Abyssion Battle Quote
How to translate Abyssion's quote in ToS has been bothering me for a while. The main problem I'm finding with translating it, however, is that there doesn't seem to be a consensus on what it is he says. What's currently on the wiki is みきれると思うな (mikireru to omouna), which I think should be written as 見切れる. Another I found was 生きれると思うな (ikireru to omouna).

For mikireru to omouna, I'm not totally sure how to translate it. From what I know, mikireru is the potential form of the verb mikiru which seems to mean "to abandon", so that means "to be able to abandon". omouna is the negative imperative of to think. So this becomes "Don't think you can abandon" which doesn't make a lot of sense.

For ikireru to omouna, ikireru means "to be able to live", which leads to "Don't think you can live" or more naturally "Don't think you can survive", which makes a lot of sense.

However, on a Japanese website, http://www.geocities.jp/radiantmythology/abi1.html, there was also a discussion on which it is. I don't know the consensus that was reached, but one post goes as follows:

真の力を見せてやろう I'll show you my true power. 生きれると思うな！ That's inevitable. 喰らうがいい Suffer it. すべてを砕けぇ！ Destroy all. お前たちには感謝している. この力こそ、求めていたもの. そのすべてが私のもとへと集まったのだ. 私に逆らえるものはもういるまい I want to thank all of you. This is the power I was seeking. All of the powe is within me. No one will be able to defy me. 見よ！この力を！ Power! 私を止めてみせよ！ Are you stop this!

In this post, the user writes ikireru, but correlates it to the localized quote "That's inevitable" (I think the actual quote is "Death is inevitable"). For reference, Abyssion does say this quote for other moves he uses as well, like Volt Arrow and Explosion, and says the corresponding quote in the localized version. The localized quote doesn't really seem to shed light on the actually quote, though.

As a side note, more sites seem to agree on mikireru, and there are significantly more hits for it on google than ikireru. So at the moment, my best guess is that the quote is probably "mikireru to omouna", and I'm not translating the verb conjugation completely correctly.

I'd love to hear what people think about this.
