Something I noticed..

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.

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)

i third that observation! 'chichi-ue' is the uber polite form
