This season we have十二大戦, "the great battle of twelve [warriors]," and one cool thing about this anime is that every warrior has a different way of killing, and that way of killing gets an immense tagline on screen.Each tagline tells what a character is about, but some subtitles' translations have taken some huge liberties in translating the taglines from Japanese, so watchers end up associating phrases to characters that the original author didn't intend for people to associate.In this post, I'll write the original Japanese taglines and some very literal translations, and explain how the Japanese works and their actual meanings in Englishin a way easy to understand.And an image chart at the end.うじゃうじゃ殺すTo killTo killThe rat just sort of doesn't feel like doing anything. You can see how bored he is. He naps instead of listening, plays video-games during a battle royale, etc.This adverb also has another meaning:ネズミがうじゃうじゃいる means "rats are [here]." The English word "swarm" is used more toward insects flying, but thisswarm is used more toward swarms of worms and small animals on the ground.ただ殺すTo killUnlike other warriors, the Ox warrior "just kills,". He has no quirks. He just kills. That's why he's the best at killing: he just kills, simply like that, he doesn't waste time and effort with weird gimmicks or whatever.酔った勢いで殺すTo killThe particlemarks a modifier for an action. The wordmeans "force," "vigor." The "momentum" to go at things (in this case, to go killing). The wordcomes from the verb酔う, meaning "to get drunk." In other words, to kill with the vigor of someone who's drunk.An added joke:虎, "tiger," is also a slang for "drunkard" in Japanese.異常に殺すTo killThe wordis the adverb version of異常, which is written with the kanji for "different" and "normal." What's different than normal? Abnormal. He kills in an abnormal way, he kills "abnormally."I mean he's an almost naked, muscular guy, dual-wielding machetes, jumping around in high-heels, there's hardly something more abnormal than this.By the way, this is the same異 found in the infamous word isekai 異世界 . And note that異常に, "abnormally," isn't以上に, "exceedingly."遊ぶ金欲しさに殺すTo killThe wordmeans "money." The verb, "to play." When a verb is behind a noun like init becomes adjective clause:, "money to play" or "playing money," money that is playing.The wordis a bit more complicated. It comes from the adjective hoshii 欲しい , which means "wanted [by me]." In Japanese, a phrase likemeans literally "X [is] wanted [by me]," but that very sounds stupid in English, so instead we normally just translate it as "[I] want X."Thesuffix would turn something like悲しい, "sad," into悲しさ, "sad." Or長い, "long," into長さ,"length." So "wanted," would become "wantedness." (see, it's in the dictionary: wantedness (noun), "the fact or condition of being wanted," origin: late 19th century. I didn't make this word up! Someone made it up before me!)Anyway, it basically means they kill for money, and want money to play around. (and yes, both characters have the same tagline).無言で殺すTo killThe wordis written with the kanji for nothingness (無) and speech (言), that is, "no speech." Literally. You may find it translated as "silently" somewhere else, but that sort of gives the impression he doesn't make any sound at all. This isn't the case. He just doesn't speak.The character is kind of non-verbal. Apparently doesn't speak much, and few people have heard his voice (according to his character profile). Hence the tagline.騙して殺すTo killThe wordis the-form of the verb騙す, meaning "to trick," "to deceive."As a bomb user, this warrior has always killed people by tricking them into stepping in the blast radius. (But in this case, who's really sheep?)平和裏に殺すTo killThe wordmeans "peace." The word裏 is rather rare, it means "while in the condition or state of." Someans "the state of being in peace" as a noun, andis the adverb version of it, to do "while in peace."(thanks to sarutahiko52-san for explaining it: “裏”ってどういう意味ですか？ The reason this word was chosen for this character is probably because of the phrase平和裏に解決する, "to settle [a diplomatic problem] while in peace," that is, without going to war to settle it.啄んで殺すTo killThe wordis the-form of the verb啄む, "to peck."I don't really have anything else to say about this.噛んで含めるように殺すTo killTo killThis one is tricky because it's about an idiom. The wordis the-form of the verb噛む, meaning "to bite" or "to chew." The verbmeans a number of things, one of them being "putting [something] in mouth." Andmeans "like" or "as if" or "in similar way," etc.So, the first idea, most literal, is that you chew something and then put it in someone else's mouth. Since it's already in your mouth, there'd be no point of the verbthere if it was supposed to go into your mouth again, so it's really in someone else's mouth. Why would anyone do this? Is this some sort of sick fetish people have? Are they playing birds? Yeah, no, sort of.The second meaning, based on the above, means to explain something to someone else in a very detailed, easy-to-understand way. Why? Because parents taking (complicated) food and chewing it (making it simpler) then feeding (explaining) it to their children is what the phrase is about.This warriors bites. And seems to like overexplaining things.豊かに殺すTo killThe wordmeans to have something in abundance. Most of the time, it means to be wealthy, rich, since there's an abundance of money, but it can also means abundances of other things. Since in the phrase it's being used as an adverb,, it's "abundantly."The boar is both rich and carries two Gatling guns to make sure everything she kills she kills so abundantly killed even their ghost is killed. Her targets are burdened with an overabundance of death.
