Hidan no Aria:Volume6 Translator's Notes

Extra[edit]

Lit. means that I translated it directly. If it is not present, it means that I made a few alterations for the sake of localization.
Bolded words are in Mandarin.

[1] 'Dogun' is the SFX for a slightly harder heartbeat, in relation to 'Doki'. 'Giku' is the SFX for a surprised heartbeat.

[1] International Armed Detectives Association (Conjecture.)
[2] Might be worth it to point out that "Aiya" is quite a used onomatopoeia in Chinese. Has the same connotation as "Oh my," or something along those lines. Also used as a sign of surprise.
[3] Lit. Twin Snake Beheading Crush. This is an extremely strange mix of Chinese and Japanese, the 双蛇 being pronounced in something like Chinese, and the 刎颈崩 using Japanese pronunciations.

[4] The Japanese word for love is, "恋", which is pronounced "こい (Koi)". Aria was spamming "こ Ko", which is also the sfx of a chicken, in the context, "ココ Koko". The missing, "い i" is what Kinji's pointing out when he says she can't say that last syllable, finishing the word.
[5] フルモッフ (Furumoffu) is used here. もふもふ (MofuMofu) is the sound effect for furry, and as such, フルモッフ is literally "Full furry." This is similar slang to the フルボッコ (Furubokko) that Riko used before.

[1] Hiraga-san is saying, "デキてる (Dekiteru)", which carries the connotation of getting along well, or perhaps being lovey-dovey. This turn of phrase is rather hard to explain. At any rate, Tohyama-san is saying, "できてる (Dekiteru)", which, in this case, means, "Is it finished?" However, because they are homophones, he isn't really getting the point across.
[2] Jeanne says this in English. It is her catchphrase.
[3] Sendra is a play on Quadra, which is an Italian word. 千(Sen) is the Japanese word for one thousand.
[4] Introvert is Kinji, and Wordless is Reki
[5] Reki's name is written [レキ] as opposed to [れき], though they share the same pronunciation.

[1] 彼女 (Kanojo) means both 'she' and 'girlfriend'. Kinji misunderstood her the first time she said it, though she really meant to say "she", as explained.
[2] Nishijin means 'Western Front'.
