Rascal's Translated Scenes and Requests

[M-92 Mantis]

Since the Translated Snippets thread is for Kit, I thought I'd rather move my own translation work here so I don't usurp her content. I'll leave what I've already done in that thread since there's a few pages of content that I can't just move into here without all the posts being out of order (thanks, PB.).

Before anything else, here's your final warning:

THIS IS NOTHING BUT SPOILERS, SO DON'T LOOK AT THIS THREAD IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY FUTURE SCENES IN CONTENT WE
HAVEN'T REACHED YET.

Requests are totally cool, there's just a few things you need to do for me to work on them:

- Know the volume and (even better) chapter your scene is in. I'm not going to do a request for a scene that you don't even know where to find it, because I'm not going to spend several hours searching through 60 GDW volumes to find it. Just knowing the volume is fine, but it helps a lot if you know the chapter, too.

- Scenes can't be longer than ten pages. Although I have improved a lot on my translating and am not as slow as I used to be, it still takes time, and I can't use that time when it needs to go to scanlations. Our work is always priority, but all scenes and such are during free time. I'm happy to do them, just know that most scenes, even short ones, might take a few days since I have a job now and am usually working 'til closing, on my shift.

- I can do scenes from scans/RAWs we have available. Meaning, in example, if you want to see a Lassie scene, ask me if I have the volume available and I can clean and typeset it. If it's already been scanned, I can do it, but I don't want to scan anything just for a request, even if I have the manga available. So in another example, if you want to see a scene in GDA volume 5, I won't do it until I've actually been able to scan that volume, which I will inform you on if you had requested that. Things I don't even have available, like GDR, for one, cannot be done. If there's new scanlations available, I will let people who have requested it before know.

Tenka's Supernatural Debut

This is the only part of the scene, Tenka only speaks to Gennai for these three pages before it cuts away. What we know now, though, is that While Masamune is paranoid about finding and killing Tenka, Tenka doesn't care and is giving people chances to leave his territory. He's not picking fights with any factions, but Masamune and Mateus are terrified of him and are trying to find his mountain, which now I can confirm IS named Taishan. I believe it's named after the real Taishan in China, since it's similar despite the poisonous gas surrounding it, since I can't imagine Tenka is seriously in China and people are going back and forth from China to Japan .

Gennai went out to speak for Tenka to Masamune and Kenshin to give them three days to leave in peace, or bring their entire army to surrender to them. Tenka has no issues with subjugating Masamune's armies, but he only kills when he feels it's necessary, as we can see with his orders to Gennai. This already makes Tenka 1000x more interesting to me than Masamune's generic evil villain morals and goals.

This is also my first practice on localizing dialogue so that people don't sound so clunky or robotic, so I hope you guys enjoy it!

Orion and Yamabiko Reunite

Ignore my half-assed attempt at localizing Yamabiko's Shikoku dialect into a vague accent.

Hougen Distrusts Sniper

Hougen begins to suspect Sniper of being a spy for Ohu, and feels he is of no use anymore.

Hougen Buries Sniper Alive

Here's the middle scene (all these scenes play with other POVs of Ohu between them), and Sneeper tries to confess his love to Hougen, but Hougen is too tsundere.

For real, though, Sniper seems more terrified of knowing Hougen doesn't believe in him than he does of the death, and when he realizes he's going to die, he truly accepts it, as long as it's what Hougen wants. I'd like to point out that in the end scene after this, when Sniper wakes up in a daze, he truly thought he had died, so he wasn't pulling his speech out of his metal ass. I think it's actually interesting to see a villain with the same 'manly death' mentality as Ohu, to die for someone you believe in, and how that somehow moves Hougen to know Sniper really thought of him in admiration because of their similarities.

Sniper Gets A Second Chance

Final scene! I love how bullshit Sniper's reason is for gaining feeling back in his... prosthetic legs, but I must approve of the whole "the power of evil love conquers all." The Devil is a good matchmaker.

Sniper Trains His Metal Legs

Oh! Bonus scene, this is the very next volume, but since I needed context of what the fuck the narration was talking about (because it's so fucking nonsensical), I did the scenes before it. Sniper begins to train himself to walk on his prosthetic metal legs.

Awesome, Teddo! I really love your translated scenes. Thank you so much! It looks like you're improving a lot with your Japanese, congratulations.

I don't have any requests, but I'd be very interested in anything in the P4 / Hougen arc, and how the manga is different from the anime. Or, you know, more Sniper/Hougen love.

*Follows*

[Tora]

Iieeep!!! Snip.... I mean Murder S scenes are just amazing! Great job Teddo. ^^

[M-92 Mantis]

Thank you very much, Togo and Tora!

I'll try doing something from the P4 arc, I can't remember anything in particular so I'll peruse the volumes and do a scene if I find something that seems worth sharing

[Kit]

I was thinking about doing the Sakura/Lucy flashback scene in my own snippets, so maybe you could do the flashback of why Smith was assumed a traitor, as a sister translation to it? It's slightly long, though, so vol 13, pages 96-105, maybe?

I just think it'd be fun to tag-team for a longer scene in the manga. (I have no ideas for a P4 scene for you, right now.)

[M-92 Mantis]

Sure! I'm down for any requests since it counts as my japanese practice

[Ryan]

Could you please do Weeds flashback/dream from vol 30 pages 67-75? I was mostly wondering what Weed was telling Gin after Weed wakes. I'm so excited to see the flash back about Sakura and Lucy too!

[M-92 Mantis]

Weed's Dream (or Memory?)

Here's the scene requested by Ryan , about Weed's first dream including his brothers, Joe and Yukimura. Take note that Joe and Yukimura are both the same color, until Joe was retconned into being brindle like Weed and Gin

Thanks, M-92 Mantis ! That was really interesting to read.

500!
