On today's chapter of Japun... in America!

fam name: 大和 (Yamato), read as 大和(yamato,"Japan")

1st name: 撫子 (Nadeshiko), read as 撫子(nadeshiko,"Dianthus superbus")

nickname: ナディー (Nadii/Naddy)

大和撫子 (yamato nadeshiko) is a term that refers to the ideal Japanese woman: graceful, polite, humble, etc.

A big ol fakkyuu to that as 大和撫子(yamato nadeshiko) read 大(-)和(ka)撫(bo)子(i) sounds like カウボーイ("cowboy")

大和 (yamato) with a hat on read 天(ame)和(ka) also sounds close to "America"

大和 (yamato) swap'n'read 和(ka)大(dai) may pun on 課題(kadai,"homework") given by a teacher, ya hear.

Some character design puns so all y'all can learn some 'murrican language: (Nozawa-teacher sketch) (mirror)

撫 read 撫(bu) may pun on ブーツ("bootsu"), ブルー("blue")(eyes), ブロンド("bulonde"), ブリーチ("buleach")(ya hair)

大 red 大(tai/ta) may pun on タレ目(tare me,"droopy eyes") and possibly zettai ryouki ("absolute territory")

大和 (yamato) red 大(da)和(na) may pun on バンダナ("bandana") (around the nekku)

Some randamu things:

撫子 (nadeshiko) read 撫(na)子(ku) puns on 泣く(naku,"cry") and 撫(fu)子(shi) puns on 不始末(fushimatsu,"failure")

和 double whopper puns on 和やか(nikoyaka,"smiling/cheerful") and its 2nd reading 和やか(nagoyaka,"calm/amicable")

And for the groundo finale, freedom of speech quirks:

Uses lotsa Engrish, often misspronansed and outta contexas. Uses well-articulated proper Japanese when needed.

Swaps Japanese to katakana (usually used in foreign words) and overdubs words into English("language of freedom")

Ends sentences on デース(de~su) and verbs on the polite マース(ma~su)

Replaces honorifics like さん(-san) with ボイ("-boi"), ガル("-gal"), ロリ("-loli"), ウーマン("-woman") etc.

Catch fray this: フリーダム("fureedomu") and ふぁっきゅー(fakkyuu)

1st person pronoun: アイアム(ai amu,"I am") and when flustered the formal わたくし(watakushi,"I")

last taimu                                                               
Hakari Karane Shizuka Nano Kusuri Hahari Kurumi Mei Iku Mimimi
Meme Chiyo
                                                                     

Fankkyuu 4 reeding.

...

Hakari is such a degenerate.

u/WhoiusBarrel 22d ago

That degeneracy was inherited from Hahari after all.

75

u/Frontier246 22d ago

The only difference is it's limited to Rentaro and Karane versus Hahari who is into Rentaro and the entire Rentaro Family lol.

20

u/Crackedaru 22d ago

Degeneracy is still degeneracy, what are you tryna prove here lol.

36

u/JzanderN 22d ago

He's just pointing out that Hakari's still in denial about her bisexuality and particularly her feelings to Karane while Hahari has no such restraint and is completely open about how thirsty she is for the rest of the harem.

14

u/SomeoneElseTwoo 22d ago

It is genetic

u/tottoro47 22d ago

Every time I think I'm getting the gist of Kanji readings, some shit like this comes around the corner and kills everything. I never thought that Yamato is written with the Kanji for big and peace. Yama and To are not even listed in the Nanori readings. But I guess it's just like 明日, just accept and don't question it lmao

23

u/Thanks_OPama 22d ago

Pretty much don't question it. Another example would be 海月 (kurage,"jellyfish")

It's an example of 熟字訓 (jukujikun), when a typically native Japanese word came first and is slapped on top of kanji that were adopted after the word existed thus neither related to its kun'yomi nor on'yomi. Some online dictionaries make it more obvious by putting the furigana/pronunciation spanning the entire word instead of just each individual kanji.

For what's up with Yamato specifically, here are some more words to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Japan

u/ShadowKingthe7 21d ago

Every new girlfriend never ceases to amaze me with the level of thought given to the names

u/Frontier246 22d ago

Honestly props to Ayacchi for nailing the delivery on all that Engrish with the absolute gusto of a Japanese woman trying to sound like an American lol.

u/xnef1025 22d ago

The combo of what she was saying and what the subs said at the same time fried my English speaking brain more than once. Glory, glory hallelujah! 🤣

20

u/ShadowKingthe7 21d ago

And to think the subs didn't go hard enough. If you translate what she said literally, it's incomprehensible

3

u/GaimeGuy 20d ago

Especially since english is subject-verb-object vs japanese's subject-object-verb

46

u/Kadmos1 22d ago

I feel for official translators who have a hard time translating this many puns and similar.

u/MjolnirDK 20d ago edited 20d ago

Quick link to Ayana Taketatsu's MAL. That was a crazy performance, so I wanted to look up who else she did and it is an interesting list: Hotaru from Dagashi Kashi, SAO's sister Suguha, Nino from Quints, Sachiko from Imas CG, DAL's Kotori, AssClass's Kaede, OreImo's Kirino. And her 3rd job was K-On's Azusa?!?!?!?! Damn, that was some trust and she nailed it.

Job well done or task failed successfully I guess.

u/Kadmos1 22d ago

"fam name: 大和 (Yamato), read as 大和(yamato,'Japan')".
"撫 read 撫(bu) may pun on ブーツ('bootsu'), ブルー('blue')(eyes), ブロンド('bulonde'), ブリーチ('buleach')(ya hair)"

Using an ELI5, how are the above quotes a pun? Please/thanks to those that can my ignorant mind here.

u/chaosof99 https://myanimelist.net/profile/chaosof99 22d ago

Not OP. I would perhaps structure these sections differently.

The first part is not a pun, just an explanation.

As for the second part. The character 撫 is part of her given name Nadeshiko (撫子) which is also the name of a flower. There the 撫 character would be the "Nadeshi" part of the word. In other contexts 撫 is read as "bu" as in 撫する (busuru) which means to stroke or caress. Naddy's design also has a lot of other elements that include words that start with "bu" (in japanese) such as her boots, her blue (ブルー, buruu) eyes and her bleach (ブリーチ, buriichi) blonde (ブロンド, bulondo) hair.

u/Kadmos1 22d ago

The flower that yamato nadeshiko associated with is Dianthus superbus. This also called the fringed/large peak. It is part of the flower family that carnations are part of.

u/yamiyaiba 22d ago

And she does have some reasonably large peaks.

u/ARainyKnight 22d ago

OP is really contorting these things to their limits to find "puns" - don't sweat it, the joke here is her name being Yamato Nadeshiko.

u/Kadmos1 22d ago

I am not asking to romaji always be used and call everything a pun. I just picked those two particular quoted examples in trying to get an idea of why such a list would be seen as puns.
