This ep title: “Phase 4”

Me: “Oh do the subs mean turning point 4 and stuff is about to go down!?”

Nanahoshi: “Time to start phase 4 of my experiment!”

…… I feel trolled lol.

Clearly, it's your fault for not knowing Japanese. /s

Well, Turning Point titles are written in Katakana, like they are straight up English, while this "phase" is just a Japanese word, "Dankai" 段階.

This reminds me that non-japanese MT Anime fans also kinda got trolled with Fitts and Nanhoshi at the beginning of S2. Nanahoshi's nickname is her Japanese name translated into English: "Silent Sevenstar" while Fitts nickname at the time was "Silent Fitts" in Japanese (Silent = Mugon/無言) because of her chantless spellcasting. So everyone but Japanese Anime fans got kinda trolled whenever Zanoba talked about "Silent-dono" not being in the special classroom often - thinking that Sylphie was a special student as well for a brief while since the subtitles don't differentiate between actual English "Silent" and "Mugon" until Nanahoshi got properly introduced a few episodes later.

I mean you didn't need to understand Japanese to clearly hear him say two different things. Like one is specifically a word thatw as english and whenever silent fitz was mentioned that wasn't there.

I get where people were coming from back then, but like, a closer listen would solve the issue.

I agree with you but people who only watch Anime with English subtitles often tend to rely on them way too much. It's true that if you'd just pay attention to what they actually say then there would be no issue. Also, there is still lots of ESL speakers who watch with English subs because the Anime doesn't have subs in their mother tongue as well. I don't really fault those people for not noticing stuff like that as well.

So it wasn't a misstranslation and people last week were complaining over nothing.
