Yes. Basically, I’ve been hating this trop since seeing the original Star Trek (Mr. Spoke follows a version of that trope where he mixes up things in metaphors in ways that make no sense).
In the specific case I described (and that you indeed illustrated; I would assume that your Japanese is overall better than hers), it’s completely unrealistic for her to know both words and mix them that way (although I did find this instance funny; there are other instances, but they were not fun so I forgot the details). The best I can think of is that someone introduced the first word and then immediately got reminded of the second one because of the pattern and mentioned it too, leading to her confusion? That sounds like the kind of weird leap Tokimune or Kikkawa would make.
Also, the whole main party in general, although I would like to know more about them, especially the women. Haruhiro isn’t hanging out with them as of late, so we basically don’t know anything. More chapters from their point of view would be nice.
I forgot to reply to that. I’m talking about them blindly rushing ahead in multiple instances, leading eventually to a near total wipeout. We haven’t seen them fight at full potential (they have multiple healers in a place with no healing magic, so it is unfair), but it’s hard to believe that they didn’t lose party members even with the strength on display at the beginning of volume 6 (I read the free preview, which covers the fight against the giant). I’m right there shaking my head along with Haruhiro. Or sighing I guess. That’s more his thing.
