Aluminium swords can cut through steel armor in goblin slayer

just like irum and coppum right?

It's an actual magic weapon, and for GS's equipment a fucking lightsaber.

why not have the sword be made out of mithril or adamantinium or something that actually makes sense?

someone checked the raws and confirmed itw as aluminum there too.

>wtf this isn't a goblin

Because the aren't real metals, the author probably wants to demonstrate how lightweight it is while also showing how sharp it is

I should have said real life knowledge not logic.

What does this have to do with the hardness of metals?

>something that actually makes sense?
>made up metals
What's the difference between that and just changing up the properties of real life metals?

> just changing up the properties of real life metals?

Because it confuses the reader. If you use a made up material, readers will go "oh its a fantasy material that has those properties". And mithril/adamantinium are familiar to fantasy readers.

If instead you say "yea this sword is made out of paper but it can cut through steel", then people are going to go "wait, what? paper? is that a translation error? that makes no sense".

They are not going to think "oh so paper works differently in this setting!".

You have a point but I don't think aluminum is something that most people know a lot about so they probably didn't get confused and just went with it. Aluminum was definitely a weird choice but I don't think it's a problem as long as they are consistent with it.

>magic can cut through steel armor in goblin slayer
um wtf? that doesnt work in real life!

>IM NOT WEARING ANY DIAMONDS

It's mithril.

> aluminum vs. aluminium
It's faux Latin either way, but the original discoverer (Humphry Davy) wanted to call it alumium before continental science fags bitched, and he settled on aluminum.
Some random faggot british reviewer of Davy's book said aluminium sounded more classic or some shit, after which bongs started using that, while Americans and Canadians just used what the book itself said (aluminum).

This is all just a lesson in not letting faggots who did no work themselves into bikeshedding arguments.

thats the latin names tho, the english names are iron and copper. Aluminium is absolutely valid.

He filed a patent for aluminium in europe, and one for aluminum in the states. So europeans use the former, and burgers the latter.

The RAW is light silver/軽銀, it fits NF motives as the lightning sword mage since silver is good electrical conductor. Yes translated together it can mean aluminum, but Japanese usually uses katakana アルミニウム or kanji 鋁 for aluminum. It should be translated separately.

wait, who makes aluminum swords unironically, other than ones enchanted with durability?

Alum is relatively difficult to smelt and having a handful of it was almost unheard of up until 1900 where breakthroughs happened for smelting and prized as much as gold before that.

Davy didn't file any patent you retard, and he just published one version of the book on the matter. Alumin(i)um productions wasn't remotely commercially viable until the Hall–Héroult process 50+ years after Davy discovered the metal, so drifts in the name had decades to settle in before it was a practical concern.

But it is a goblin.
