“Teacher” was changed to “Master” because Teacher is mistranslation.

lol

Thanks!

“Teacher” was changed to “Master” because Teacher is mistranslation.

Let me show you the official translation from the manga

Note: “Teacher” was changed to “Master” because Teacher is mistranslation.

Same shit, you genderqueer monkey

@azusa_miura and @Kamiyan93

All manga are either fan manga or official manga because sometimes wrong and sometimes correct.

depend on Google dictionary, sometimes some change

Let me tell you:

*Teacher = Sensei (all elementary and high school student always said "Sensei or Teacher')

*Master = Shishou

According to one of my friend list said:

"Teacher is Kyoushi (教師) and Shisho (師匠) is much more formal than teacher. You are in the care of your Shisho (Master) while the Kyoushi (Teacher) does not have that authority.

My advice is: instead of looking in the Dictionary for the literal meaning, put some effort into understanding the context. Japanese is the most context-heavy language. Even if you have a dictionary, those dictionaries will not explain nuances and context to you like this. Shisho isn't just your teacher, Shisho is the master of the Art and you are the disciple of that Artist. Teacher just does not capture the formality of the çontext.

'Teacher' is a much more tame definition that revolves around a person who academically teaches people without any authority over their life and well-being.

I honestly don't think it's that big of a deal, but the first blog post from Kaleido gave info about their "teacher" translation.

I can't remember it correctly but I agreed with them then. Unfortunately, the website is currently down because of copyright strikes so I can't link it now.

I disagree with the choice but there are way better hills to die on than this. Who cares anyway, show's shit.

Lemme help you

"This person clearly does not know enough English and does not understand Linguism in general. Because 'Master' does not only mean 'Slave Master'. It also means 'a Master of the Art'. Someone who masters an Art. There's a reason we say "Master and Disciple". We don't say "Teacher and Disciple". That's just not how languages work.

By your friendly weeb translator - PunPun."

Another:

"Shishō is also like an honorific version of the word 'Mentor' in a way". If you can only think of 'Slave Master' when you hear the word 'Master' then that tells more about how corrupt your view of language is same way you would probably view the Swastika, which was originally a symbol of fortune, peace, and happiness, as a symbol of hatred. Just because she was a slave, doesn't mean she's gonna ignore the second meaning of the word, if she were to speak English, hypothetically. She is educated enough to understand that stigma is not the end-all and be-all of language."

Thanks Azusa_Miura

I still think their argument kind of makes sense, but both choices are fine, really.

This person clearly does not know enough English and does not understand Linguism in general. Because ‘Master’ does not only mean ‘Slave Master’. It also means ‘a Master of the Art’. Someone who masters an Art. There’s a reason we say “Master and Disciple”. We don’t say “Teacher and Disciple”. That’s just not how languages work.

Yeah, every slave uses "Master" that way. Dude, you lack common sense, honestly.
Get a rope.

Your friend doesn't know how to read. The argument isn't that "master always means x!!!", it is that contextually, within the setting of the show, a character referring to another as "master" brings with it certain connotations. Connotations that do no exist in the Japanese. "Teacher" is overall the much safer option that does not introduce these concerns while still matching "shishou" well enough when taking into account how she arrived at that name. This shows an understanding of "linguism" as he puts it. You recognise words have different meanings and connotations in certain contexts and languages, and you take those into account when translating a fictional work.

I don't even think translating it as "master" is deal-breaking or anything, but I do think it betrays a lack of foresight, or a disregard for any implications that may have (which is fine, so long as thought was put into the decision. A friend of mine who's fanTLing some manga chapters is going with master, but he's thought about it lol). He's free to disagree if he wants, but I think to claim the author (which incidentally, is me) doesn't know the first thing about linguistics (which is the word he was looking for, I think) is laughable given his claims in this comment and the heavy focus on dictionary definitions and not the context in which the word is actually being used in the work itself.
