Yay titles!

Translation notes:

Ep22:

  • I didn't bother with exact numbers this time around and just expressed it with mute. Seemed to make sense here.

Ep23:

  • Making short and pithy phrases for the posters is hard. I came up with what I hope is a common denominator.
  • I think Deus Ex Machina is pretty much untranslatable in a single, simple phrase. toki pona has basically no idioms. So I just said "What's the reason for the way of the genie?"
  • Similarly, bringing across the sentiment of a lot of Pepper's sentences resulted in indirect translations. Surprisingly, the esun parts were almost a direct translation.

Ep24:

  • First off, hats off to sitelen/librefan for their excellent precursor to this whole translation project. More than half of the translation is taken from there (their translation is CC-BY and of course they got credited in the episode).
  • So, here, a difference is made between Chaosah and Chaos, so I didn't take the usual translation by aligning it with Pakalaa. I couldn't think of a good unambiguous translation that neither invalidates other concepts important to the conversation or requires more space than I have. I went with "pimeja pakala" for now? This kind of makes it sound like Chaosah is black magic
  • Rea is notably not called Reah in the naming scheme of the schools of magic. Probably to better preserve the allusion to Reality. I still went with the same naming scheme in toki pona, using Lonaa
  • There are probably a lot of possible translations for "micro dimension". I think something with poki would be most understood.
  • We clearly need more comics in toki pona. I can't make all of these onomatopeia alone! =D
