Author's Commentary #283
Time to talk about Chapter 283: Prussia's declaration.
I'll admit, the main purpose of this chapter was to properly introduce all the members of both Prussian teams. Quite a few have already been revealed, but only three have gotten their bios. I'll also do bios for Unnur and Vesna as I didn't get the chance to do it in the previous commentary.
フォルクナー・キーナー (Volkner Keiner) is how Volkner's name is spelled in katakana.
His birthday is November 15th, which he shares with German grandmaster, Vincent Keymer.
His favorite piece is the knight.
ハンス・ウルリッヒ・ミュラー (Hans-Ulrich Müller) is how Hans-Ulrich's name is written in katakana. His character is loosely inspired by the Medic from Team Fortress 2.
His birthday is April 7th, which is the day Team Fortress Classic released.
His favorite piece is the bishop as he likes making use of both of them.
エーデルトラウト・ウルブリヒト (Edeltraud Ulbricht) is how Edeltraud's name is spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is June 22nd, which she shares with Edelgard von Hresvelg from Fire Emblem Three Houses, which is fitting since she'd loosely based off her.
Her favorite piece is the queen, because that's how she views herself
イングリッド・フォン・ヘッセル (Ingrid von Hessel) is how Ingrid's name is spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is January 4th, which she shares with Ingrid Brandi Galatea from Fire Emblem Three Houses, which is fitting since she shares her name with her and is loosely based off her.
マグダレナ・ヨック (Magdalena Yock) is how Magdalena's name is spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is April 17th, which she shares with Hubert von Vestra from Fire Emblem Three Houses.
Her favorite piece is the bishop.
シビル・ウィズナー (Sibylle Wizner) is how Sibylle's name is spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is December 9th, which she shares with Sibylla from Spy Kyoushitsu, who she is very loosely based off of. The birthday is also shared with Saloni Madhock, Indian International master Divya Deshmukh, and American grandmaster, Hikaru Nakamura, but that's more of a coincidental thing.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
ハンネロア・シュローダー (Hannelore Schroeder) is how Hannelore's name is spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is March 31st which she shares with Koneru Humpy, an Indian grandmaster and one of the top female chess players of all time.
Her favorite piece is the rook.
ウンヌール・スロッドセン (Unnur Throddsen) is how Unnur's name is spelled in katakana. She likes to refer to herself in the third person.
Her birthday is May 5th, which she shares with Miku Nakano from The Quintessential Quintuplets, which is fitting since she's loosely based off her.
Her favorite piece is the queen because she views herself as a villainess queen.
ヴェスナ・モローズ (Vesna Moroz) is how Vesna's name is spelled in katakana. Весна Мороз (Vesna Moroz) is how her name would be spelled in Ukrainian. Her name translates to "Spring Frost".
(If I made any mistakes with the translation, feel free to correct me).
Her birthday is June 5th, which she shares with Ukrainian grandmaster, Natalia Zhukova.
Her favorite piece is the pawn, as pawns represent an army of comonomers in her view.
And with that, all the Prussians have their bios along with Vesna and Unnur. With the focus on Prussia, I'm sure many will theorize that Prussia will likely be Japan's next opponent. The question is whether both teams will face Prussia. Though I think at least one of the teams will face them, though it would be a bit hillarious if none did as it would make Diderich's declaration all the more awkward. But regardless of if face Prussia next round, I will confirm that both teams will face Prussia at some point in the tournament.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
