久しぶりだな

We return!

How were the photos? Mediocre weren't they. Well, if you're bored I now have a secondary Tumblr set up purely for my shoddy 'experimental' photographs. How fun! It can be found at

Anyway, advertising out the way. Let's pick up where we left off previously. We will again be looking at 今川の装備menu. I believe there were only two things remaining to cover. One huge description and a tiny block of kanji. So then.

Le'ts get the troublesome things out the way first

As always we will start with the cheeky katakana. We have the title at the top first so let's whirl. 

First we have Ranya - Launcher. That's a weird one I know. As for the other two on their, the stats, it's simply supido - speed and a-ma- armour. Honestly katakana is such a weird one.

So let's begin with descriptions. The sentence reads:

遠距離から起爆できるペレットを発射する、40mmグレネードランチャー

So this is something way beyond my level of understanding so we'll take it slowly. Let's work backwards first with the katakana. It's simply telling us what the weapon is at the end.

40mmグレネードランチャー

40MM grenade launcher 

Ok cool, we know it's some sort of grenade lancher. Let's break the first kanji before the kara (from)

First up we have 遠距離. What an absolute mess that is. It translates as

遠距離 = Enkyori - Long distance.

Right so, we know it's main goal is long distance and we can assume attack. Excellent. Kara means from so let's move onto 起爆

起爆 = Kibaku - Detonation

Lovely, so throw the from in there and we get 遠距離から起爆

                                                                            Enkyori kara kibaku

 Technically it will be longdistance from detonation but we do the old japanese backwards and we get 

Detonation at long distance

 Enkyori kara kibaku  

      遠距離から起爆

Awesome. 

After that we have dekiru. I've only just learned what Dekiru (dekimasu) and it can roughly mean come from or just can. It can do something. As such

遠距離から起爆できるペレット

Enkyori kara kibaku dekiru peretto

Long distance from detonation can pellet.

            Do the shuffle

Pellets that can be detonated from long distance

So yeah, even for me this will require some getting used to. I just simplified it to being backwards for the first bit. Pellet detonation from long distance. As long as you understand what it's getting at.

を発射する - Fires or to fire

So all together we have 

遠距離から起爆できるペレットを発射する、40mmグレネードランチャー

Enkyori kara kibaku dekiru peretto o hassha suru, 40 mm gurenēdoranchā

40mm Grenade launcher that fires pellets that can be detonated from long distance.

Crazy.
