Alright so I was watching episode 16 of season 1 and I noticed something. I wasn't sure so I listened to it a couple times. I had always thought the subs were a bit off on it and listening to it more carefully she says to Mao roughly, "Go and wait for me, in the world of C" it was translated as world of death but after finding out about the World of C I just figured it was that. If this has been brought up before forgive me, I'm a bit new to the community ^^ I just found it curious and wondered if anyone else noticed it.

OH.

YES! Well, "shi" does mean death in Japanese so that's why they would translate it like that. But what a good thing to bring up now. :O

Maybe it is Mao, Lelouch will meet in that world?

Oh you're right.
We got a couple more dubs to go through before I would've even noticed that.

wow, that makes lots of sense! I rarely notice those kinds of things, since my knowledge of japanese is uber poor. Good listening!
Though back in ep 12(I think...?) when Cornelia arrives at the temple and Bartley (or however his name is written) tells her that they are there because of the emperor she calls him, "Chichi??", which made me LOL. You would think she'd at least say otou-san, or even otou-sama, but Chichi!Emperor is very kawaii and so unlike her <____< (I know chichi also means dad, but very casual XD)

If I remember correctly, 'chichi' is used when talking about your father. If she said 'otousan' it would be refering to someone else's father. (but one would call their father otousan when talking to him).
So if she was talking to someone else about her father, she would use chichi, not otousan. But still, its a bit weird for her to even use that, you think she'd call him the emperor or something.

Just to add, Cornelia says Chichi-ue. It usually used to call a father with high respect. (That's what I asked my friend who takes up Japanese...I'm not even sure.)

if she said 'chichi-ue' then that definately is very respectful. and yes you are correct, 'ue' is as such.
(I did japanese for 5 years.. but havent spoken a word in the past 6 months XD)

OMG, that would be incredibly awesome. For the "O SHI--Euhpinator's back!" factor, and that it would give Lulu even MOAR angst to deal with.

And oh, do I love seeing that boy in pain. <3

Yes, it's "World of C" in S1 16, but no one knew/heard of the World of C and subbers didn't use closed caps until recently, so it was assumed as "shi" as in "death".

that also reminds me when the emperor said he already spoke to clovis. perhaps this had to do with the world of c as well?
