First off...that kanji, in this particular case, is more accurate as "Demon" and not "Ogre", I'd say. Sure, Ogres are a part of that...but their kanji isn't just the 鬼 but also another kanji besides it. "Oni" might make sense in some cases too I guess...but...we've already been doing it as "Demon"...and in this case I think it makes more sense that way, anyway.

You're right about your mention of the usage of species and whatnot. I was simply referring to the fact that in this case at least, the "species" isn't really necessary since it's just saying "Goblin species", "Hobgoblin species", "Ogre species" etc. You can just cut out the "species" and put it as Goblins, Hobgoblins, Ogres, etc.

It's mainly because it's a list, tbh. ^^

I agree that google occasionally gives lines that make sense right out of the gate, but you're right in that it's often really confusing what it spits out, heh. That's why people hate GT. XD

That said, I was mainly giving pointers with regards to how to handle Rubi in your TL...since there's often no need to look at the stuff it's over (though I usually do, since it might help discern what the Rubi's actually saying in some cases, heh).

If you're planning on "fixing" it once you get to the editing stage then that's fine, heh.

You're right that some manga scanlators (and some TLs in general) don't translate some words to english, but leave them as "oni" etc. Tensei Slime is an example of this...but at the same time, the Ogres become Oni, so it makes sense in this case...since it states that the Ogres often get really unique skills when they become an Oni. No other species (that I've seen) become that...so it's still a single species listed there.

That's why I think it's "Demon" and not "Ogre" or "Oni" in this case. ^^
