JMS Neo Tokyo Boss: Aufheben
#17

So yeah...like anyone cares. Rolleyes I prefer Aufheben anyways because it's the literal translation, and it sounds similar to Bergamot and Nibelung.

I care o.0

And the "official" english translation for aufheben is sublate, but that is a word you only ever use in sociology. It bascially means that every concept has two polar opposites to it (love and hate, good and evil, heaven and hell) which are equal in value to each other.

The problem with aufheben is when you translate it from german to english, it means "to cancel" and "to keep" at the same time (among many other concepts, like to uplift, which is the literal translation "auf=on,up" "heben=lift"), so someone came up with the idea to come up with sublate to explain this concept. But let's just call the boss Aufheben, since that's what the japanese call it :-P

Thanks for the link, that boss background music is beyond epic.
