Jinshi's stress levels have gone up 10x since meeting Maomao lmao

TheLifeofAFangirl

in my opinion, while jinshi was clearly jealous of Lihaku being close to Maomao. This conversation had more to do about gauging what kind of person Lihaku was and seeing if he was trustworthy. I truly believe that Jinshi would have handed the money over with no strings attached even if Lihaku had agreed to it.

Maomao means Cat Cat in Chinese by the way

Well, probably not no strings attached. It would be effectively an unpayable debt, so in essence he'd be buying Lihaku's loyalty forever. It may not have any immediate consequences but it would probably entail doing some dirty work in the future. That said, showing that he is someone who can't be bought is infinitely more valuable, because in this case genuine trust can be built. So a good decision on Lihaku's part.

Sparky :D

I’ve always considered Jinshi’s relief to stem from the fact that Maomao’s read on Lihaku was correct, and that there was another honorable person he could trust around We also should remember that he really doesn’t view Lihaku as “competition” anymore since he had just heard Lihaku tell him that there’s “no other woman in the world for me” referring to Pairin and that’s a sentiment Jinshi can relate to with his feelings for Maomao :D

Sparky :D

Light novel spoilers below: Jinshi’s trust of Lihaku when it comes to Maomao is so dear to me genuinely like he knows that Lihaku would protect her with his life and makes sure that he keeps him around her as much as possible (plus we will be getting someone who Jinshi actually deems as a romantic threat in season 3 soon hehehe)

Have you guys checked out any of the trailers for edgerunners 2? It looks like it is going to be very good.

Oh there is a weird translation anomaly that I just noticed. After Jinshi refers to Maomao as "his cat", Lihaku says something along the lines of "Because your Cat trusts me you're willing to as well" and Jinshi briefly glares at him. In the English translation Lihaku doesn't call Maomao a cat, so the glare comes off as unprompted.

This adaptation, at least as far as accuracy, leaves quite a bit to be desired, it seems.

Sparky :D

I wouldn’t go that far to be fair for the most part it really is just little things here and there that are, in my opinion, fun to notice :D

David L

To be fair translations are always a bit tricky, especially for anime where you also have to think about scene timing and matching predetermined mouth movements on top of the usual context/cultural issues to deal with. Also written translations don't have to worry as much about sounding clunky when spoken aloud. So yeah it's mostly just a minor thing that's fun to notice after multiple viewings (This is the first I've noticed the anomaly here and it was probably only because K&M were laughing at Jinshi calling Maomao his cat so I was paying more attention).

One thing I never understood, was why Lakan kept trying to buy out Maomao, going to the Madam several times, when he knows that Jinshi already did

oni

rikuson!! love him

HBelmont67

". . . So she's perfect. Your point?" Man, I love Lihaku, and I'm glad they do, too. 🤣🤣

HBelmont67

Season two spoilers: If they thought Jinshi sounded vaguely threatening with Lihaku this episode, I can't wait for the scene of him questioning Loulan's impersonator when Maomao goes missing.

HBelmont67

"He's really in love." "Met her one time, BTW." "Well . . . sometimes that happens." Kenny, you old smoothie. 😁

One aspect to Lihaku and Jinshi's conversation is what Jinshi's role is. As far as Jinshi knows he is the emperor's brother, which is a high station of note. Both getting Lihaku indebted to the royal family as a way to ensure loyalty and testing to see if Lihaku is susipectible to bribes are within the duties of the emperor's brother.

Suplee215

It may be payable. Getting the attention of higher ups is a good way to get promoted. Basically Jinshi may recommend him for a promotion that does allow Lihaku to pay him off. Of course that does bring a level of loyalty either way. But jinshi isnt just rich, hes wealthy enough tk make other peoole wealthy if he so chooses beyond just giving them cash. And Lihaku just proved he isn't bribable so im sure he moved up the list of candiates to trust with higher jobs

An important part here is Mao means cat. So exchanging the 2 makes sense. Her nickname Xiao Mao is even the term for kitten

HBelmont67

I mean, it's clear Lakan and Jinshi don't like each other .
