Noragami Chapter 77

Aaand done. This chapter actually wasn’t too difficult and wasn’t nearly as talky as last month’s. Well, I mean, it was still talky in that it was basically all dialogue again, but it was less dialogue-dense.

As usual, feel free to redistribute or use as a base for non-English translations if you’re better with English than Japanese, but again, please refer to the translation notes for clarification before interpreting my translation overly literally.

Translation notes below the cut:

Page 0:

The text on the cover image reads “Divining the night” and is made of the characters that literally form “Yaboku”.

Page 2:

Man, I lucked out with my translation of last month’s chapter title. Last month’s was literally “cannot be thrown away” while this month’s is “can be thrown away”.

Page 6:

“Premonition/Omen” is the meaning of Kazuma’s name.

Page 8:

This page confused me. I thought that being struck by Chiki meant that a shinki remembered their name in life, but Kugaha remembered his “Edachi” name, which was supposedly the name Father gave him (that was since suppressed many chapters ago).

Page 10:

For non-native English speakers, “M.O.” = “modus operandi”, a characteristic or telltale behavior, often of a particular serial criminal.

Page 12:

“Awh, man, you mean I left flowers for Kugaha? Ewwww…”

Page 31:

The spell Kazuma cast is called “Minonawa”. It’s all in hiragana but the assumed meaning is “rope on the body”. “Nawa” (”rope”) is also an archaic term for a snake. Since all the other spells have been translated out up until now, I kept consistency with this one.

Oh, look, a man and his dogs. Nothing suspicious about this.
