>In Dark Souls, the Japanese "jujutsu" was translated to pyromancy
>>
how the hell would you translate it then?

wasn't jujutsu a grappling technique?
>>
and what does a tranny have to do with that
>>
>>747329980
The martial art is じゅうじゅつ. OP is talking aboutじゅじゅつ
>>
jutsu just means magic or secret technique. like ninjutsu is ninja magic.
>>
>>747329980
No that's jewjitsu.
It translates into:
to grab the opponent by the wallet
>>
>>747329980
it has strikes and kicks too but mostly to take the opponent down, it's not a striking art per se. Don't mistake it with (gay) BJJ which is a sport, not a martial art

You can't do pyromancy because many of the spells are unrelated to fire.
>>

foreskin is your wallet where you store your soul.

Jujutsu just means "gentle skill" at the end of the day.

It isn't as egregious as FFVIII calling it's heroine Rinoa instead of Lenore like it's supposed to be a direct reference to. A mistake that you see throughout the entire game.
>>
>>747329519
Seems to be an improvement.
I'd think they were retarded for putting the spell that makes you invisible under Sorcery, not Jutsu.
>>
>>747330751
呪術 not 柔術
>>
>>747330509
So whats the difference between jujutsu and whatever their word for sorcery is? I aasume a mircle is at least the same concept of something being done by or through God.
>>
But the original language is english? All the japanese words are translations.
>>
>>747331045
Think it's 魔術(まじゅつ). They're both 術 but one's 魔 and the other 呪

>>747329782
nta but that word means like shamanistic magic rather than capital M magic. Think hoodoo. Conjuration would be much better. That's how abyssal archive translated it. It puts spells like poison mist, undead raport, and flash sweat more into context. Also helps the lore make sense. The witches of izaleth werent trying to make fire magic, they created a whole new species of magic based on elements and nature. Such is why pyromancers in the game are all from the great swamp, hillbillies close to nature vs vilheim in their school and books vs miracles in their churches
>>
>>747330751
>>747329519
This is exactly why direct translation of jujutsu kaisen is literally - "battle of curse techniques", which is exactly what they fucking do in there.
>>
>>747329519
Damn, I'm glad chadslators changed it then, pyromancy sounds so much better
>>
>>747330098
that's lily lou a real woman
>>
>>747329980
you are thinking of jiujitsu.
never forget those I's.
they are what separate the gentle art from the fiery doom of pyromancy.
I once tried to gently grapple a woman, only to realize I was not being selfish enough and had omitted "I" from my thoughts.
My love was instantly incinerated in a blob of fire, and from then on I was a hollowed.
>>
>>747331418
witchcraft would fit as well
>>
>>747331568
The fuck is ジウジツ
>>
>>747331568
The i's are westoids mishearing the original word, which is juujutsu. It has a long juu differentiating it from jujutsu which is a short first ju.

So Dark Souls plagiarised Jujutsu Kaisen?

How could this be bros... I thought Miyamoto was making KINO roll slop???
>>
>>747332417
I dont know anything about that shit show but I did look at porn of nobara one time.
>>
>>747331418
well sheeet why didn't they just put that in the game? I thought people just feared they'd make a fire out of control
>>
>>747330509
The only pyromancies that had truly nothing to do with fire were poison ones
>>
>>747332646
If only you looked at it two times. Then you'd know more than 99% of jujutsu kaisen fans.
>>
>>747331418
>>747331449
wait why didn't they just call it curse? has a muvh better black magic feel
>>
>>747331616
Agreed. But I feel like they may have avoided that now that witch is seen as a gendered thing and all the daughters of izalith are women (until they mention the brother later.) might have seemed like it would make laurentious come off as zesty or give other lore implications.
>>
hows loathsome dung eater in yellowspeak?
>>
>>747332417
I thought it just meant sorcery.
>>
>>747333301
He was created by George "the more she drank the more she shat" RR Martin so he has no yellow name.
>>
>>747333421
RR Martin says he did background world building. Unless the Dung Eater is important to the lore I don't think he had anything to do with that.
>>
>>747333301
Just looked it up
>忌まわしき糞喰い
Might as well be "disgusting shit eater".
糞喰らえ (eat shit) is a common generic insult in Japanese like "fuck you" is in English.

All the Dark Souls games were always intended to be in English though

>>
>>747333893
I think 忌まわしき is stronger than just disgusting.
>>
>>747333949
Even so miyazaki never spoke it so its riddled with inaccuracies
>>
>>747334094
The point is the Poopoo Man is not very respected by the Nihonjins.
>>
>>747333949
Meaningless statement. If you can look at the Japanese, look at the english and see differences(that aren't explained by differences inherent to the languages) that's the only thing that matters.
>>
>>747334279
Such pedestian taste

>>747331418
The Great Swamp was the original iteration of Izalith before it became a lava swamp. What a fucking mess of a location
>>
>>747333301
A very important thing about him is that his Seedbed Curse is the same "curse" as the word translated to "Omen" elsewhere in the script.
Obviously his appearance and placement in the game etc. is enough to speculate a connection, but in Japanese it's unambiguous.
>>
>>747329519
that's cool because i made my ninja character a pyromancer in both ds1 and 3

Oh like how soul of cinder is 王たちの化身 something like Avatar of Kings explicitly stating that it's a representation of every player that linked the flame.

What are the differences between Japanese words for magic? I'm assuming "mahou" is the default one but I always thought it had some type of evil connotations.

Lords of Cinder are dudes that linked the flame. At least two of those are actual player character undead guys from DS1 and 2. We can assume that a lot of the other lords of cinder throughout history were also undead similar to the player characters. The Soul of Cinder switches between weapons and movesets reminiscent of the weapons and movesets you can use as a player throughout the games.
It doesn't take a genius to put two and two together.
>>
>>747331317
It is honestly the most fun archetype of souls run

SL1 Dark Souls is, by default, a pyro run (with a lightning reinforced club and a fire hand axe and a ghost blade if you are lucky).
>>
>>747330509
Except they did do pyromancy and not a single person complained. You're only whining like a child now because you found an excuse to, not because there is actually something wrong. Dark Souls is full of shit where some of the miracles are not literal miracles, some of the weapon types aren't accurate to what they are, ect. It's part of the charm of the series that it has completely unique logics for shit like what a basilisk is and does.

呪術 (jujutsu, not the matrial arts) has a slight touch of 'witchdoctor' magic, meaning it is more primal and more rooted in shamanism. Pyromancy is about dude burning things.

Both work here, Jujutsu makes you imagine Laurentius being a hick from the swamp. Pyromancy makes you imagine fireballs. None is worse off, although the Jujutsu one is a bit more in accordance with how disparagingly the learned sorcerers speak about that art.
