Quick question about how the “World” works.

So, as far as I understand, an “Anti-World” noble phantasm is capable of “stripping away” a part of the world up to the “imaginary number space barrier” and cannot reach into the “Reverse Side”. An “Anti-Planet” noble phantasm can (presumably) destroy both parts of a “world” (the regular world, the imaginary number space, and the reverse world connected to it), however… does this mean that each planet has its own “world” and “reverse world”? Are they not all linked together?

Nasuverse is confusing as hell sometimes…

Sick, thanks.

which is kind of stupid, really, and should be acknowledged as the sheer plot-ancillary contrivance it is rather than anything serious

Do magi have to learn foreign languages the same way as everyone else, or do they have cheats?

Its talked about in the UBW epilogue (not sure if it was in the anime too, but its in the Nasu script book).
Magi use intent transmission formulae to get around the language barrier. However, it is not a full substitute for learning the language itself as certain nuances may be lost.

Amazing how that one magus got flamed hardcore for calling a certain grimoire writer's spells lacking in grace and intelligence without being able to comprehend the true meaning.

I can't believe magi use MTL

Why is it that SHIKI Tohno's name is differentiated from Shiki Nanaya's by using all caps rather than making it a homophone in English translations? Is there an actual reason for this?

It's phased a bit more Romanticly than that

Clock Tower, Library
A wide, solemn space.
Rin is looking for Shirou.
There are stately bookshelves standing wall to wall, storing an abundance of books. This library has antique books of all lengths.
Alone in a reading chair, Shirou fervently reads.
He doesn't have the look of studying magecraft, but rather, for the Bar exam. In the middle of his self-study, Shirou looks up from his desk but is still lost in thought. It's a confused and anguished face.
Seeing this, Rin pumps herself up, and casually calls out.
Rin: Thanks for your hard work. So, you were here, then?
Shirou sees Rin and is slightly surprised.
Shirou: Tohsaka? Don't you still have cla --
Rin: Training ended early today.
She sees the books Shirou was reading. Books on language, history, and politics.
Rin: Italian after English? Just learn magecraft that transmits your intentions and be done. You really are honest to fault.
Shirou: Maybe. . . but aren't there things that can't be conveyed to a country's native speakers unless you're speaking their language?
Rin shrugs her shoulders in an exasperated manner.

What's the homophone going to be?

Shekey?

[MiracleStar]

Shick-e would be funny I think

...nothing specific actually comes to mind though. I had just figured that it would make more sense, but then again, the fact that there's 500 Shiki's is a bit silly to begin with.

Because there's virtually no way to make a distinction between homographic names like kanji do. Also because capslock as a means of distinguishing the names evokes Shiki being cheeky and scrawling his name in katakana on the wall. And finally because it was a convention introduced by one of the OG English-speaking TM sites.

Thank you, I didn't know that! The name engraving being related to it is also an interesting way to look at that

I seriously fuck with this because yeah, you'd be shocked at how easy it is to seemingly communicate in english flawlessly as long as you have a perfect accent from an english-speaking country. Sentences have gibberish ordering? Weird phraseology? Incorrect use of words? Literally doesn't matter, you're about to fly under the radar for 20+ years.

I'd like to think of it as the spirit of one's intentions shining through. Language doesn't matter as much as what's in your heart... it's a universal heart language, and some people speak it flawlessly
