BTW, I've been kinda playing some of the 3DS some of the App version, what do you do with the rest of the random metal dragons you get? Since I've just been using them for power-ups, as I had no idea about this whole awakening thing.

So there's an Anti-Army range Zabaniya? Cool.

So True Assassin's melting into shadow is actually separate from his Presence Concealement? That's pretty cool... Also Shadow Lantern is one of the coolest names ever. XD

Well, if you google the whole thing in quotes you get a ton of results about people with some sort of personality quirk that makes them seem weird to other people so I'd go with that.

I originally thought that since 理解を超える is like "beyond understanding," or "over one's head," right. But then I looked up 周囲の理解 because I wasn't sure if it actually meant understanding of surroundings or it was an idiom or something and read some articles about mental health.
Either way I didn't know if others couldn't understand her. Or she couldn't understand the social context because of her zealotry.

Damn it.

I can confirm that it sounded like that, sorry.

beyond her understanding of the surroundings.

Did what I say really sound like that to you?
I must really be losing touch with English.

It doesn't matter how I look at it, I definitely don't like seeing 血統 as "pedigree" because it is as if we are talking about dogs and not about people.

"Incomprehensible to those around her", I'd guess.

Is there a good phrase for 周囲の理解?
understanding of surroundings sounds really convoluted.

The part in brackets is just one big adverb describing how much she believes in the "certain something".

Yeah that helped a lot, thanks.

lol, sorry it was late. Didn't even look at that.

Yay the return of the Ogre-Like

[The ability to] obtain normally unattainable mental strength by having faith in something that exceeds the understandings of one's surroundings
If we want to go pseudo boring literal.

I shee. I always figured Monstrous Strength came with a sort of transformation aspect. The fact that Astolfo, especially Pink-Haired Trap-Astolfo could haul around a giant, never struck me as a feat of immense strength... I need sleep, the fact that that didn't occur to me at 6am proves it.
