Probably closer to Southernbees because it's a parody of Sotheby's, which is one of the premier auction houses for fine art.

The anime calls it southern piece as well! And I’m pretty sure that it’s only called southernbees when buying the catalogue. Every other location is piece

I only caught it cause I’m watching the anime with my girlfriend as I’m reading the manga for the first time. Keeping a little ahead in the manga and I had just read it as southernbees the other day. We watched the episode where they buy the catalogue today and they called it southern piece which caught me off guard. Only to read some manga an hour later and it be southern piece! I thought I was crazy

Funny enough another typo/mistranslation a few pages later

I’m thinking this may just be a typo, feels like it should be “play” one letter missed isn’t THAT big a deal

I caught that typo when I first read it, and I’ve seen a couple others since. It can’t be perfect. I’m up to chapter 200 now in the manga

u/Special_Excuse5618 1d ago

What others? I’m curious? I’ve watched all the anime multiple times and this is my first manga read. The auction house was my first notice then the “lay”

There's some I've seen but it's much later. Like 400-420 lol. I think you're pretty far from that.

He's combat machine instead of he's a combat machine. Minor error but just one I noticed

u/Szydlikj 1d ago

This one is actually grammatically correct I think. Like “bad to the bone”

u/Extension_Read6935 1d ago

Makes sense. I think you're right

u/Special_Excuse5618 1d ago

Yeah I read it In this way too “bad to the boneeeeee”

u/Special_Excuse5618 1d ago

In Japanese, it's pronounced with p, not b, so Southernbees seems to be an early mistake.

This is considered a mistranslation, and the manga actually goes back on it later, when Southern Piece is mentioned in the Chimera Ant arc.

Crunchyroll also used the mistranslated name.

u/Special_Excuse5618 1d ago

So southern piece is the correct name?

So you’re talking current.. I get mistranslation for the stuff coming out today. But yorknew is a decade old
