Artificial human doesn't make sense, which is why we would translate it to cyborg/android/artificial life-form depending on the construction made. The Danish version opted for cyborg, whereas Viz opted for artificial life-form. I'm annoyed because Duo insulted the Danes, used homosexuality in a derrogatory fashion, and all but spat upon the Danish translation all because Viz did the same thing only slightly differently. As I said: pointless, prejudice and offensive.alakazam^ wrote:He said he was a jinzouningen. We could call him an artificial human, isn't that what the world literally means?

To an almost certain extent. The term "ningen" literally means something like a living person, but it is used as the Japanese word for human. That is why jinzouningen is commonly translated as artificial human, when what it means more specifically is artificial life form/being.alakazam^ wrote:He said he was a jinzouningen.
