Ridoraba 3rd Boss got nerfed ?

[TaleraRistain]

It's kind of on subject but the name of the prime number move in English bugs the hell out of me. In mathematics, you say that a number is indivisible by a specific other number when it cannot be divided by that number without a remainder. It's not common to refer to prime numbers this way, since all numbers are divisible by 1 and themselves. It's just with prime numbers, these are the only things they are divisible by. I'm curious what it gets translated to in other languages or what it is in Japanese.

This would matter more as an argument if the boss didn't literally tell you to set yourself to a Prime. It personally took me multiple runs to realize his cast was even called "Indivisible" because I always read his actual verbal command which specifically states "Prime".

I mean, you're not wrong. Indivisible is probably a poor choice of word by the localization team. But as the boss tells you what to do anyway, the name of the ability itself is largely irrelevant when it comes to understanding the mechanic.
