Level E: Tucker Report
Added 2022-03-23 22:01:00 +0000 UTCTucker's episode notes (including name pronunciation/meaning) for our Level E episode
Six words:
- “E” is for “extreme prank, bro!”
- Men in Black crossed with Punk’d
- Alien invasion annoys and inconveniences mankind
—--------------------------------
Author:
- Togashi, Yoshiro (冨樫 義博, Togashi Yoshihiro)
- Think of it as “TOga-shee” rather than “tuh-GAHshee”
Characters:
- Baka-Ouji/Prince Baka/Prince Moron バカ王子
-the “ou” in ouji (prince) is just a long “o” sound
- Tsutsui, Yukitaka (筒井 雪隆, Tsutsui Yukitaka)
- Both of the “tsu” syllables in given name should be pronounced the same!
- Remember that “ts” is (approximately) the same sound we have in English at the ends of lots of syllables, but it’s just at the beginning of syllables. Think about making fake techno noises with your mouth by saying “boots and pants and boots and pants” over and over again. The words blend together, meaning that you’re pretty much already saying “boo tsand pan tsand boo tsand pan tsand…”
- Edogawa, Miho (江戸川 美歩, Edogawa Miho)
Other:
- Diskun ディスクン星
- “Deece-kun”
- The “kun” is pronounced the same as the -kun honorific
- Dogra ドグラ星
- First syllable pronounced like English “doe”/”dough”
- Second syllable like the “Gras” in “Mardi Gras”
