You know what sort of makes my day these days? That bit in the latest Gaiden where Goujun says Naraba houkoku wo ("If so, report," where report is the object of a non-stated verb- you see why foreigners have trouble with this language?) and Tenpou *and* Kenren without consultation both at once click their heels and salute and... report their resignations. Kenren, right, who a bit back couldn't abide Goujun's commanding officer's ways and did everything he could to get his goat? Evidently having a bunch of keys tossed to him while his arms are in irons has softened his opinion of the man- er, dragon. It's that kind of subtle detail I despair of doing in English prose.
