A big problem is that nakama is used for a lot of more specific words that are sometimes too specific, too long for subs, or both. It's also stronger than some words like 'teammate' or so on - so if you get, say, an instance where character A causes danger or harm to B, and is then at B's mercy, but B rescues A and says "because you're my teammate" - it sounds weak or corny in English, but I guess less so in Japanese.

(Of course, the answer to this is to move away from the "because we're (noun)s" structure and do something like this, from Firefly:

Simon: Captain, why did you come back for us?

Mal: You're on my crew.

Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back?

Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

I'd need a more specific example to address the "though" question.

I think that this might have been the worst Summoning attempt I've ever had in this game. I literally only got one new Servant (Jing Ke), the rest were Craft Essences or low-rarity Servants that were all Hundred Personas, Serenity, Ushiwaka, or Medea, to say nothing of how fucking often I got Kiyohime. This is all from 130 Quartz and 12 Summoning Tickets.

Guess I'll have to wait for another time to try and get Jeanne.

Well, to take an exemple of the game itself, there's Jing Ke speech to QSH, specifically this part:

"While it may be true that as of 2018 in the Common Era, the men of the Greater History have not achieved so much as you, were they to have within their means the resources you've accrued to your disposal, civilization would have long advanced unto the world without the sky."

(This part is missing in fallacies's original translation so I added this from iluna minor's translation from Discord).

Qin "These words from you sounded nothing to me but words of a loser though?"

Props up all the time, that. Wouldn't it just sound better as "Yet, those words sound like naught but an admittance of your own failure" or some such?

I dunno, but the way it is translated just sounds real clunky.

The gacha is a cruel mistress. I'd comfort you but I also remember how I stewed getting spooked by waifu regardless of rarity so honestly there's no winning with the gacha

So one thing that Sei mentions regarding her class is that she likes kemari so she doesn't mind being an Archer even if she doesn't know why she's one. So that made me wonder if that can open up a gate for proper sports-themed Heroic Spirits to become a thing.

Maybe the next time I try and summon the game will be kind to me because of how badly the gacha fucked me this time around.
