Man, I love the Five Year Gap era of the Legion; that's where I came in! I think this was more of a "Bloodlines is stupid and the book that takes place a thousand years in the future probably shouldn't be forced to participate" sort of situation, rather than any inherent flaws in the 5YG Legion premise.

You generally wouldn't describe a bright light as "splendid", which makes it a bit less obvious than my choice, but the root of the word still directly means "shining", so it's really a pretty smart choice in my book. I never really used Flame Subs for Saber, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that screencap.

Not having any traumatic memories of lousy dark age superhero comics though, I do agree that "prodigious" works solidly as a catchphrase for a character like Yuri, but like, saikou *is* a word used in casual speech, so it's a much looser translation.

It's nice to see that, in their retirement, Translation Cop is willing to let phrases off with a warning. Very community-minded!
