*editing V2C7 of No Hero*
*rereads every volume again*
...Lucathia, this is not a productive way to translate.
In other words, I ended up rereading all of No Hero. 0____0;;;
Not sure which volume I like best, but I like it when all of the heroes are involved. And I love when we find out who each of the heroes are~. And why they became heroes! Unfortunately, the heroes are pretty much absent during v7-v8. ): Paid more attention to the short POVs at the beginning of each chapter this time. (They reveal a lot) They're narrated by different characters for each volume. The character on the cover is who the POV belongs to. It's fun just reading all of the beginning parts all at one time!
Poor Dragon Peace never gets enough sleep. :'D;; Ceo, you have a friend.
Some notes for myself. Very spoilerish about later No Hero volumes and each hero.
Dark Sun:
-protects the east
-real identity: Ri Xiang Ye
-DSII often switches with Ah Ye, but Ah Ye will have DSII pretend to be him instead of Dark Sun because DSII always makes the "right" decision to protect Ah Ye instead of the "hard" decision, one that might harm Ah Ye but help others
-identity is known by a lot of people... the Church, Father Yue, First Wind, Dragon Peace
-after V6, the entire world knows Ah Ye = Ri Xiang Ye
-23? Funny to think he's around the same age as Sun...
-Will look forever 18
Solitary Butterfly:
-protects the north
-both legs are modified
-real identity is most likely Ling Ding, a musician who plays at Seaside. Ling Ding wrote lyrics for Ah Ye's album about vampires titled "Endelis"
-Ling Ding sounds like the end of the idiom "Gu ku ling ding" which means "solitary/completely alone."
-She lost both legs in a car accident on the day of her wedding b/c of a police chase
-Her fiancee died in front of her trying to save his sister
-Her money for her modifications came from his life insurance
-Her name "Solitary Buttery" likely comes from the fact that she lost her husband
-uses two guns
-gets into a conflict with Dark Sun over an escaped convict. She wants to protect the convict from getting killed by Dark Sun or returned to the prison P29
First Wind:
-protects the west
-real identity: Ji Luo Chu, photographer, 28 before v4, 29 after v4
-Chu means "First"
-left arm is modified
-cut off his own arm to get the modification
-father was in a lot of debt and started using drugs
-after his father's death, mother tried to commit suicide via gas with his younger brother Luo Lun
-Luo Chu managed to save his younger brother, but his mom then committed suicide from the top of the hospital
-no wonder First Wind is after all the drug circles
-he reveals to Solitary Butterfly that he got money for his modifications from winning the lottery. If only his dad had held on a bit longer.
-once saved Dragon Peace and nearly adopted him at age 23, 5 years before the series
-the media likes to pair First Wind & Solitary Butterfly. Solitary Butterfly says there is only one person for her.
-becomes so busy with filming that Dragon Peace covers his territory a lot.
Dragon Peace:
-protects the south
-has a huge body that cannot easily be missed
-could only appear during the night (at first)
-real identity: Ah Ye's classmate Aren
-same age as Ah Ye
-father died when he was young. mother died from a criminal's gunfire during a bank robbery when he was in high school
-was used as a hostage during the same robbery
-was pushed off a cliff once the criminal escaped the police's barricade
-saved by First Wind
-wanted revenge for his mother
-stole Leanna and Abner's DNA experimental medicine in order to avenge his mother
-involuntarily transforms at full moon and loses his mind if he transforms during the day
-starts becoming unstable and needs expensive medicine
-Leanna and the others become friends with Ah Ye because they can tell he is wealthy and they need help
-thinks Ah Ye is too nice and perfect, but then thinks he is an alien
-eternal fried rice cooker for everyone
-the tall and slender stick
-never gets enough sleep
-did not think Ah Ye = Dark Sun because Ah Ye always looks awake in class and gets perfect scores
I should include the chicken merchant in Follow the Sign. XD; Regret that I didn't write about him instead of a random merchant! Maybe I can still change it...
Side note: The chicken merchant is married.
