What's so bad about Synchronizer. I am afraid of change.

[Laith]

…Well, it was also due to the scenario director's foolish
blunder.
He knew that "arc-en-ciel" meant "rainbow" in French,
but he mixed up which word meant what, hahaha.
He only noticed his mistake a little bit before the Half-
moon edition went on sale, when he was listening to a
song by a certain band.
The song was titled "ciel", and was about the sky.
Honestly, it was kind of irritating, but at that point the
scenario was already complete, and changing Ciel's name
so late into development didn't feel right. In the end, he
just tried to push through and finish without thinking
about it too much.

Haha, this is great, thank McJon.

I don't really care what you call it, I just changed it because Nasu said it's not synchronizing, it's a one-sided additive process where the practitioner adds their own energy to the target. So it's like:

Sympathy: feeling "for" someone, one-sided flow
Empathy: feeling "with" someone, flow goes both ways

[Rockxas]

This is so beautiful. Thank you Mcjon, thank you so much. ;_____;

[Mcjon01]

Basically, if I'm putting in the work I have the right to be hipster with terminology when the fancy strikes me.

[Siriel]

But no "masters of their domain"?

[Mcjon01]

I abandoned that so I could make a Watchmen reference.

Also, I think the entry for chaos is my favorite in terms of sheer wut out of nowhere.

[Siriel]

Yeah, it stands out a lot.

[Rafflesiac]

If you're wondering what an entry like this is doing in

this encyclopedia, it's because he got name-dropped in


one of the routes, during a conversation between


Arcueid and Ciel.

This happened? I missed that completely.

[Mcjon01]

Ciel Route (True (Or Good? I forget. Double parentheses!)) after Ciel comes back from headquarters with the Black Barrel.

Okay, definitely Good.

[Lianru]

Oh hey those dictionary entries that I was going to translate.
Good thing I never actually started on them.

Thank you! 8D

Crimson Lord techniques huh... Guess if there's a Tsukihime 2 and Akiha appears we might see a new tier of her power...

[Mcjon01]

Kouma uses them.

[Siriel]

They're called setting people on fire and punching them, aren't they?

[Rockxas]

Kouma uses them.

Where is that mentioned? The games' stories, their move lists, or supplemental materials?

[Mcjon01]

Move lists. Kouma's Another Arc Drive has the "Crimson Lord" tag instead of Dokkaku, and they also gave him two Crimson Lord moves on his fake move list in the third popularity poll.

...Yes.

[Rockxas]

Hmm, I see. I still hope to see Akiha use a Crimson Lord tech at some point on a powerful enemy like one of the 27 DAA, perhaps even with an actual freezing effect. Once again, thank you for the translations Mcjon.

Originally she was the girl offered up as a sacrifice during the creation of the Seventh Holy Scripture, but
after her death she merged with the holy beast used as
the scripture's foundation and ended up with her current
form.

Damn, so unicorn was a divine beast. I wonder how they killed it and also what it was doing outside the backside of the world a few hundreds years ago.

[Sherrinford]

Kudos to Mcjon for his work, it really looks neat.
