Part 10

Notes about the "Great Daikiri Blade" Mamoru acquires. The pair of kanji used has two different readings- either "big cut" or "important", though the first one is emphasized in parentheses. However, just in case you didn't pick up on the not-so-subtle hint, the game also prefaces this with another word ("menuki"), also meaning "important".

Also, since Yuri's song contains vital clues to the puzzle in this stage, I translated for meaning as best I could. I'm not musical so the resulting subtitles don't approximate a song by any stretch of the imagination, but they should still convey the message.

Finally, at this point it might be becoming obvious how often the archives and plot use the number 4 and iterations thereof. This is because 4 (pronounced "shi") is an unlucky number in Japan, similar to the number 13 in western countries. The reason for this is "shi" is the same pronunciation as that used for the kanji for "death", and also the one for "cadaver", the latter being used in the word "shibito".
