#translation notes

Subtitled this scene from Fox Wets Its Tail since there's a lot of differences from the English dub.

I noticed that the IQIYI version of The Prosecutor's Proposal omits that the intro uses AI in it's visuals, whereas the gaga version has a text disclaimer when the opening is playing — I know it's pretty obvious, but still appreciated the honesty in the taiwanese version.

The gaga subs are also putting some notes during certain scenes which adds a little bit more context that is missing at IQIYI. Like during their sex scene the line "I don't want to see you." can also be translated as "I don't want you to see (me)."

早くいくといい･･･････ 私が宇宙人の役になって 君を食べてしまうことも出来るのだからね You should leave soon... I could always play the role of an alien and eat you, you know.

In JP, Kotoyuki also recognizes Shu as his childhood friend.

His tone here becomes much more casual and familiar compared to earlier. For example, prior to this Kotoyuki says 「 行きなさい」 (ikinasai, "Go now") which is a polite, authoriative way to request someone to leave. But here, he instead says 「早くいくといい」 (hayaku iku to ii, "you should leave soon") which is more casual and closer to friendly advice.

He even does lighthearted banter here, saying that he could "play the role of an alien". This shows how Kotoyuki recalls their time playing Space Wars and fighting aliens together.

This banter is completely gone in the Eng text.

Eng Kotoyuki instead says he's "still a monster who won't hesitate to consume you". Eng Kotoyuki sounds more like he's reaffirming his role as a domineering nobleman, when that's not what he does in JP.

Since there’s no JP translation, I’ve been SLOWLY translating it into JP as I read.

I’m throwing my translation notes into a Notion page. If anyone’s interested, I can send you the read-only link lol (Warning: these are very much “my version” of the text and not an accurate or professional translation)
