Laplace and Majin Species Correction (TSSDK)

1,857
82
This CRT addresses a mistake in some profiles from Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ke in regards to the species.

There had been a mistake in the assignment of species for Laplace (WN), Laplace (LN) and Footma (LN). They have been mistaken as Daemons/Demons/Devils, but they are actually Majin/Magic-born.

Terminology
Due to the differences in translation choices that the various translators for each of both continuity canons made, I'll be relying on the RAWs here:

Òâ®ÒâùÒâ®Òé╣ = Laplace
ÒâòÒââÒâêÒâ×Òâ│ = Footman
ÒâåÒéúÒéó = Tear

µé¬Ú¡ö = Akuma = "Daemon" - this refers to the Demonic Spiritual Beings that include the likes of Diablo, Guy, Beretta, etc. as well as the fodder type "Lesser Daemon" Oxheads that Rimuru defeated in the B-Rank Adventurer Exam. Most translations call them "Demon" and some call them "Devil".

Ú¡öõ║║ = Majin = "Magic-born" - it refers to any intelligent humanoid magicule-based species. They have been translated in very different ways, be it as "Demon", "Devil", "Fiend", "Majin" or "Magic-born".

For sake of consistency, the community decided to use the terms "Daemon" for µé¬Ú¡ö and "Majin" for Ú¡öõ║║.

WN


Claude ground his teeth at the situation.
The enemy's force seemed to be stronger than he thought.
Among the four people, excluding Claude and Alrose, Fran was the one who had the highest fighting power. Yet, she was unable to land even a single hit on the devil called Laplace.
And, the knights were useless against that devil called Footman.
Claude judged that he and Alrose had no choice but to move.
He was worried about Leon, but even if he worried about his master who was far stronger than himself, there would be no point, as there was an even stronger collaborator, Mizari.
What he had to do now was to support Fran who was his comrade, he renewed his readiness.

Note: The Web Novel translator in this case chose to translate Ú¡öõ║║ as "devil".

As you can see here, Laplace is refered to as Ú¡öõ║║.

LN
These are scans from the Light Novel volume 8.5 Databook:

As you can see, Laplace's trio are all refered to as Ú¡öõ║║ here as well.

Conclusion
As a consequence the Classification for both profiles of Laplace and the LN profile of Footman need to be changed from "Demon" to "Majin".

Furthermore Laplace (WN) gets downgraded. He loses Immortality (Type 8), Abstract Existence (Type 2), Mind Manipulation (including "Temptation") and Resurrection, while his Mid-Godly Regenerationn gets downgraded to Low-Godly (from being a Spiritual Being as a True Demon Lord).
 
Agree from the looks of it.

Don't really know Laplace much since I'm still in the very early vol's of WN but that too is also agreed I guess from the above response.
