This is a popular question in the comment section. Why do kanji (Japanese characters) have different readings? I fully realize that localization is tough and it involves deadlines, absence of context and other various difficulties. The post will also contain my personal opinion on whether or not the translation was on point. I will give some info on what the Japanese name of the boss means along with some options how it could be more accurately translated if it isn't.

Fun stuff!ĭisclaimer #2 - I am not a professional translator, nor have I ever worked in localization. My major is English and Japanese as foreign languages, my minor is intercultural communication. I will also entertain some lore theories, but they are what they are - theories.ĭisclaimer #1 - trust me, I'm a professional if this fact will somehow make this post more credible and trustworthy to you - I am a certified linguist. I do not speak The Soulsborne Truth in these posts, I just try to employ my linguistic knowledge and my love for these games to try and dig up some details that have not been carried over to the English version. Luckily, I was able to bring with me from my latest trip to Japan a bunch of Soulsborne-related literature, including artbooks and, most importantly, Dark Souls Trilogy -Archive of the Fire- that has all dialogue scripts and item descriptions I might need.ĭisclaimer #0 - common sense is everything. If you've missed the first one, you can check it out here. Here is the second part of me trying to make sense of Japanese names for Dark Souls bosses.
