You should be good - when my last job ended, I technically had an option to transfer to an office in Idaho that I declined, and I had the same worry. But I was still able to claim unemployment just fine!

Bartholomew Kuma and Donquixote Doflamingo, yeah. Those were so infamously bad that parts of the fandom still cracks jokes about them!

S.S. Forward is more of a head scratcher but if I had to guess, it's likely a similar game of telephone with the Japanese "Going Merry-go." The -go is a suffix for ships, which I'd bet gives us the S.S., and "going" probably transformed into just "forward?" No clue where Merry went

I suspected that was the case here and was actually amused when looking it up. Chinese for hyena is Liègǒu ("mane dog"), while dachsund can be Làcháng quǎn ("sausage dog"), sometimes it's referred to as a hunting dog - also apparently Liègǒu.

A lot of scanlation groups back in the day cared more about being first than being good, and to that end would often "translate" from Chinese scans, as they'd often show up online earlier than Japanese. When you're working fast on a translation of a translation, you end up with a lot mistakes!
