    If I had to pick between the two, I'd say the kanji.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Yeah I saw what you mean, it's the kanji. Yama is the first character, te is the second, and sen is the third. Where's the no??


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    no isn't written, but it's pronounced. I don't get why it's left out.

    Right, I just think it's one of those quirks of Japanese culture where they somehow justify omissions and rule violations as "sho ga nai." I think it's a tell so they can recognize locals from foreigners.
