes it can mean "I don't feel like it" or "meh", etc. In general, I think it's more often used than あんまり.

0:37 ずっしり: heavily, profoundly イブラヒム 「ズッシリ来た？」 > Is that the thick one? 不破 「ズシってるね、これ」 > That's very heavy. I'm pretty sure this isn't usually used to describe food? The other examples I see include wet clothes that become heavy, bags filled with books, thick dictionaries, the plump bodies of reptiles, etc. Isn't it super hard to translate "来る"? Ibrahim says literally "heavy came" here which makes zero sense in English. I think Fuwa has the habit of saying things are "ている"(basically "-ing" in English) even when it's grammatically strange. Imagine it as adding "-ing" to adjectives. "Wow, the sky is so orange today." "It's oranging?" ← ?? 「ズシってるね」 = It's thicking, huh. ← ?? By the way, ~てる and ~ている are the same things, the former being casual writing. I got curious and searched if Zushiri's name has anything to do with this word, but the Wiki doesn't say anything, so probably not.

0:47 伊勢海老(いせいえび): Japanese Spiny Lobster 葛葉 「伊勢海老入ってる？」 > Is there a lobster in this? Kuzuha is exclaiming that the shrimp burger is ridiculously large, and omitting the full name of the lobster still got that across, so I took it out in the subtitles. This line makes even more sense if you know that "shrimp" in Japanese is "えび", and the spiny lobster is also an えび... even though it's a lobster. Apparently, "lobsters" are just called "ロブスター"? Is this why I somehow associate Yusuke(P5) with both lobsters and shrimps...?? I haven't finished the game yet. I wonder if there are animal names in English that are also so commonly used that they're referenced like this, too. Grizzly bears? Clownfish?

1:01 どっち: which 叶 「チリ、か…」 > It's chili, or... 葛葉 「どっちも辛い？」 > Are they both spicy? I wanted to point out that "どっち" is used when there are 2 options, and "どれ" is used when there are over 3 options. When ordering at a restaurant, I once asked a Japanese friend, "どっちにする？" and they got confused because I didn't give them 2 specific options.

1:03 いうて: even so 葛葉 「チリドッグって何？」 > What's a chili dog? イブラヒム 「ちょい辛だね」 > A little spice. 不破 「いうて辛くないでしょ」 > It shouldn't be spicy though, right? More official dictionaries say that this is dialect for 言って, but other ones say it's slang(ish?) for "even so/nevertheless". I kind of had to guess for this subtitle...

1:11 ノリ: mood, spirit, energy, enthusiasm, rhythm, feeling イブラヒム 「こういうノリの」 > This type of vibe. 葛葉 「あー…まあ、」 > Oh... well. 不破 「そういうノリね」 > Oh, that type of vibe. イブラヒム 「名称すんなよ（笑）」 > Don't noun-ify it. What does that mean!? I'm pretty sure that Fuwa is mimicking Ibrahim here, and Ibu tells him to "knock it off, don't make that a thing lol"...? I ended up not subtitling it because it seemed trivial enough. Note: ～んな is a casual way say certain negative forms. 見るな→見んな(link of Zuha saying it: 9:59) するな→すんな ノリ is a hard word. It's usually used as "mood" or "flow" but I feel like I've been using "vibe" a lot more recently.

1:24 えぐい: insane, crazy I'll never understand this word. Also, they say it with a certain tone in the video. Are they referencing something?

1:57 この期に及ん(このごにおよんで)で: at this point in time 叶 「達成したら、何したい？」 > If we succeed, what do you want to do? 不破 「テキーラ一万円分」 > 10K yen of tequila. 葛葉 「この期に及んで」 > At this point? Someone in my quotes pointed out that Kuzuha might be slightly misuing it here, and I see what they mean. It seems to express a feeling of "it's too late" rather than "why now"... which seems like practically the same thing once I type it out. Hm... The general meaning is still correct, so you can memorize it that way for the JLPT test, haha.

2:20 軽々(かるがる): lightly, easily, carelessly イブラヒム 「もう三個行ったよ、俺は。軽々」 > I've already had three, easily. 葛葉 「…軽々？」 > ...Easily? I wrote nonchalantly in the subtitles which is way funnier. But probably not exactly what the word means. Though if they spoke English, don't you think they'd say something like that? John Chalant In the first place, I'm not even sure if Ibrahim said かるがる. It sounds more like まるがる to me. I'm not sure if Kuzuha is doubting him, or if he genuinely didn't hear him well.

2:43 所持(しょじ): possess; to have 葛葉 「俺はチリドッグを枯れてる、五分も」 > My chili dog has been drying out for 5 minutes. 不破 「所持してる？」 > You have it equipped? イブラヒム 「あー着てるか」 > Oh, you're wearing it. 葛葉 「所持品だね」 > It's an item. Seriously, what does Kuzuha say here...!? I listened to him say the first line a lot of times. To me, it sounds like "俺はチリドッグを枯れてる、五分も" as I wrote above. But the subtitles said "俺はチリドッグを五分持ってる", maybe because they're not 100% sure what he said, either. I went with the latter for the graphic because Twitter is more strict with me(posts end up on timelines of people who don't know me) and I shouldn't write anything I'm not positive about if I don't have space to clarify. Twitter's text limit isn't enough, writing too many words somehow makes me lose interactions, and leaving a message in the replies means not everyone will see it! Anyways, Tumblr has none of those issues. Grammatically, "チリドッグを枯れてる" would be wrong. The correct form would be "チリドッグが枯れてる" or "チリドッグを枯れさせてる"... I think. Not that it matters too much when you're speaking.

3:03 ノルマ: quote, assignment 叶 「二千五百円か、ノルマ」 > I guess the target is 2,500 yen. 3:35 叶 「僕いけるわ、ノルマ」 > I can reach the goal! My teacher asked me for the meaning of this word in class and I got it wrong because I assumed it just meant "norm" so now I'll never forget it.

4:05 ジャン負け(じゃんまけ): rock-paper-scissors match with loser penalty 不破 「ジャン負け一人が三千いってもいい」 > We can play rock-paper-scissors and have the loser eat 3,000. It's crazy how easily you can shorten Japanese words.

4:12 恒例(こうれい) / 損する(そんする): established practice, custom / to lose[money], to waste[time, effort] 葛葉 「不破湊恒例、デスジャンケン」 > The Fuwa Minato custom: Death Rock-Paper-Scissors. 叶 「食ってるやつが損するのやめろって」 > Stop making one eater suffer so much.

4:21 スッと / 重荷(おもに): quickly, gently, refreshed / load, heavy burden 叶 「スッと軽くなった」 > A weight has been lifted. イブラヒム 「なんかね、重荷が」 > The heavy load... 16:03 叶 「思ったよりもスって食えて好き」 > It's way more effortless to eat than I expected, so I like it. Onomatopoeia is so cute. These would be closer to "It's gotten lighter with a su" and "I can eat it with just a su". Swoop, and the food goes down. Memorizing 重荷 might be easier if you remember it's just short for 重い荷物(おもいにもつ).

4:53 叶 「（ようかん）二個いける、あと」 > I can have 1 more. Wanted to add this to the list because you might be thinking, "Why did it say 1 more when he said 2?" I THINK(Not definitive, might need a native speaker's opinion) that the あと here is "later" and not "more," so he's saying "I can get to 2 youkan in total later" instead of "I'm going to have 2 more." If the あと was in front, I'd think otherwise... Or maybe my gut feeling is wrong. There's a thing we call 語感 in Mandarin(and Japanese?) which means language sense, the gut instinct feeling that usually comes with a lot of reading/listening. Kind of how native speakers know how grammar works without knowing the actual rules. I sometimes rely on that, so I'm not a dependable explainer;;

4:54 ～やすい: easy to ~ イブラヒム「そんな食べやすい？」 > It's that easy to eat? 14:23 不破 「モスは野菜良かったね」 > Mos's vegetables were nice. 葛葉「野菜のやつね」 > The vegetable ones, right? イブラヒム 「めっちゃ食べやすいな、あれ」 > They're really easy to eat. 21:37 イブラヒム「リンゴジュースよりの」 > It's closer to apple juice. 葛葉 「果物よりの野菜ジュースなのかな」 > Vegetable juice leaning to fruit, I guess? イブラヒム 「飲みやすいわ」 > It's easy to drink. Something I've always been bothered about in Mandarin is that saying something is "hard to eat" just sounds like saying something "tastes bad"(難吃). You always have to clarify and I'm surprised there hasn't been a new word invented for that.

4:58 ゴリゴリ: vigorously, hard [food], true, real (slang) 不破 「ふんわりスフレパンケーキってあります？」 > Are there any soft souffle pancakes? イブラヒム 「キツイって絶対」 > That one's gotta be tough. 葛葉 「ゴリパンだぜ」 > That's complete bread. I kept thinking of Marcille(DunMeshi) saying she's sick of eating monsters. Turns out that's 懲り懲り(こりごり), and someone had the exact same question.

5:44 ゲテモノ: unconventional/bizzare things 葛葉 「苦手な食べ物探せば？」 > How about finding out what foods you dislike on ROFMAO? 不破 「探した結果、ゲテモノが嫌いだな」 > I did, and found out that I don't like unconventional foods. The opposite of this is 上手物(じょうてもの), quality goods.

6:47 ポテト: fries 叶 「ポテト食べました」 > I finished the fries. 6:55 イブラヒム 「ポテトも二百円くらいすんじゃない」 > Aren't fries also around 200 yen? Just wanted to point out that "poteto" are not potatoes, but fries. Sometimes, it means chips(the junk food one). Potatoes are "じゃがいも" or just "芋(いも)". Fuwa fans know... imokatsu...

7:09 支えあい(ささえあい): to support each other 葛葉 「支えあいだろ！にじさんじはよ！」 > Isn't this a team effort!? That's what Nijisanji is!

7:48 撃破(げきは): defeating, crushing, smashing, destroying 葛葉 「チリドッグ。ウーロン茶。撃破」 > Chili dog. Oolong tea. Destroyed. This is the same "geki" from ROFMAO's "Ichigeki." In a literal kanji sense, 一撃 means one strike, and 撃破 means hit-break.

7:55 偉大(いだい): great, grand, magnificent, outstanding, mighty イブラヒム 「超うまいけど、質量がちょっと偉大過ぎる」 > It's super good, but the volume is a bit too great. I love it when they use adjectives like "magnificent" to describe things that can't be called magnificent. (magnificent volume...?)

8:11 造作もない(ぞうさもない): no trouble, effortless 不破 「俺が本気出したら、造作もない」 > If I get serious, it'll be a piece of cake.

9:21 赤べこ: Akabeko 葛葉 「赤べこみたいになってる」 > He's turning into an Akabeko.

10:05 逆算(ぎゃくさん): calculating backwards 叶 「みんなこれ逆算して、届くものを食べようよ」 > You should calculate it backwards, and eat what would get you to the goal. One of those sentences that are normal length in Japanese but super long in English. They're so good at omitting things... In the first place, 逆算 is short for 逆に計算する anyways, probably. = "Everyone back-calc, eat things that reach"

10:20 アド: ad/address/advantage イブラヒム 「俺一本もドリンク飲み終わってないアドがあるから」 > There's also the advantage of having an unfinished drink, so... 葛葉 「アドなん、それ？」 > That's an advantage?

10:29 コスパ: cost performance, value for one's money 叶 「僕ペプシとジンジャーとコーンスープいったよ」 > I had pepsi, ginger ale, and corn soup. イブラヒム 「コスパ良さそう」 > Sounds like a good combo. 叶 「マック回もそうじゃなかった？ドリンクがめっちゃ良くて、コスパ」 > The drinks were really worth it in the McDonalds ep. 20:02 葛葉 「確かビッグマッ食ったんだけど、ビッグマックがありえんリーズナブルで…」 > If I remember correctly, he ate a Big Mac, but it was a ridiculously reasonable price... イブラヒム 「そう、コスパがちょっと」 > Yeah, the value was... 葛葉 「コスパが良すぎて、俺らからするとコスパが悪かった」 > It was too good of a deal, that it was a bad deal for us. "Cost performance" is a really frequently used word in Mandarin too...! If it has the same nuance in Japanese, then it's likely people use it for non-money-valued things, too. If something is worth it, we say the CP value is high. If it's a bit of a waste of time, we say the CP value is low. No one actually says cost performance in daily English, so it's always replaced with other words when translating.

11:26 騙されたと思って(だまされたとおもって): trust me and ~, just take my word for it and ~ 叶 「騙されたと思って食べてみてよ」 > Just trust me and try eating this. I have no idea how the sentence that means literally "think that you have been tricked, and..." can turn into "just trust me and do it." Was very confused when I heard Kanae say this.

12:08 貸し切る(かしきる): to reserve, charter, book 葛葉 「どこ行きたい？ロケなら」 > For outdoor filming, where would you want to go? 不破 「遊園地貸し切る？」 > Can we reserve an amusement park? 葛葉 「やりすぎだろ」 > That's too much.

12:17 黒字(くろじ) / 赤字(あかじ): surplus, being in the black / deficit, being in the red 不破 「ユニバ行きたい」 > I wanna go to Universal Studios. 葛葉 「ユニバを貸し切る？」 > Reserve Universal? イブラヒム 「絶対黒字に出来ない」 > There'll definitely be zero profit. 葛葉 「超赤字。」 > Totally in the red. Mentioned here, the phrase originates from pen ink.

12:55 最後の一手(さいごのいって): last resort 葛葉 「まさか、ふわっちが最後の一手に」 > Could it be, Fuwacchi, as a final resort...

13:15 ヌルっと: oilily, slimily, slipperily 葛葉 「ヌルっといった」 > It went by smoothly. 17:00 叶 「でも美味しくない？」 > Wasn't it good? 葛葉 「美味しい！」 > It was! 叶 「ヌルっといけるよね」 > It goes down easily, right? Strange if you imagine these sentences as "slimily." Slimily down the throat... This words reminds me of Koro-sensei(AssClass).

16:44 食道(しょくどう): esophagus, gullet 不破 「ケツに溜まってきてんだよね」 > It's piling up in my ass. 葛葉 「ケツ？」 > Ass? イブラヒム 「意味分からん」 > You make no sense. 叶 「食道も腸も超えて？」 > Past your throat and intestine? A common thing in translating Japanese and Mandarin(and maybe other languages!) to English is that there are sometimes words easy to understand only in the source language. 食道 is a word everyone knows because it's just "food-pipe." Same for many other medical terms too, such as orthopedics being 骨科(bone-division/branch) in Mandarin... but what the heck is an esophagus? Also, fun fact: 整形外科 is plastic surgery in Mandarin(zheng-xing-wai-ke), but orthopedics in Japanese(sei-kei-ge-ka). The Japanese for plastic surgery is 形成外科(kei-sei-ge-ka), which sounds ridiculously similar. Memorizing that took years off my lifespan and I still get them mixed up now!! A word with the same reading 食堂(cafeteria).

18:08 貢献 / 界隈: contribution / neighborhood, vicinity; social media community(slang) 葛葉 「貢献してないとさ、やっぱ大食い界隈として…」 > I need to contribute, as someone in the binge-eating field... 界隈 is used to flexibly that I sometimes think it as the word "fandom," lol

19:09 根性比べ: test of endurance(lit. guts comparison) 叶 「ふわっちのフィニッシュで多分この根性比べが終わる」 > If Fuwacchi is finished, then this endurance contest will probably end. 根性 is the thing Yamamoto kept screaming about to Kenma(Haikyuu)... Ohh, Kenma......... Guts

19:30 挙句の果てに / 始末: in the end, on top of all that / end result, outcome 不破 「挙句の果てにミスドではに逃げる始末」 > In the end, this is the outcome of fleeing from Mister Donut. Took me a while to understand this, and I'm still not sure if I translated it right...??

19:57 微妙: subtle, delicate, fine; difficult, complex, tricky; doubtful, questionable, dicey; not great, iffy イブラヒム 「マックの時はまあ…微妙だった」 > The McDonalds one was, well... interesting. The word 微妙 itself is very 微妙 to me. Why are there so many different definition? I hear and use it a lot but still don't really know what it means. Personally... it's like the emotion of "...Hm.???" but in adjective form. (←Totally my own interpretation)

20:37 二日酔い(ふつかよい): hungover 不破 「二日酔いの分足したら、四千円になった」 > If you include the part where I'm hungover, it would be 4,000 yen. 葛葉 「勝手に二日酔いになったやつが… 二日酔いの分とか知らないよ」 > You're the one who went and got hungover on your own... We don't care if you're hungover or what. Hungover = day two drunk(real) Another related word is 酔っ払い(よっぱらい, drunkard)

21:37 より: leaning to, similar to(寄る i-form) イブラヒム 「リンゴジュースよりの」 > Close to apple juice. 葛葉 「果物よりの野菜ジュースなのかな」 > Vegetable juice leaning to fruits. Very easily confused with より that means "than/rather." If Ibrahim had said "リンゴジュースより ~ " then it'd mean "more ~ than apple juice." Was pointed out in this tweet.

21:45 伏兵: ambush 叶 「いいアシスト決めたと思ったんだけど、伏兵がいたわ」 > I thought I was being helpful, but turns out there was an ambush.

22:34 駆け巡る: to run about, to rush about 葛葉 「果物と野菜が体を駆け巡る」 > Fruits and vegetables are rushing through my body. I still don't know when to use を and when to use に or で. It's "公園を散歩する" but "公園で遊ぶ." Same here, "体を駆け巡る" instead of "体で駆け巡る"... Why......

If you read the entire post, I am proud and also very surprised(!?) that my notes are helpful/interesting enough to keep you for that long!!! I hope to upload one list for each clip I make, so look out for future updates (^^ ♪

Please take my explanations with a grain of salt. I'm still learning as well, and I simply hope my ramblings will be an interesting way to make vocabulary stick more easily. Actual dictionary websites will always give more accurate descriptions, so it's recommended to check them if you're not a casual learner.

0:10 ～ヅラ: acting as if a... 葛葉　「あーやばい、先輩ヅラし始めた」 > Uh oh, now he's acting like a senpai. The kanji for this is 面, but never really used in this context.

0:30 ～づらい: hard to... 葛葉　「俺もなんか…声かけづらいわ」 > It's also... kinda hard for me to reach out. 37:30 葛葉　「音聞こえづらかったんで、ちょっとイヤホンを変えました」 > It was hard to hear with, so I changed my earphones. Usage similar ～やすい from the previous post, but with opposite meaning!

1:45 仕方がない: it cannot be helped 葛葉　「しゃーないでしょ」 ＝しょうがないでしょ＝仕方がないでしょ I wanted to point out that you can speak so fast that しかたがない becomes shortened to しゃーない...

2:25 ノータッチ: not being concerned by/involved in 叶　「××の部分分かる？分かるのね？」 > Do you know what the XX part is? You do, right? 葛葉　「と、すぷれあの四人です。」 > ...And, the four from Splare. 叶　「ノータッチやめろって」 > Stop acting like it has nothing to do with you. In other words, stop "avoiding" the question, stop "refusing to touch upon" the topic, stop "not touching" it... so "no touch." It's interesting how the "no" here has more of the meaning "to not want to," instead of "to not be allowed," which is what it would be in English.

3:07 春雨、コンソメ: Glass noodles, Consommé Foods that are common in Japan, but I personally have never heard of! I do know glass noodles, just not that they're called "spring rain" (which is very pretty). Consommé is French, and I'm still not exactly sure what it tastes like... It's called "French broth" in Mandarin;;

4:20 宗教: religion 一橋　「世界征服をするなら手始めに何から始める？」 > If you were to take over the world, where would you start? 叶　「宗教。」 > Religion. 葛葉　「宗教だね。」 > Religion, right?

4:40 ガッツリ: a lot, a great deal, properly, fully 一橋　「ゲームの世界に入るとしたら、どの世界がいい？」 > If you could enter a game's world, which would you choose? 叶　「戦いたい、ガッツリ」 > I want to fight. A lot. I'm not really satisfied with this translation. Somehow, ガッツリsounds like a lot more than just "a lot"... I remember this word by thinking the pronuncation sounds like "guts," and it's "doing so much that your guts are going to spill out." It works!

4:45 競う: to compete, to contest 叶　「だから、牧場物語。」 > [following the above] So, Harvest Moon. 葛葉　「どこ？牧場物語の…どこで戦ってんの？誰と競ってるの」 > Where in Harvest Moon...? Where are you fighting? Who are you fighting with? There are actually two words used for fighting here. 戦うgives more of an impression of physically fighting, to wage war, like Eren saying 戦え！Meanwhile, 競うis just competing things in general, such as grades and elections.

5:15 人身事故: accident resulting in personal injury or death (esp. traffic, rail, etc.) 葛葉　「マリカとかヤバいぞ」 > [Entering the world of] Mario Kart would be insane. 叶　「普通に人身事故だもんね」 > It'd just be traffic accidents all over the place. I was really bothered that this word for "accident" specifies people getting hurt, but the words "traffic accident" in English would be anything from minor bumps to cars exploding...? I feel that the punchline is slightly weakened if I take out the dying part. "Imagine Mario Kart IRL. The accidents would go crazy" compared to "Imagine Mario Kart IRL. People would drop dead like flies"... My interpretation might not be accurate, though...!!!

5:45 チョレギ、青じそ: Choregi dressing, perilla leaf dressing I am not well-versed in the vocabulary of salad dressings.

6:45 老後後: old-old-age 一橋　「最強の老後の暮らしはどんな感じ？」 > What's the best way to spend elderly life? 葛葉　「人間なら冷凍とかじゃない？」 > For humans, you freeze them, right? 叶　「老後っていうか…老後後すぎない？」 > That's not elderly life... Isn't that too elderly? 老後, word by word, is "old-after", and Kanae is asking, "Rather than old-after, isn't that more like, old-after-after?" The original is a bit funnier. Kuzuha's sentence is literally, "If it's humans, it's freezing, right?" Without any omissions, which happens a lot in Japanese, the full sentence is: "Different from vampires which are already immortal, humans are preserved through freezing or something, right?" My subtitle almost makes it sound like he's going to freeze some random humans he has on hand, but obviously, based on context, that isn't what's going on. Unless?

8:05 万能: all-purpose, almighty 葛葉　「万能だよね、時間止めるのは」 > It is pretty useful to stop time. 叶　「全てにおいて、何でもできるでしょ」 > It can do anything in any way, right? 万能, word by word, is ten-thousand-abilities, AKA invincible. ...Invincible is the word I should've used!!! I wanted something a little more colloquial than almighty. It's already been two months since I posted the clip, though...

9:40 下げる: to lower 五木　「ライバー一年目の自分へ、今の自分から一言送るならば？」 > A message you'd tell yourself during your first year of being a liver? 叶　「そのままで良いよ。」 > You're fine the way you are. 葛葉　「感度下げろ。」 > Lower your mouse sensitivity. Something confusing about verbs is that there are 他動詞(transitive) and 自動詞(intransitive) verbs. For example, 消す and 消える both mean "turning off a light", but the former is for "doing the action of turning off a light", while the latter is "light turning off on its own". If someone turned off the lights in your room, you'd say that they 消す the light; if there was a sudden blackout and the lights flickered off, you'd say the lights 消える(incorrect conjugation for comprehensibility). The sentence structures when using these verbs are a little different, too. 下げる is a transitive verb, and the intransitive version is 下がる. Kuzuha 下げる the sensitivity; the sensitivity is 下がる.

11:40 屈指: leading, foremost 叶　「僕ら過激だけど大丈夫？」 > We're pretty intense though, is that okay? 葛葉　「にじさんじ過激派？」 > Nijisanji intense side? 葛葉　「どこが？屈指の根暗じゃない？」 > How? Aren't we the leading gloomy ones? 葛葉　「過激派はろふまおとかだから。」 > The intense ones are ROFMAO or something. Another example sentence for this word can be found around 14:23 of this clip. Here's the transcription: 葛葉　「格好良くない？ハウル」 > Howl's really cool, isn't he? 叶　「屈指の格好良さじゃん。」 > He's like, the leading coolness[of Ghibli characters]. Personally, I like Haku more.

12:49 怯える: to be frightened of 蝸堂　「何分遅刻まで堂々とできますか。」 > How many minutes are you able to be late without shame? 叶　「遅刻したって怯える必要はない。」 > There's no need to be afraid of running late. 叶　「なぜなら遅刻したということは変わらないのだから。」 > After all, it won't change the fact that you ran late. 叶　「堂々と謝ろう。」 > Apologize boldly. Although it's not the word I highlighted for this card, 変わるis an intransitive verb, and 変えるis the transitive one. The fact you ran late won't 変わる, even if you can try to 変える that.

13:13 表記ゆれ: variation in spelling, inconsistency in spelling 叶　「五分遅れって書いてるもん」 > It says, "five minutes late." 葛葉　「これ表記ゆれだよ」 > That's just mispelling [so it doesn't count as being late]. I feel like I understand this concept in theory, but not actually. The joke Kuzuha's making here is that the 遅 from 遅刻 and 遅れ is read differently, but that still doesn't help me understand the punchline... Nothing to teach here, just listing another thing that I might've not translated well. Hopefully I'll understand this joke when I look back at this in a year or so!

13:55 ～ちゃう: to do something accidentally 叶　「忘れちゃうんだよね、一回既読したものって、その後」 > It's easy to forget them once you've read them once. ちゃうis a less formal way of sayingてしまう! It's used really often. You won't stop noticing it if you look out for it. 忘れちゃった、遅刻しちゃう、全部食べちゃった、死んじゃった！all use this.

15:00 意欲: motivated, ambitious 蝸堂　「お互いに尊敬しているところを教えてください！」 > Please tell me something you respect about each other! 叶　「全て。」 > Everything. 葛葉　「まあ、意欲的だなとは…」 > Well, I do think that he's pretty ambitious... 欲 means "the desire to". 食欲, food desire, means appetite. 性欲, sex desire, means... sexual desire. Yeah.

16:09 解像度: how well one understands a person or thing 夜牛　「いつか『きゃりあうーまん』になりたいと思っている。」 > She wants to become a "career woman" one day. 葛葉　「ひらがなだよ。解像度が低いんでしょ」 > In hiragana. She's not very locked in. / Doesn't sound like she knows what she's doing. / That's hard to imagine. (etc.) This one is really hard to explain, so I'll keep looking for similar examples...!

16:15 バリキャリ: a superwoman 叶　「キャリアウーマンって何なの？仕事する人？」 > What's a career woman? Someone who works? 葛葉　「バリキャリ。」 > A superwoman. Apparently, バリキャリ stands for バリバリ働くキャリアウーマン, so "a career woman who works a TON"? Dictionaries say that superwoman can mean an exceptional woman, so I went with that, but I don't know if English speakers even say that nowadays. It reminds me of that picture book that says all mothers are superwoman. Which is true.

18:20 白滝、こんにゃく: Shirataki, Konnyaku Shirataki is a type of translucent, gelatinous Japanese noodles... that basically sounds like harusame!? It seems that harusame is dry, and shirataki is wet. And shirataki is made FROM konnyaku... Since they're talking about oden ingredients, shirataki are the noodle-tied-into-bowties, and konnyaku are slabs of jelly. Excuse the vague description I thought of from searching up images on Google.

18:50 似て非なる: similar but different 葛葉　「ドーラは？サラマンダー？ドレイクか」 > How about Dola? Is she a salamander? No, she's a drake, huh. 葛葉　「ちょっと似て非なるものか」 > A little similar but different. I searched up drake and only got images of the rapper. He's canadian!? Asexual drake...

19:45 大喜利: improvisation one-liners 十河　「こんな吸血鬼は嫌だ。どんな吸血鬼？」 > I hate these types of vampires. Which types? 叶　「やめろって大喜利、質問で出してくるの」 > Stop sending prompts in these questions. The definition "quiz-like (TV) comedy segment in which participants improvise one-liners based on a given theme" is much more clearer than "prompt," but it was the best word I could think of! Japanese variety shows really like that kind of stuff, huh.

21:50 一反木綿: Ittan-momen(one bolt of cotton) Floating white cloths. That choke people. Japanese folklore! There are a few yokai I've heard of, but this isn't one of them.

22:50 派: group 猫屋敷　「犬派ですか？猫派ですか？」 > Are you a dog person? Or a cat person? There's no English word, but you hear this a lot in both Japanese in Mandarin(pai, 4th tone). For any kind of "pick a side between these two" situation, you'd use it: kinoko/takenoko, cereal before/after milk, etc.

23:40 かろうじて, 繰り上がり: narrowly / to move up in rank or order 葛葉　「まさかリーダーっぽい人が一人もいない」 > To think that there isn't a single leader-like person at all. 葛葉　「かろうじて繰り上がりでリーダーだよね」 > She was narrowly promoted to leader, right?

24:30 管轄: jurisdiction 皇　「ライブでのかわいいキメポーズを伝授してほしい！」 > I'd like you to teach me a cute pose to strike during a live! 葛葉　「ちょっとそれ管轄外なんで。」 > That's a little outside of my jurisdiction. 叶　「わかんない～」 > I dunno~

25:00 予備: reserve, spare 皇　「三角チョコパイ何口で食べれますか！！！」 > How many bites can you finish a triangle choco pie in!!! 葛葉　「一、二、三、四、五…予備で六」 > One, two, three, four, five... and just in case, six. We've been starting to get Japan-core-McDonalds-specials in Taiwan recently, and I got to eat a triangle pie for the first time the other day. It would probably take me about eight to ten bites to finish, especially because the filling kept dripping out and was a bit of a hassle to eat. This is the same "reserve" from the "reserve course" in Danganronpa!! 予備学科の日向くん！

26:10 カンニング, 控える: cheating on exams / to be in preparation for, to be in waiting for 皇　「カンニングってしたことありますか？もしあればどんな方法か教えてください」 > Have you ever cheated on tests before? If you have, please teach me some tips. 葛葉　「何、控えてる？テスト」| > What? Are you studying for something? / Do you have a test coming up? 控える also means to hold back, to take notes, and to be in a close relationship? 控 usually means "control" in mandarin, so I was confused at first. Kanji really can mean anything, huh.

27:25 合: traditional unit of volume, approx. 180 ml(rice) 篠宮　「今まで一食でお米は何合食べたことありますか？篠宮は一食三合までなら経験あります。」 > How much go of rice was the most you've eaten up until now? Shinomiya has eating 3 go in one meal before.

28:05 ドクターストップ: Doctor's orders 葛葉　「それドクターストップ、さすがに」 > Don't do that. Doctor's orders. Very confused if this is a meme or an actual saying.

29:30 跳び箱: vaulting box I just wanted to comment that it seems vaulting boxes aren't a thing in most English-speaking countries! It seems that it's something only gymnasts learn to use. Which means not everyone had to attempt and fail to jump over boxes in front of the whole class as a P.E. requirement...? :/

30:45 状態: condition 城瀬　「ねむり姫状態（めっちゃ寝てします）から抜け出す方法を教えてください」 > Please teach me how to break free from the sleeping beauty condition(falling asleep a lot) 葛葉　「うわ～すぷれあ…待ってたよ、君たちを…！」 > Wow, Splare... I've been waiting for you...! 叶　「何や、ねむり姫状態って。起きろ！」 > The hell is a sleeping beauty condition? Wake up!

31:25 ～なくちゃいけない: need to ~ 叶　「スキルブック、あれ嫌なんだよね」 > I don't like the skill book. 叶　「左手に持ってなくちゃいけないじゃん」 > Because you need to hold it in your left hand, right? なくてはいけないis the full form of this. There are a million ways to say "need" that I'll get into some other time(because I don't remember them either haha).

32:30 滝行: waterfall training 城瀬　「すぷれあにやってほしい企画は？」 > Any projects you'd like Splare to do? 葛葉　「滝行。やっぱ高校生なんで、一回…」 > Waterfall training. Since you're high schoolers, just once... 叶　「高校生の時に、滝行やってるイメージある？」 > You think high schoolers go waterfall training?

33:10 音符: musical note 葛葉　「なんか音符ついてる。なんかあるのかな」 > There are music notes. Does that mean something? Onpu is also the name of the purple one in Ojamajo Doremi ♪

33:40 数こなす: go through many experiences 城瀬　「ホラー克服の仕方を教えてください。」 > Please teach me how to overcome horror. 葛葉　「数こなす」 > Get through them. Check here for more explanations. In this context, it means that you should play a lot of horror to get over it. Like exposure therapy!! EXPOSURE THERAPY!!! Maybe I should've written that instead!!!!!

37:10 ～れる・～ない: potential and negative forms 花籠　「後輩と二人で行ける場所のラインはどこまで？」 > Where's the furthest you'd go with a kouhai? 葛葉　「どこでも行けるけど、どこにも行かないね。」 > I could go anywhere, but I won't go anywhere. 叶　「どこにも行かない。どこでも行けるよ」 > I won't go anywhere. I could do anywhere, though. I think this is a nice example explaining the difference between "can" and "will".

I'm getting a lot of work done because there's no school for a week! By the time I'm posting this, the break is probably already over, though... Tomodachi Life next week. (ﾉ･д･)ﾉ
