Zowayix Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 [img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110910133827/yugioh/images/b/bd/TheSealofOrichalcos-JP-Anime-DM.png[/img] Here is, character by character, a transcription of the Enochian text on the card: Title text: ORICHALCON Middle text: CUUCANMAIUTU [Field Spell symbol] Card lore: UAGATICARAUOMOTOMEIOSASUREZA OOINARUTICARANANZINZINIIADORU IADORUDAROU UARENINIEUOSASAGEIOSASUREZAUA REHAHUCCATUSURUDAROU Noting how the card lore in particular seems to have a tendency to alternate vowels and consonants, maybe, just maybe it says something coherent in Japanese? Any help here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Look, the fact that you can research from Wikipedia what the Enochian symbols sound like, does not mean that you'll know what those words mean. Remember, it's supposed to be a language on it's own, not a secret code. It's like knowing what Hiragana symbols sound like in Japanese, and expecting them to sound like words you'd understand like "I like taco bell". Direct example: "Orichalcos" means "Brass" in Greek if I remember correctly. Btw, they should have used "Orichalcum", which is the mysterious metal used in the legendary lost continent, the "adamant" metal, if you wish. Also, take note that there are no spaces between words in the card description. In this case, it's most likely just there to look pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's why I look at Katakana symbols and expect them to sound like words I'd understand (though they can be used for anything foreign, which can still be a multitude of languages xD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utopicfuture Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 If that isn't the height of ignorance, I don't know what is. So 3 years later, apparently it does say something in Japanese. Why was everyone insulting the OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
