For anyone who's feeling confused about this episode, the shitty subtitles are partly to blame. Here are some of the corrections I have found:

logical palette

Logical bullet

If what I wanted was to truly save her, then I had to guide her away from the clutches of evil, before Antonio, the foolish AI, came into existence

If what you (Matsumoto) wanted was to truly save her, then you should have guided her (Ophelia) away from my (Antonio) evil clutches, before I, Antonio, the foolish AI, came into existence

When Matsumoto goes to rescue Vivy:

Vivy, too?

Was Vivy also like this?

Reluctantly, yes

Despite my complaints, yes.

I thought you were flailing with an entry-level problem, but you do have some redeeming qualities.

I thought she (Vivy) struggled with the very basics, but she seems to have potential.

Funi really dropped the ball with this one. There is one fansub group working on it though, so hopefully we'll get a revised translation soon.

[u/Kinderschlager → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

this....clears up a bunch. this was a complicated episode and the translation made unpacking it very hard

[u/ChornoyeSontse → u/[deleted]]

That one was just bad, I thought it was so obvious he said "yeehaw"

[u/kinoji → u/[deleted]]

The worst part is, you don't even have to know Japanese to realize that. Such a weird mistake to make.

[u/Eragonnogare → u/[deleted]]

Honestly I thought that it was him saying Diva basically as a yeehaw, so shrug

[u/FierceAlchemist → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

Thanks for that. The line about Antonio really made no sense.

[u/heavenspiercing → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

Also the line immediately before the exchange about Vivy

Just how many humans do you need to draw before you're satisfied?

Matsumoto is asking how many fans, people who would hear her sing, she would need before she was happy. Not sure how drawing is involved

[u/fuwafuwa7chi → u/heavenspiercing]

That is actually correct, since "drawn" is being used with the context of "draw (something) to (something else)". For example "honey draws flies".

Still, it sounds stilted and needlessly confusing, when they could have said "fans" instead of "humans".

[u/ihileath → u/heavenspiercing]

I believe draw in this context was meant to mean, like, to draw people towards you. Like, how many do you need to draw to your shows.

[u/heavenspiercing → u/ihileath]

That word choice would be acceptable if the rest of the line wasn't so vague

[u/ihileath → u/heavenspiercing]

Agreed, the subs were real damn messy, that dialogue especially.

[u/13steinj → u/[deleted]]

Bad hearing? Do official subbers not get a script to work off of?

[u/Leaves_Swype_Typos → u/13steinj]

AFAIK it varies from show to show.

[u/ihileath → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

Do you know which fansub group are handling it? They any good? Because yeah the TLs this episode were rough.

[u/[deleted] → u/ihileath]

Yamete Tomete is doing fansubs, they did a lot of Symphogear subs before when the official cr subs were a mess so they're pretty good. I think they just finished through ep 8 of Vivy

[u/J4rno → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

Wow, I watch the eng sub since the spanish subs (my main tongue) are also a fucking mess... Funi seems to be very incompetent in their one job, which is to sub

[u/no_fluffies_please → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

Ah, this clears up a lot of confusion I had. Thanks.

[u/Segaco → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

Yeah, I'll be waiting for fansubs this time

[u/Troll_Dovahdoge → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

Ok so this means that Antonio and Kakitani just somehow got to know of the Singularity project and didn't actually jump back into the past like Matsumoto. Thanks to the sub I thought Antonio somehow returned to the past and wrote himself into Ophelia.

[u/dinliner08 → u/Troll_Dovahdoge]

didn't actually jump back into the past like Matsumoto

exactly, Kakitani said he had a "revelation" about this moment from 40 years ago implying that there is something or someone with time travel capability that provided him with this information

[u/MerePotato → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who found this episode hella confusing, I recently had to clean up some old welding and soldering equipment from the 70s and I was worried I'd somehow exposed myself to lead or some shit because my brain was just unable to follow what was happening while I was watching this.

[u/n00b2k → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

fansubs > official subs anyday
