Thread: Potential Upcoming Events Continued (Updated: 01/08/2017)

The Maze of the Demon King has nowhere near the oomph of The Labyrinth of Beelzebub. What is it with Americans and possibly Westerners as a whole from referencing demons and devils?

Anyway, I am looking forward to this. I failed the revival on DMM given my team was still weak but I really want to get Paula, whose probably the best non-black Bishop at the moment (can't speak for Revu whose event is still going on DMM).

Naw, it's a Japanese thing, too especially chunibyous in anime who likes to reference Greek and Norse mythology, Yggdrasil and all dat jazz

Hmm, I suppose. It just seems weird though and I have seen it a lot and not just with Beelzebub. I just want to know what will happen when we get the Majin Class, especially since Majin literally means devil or evil god depending on the translation. Well so long as they don't change Rakshasa's name (Rakshasa are an actual group of devils in Hinduism) I suppose I can tolerate it.

And I must ask, but what is Chunibyous? I tried finding information but I am not sure what exactly to look for .

Where did people even get the Beelze-chan in relation to this Labyrinth? It was clearly Maou from the very beginning, and Fly is an entirely separate Majin with its own event chain.

Umm, wow, I feel a little foolish now. I just checked the Japanese name of the event and, yeah, you're right. With these kanji (魔王) pronounced separately you get "ma" and "ou" (ou being a long "o" sound) so the proper transliteration is maou, which literally means "evil king/ruler" still though not the same with "demon king" which gives a different connotation.

To be fair though, the name Beelzebub (Lord of the Flies) does come from the Mesopotamian Ba'al which is a general term for a god or king. In fact some historians say that Beelzebub was named as such so as to insult and attack the Mesopotamian religion.

And forgive my ignorance but who is Fly?

Fly (note the link). Supporting that particular reading, his Kin (direct subordinate demons), straight from future events of MWA)

"Ma" is actually more in line with "supernatural" than simply "evil", so translating MaOu as Demon King or Demonic King is better fitting)

Guide tomorrow. Had too much work to finalize that(

We're actually getting two events (or more specifically, one event and one revival) at the same time? O_o
