create alias laios_thorden -> laios_touden
create alias falin_thorden -> falin_touden
rename laios_thorden_(dog) -> laios_touden_(dog)
rename laios_thorden_(chimera) -> laios_touden_(chimera)
rename laios_thorden_(dwarf) -> laios_touden_(dwarf)
create alias falin_thorden_(tallman) -> falin_touden_(tallman)
create alias falin_thorden_(chimera) -> falin_touden_(chimera)
rename falin_thorden_(doll) -> falin_touden_(doll)

For some reason we're still not using the official names of the Touden twins. Let's fix this. I'd think the main tags can stay as aliases while the subtags can just be renamed, but Falin's subtags have too many posts.

Source for this translation?

I decided to look into it, since at a cursory glance, Aqros is correct - if you check anywhere, you'll get Touden as opposed to Thorden. However, as someone who read the manga but paused ages ago, I was very confused! I decided to look deeper into it and found that at some point, around February 2021, most community resources on the manga elsewhere online changed to Touden too (so we're really far behind on this shit).

With this in mind, I delved back into the scanlation and quickly found my answer. February 13th, 2021, was when the Adventurer's Bible was released in Japan. The day after, the scanlation of chapter 71 dropped, and in the post-chapter credits, the team behind the scanlation revealed the official names as according to the Adventurer's Bible. That's where Touden comes in. Three days later, they dropped the scanlation of the first chapter of the Adventurer's Bible, on Laios, and clear as day, it gives his surname as Touden. And to double-confirm it, here's the corresponding page in Japanese, since it's early enough in the book that it is used in previews for purchasing it.
