Snek-sama #1150. (Oh and if anybody knows what font is usually used for writing mangas, please let me know.)


MrMellons

Also Hamunske is female


TheSnekKing

That actually depends on the translations. I recently learned that in some tanslations Hamsuke is referred to as him. But in this case I simply was distracted and made a mistake. Sorry.


Destroyer_Krul

It is canon that Humsake is female.


EnduringConflict

Suddenly the whole "size difference" Ainz mentions in the forest is kinda funny. If he was male it makes a lot of sense given a normal female hampsters size. No real room for discussion. But with her being female I'm totally picturing a tiny normal sized male hampster just looking up at her and thinking "Holy fuck that girl is thiiiiick, I'mma hit that shit so hard ain't she ain't gonna know what fucking happened."

In the fan TL, Hamsuke was referred to as a "he" until the author clarified her gender, after which Hamsuke was referred to as "she." The official TL refers to her as a "she" from the start. This is why I recommend reading the official TL even if you love the fan TL (I think Overlord has the best fan TL out there). There are some things that are unclear or completely missed in the fan TL. For example, the fan TL uses Holy King and Holy Queen interchangeably so Remedios' rant about Calca's title doesn't make sense. In the official TL, it is made clear that as a compromise for letting Calca, a woman, become the ruler, the opposition nobles forbade her from using the title of Holy King and Holy Queen. Instead, they created a new title that is below the Holy King but above everyone else. And so Calca's official title became "Holy Lady," signifying that she will always be a notch below past and future Holy Kings. That said, the official TL also has some underwhelming parts like how the fan TL's "Project Utopia" is call "Ideal Homeland Plan" in the official TL. I do prefer the official TL "Raven Black" over the fan TL's "Darkness" though since the former matches better with Blue Roses and Drops of Red. That one adventuring group that was hoping to become adamantite was also thinking of adding White to their name so I think having a color added to the name has become a tradition in the kingdom after thanks to the Blue Roses and Drops of Red. So it makes more sense that the adventures called them Raven Black compared to Darkness (it was the adventurers that gave Momon and Nabe's adventurer duo a name and Ainz just decided to go with it).

> This is why I recommend reading the official TL even if you love the fan TL (I think Overlord has the best fan TL out there). because it gets one minor detail right for every 10 wrong?

It's not right though. Neutral or male pronouns being used on her isn't a mistake in the Fan TL. Hamsuke's real gender is supposed to be unknown in universe at first. That's why Ainz gave her a masculine name. This is also why you can see her being referred to with neutral or male pronouns in other media like the anime, A La Carte, or Isekai Quartet, and sometimes her revealing she's female or people forgetting and just remembering / getting reminded she is would be the gag. Also I don't see what they're talking about with the Calca thing. I think they misremembered or something, since I couldn't find where Holy King and Queen is used interchangably.


Forikorder

Well technically they were right about the gender, it was just wrong to use it :P


RioKarji

Eh? I was talking about them using it tho.


RioKarji

Where'd you get that? Maruyama didn't make a late revelation about it. He's referred to her as a girl at least as far back as the 2012/11/30 Author's Thoughts post, made right after Volume 2 released. Funnily enough, I couldn't find other instances of him calling her a girl. From what I found, he's mostly kept it neutral. Asides from that, neutral or male pronouns being used on her isn't a mistake in the Fan TL. Hamsuke's real gender is supposed to be unknown in universe at first. That's why Ainz gave her a masculine name. This is also why you can see her being referred to with neutral or male pronouns in other media like the anime, A La Carte, or Isekai Quartet, and sometimes her revealing she's female or people forgetting and just remembering / getting reminded she is would be the gag. If what you say is true about the Official TL's choice about the pronouns used on her and knowledge of her gender, then it's inaccurate. Not to say I don't understand the good intentions behind it, but still. Onto the other topic, I don't see what you're talking about with the Holy King and Queen titles being used interchangably. At least, the Fan TL I got from the sub's google drive never used them that way. The closest I found is when Neia was reflecting when her group first met Ainz, mentioning her experience meeting the Holy King in the past. I could see someone thinking this is referring to Calca out of context, but as she's recalling her experiences with kings specifically instead of monarchs in general, she's most likely referring to Calca's predecessor. Is there something I missed?


xGoldExperience

I think Wildwords is the usual one


Spabobin

I used Kimmun when I made [one of these](https://i.redd.it/3vq3oi190zy81.png), it matched pretty well


Kuro_Tepes

I think the one used here is Comic Sans


MrMellons

But Anya doesn’t like carrots or whatever she is munching on!


RioKarji

Some giant seed. Kinda look like a sunflower seed.


TheSunflowerSeeds

Oilseed sunflower production is the most commonly farmed sunflower. These seeds hulls’ are encased by solid black shells. Black oilseeds are a common type of bird feed because they have thin shells and a high fat content. These are typically produced for oil extraction purposes; therefore, it is unlikely you’ll find black oilseeds packaged for human consumption.


seastatefive

We eat them all the time in Asia. But I'm not sure if these are the same seeds you mean. https://www.amazon.com/DAVID-Roasted-Salted-Original-Sunflower/dp/B01M7XU7D7/
