so, the english dub. this isn't really related... but here instead of a magician, Gotoh calls Hisoka "a cheap conjurer"... he's a Transmuter (変化), not a Conjurer (具現化), you moron! don't use a word that has a pre-established meaning in this setting in your translation!!

"A lethal pop quiz doesn't need to be answered." well, he's not wrong after all. as we can see, they both take the easy way out. I pity the translators though, since portraying the wordplay would be really difficult...

"The answer is... enough to kill you." unlike the "お死枚" we can can hear him saying, the dialogue is pretty straight forward without wordplay. They opt to, once again, portray it pretty directly without trying to use the nuanced wordplay.

so, the idea of a god with power over death is no longer portrayed, and is turned into the pretty simple "lethal", as in, "will result in death". It's kind of cool, but it's not as dramatic or exciting as "A Shinigami's". now for the answer to the quiz.
