Smh dude the Zolo thing came from earlier ViZ, its not Stephen who did that. Nevertheless, the Japanese cant differentiate between L and R well, hence "EngRish".
Do you know that people still rely on Stephen Paul's scripts over early ViZ? He is an OG
Tell Sandman to translate their entire title, "bushin = warrior god" wont cut it

IMHO the warrior god titles portray the world government as a system established via acts of warfare which aligns with the information we already have about the formation of the current world government.
Lee's agenda is stronger than his logic.
Kingdom taught him psychological warfare, he's trying to defeat the warriors of sanity with his tirelessly repeated admiral wank but we will not yield.

Do people even realize bushin have military word here With combine with god ?
Gororsei are part of world government military and gorosei are gods by title .
Admrials is part of world government force yet they are strongest one .
Literally show admiral > gorosei . Since you can senses people power by coO like old rayleigh did it .
It is not complicated to understand and yet you guys are monkey around it .

Yea but my point (I haven't followed every convo here) is the viz made the correct decision because the Kanji translated 1:1 sounds off in english.
Some things should not be translated literally, this might be one of those things. Warrior God of Agriculture sounds like a bad run on sentence/joke.
It might make sense in Japanese doesn't mean it belongs in English. Viz's job is to go with author's intent and translate that over to the english audience, not translate it word for word.
Infact if they did it word for word it might convey the wrong thing and change the tone or meaning of the scene. I'm not Japanese and Viz are the experts so I'll trust their decision over the google translate Kanji experts.
But that's exactly it, If being a Warrior or whatever was crucial to the scene I doubt it would be omitted, especially since it's such a common term that the translators obviously know.
The divine aspect was deemed important. So I'm gonna assume that was Oda's intent, it's also a red flag that the fan translations were word vomits that were damn near illegible.

to be honest I would rather to have literal translation over everyone translation ,
‘Having warrior god of financial is hilarious and meme worthy . Literal Simpson or southpark could came up with it as to mock financial god as America worship the almighty dollar .
Fear the almighty dollar from USA military force ,we spend money on it with taxes .

He doesn’t need to. War/warrior god is literally what is written on paper.
It is literally impossible to have gotten godhead from what was written. Stephen came up with that on his own. Whats is a Godhead?
There is no translation of the chapter in any language that has Godhead. Stephen is the only one.

"War like minister of finance/agriculture/etc" "fierce minister of ...."
Does that sound better?
I'll translate this post for you guys: "I know that I'm wrong and I feel badass while being wrong".
I could tell you stories about my adventures as a Latin student and how literal Latin to German translations range from funny to straight gibberish.
The real problem here is that certain readers are obsessed with powerscaling so they cling to every little piece of hope and grasp at straws to wank their favourite characters and have the last word.

Damn Godhede sounds like German Gottheit=deity.
English literally lost all its native words and replaced them with bootleg Latin, it's so damn sad😢
