Hey hey guys, it's been a little while since the last TL notes thread, got a couple references in this chapter though.

 

Namu

 

That little Buddhist sockpuppet was saying "namu," which is an abbreviation of "Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō," which in turn translates to "Devotion to the Mystic Law of the Lotus Sutra" or "Glory to the Sutra of the Lotus of the Supreme Law." It's a very important chant within multiple branches of Buddhism. Further reading here.

 

Peyoung

 

As mentioned, Peyoung is a brand of instant yakisoba, which is sold by the company "Maruka Foods." There's a link to the Peyoung site itself here (only in Japanese, though), as well as a link to an entry on Maruka Foods here (also only in Japanese, sadly).

 

 

 

And yeah, that's about it. Next chapter looks like it's gonna be an exciting one. See you there.
