Hey there, need help with some translation minutiae that affects what tier an important layer of the Isekai Maou cosmology gets placed at. It's in regards to the line "三千大千世界" which in the official English release is translated as "countless worlds and universes". My argument is that the author was clearly referencing "Sanzen Daisen Sekai" which is the term for the Buddhist cosmology, which has an infinite number of world systems. This may be more of a cultural thing though as I'm not sure if a Japanese audience interprets it as literally the infinite worlds of Buddhism or if it's some kind of colloquialism that's used to represent a large but finite amount of worlds. Either way, hope you take a look and give your input.

Would it make more sense in context for the author to be referring to a literal 3000 universes or the Buddhist cosmology itself which shares the same phrase? I added more proof in a post on the CRT, particularly this line:
此は運命律を歪曲できる《ヘルヴェティアの槍》―異なる世界から持ちこまれた、定められし無限 記憶に縛られぬ超越魔法具。
Which in the English version is translated as: "This is the Lance of Helvetia, capable of distorting the laws of destiny. An Adh Artifact unfettered by the bounds of Akasha, that was brought here from another world."
However when I ran it through DeepL I got: "The "Spear of Helvetia" - a transcendent magical tool brought from another world, unbound by memories of a predetermined infinity, capable of distorting the rules of destiny."
When this is read with the context of "三千大千世界" and the same character Klem describing their world as existing in a stream of countless possibilities, and that fate/predetermined futures exists in verse, is the "predetermined infinity" not referencing the infinite alternate worlds?

I mostly translate Chinese text. You might need to get someone else to ensure accuracy.

Sounds good, thanks for the help. I already reached out to TheUnshakableOne but they said it'd be a few days before they could look it over. Just wanted to know if I was on the right track.


Help would be apreciated (Also could you call the other mods?)

Can you give your opinion on this thread?

Hey, hey, fanta here. Been a while since my last attempt for a calc eval (and it is probs lost to the void at this point), so... Here's attempt number two for my AP calc and at the very least it isn't a calc comp, lel. Check it out if you've the time.

... And have this extremely short LS calc I made on a whim and am 90% sure is wrong and is more just me experimenting with LS calc methods, lel.
I need a guy who knows plot patterns hax for here. I would appreciate it if you could help.
Hi, could you check out this simple verse ability CRT?

I am thinking of opening a nep crt within 1 month, it is better to collect more information in any case. If you have any arguments, you can post them here (optional and empty) I will evaluate the arguments and open a topic.

Hey Damage,

I was looking to confirm that this calc is okay? This was part of a this crt that you said looked, but unsure if that included the calc too. If so, could you give it the approval under the calc.
Hello! if you have time, can you please check this out?
Can you please check out this thread if you heaven't?
Yo, I've been wondering about this feat you calced. In the second panel we see that the galaxy gets actually blown apart to a far greater level past the explosion itself

It looks like pieces of the galaxy were blown away thousands of light years away even outside the main explosion that eventually turned into a black hole. Do you have any ideas how this could be calced? I feel like ignoring it severely downplays the value this actually scales to.

what do you mean exactly? If its a tier change then you would just need to change the tier and justification to accommodate the new tier. Example

Old: 4-A Big blast destroy solar system(calc attached)

New 3-C Big blast destroy solar system and then some(New calc attached)

You would change both the tier and attack potency/ all other relevant parts

and you would just need to do that for the keys affected.

Btw I opened another CRT, please check it out when you're free
The Category:Stone Walls page lists the player character from Baldi's Basics as an example of a stone wall type of character, even though that's no longer the case as of Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, which you can easily discover by looking at the character's VS Battles Wiki profile. That character should be removed from the list. The page is locked for me, but you can probably edit it because you're a content moderator, so please do so.
