Study of Re:CREATORS 57: Lecture 9

Lecture 9

By the way, the Japanese word “Sugoi” originally meant “horrible”or “gruesome”. But nowadays it is very often used meaning “fantastic”, “wonderful”.
When contrasted with the English subtitle, the background meaning of the Japanese scenario emerges more definitely. The ability to comprehensively grasp the pluralistic connotations of words cannot be acquired by mechanical learning of “studying foreign language.” “Weird” discovery is hidden in all things.

Awareness of the existence of different languages gives you deeper understanding of everything. What present educational system is trying to do is exactly the opposite to the genuine teaching.
Centered on the subject of each consciousness, one can gain a multifaceted perspective that eventually leads you to the grasp of the meaning of the universe as a whole.
The universe is a field made up of countless perspectives. To gain comprehensive perspectives is the purpose of the existence of the individual consciousness. This is the teleological interpretation of the universe which consciousness creates through varied qualia formations, including delusional images produced in fiction, that are definitely different from reality. The conversation between Selesia and Sota offers an interesting suggestion on this subject.

“You guys are so weird.” is a nice example of good translation that introduces an opportunity for contemplating the function of languages.
“You go crazy over something that’s make-believe.”
“Chimichiwo ageru” may be literally translated “Raise your blood path”. But it actually means “go crazy over something”. Sometimes these peculiar Japanese phrases cause trouble in Fan subs. Japanese is abounding in special idioms formed during long history. It is a very difficult task to learn them for foreigners. And many Japanese people will also find it difficult to explain the exact meaning of them. Fabricating fictional works is translated “make-believe”.

The characters from the fictional worlds feel that the real world, which is full of contaminants, is “multi-layered in taste” and “full of peculiar aromas,” and attain spiritual growth by deepening their experience in it.
“Like you think it’s actually real. You can’t stop yourselves from feeling happy.”
The character of a fictional work is impressed by the creators taking joy in their creation.
Sota says, “It’s probably because creating stories is like viewing this world through a different lens.”
The actual implication of reading/watching works of fiction is told by an Otaku boy.
