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?)

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.

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.
