Hi all,

I noticed something on pages 16 and 17 in this issue.  This corresponds to
Volume 11, pages 22 and 23 in the manga, by the way.  In the DH version, in
the 4th panel of page 16 Devil Urd says "You can ward off an Urd bolt even
when I have your powers sealed."  My question is when did she seal
Belldandy's powers?  Similarly, in the first panel of the next page (17 or
23), Devil Urd asks Belldandy "What will you do now?  Break my seal?"  Why
would Belldandy want to break Devil Urd's seal, since that would only make
her stronger?

Now, my Japanese reading ability is admitedly terrible, but I had assumed
Devil Urd was saying something along the lines of "...when YOU have your
powers sealed." and "...Break YOUR seal?"  These lines make much more sense
to me this way, since an unsealed Belldandy could clean Devil Urd's clock
for sure, and it's not the first time that a berserker Urd would have been
surprised by the resourcefulness of a sealed Belldandy.  That's the
interpretation I had made of these pages until the DH translation came out.
Is this an error in translation, or did SP get the translation right?

Thanks to anyone who can provide enlightenment,

Brian Welch
