Translated some passages from the Kingsglaive Official Movie Pamphlet that I thought were pretty interesting (and spoiler free), which also gives a bit more insight on Nyx Ulric’s character. Hope you enjoy~

The Lands of Galahd

To the northeast of the imperial city of Insomnia lies a small group of islands where Nyx and Libertus used to run a small bar in their hometown. In particular, the Galahd River that runs through the land is known for its beautiful scenery. Nyx and Libertus often played in the river when they were children. Although this area was protected by a wall of magic, 30 years ago, war overtook the lands and the magic barrier crumbled, allowing Nilfheim to claim Galahd and all its territory as their own.

The Girl

In the back of Nyx’s mind is an image of a girl with black hair. This girl is his late younger sister. When she was in danger, Nyx went to try to save her. The thought of being unable to save his sister still causes him great heartbreak, and even now, when her presence flashes through his mind, he loses his calm composure. Because of this, Nyx thinks that he’s never good enough, and he embraces the thought that he has nowhere to go. He does not know what kind of future he wants to live in.

Malbo Smul’s** Hut

In Insomnia, there is a small area where immigrants live. In this area lies a small bar. The shopkeeper, a native resident of Galahd, known by others as “Yama-chan,” is always lively. Known for its authentic Galahd cuisine, particularly the “Malbo Smul” dish, which is grilled meat on a stick and seasoned by dipping the meat in a green stew. Along with the members of the Kingsglaive when Nyx first joined, they often come to this restaurant for food and drinks, enjoying themselves and having lively chatter. (**I am unsure of the exact translation of this dish’s name. Also, T/N, but this place in the movie is AMAZING. I loved this scene where you see the underground world that they hang out in)

Malboro-kun

Malboro-kun is a popular cartoon character in Insomnia. He’s the protagonist of a cartoon show that is broadcasted on TV, and he even has his own merchandise such as t-shirts, bandanas, and other goods that are sold in the city.
