Floyd Nickname Compilation

Original vs. meaning vs. NA adaptation

Ace: Kani-chan Meaning: Crab-chan NA: Crabby

Deuce: Saba-chan Meaning: Mackeral-chan NA: Macky

(NA will sometimes introduce a “y” or “ie” ending or the word “little” to Floyd’s names, possibly to represent the “-chan” honorific (ex: Ace, Deuce, Ortho) but sometimes not (ex: Jack, Epel, Sebek))

Riddle: Kingyo-chan Meaning: Goldfish-chan NA: Goldfishie / Lil’ Goldfish

Cater: Hanadai-kun Meaning: Seabream-kun NA: Seabream

Trey: Umigame-kun Meaning: Sea turtle-kun NA: Sea Turtle

Leona: Todo-senpai Meaning: Sea lion-senpai NA: Sea Lion

(Floyd seems particular about to whom he grants the title of “senpai,” only using it for Leona, Vil, Idia and Malleus.)

Ruggie: Kobanzame-chan Meaning: Remora/Sharksucker-chan NA: Remora / Sharksucker

(Floyd’s nickname for Ruggie remains the same in the original game, but on NA it is “remora” in one place and “sharksucker” in others, which seem to be two names for the same fish.)

Jack: Uni-chan Meaning: Sea urchin-chan NA: Sea Urchin

Azul We see in a flashback that child-Floyd referred to Azul as “Tako-chan” (Octopus-chan, or “Octy” on NA) when they were still getting to know each other, but the game goes out of its way to have Floyd explain that he has no nickname for Azul now because, “Azul’s Azul.”

Kalim: Rakko-chan Meaning: Sea otter-chan NA: Sea Otter

Jamil: Umihebi-kun Meaning: Sea snake-kun NA: Sea Snake

Vil: Betta-chan-senpai Meaning: Betta-chan-senpai NA: Lil’ Betta / Vil / Mr. Fancy Fins / Schoenheit / my fancy friend

(I have received questions before about whether or not Vil and Floyd have a unique relationship of some kind since—besides Azul and Jade—Vil is the only character Floyd refers to by names outside of his own sea-life-naming-convention.

But he doesn’t!

Unlike Rook (who shifts between using French/Japanese/English with his nicknames and sometimes drops them completely) Floyd is strict about his names: he never uses any name with anyone besides the sea-creature name he decides for them, except for Azul and Jade. The game emphasizes this with Floyd’s “Azul’s Azul” line, so it is interesting that NA's continuity for Floyd is so flexible.)

Rook: Umineko-kun Meaning: Seagull-kun NA: Seagull

Epel: Guppy-chan Meaning: Guppy-chan NA: Guppy

Idia: Hotaruika-senpai Meaning: Firefly squid-senpai NA: Firefly Squid

Ortho: Clione-chan Meaning: Clione-chan NA: Lil’ Clione

Malleus: Umiushi-senpai Meaning: Sea slug-senpai NA: Sea Slug

Lilia: Mendako-chan Meaning: Devil fish-chan NA: Devilfishie

Silver: Kurage-chan Meaning: Jellyfish-chan NA: Jellyfishie / Jellyfish

Sebek: Wani-chan Meaning: Crocodile-chan NA: Croc

Grim: Azarashi-chan Meaning: Seal-chan NA: Baby Seal / the Seal / Sealie-o / Seal

Prefect: Ko-ebi-chan Meaning: little shrimp-chan NA: Little Shrimpy

Sam: Umiuma-kun Meaning: Seahorse-kun NA: Seahorse

Trein: Akaika-sensei Meaning: Red squid-sensei NA: Professor Red Squid

Vargas: Lobster-sensei Meaning: Lobster-sensei NA: Coach Lobster

Crewel: Ishidai-sensei Meaning: Beakfish-sensei NA: Professor Beakfish

Crowley: Manta-sensei Meaning: Manta-sensei NA: n/a (The event where this name is revealed has yet to come out on NA as of this post)

Translation from Twst the 2nd novel: Cater, Grim, Riddle, Ace, Deuce, Grim and the prefect split up into pairs to ask about the accidents befalling Spelldrive players:

"‘Yuu will come with me.’

‘Eh? 'Yuu will come with me?’’ Yuuya echoes Riddle’s words back at him with a puzzled look. ‘The two of us will be doing the investigation together?’

‘Yes. I believe that this is the best arrangement.’

‘Eh, but, no, uh…I can’t use magic, so I think I will only be a burden for you.’

‘That is precisely why I am pairing you with myself. The best possible solution is us working together so that you will have my support, as the person with the strongest magic and the deepest understanding of the school.’

‘I was thinking that I might do all right with one of the others, though.’

Riddle points a finger at each member of the group, in turn, as he explains: ‘Cater is to pair with Grim. Cater can get along with anyone, and he will cover for Grim’s erratic behavior. Ace and Deuce are to investigate while seeing to their various tasks around the dorm. The first-years are busy with dormitory work this time of year, as the upperclassmen must prepare for the Spelldrive tournament.’

Riddle’s plan makes perfect sense. But there is no allowance to be made for Yuuya, who can already feel himself becoming overwhelmed.

Yuuya and Riddle have hardly ever held a conversation. And those rare times that they have interacted have not been on particularly friendly terms. And now they are to be alone together, and Yuuya cannot tell how he is even supposed to interact.

He is uncomfortable about approaching Riddle casually, like Ace and Deuce, and he cannot imagine Riddle initiating a friendly conversation, as if he is no different from Trey and Cater.

‘Do you object?’ Riddle asks with a curious look, in response to Yuuya’s stuttering. Despite Yuuya’s frankness, Riddle seems oblivious to the possibility that he may be disliked.

Yuuya is, honestly, somewhat afraid of Riddle. Possibly even more so than he had been back when Riddle was called the tyrant. Because, now, he has seen Riddle’s overblot form.

How can a human possibly harbor such forceful rage, such crippling sadness?

As someone who avoids all conflict in favor of going about his life as peacefully as possible, Yuuya has difficulty understanding this ruthlessness. Does Riddle feel nothing towards these people with whom he clashed barely a month prior? Is Yuuya the only one uncomfortable with the idea of being alone with him?

Yuuya glances to Ace and Deuce for help, but they both shrug. While nothing is said aloud, Yuuya manages to deduce what they mean through the movement of their lips: ‘Sorry, Yuu.’ ‘We can’t stop him.’

Flustered, Yuuya looks to Grim, who is quite happily focused on his tea and cookies. Blissfully oblivious to Yuuya’s situation, Grim is most content.

While looking a bit uncomfortable where he sits at Riddle’s side, Cater manages a smile. ‘Well, not much we can do. If you insist, Riddle-kun, then…’

Riddle gives a firm nod in response.

‘Our hands are tied,’ Cater says, with a wink and a wry smile for Yuuya. ‘It’s true that, for efficiency and to keep Yuu-chan safe, this might be the best option. Leave Gri-chan to me.’

‘Good. No objections?’

‘Can’t be helped. I’ll look out for Cater for ya.’

‘Got it! Understood!’ Ace’s reply is enthusiastic, and he spares a side glance to the flustered Yuuya. Ace has been grinning all the while, likely entertained by the combination of Yuuya and Riddle.

‘In that case, let us go our separate ways. Everyone get an appropriate amount of rest in order to be prepared for tomorrow.’

The three groups set their rendezvous locations, and the strategy meeting ends.

While they are, admittedly, making progress, Yuuya leaves Heartslabyul with a heavy heart.”

My fan-translation is down below:

Riddle’s Mother:

Happy 8th birthday, Riddle.

This year’s birthday cake is a low sugar cake of soy flour and nuts full of lecithin, which makes you smarter.

Riddle:

Thank you, mom. But, you know, I….

Even if just this once, I want to eat a bright red tart with lots of nuts…

Riddle’s Mother:

That’s just practically a lump of sugar! It’s not good for you, it’s like poison.

One slice will exceed your ideal daily carbohydrate intake.

Now then, today’s meal is a healthy tuna sauce with plenty of docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acid.

Oh, but the ideal calorie intake for an 8-year old is….

Do not eat any more than 100kg because each meal is within 600kcal.

Understood?

Riddle:

……. Yes, mom.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

I’ve always wanted to eat a bright red tart.

Just like that jewel-like tart on the display window of a cake shop that I occasionally pass by.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Riddle’s Mother:

That’s all for today’s study on classical magic.

Prepare 50 pages on language philosophy in magic ethics that appeared in today’s study by tomorrow.

Now then, you will do one-hour self-study until the next study time of magic pharmacy.

Riddle:

Yes, mom.

Riddle’s Mother:

Your mother will be back an hour later, since I have something to do for a bit.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Every kind of study was packed in minute increments. Every study time was extended if possible.

But, this was my “normal”.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Riddle:

……. Is someone knocking on the window?

Trey:

Wah, he came!

Chenya:

Hey~, hey~. Pla~y wi~th u~s!

Riddle:

Who are you two?

Chenya:

I’m Chenya! This is Trey. Let’s play croquet together~.

Riddle:

Eh………. I can’t though. Right now it’s self-study time. I have to study.

Chenya:

Gramps told me that I could study for myself and decide whatever I wanted to study on my own.

Trey:

Isn’t it alright if you played with us for a little while?

Riddle:

Just, just for a while then……

Trey:

Can you tell me your name?

Riddle:

Ri, Riddle.

[Riddle Rosehearts].

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Playing with Trey and Chenya was really fun. There were things I didn’t know or how to play.

I really earned a lot from the two of them.

From that day on, every day, I would spend the one-hour self-study to play out of the room without telling my mother.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Chenya:

Eh? Riddle, you’ve never eaten a strawberry tart before?

Riddle:

Yeah. Mom said it’s poisonous so I won’t.

Trey:

Well, overeating isn’t good but I don’t know about it being poisonous…

Hey, there’s a cake shop over there. Let’s go eat right now.

Riddle:

Eh….. but….

Trey:

If it’s only a slice, then it’s fine.

Chenya:

I wanna eat the entire hall of cake~.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

A red treasure on a white plate. To me, it looked more dazzling and shiny than any gem.

–– That tart that I ate was really sweet and delicious, unlike anything that I’ve ever eaten before…

I admit I was crazy about it while eating it.

––– I’ve forgotten about it in time.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Riddle’s Mom:

Not only did you skip self-studying, but you also ate those lumps of sugar when you went out! How could this happen!

Those two tempted Riddle. I won’t allow you to play with those bad children ever again!

Riddle:

I’m sorry, mother! Forgive me, I won’t do it anymore….!

Riddle’s Mom:

Be quiet now! You absolutely cannot break the rules.

Aah, I knew that I shouldn’t have given you any free time. I need to manage and create more and more “complete” walls….

CONTINUATION OF:

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

I broke the rules, so my time with playing around was taken away.

That’s why mother made rules that I must always follow.

Since my mother was the best in the town, she should always be right.

But….. hey, mom, why is it? 

Why was my heart always aching in pain?

I just wanted to eat a lot of tarts on my birthday.

I wanted to play outside.

I wanted to make more friends.

Tell me, mom.

What rules will make this pain disappear?

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Trey: 

–––––– Riddle!!!

Leona:

Berebis/”Bel”:

(lol not joking, Bel can sleep just as fast as Leona- if not faster. He has mastered the arts of sleeping sitting/standing up, sleeping with eyes open, and instant sleep/nap)
