Things I learned about Takeo Masaki listening to all of his voice lines ripped from Totenreich that everyone should probably know:
All credit goes to redsovietelise for the rips and uploading them for everyone to enjoy!
Is now using the โsanโ honorific more frequently with Richtofen (but seems to alternate between Richtofen-san and Edward-san)
Says the spirits of the place theyโre in are screaming in agony. It sounds like he believes the people just accepted their fate?
He also says this isnโt much different than the fishing villages heโs been to in Japan, and would like to find a sake brewer.
Not sure what Takeo is referring to but he calls something a Ningyo, which is a Japanese folklore creature that is half human, half fish.
Thinks everywhere theyโve been in the Dark Aether is just hell.
Refers to the Necropincer as an Oni of the ocean.
I have no context but he just says โBe offensive Nikolai! I know you can do it!โ
Mentions that chasing a Yokai rarely ends well and it sounds like that comes from experience.
Believes the cold can break minds, but theyโre all already broken so they have nothing to worry about.
Believes the Warden parted with compassion a long time ago.
Believes fire can destroy but also represent new life and that feels like foreshadowing for Kowakujo?
Carbonation and nuclear power vexes him.
Believes that the only beating Group 935 needed was an ass beating (but he royally fucked up the saying).
It does seem like heโs trying more โmodernโ idioms and sayings but canโt really seem to get them right? I have a quote of โI have a stone but no sticks. My bones shall remain unbroken.โ so I donโt think he knows what they mean.
Says he could eat any fish.
Totenreich is the map where he understands why everyone hates Richtofen now. Feels like a fool for trying to defend him.
Says Tank smells worse than a wombats fondoshi (a traditional Japanese loincloth or undergarment)
Thereโs no way to summarize this quote. But he says โI fear what happens when my soul is finally restored. What if the pieces do not fit together? What if I am too broken to be whole once more?โ We all know something happened with his family, likely around his brother. And I think that might be why he feels he is not worthy in being restored.
Genuinely has on idea how man could build Tyr, or any other giant robot. Heโs seen buildings that might scrape its ankles but no taller.
Also believed any man building a big robot is compensating for a โvery small soulโ.
Is following Tankโs motto of โfuck itโ.
I think when being ejected from Tyr he says heโs landed wrong and fears for his coccyx. So he might have, literally, busted his ass.
Has cut off at least 17 heads (โIf I had a jar for every head I cut off, I would have 17 jarsโ).
Thinks fish TEDD is a Namazu, which is an earthquake causing catfish like creature in Japanese mythology.
Used to ayu fish with his brother.
Another one thatโs hard to summarize but he says โNever mistake a simple life for a meaningless one. That is how evil minds justify destroying worlds like this.โ
Says the men in the pleasure district say โNever under estimate a small manโ. Soโฆhas been to a pleasure district before?
Has a line about blowing away the ashes of the past that feels intentional.
Believes personal wisdom will only take one so far.
Has had lice multiple times in the past.
Thinks the twins either hold a powerful spirit, or are a powerful spirit themselves. He also comments that he has no recollection of them, so he doesnโt understand how the dead one knows him.
Tuesday was his best day.
Doesnโt understand how space can even be broken.
Says science and magic are actually very similar.
Iโm not confident on this one, but it sounds like to him soy beans are capable of driving out evil?
He tells Maya she has grown so much since theyโve met that he believes she will exceed all of them.
I have no context or trigger for this. But he says โYou remind me of someone. They also did not have a face.โ I think heโs hunted and faced a Noppera-bล?
