Happy 300 Chapters! And Happy Birthday! Lot's of things are happening! Enjoy!

A question: On page 2, do you think it could read Zomarre? (intriguing)

Bleach Chapter 300

Page 1
Shinigami: Huff, huff, huff, huff
Shinigami: Y…You’re so mean Captain Kuchiki
Disappearing on me with Shunpo…
Even though I told you that I couldn’t use Shunpo before we…
Shinigami: Left.
Shinigami: Owww!
Sidetext: The captains are in battles!! And here we have a lone Shinigami! And their name is…!?

Page 2
Bleach 300. Curse Named Love
Sidetext: He prays without disturbing his heart.*
[*Note: かくあれかし is added on after this. I believe this refers to a phrase where one prays with their heart. If anyone knows more, suggestions would be appreciated.]

Page 3
Zommari: Spoilt?
Zommari: Me?
Now why would you think that?
Zommari: You are an enemy, but you are of Captain class. I consider you to have the same status as I, so I will treat you in that respect.
My heart is not spoiled.

Page 4
Byakuya: Arrancar…
Considering themselves in the same class as myself…
Byakuya: That in itself,
Already shows you are spoilt.
Zommari: …I see.

Page 5
Zommari: Somehow,
It appears that arrogance is in your nature.
Zommari: Very well then.
Then I shall crush your arrogance,
Zommari: Right to the end.
Zommari: Calm yourself,

Page 6
Zommari: Brujeria.
*Spanish = Witchcraft

Page 11
Zommari: What is wrong? You’re wondering why you felt nothing even though you sensed that I was going to attack.
If you don’t understand, I shall explain.
Zommari: Too bad.

Page 12
I’ve already done something,
To you.

Page 13
Zommari: That left leg,
Has now become mine.
Byakuya: What…
…is this…?
Zommari: All things have a ruler.
Superiors govern their subordinates,
Kings govern their people,
Wind governs the clouds,
And the sun governs the moon.
Zommari: My ability, Brujeria,
Has the power to become the ruler of whatever these eyes see.

Page 14
Zommari: I call this power of mine,
“Amor”.
Zommari: If you still don’t understand, I can repeat it…
Zommari: I feel sorry for you. If you are too shallow,
It might be too hard for you to understand this.
Zommari: You will understand if I demonstrate it.
Now “left leg”. Come here.
Zommari: Resistance is meaningless. You have lost the right to your leg. Now, one more step.

Page 15
Zommari: …Oh.
You cut your muscle and tendons to your leg in an instant. That would stop it from moving.
Zommari: Quickly decided. Impressive.
Well now―

Page 16
Zommari: How about her?

Page 17
Zommari: Well.
Zommari: You managed to move there with just one leg?
That’s something you would expect from a Captain.
Byakuya: …Bastard…

Page 18
Hanatarou: I’ve finally caught up!!
That was mean of you to leave me behind Captain Kuchiki.
I almost got lost...
Hanatarou: Whaaat!?
Captain Kuchiki!! Your leg looks majorly injured!!
Hanatarou: Huh? Isn’t that Rukia!?
Zommari: So another noisy one has come.
Byakuya: …Yamada Hanatarou,
Byakuya: Step back.

Page 19
Hanatarou: F…Fine then.
I’ll move straight away! Sorry for being in the way!!
Byakuya: Don’t interfere. You’re an eyesore.
Byakuya: I’ll say it once more.
Step back.
Sidetext: The cruel Zommari targets the raging Byakuya.
Byakuya: As there’s no guarantee,
That I won’t end up injuring you in this fight.

Sidetext: Las Noches assaulted!! All the Captain’s battles have begun!!

Page 2
Exequias: Let us retreat.
Isane: Wai-
Unohana: Isane,
Unohana: Our duty is to heal those who are injured.
It is not to chase after those who have run away.
Unohana: Now,
Let us heal them.
Unohana: Both Sado-san,
And that Arrancar.
Ishida: …Wh…

Page 3
Ishida: Why are you…
At a place like this…!?
Szayel Aporro: What’s this?
You know each other Quincy?
Mayuri: Know each other? Well…
You expect me to know such an inferior race?
Ishida: What did you say…!?
Szayel: Now now.

Page 4
Szayel: Please don’t squabble. It’s so unsightly.
Szayel: Now, I’ll ask again.
Just who might you be?
Szayel: …No, actually don’t answer.
Szayel: After all, I’ll be the one to put an end to your life.
So hearing your name would be pointless.
Mayuri: Is that so?
Mayuri: Well you see,
It will be annoying if I don’t ask your name.

Page 5
Szayel: …
…Why?
Mayuri: Why? Aren’t you an idiot?
Isn’t it obvious already?
Mayuri: When I have you bottled,
I’ll need to write your name on it!
Szayel: …
…Heh.

Sidetext: Las Noches versus Soul Society

Page 8
Zomali: What is wrong?
Zomali: You’re not going to come,
Intruder?

Page 9
Zomali: I must say,
That it’s pointless for you to go and save,
That Shinigami.
Zomali: Give it up.
Byakuya: I don’t understand,
Byakuya: What is the meaning of ‘pointless’?

Page 10
Zomali: This is what it means.

Page 11
Byakuya: …What,
Is that?

Page 12
Zomali: It is Gemelos Sonido*
My Sonido is the fastest amongst the Espada.
Just by taking a short step, I can make it look like that I have second clone.
Zomali: Well,
This kind of magic is just play.
Zomali: Magic referring to an object which surprises their opponent.
Just because you were surprised since you could not follow it with your eyes,
Doesn’t mean you should feel ashamed with yourself.
Byakuya: Indeed.
*Spanish: Twin Sounds

Page 13
Byakuya: However, you should be ashamed.
For showing your skills,
Byakuya: So early before me.
Zomali: Unfortunate.

Page 14
Zomali: Gemelos Sonido’s limit is not two bodies.
Byakuya: Is that so?
Byakuya: Destructive Spell: Number Four
White Lightning

Page 16
Zomali: The maximum number of clones I can make with Gemelos Sonido,
Is five.

Page 17
Byakuya: …
…Damn…
Zomali: …Goodbye,
Captain whose name I do not know.
Zomali: The reason you lost,
Is because you were too stuck up in telling me your name.

Page 18
Byakuya: Secret Mobile Corp “Shihou’s” 3rd:
Utsusemi*
Byakuya: I learnt that technique from her.
I didn’t want to use it though.
Kanji: Cicada Shell.

Page 19
Byakuya: You are the spoilt one,
Espada.
Byakuya: But do not worry.
You will be defeated not by that.
Byakuya: But rather by our difference,
In status.
Sidetext: Head of the Kuchiki House and 6th Squad Captain, Kuchiki Byakuya. His strength and status now revealed!!

Did you get so beaten up that you’ve lost it in the head?

Page 6

You’re next right?

Page 11
Ichigo: K…Kenpachi…
Why…are you here…?
Ichigo: I thought Soul Society wasn’t involved in this fight…
Ichigo: Ooph!
Inoue: K…Kurosaki-kun!?
Kenpachi: You’re in the way.
Move it.
Ichigo: *cough*, *cough*
Damn it…
Bastard….

Page 12
Kenpachi: It was Urahara Kisuke.
That bastard was given orders from the Old man when we decided to have the war in winter.
One of those orders was to stabilize that hole, Garganta,
So that the Captains could access Hueco Mundo at full strength.

Page 13
Kenpachi: Initially, it was going to take him three months to do it.
But apparently he said he could do could it in one.
Kenpachi: However,
That woman there by chance was kidnapped.

Yachiru: And!
Ken-chan got here perfectly through that hole!
Kenpachi: Yachiru! Get out of there!
Kenpachi: Seriously…

Page 14
Szayel Aporro: And,
Who might you be?
Kenpachi: I could have taken care of this,
All by myself.

Page 17
Espada: And who,
Are you?
Unohana: I am one of the Gotei 13, 4th Squad Captain, Unohana Retsu.
Isane: I’m in the same squad, Vice Captain, Isane Kotestu.
Exequias: A Captain…!?

Page 18
Espada: I take it you’re a Shingami Captain judging from that coat…
Zomali: I am the Septima Espada, Zomali Loroux
Now, name yourself intruder.
Kurotsuchi: Kukuku…
“Who might I be”…?
Kurotsuchi: Is there really any need to,
Answer that question?
Byakuya: I will not answer.
The only thing you need to know is,

Page 19
Byakuya: That we are your enemies.
Zomali: Obviously.
Unohana: We have only come to heal everyone’s injuries.
We do not have any intention in fighting with you.
Kurotsuchi: Arrancar... Arrancar... Arrancar...
Kuku!
Espada!
Kukukuku, so interesting, really!
Kurotsuchi: Hueco Mundo is,
A box of treasures!
Byakuya: I also would like,
To ask one thing.

Page 20
Byakuya: Are you the one who fought with her?
Zomali: …I was not the one.
However,
I’m only here to end things.
Byakuya: I see.

Page 21
Kenpachi: …So you finally came.
Nnoitra: …What’s your name,
Shinigami?

Page 22
Kenpachi: 11th Squad Captain, Zaraki Kenpachi!
Nnoitra: Quinto Espada, Nnoitra Jilga!!!

Page 8
Pesche: Huff…huff….huff…why…?
Pesche: Why didn’t it hit him…?
Szayel Aporro: “Why didn’t it hit” you ask?
It’s because you gave me too much time.
Szayel: You didn’t think I’d notice that your masks had changed?
Well I have. From the moment I first saw you, I knew you were Nelielle’s Fracion.

Page 9
Szayel: So while I fought the Quincy and the Shinigami,
I continued measuring all your movements, reiatsu and experience.
Szayel: You called it Cero Sincrético right?
It’s truly a wonderful move at full strength.
Szayel: But, I predicted this already.
Szayel: Pesche Gatiische,
and Dondo Chakka Bilstan.
Szayel: Let me tell you, that your cause of defeat,
Is because you didn’t use that move the moment this battle started.
Szayel: …Well then.

Page 10
Szayel: It seems like,
You’ve used up your moves?
Ishida & Renji: …
Szayel: Well done Gentlemen.
It seems that we can finally bring a close to this tedious performance.
Szayel: Let’s put an end,
To it all.

Page 11
Espada: Aaroniero Arleri…
Espada: The remaining of the first line of Espada...
What a tragic ending for you.
Espada: Just as I expected.

Page 12
Espada: You were careless in finishing her off.
Espada: Everyone’s too careless.
She’s alive, when she should be dead.
Espada: You should have cut off her head.
That’s the best way of doing it.
Espada: …Don’t worry Aaroniero,
I will complete your wasted efforts.

Page 13
Exequias: …They’re both barely breathing.

Exequias: Start,
The collation.

I’m sorry.
Szayel: It looks like you didn’t hear me.

Page 3
Renji: Tch,
Even though they’re fakes, I don’t like seeing them being blown up.
Szayel: Well now,
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Allow me to show you,
The true power of Fornicarás.

Page 4
Ishida: Sorry for being so anxious, but…
Unfortunately, I don’t have any interest in your power.
Ishida: We’ll be intruding in on your debut.
Renji: I’m doing the same!!

Page 6
Szayel: …I'll be the one to apologize.
You don’t have any say in this.
Szayel: I’m forcing you to participate.

Page 7
Renji: Ishida!!
Ishida: Ugh…
Urgh…
Renji: Damn it!!

Page 8
Renji: Huh!?
Szayel: Heh,
Szayel Thanks for the meal.

Page 9
Renji: !? A doll of Ishida…?
Renji: Ishida! Hey Ishida! Wake up!!
Ishida: Uh…
Renji: Are you alright!? Has your mind…
Ishida: …I’m fine…Stop yelling so close to me…
Szayel: Yeees~!

Page 10
Szayel: I am heeere~!
Ishida: …What’s that…a copy…?
Szayel: Hmmm?
What, you say? I’m just replying, since you called for him.
Szayel: Thank you Ishida.
Now your role as Ishida-kun is over.
This will be Ishida-kun.

Page 11
Ishida: What the…
Szayel: What was that?
Did you feel me touch you?
Szayel: I don’t think I've explained it well enough. I’ll put it like this,
I have total control over your 5 senses.
Szayel: In other words,

Page 12
Renji: Ishida!!
Szayel: Just like that.
Szayel: What's more…
Renji: What the hell…
Are you doing…?
Renji: QUIT IT!!!

Page 13
Renji: Shit!!
Ishida: …

Page 14
Szayel: You idiot.
This doll’s just a make. Do you really think he’d split in two when I tore this in half?
Szayel: Whatever. Oh, look at this.
Can you see it?
Szayel: There’s so many little parts inside him.
Ishida: …so what?
Szayel: Don’t you think they’re so colorful? It’s like a kid’s toy.
The fun’s all in here.
...Well, showing it to idiots like you will be quicker.
Szayel: Heh,
The stomach?
*Estómago = stomach in Spanish

Page 16
Renji: Ishida!!
Ishida: Urgh…
Aa…argh!!
Renji: You bastard!!!
Szayel: Don’t make such a fuss,
I've only crushed his stomach.

Page 17
Renji: Gwargh!!
Szayel: Oh well…
You get all surprised from such small things, and don’t see what’s ahead.
You're just like kids.
Szayel: Humans, Shinigami and Quincy…they’re all the same.
They’re equally inferior.
Szayel: If there’s a reason for you to be destroyed by Aizen-sama.
It’s because…

Page 18
Szayel: Of your inferiority.
Sidetext: The fearful power of the Fornicarás before them is a technique like no other!!

Page 19
Nnoitra: …Why’d ya stop?
Nel: Same to you.

Page 20
Nnoitra: Idiot.
I saw ya stop, so I stopped as well.
Nnoitra: …You’re so annoying.
Makes me think of that time, when I fought ya.
Nnoitra: After all that,
Ya haven’t changed a bit.
Nnoitra: From that time,
Nothing’s new.
Sidetext: “That time…” What happened when Nel was in Las Noches…!?

Inoue: Nel-cha…Hey Nel-san!!

Tesla: I…I’m really…sorry…

Page 7
Nnoitra: …What’s up? Even though ya hit me with your Cero along with my one ya sucked up…
How am I still alive? That’s painted across your face.
Noitra: It’s true...that I forgot that “Double Cero” is your special move…
I shoulda’ been more careful…
‘Cept, you’ve forgotten somethin’ too.
Nnoitra: How many years do ya think have passed,
Nnoitra: Since you've been gone from here?

Page 8
Nnoitra: Don’t go thinking that,
That the Espada’s power is the same as it was last time!
Nelielle!!!
Sidetext: Former #3…redundant!?
Nnoitra: Let me tell ya,
That number on your back,
Holds no meaning whatsoever now!

Bleach 292. Rupture My Replica

Page 9
Fighters: Uwooorgghhh!!
Uwah!
Fighters: Yaargh!
Dondo: Watch out Renji!
Renji: Uwaargh!!!

Page 10
Dondo: I…I was being dangerous?
Renji: You idiot!! I’m the real one!!
Why did you ask yourself that!? If you’re not sure, then don’t attack!!
Pesche: Watch out Dondo Chakka!!
Renji: Gwargh!!
Pesche: Huh!? No way…you’re just like Renji…
Renji: You bastard…you intended to do that…
Ishida: What are you all doing?
Ishida: I’ve just come to tell you I’ve noticed the differences between us and the clones!
Listen up!
Ishida: First, there’s only a small difference with the skin around Abarai-kun’s and my clone’s eyes, as well as the quality of our hair, which is tough to notice!
Ishida: They’re the two main differences!

Page 11
Ishida: Next are Dondo Chakka’s clones. There are no spots on their back! These are extremely easy to see!
Dondo: They’re not spots! I want you to call them polka dots!!
Ishida: And lastly are Pesche’s clones! I think they’re the easiest to notice…
Look that way...
Ishida: His clones are wearing pants!!
Others: WHAT!!?
Renji: Ah, he’s right!!
Dondo: It’s true!!
Pesche: O…Oh! I can’t believe I didn’t notice differences so big…!
Ishida: You hadn’t noticed…? What were you looking at when fighting then?
Renji: They’re some major screw ups…
Don’t tell me that bastard is really an idiot?
Ishida: And who was it that didn’t notice those major screw ups?

Page 12
Szayel Aporro: I’m not an idiot.
Renji: Uwooh! You’re listening to us!?
Szayel: The clothes and the spots weren’t appealing to my sense of beauty… so I chose to remove them.
Renji: Even though they’re clones, you made it a stupid hobby of yours to go change their clothes!!
Dondo: They’re not spots!! They’re polka dots!!
Renji: Kuh!
Renji: Ishida! This space is too small to be fighting in! We have to get out!!
Ishida: How!? We couldn’t escape before!!

Page 13
Renji: Hang on…I've got an idea...!
Bankai!!
Renji: Baboon King, Zabimaru!!!!
Ishida: Idiot…if you use that in a place like this…
Clones: Bankai!! Bankai!! Bankai!! Bankai!! Bankai!!

Page 16
Renji: Heh.
Renji: Just as I thought...Since they’re just my clones, I figured they’d copy my attacks.
I thought that if I tried using my Bankai, they’d try and copy me…
Ishida: *cough* *cough*

Page 17
Renji: Yo! You’re still alive!!
What’d you think of my idea?
Ishida: What idea!?
Ishida: How do I put it…
You’re just like Kurosaki!
Renji: Ha! Don’t! Bringing out Ichigo’s name won’t make me feel special!
Ishida: Of course it won’t! I’m being harsh to you!!
Renji: Dondo Chakka and Pesche…they’ll be alright.
Those guys are pretty tough.
Renji: The problem is Szayel Aporro. We should be careful about him.
He’ll most likely come out from below us with a ‘Boom’.

Page 18
Szayel: …Oh well…
Szayel: This place is all in ruins now…
The one to tell that to Aizen-sama…
Szayel: Will find it unpleasant.

Page 19
Ishida: …The clones are…!
Szayel: Let’s stop this…Fighting this way’s kinda boring.
Sidetext: A further terror!
Szayel: I’ll do it personally. Let me show you,
The true power of Fornicarás.

Hey there, been a while since I've been around. Too many things have happened (got sick first, followed by many other events), so hopefully I can bring back my form again with translating.

Nel: I…I don’t want to believe it Ichigo…
Nel: Nel…Nel wouldn’t trick Ichigo…

Page 6
Ichigo: Of course not!
Ichigo: I don’t believe you’d ever trick us.
Nel: Ichigo…
Ichigo: Don’t worry Nel.
We will…

Page 7
Nel: Ichigo!!!
Noitora: Hah!

Page 8
Noitora: It seems that shit’s somehow lost her memory…
Whatever.
Noitora: Well, I must have slashed her up pretty well.
Noitora: I guess that’s why she’s saying she lost her memory.
Ichigo: Hold it.
Did you say…you slashed her?

Page 9
Noitora: Correct.
Noitora: I was the one who slashed her face!
Inoue: Nel-chan!!
Ichigo: Quit it!!!

Ichigo: *huff* *huff* *huff*

Ichigo: Gwah!
Ugh!

Yes, all good things must come to an end. I must say I’m quite sad myself that this manga is finishing, as it was one of the things I really found myself looking forward to, translating it to English even before I would get a chance to read it. Well, it was worth the trip and I hope you enjoyed the series. Hmmm, what series do I translate next…?

Blue Dragon: Chapter 29 (Final)

Page 1
Obscuria: It’s just as Biyon said. You either don’t know what you’re doing or you’re just a complete fool!
SFX: *stomp stomp stomp*

Sidetext: The Rhinoceros and the Human…A plan to defeat them surely is…

Obscuria: The Demon of Fury is said to be the strongest of all shadows!! You look pitiful, Blue Dragon!
SFX: *charge*

Page 2+3
Sidetext: The final Blue Flame!! Light and Darkness, fates divided!!
SFX: *BLAST*
SFX: *CRACK*
Suns: He did it! The black Rhino is done for!
SFX: *rumble*
Kafka: But if uses that, Grad will…
Shadows: Bira-sama, he beat the Rhino!
He beat it!
Obscuria: Quit yelling. I’ve just seen the Blue Flame before me.

Page 4+5
Ral: Get out here Obscuria!
Obscuria: I’ll say that you’ve done well to make it this far.
SFX: *grab*
Obscuria: Using the Blue Flame requires you use to the power within your host, except…
Obscuria: Seems like I can go on for a bit longer!
SFX: *rise*
Ganette: Obscuria!
Ral: She has…
Others: Obscuria!
Obscuria: It’s been a while Blue Dragon!
DIE!!!
SFX: *stare*

Obscuria: !
Others: !
Obscuria: WHY!?
WHY AREN’T MY EYES WORKING!?

Page 7
Dragon: Even if I look like this, I’m a human.
Mio: !
Ral is…
Kafka: What’s wrong Mio?
Ganette: Ral’s gone!?
Obscuria: !!
Obscuria: Impossible! Did you turn into a Second…!?
SFX: *rumble*

Page 8
SFX: *ROAR*
Grad: Wrong. I am human who has who has completely fused with the shadow, Grad.
I am the Human Ral. No, I am Ral Grad.

Page 9
Others: …completely…fused…
Ral Grad: Of course. The dragon’s mind is in my body too.
If I achieve fusion, I must live in Noir when it is restored.
SFX: *rumble*
Ral Grad: We share one body and exist in the world of light as a human form.
When Noir is restored, we will exist as a shadow. That is complete fusion.
Obscuria: F…Fool! Such a thing is…!
Kafka: Existing as a shadow in Noir when it’s restored!?
Mio: Ral…

Page 10
Mio: Ral!? Is that you!?
What do you mean, saying you’ll live in Noir?
I don’t understand…
Ral Grad: It’s the only way I can beat Obscuria and the Black Rhinoceros
Ral Grad: It’s over Obscuria. I’m going to destroy your castle.
I will put an end to you. You may be able to escape a blade, but you cannot run away from the Blue Flame.
Ganette: SHOOT RAL!
THE WOMEN DEPEND ON IT!
Obscuria: FOOL…NO…
Mio: RAL…

Page 11
SFX: *BLUE FLAME*
Obscuria: GYAAARRGH!

Page 12
SFX: *crumble*
SFX: *zoom*
Grad: Ral, that Black Crystal is proof of Obscuria. If you put your shadow in, Noir will return.
Ral: Got it.
Others: It’s over.
The end of Obscuria…
SFX: *rumble*

Page 13
Ral Grad: If I cut into this Black Crystal with my shadow, it will all end.
Is there anyone else who wants to do this?
Mio: Ral.
Mio: Are you really going back to Noir?
Ral Grad: …
Mio: We don’t have to fear the shadows anymore! Stay in this world Ral!
Ral Grad: I can’t do that Mio-Sensei. I made a promise with Grad.
Ral Grad: And Grad has no intention in staying behind in this world.
Ganette: The aren’t many girl shadows. What’ll you do?
SFX: *flash*

Page 14
Phoenix: The Black Crystal calls me.
SFX: *swirl*
Others: The Phoenix!
Yaya-chan.
Mio: The Phoenix is a girl…
Phoenix: Obscuria is dead and I can move freely from this child.
Kafka: I was worried which one of you it was there.
Ganette: Well if he has her, he wouldn’t consider disturbing this world.
Voice: Very well.
SFX: *roar*

Page 15
RESTORE NOIR!
Ganette: Gaira!
Suns: Gunsui!
Aya: Kuru Kuru!
Voice: Look, the shadows at all returning to Noir.
SFX: *zoom*

Page 16
Mio: Ral, wait…
Ral Grad: Mio-Sensei…
Ral Grad: Thank you for helping me out, Mio-Sensei.
Mio: Don’t go Ral…
Mio: If you have to go…
Take me with you!
Mio: Yes! Let me join the Phoenix! I’ll fuse!
If I do that, then I can go to Noir with…

Page 17
Ral Grad: It won’t work Mio-Sensei. Even if a shadow in Friend Form tries to enter another human, it’s not possible to form a connection.
If you turned into a Phoenix, you’d have no breasts, wouldn’t you? That doesn’t matter anyway. I can’t complain about the breasts in your peaceful world.
Haha.
Ral: Mio-Sensei, everyone. It was fun being in the World of Light, even if it was for just a bit.
I’m really happy that everyone helped me to protect the World of Light.
Ral: Seeya.

Page 18
Kafka: He’s gone…
Aya: Yeah.
Ganette: Adios. Gaira, Grad, Corey, other shadows, and…
Ral.
Mio (thinking): Thank you Ral.

Page 19
Grad: Are you really happy about this?
Ral: Ah,
It was tough leaving Mio-Sensei, but,
I’ve been thinking about the Phoenix since that fight.
Grad: ?
Ral: For me,
If there’s one thing I don’t want to leave, it has to be the Friend I’ve been with since I was born.

Sidetext: Thank you very much for reading this manga.
We hope that you read the future works of Takano and Obata-Sensei.

Translator’s note: Hope you enjoyed it. =)

Halibel: That’s a released form of the Espada fighting.
You can’t avoid this fear.
Halibel: That is the primal fear.
Keep it close.
Apache: …
Fracción: …Yes…
Halibel (thinking): However…
Is it really a human he’s fighting?
Halibel (thinking): The amount of reiatsu, its concentration, its strange feeling…
Wouldn’t make me consider him to be one.
Halibel (thinking): It’s as if it’s…

Grimmjow: Have you been training after the last fight?
Or is it that you’ve just improved without realizing it…?

Page 8
Grimmjow: Whatever it is, I don’t give.
I didn’t come here to see your mask fall off. That’d be boring…
Grimmjow: Right!?
SFX: *grab*
Ichigo: If my mask fell off…
You’re saying you’d get bored?

Page 9
Grimmjow: Don’t make me laugh!!

Hey. I know you've probably read Bleach this week, but I've made a decision that I will be translating Bleach weekly from now on (the more, the merrier right?), for a multiple number of reasons (can ask me in my Ask Thread). So sit back, and enjoy the music!

Ichigo: …But, I’m going to say it anyway.
Don’t worry.
Ichigo: Because I’ll,
Put an end to this soon.
Grimmjow: …Ku…

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 19:05:11 +0000

Probably my best chapter in translating yet. Hope you enjoy it, with the additional sound effects. =P

Blue Dragon: Chapter 27

Page 1
People: Ugh…
People: Ugh…
Mio: That’s Alenimon’s web!
Suns (thinking): Biyon.
Ral: There’s no way I could break down this castle with the blue flame.
Kafka: Going inside won’t be easy.
What should we do?

Tale 28 – RUN

Sidetext: The impregnable fortress…surrounded by a web!?

Page 2
Shadow: Fufu
SFX: *drop*
Biyon: Let’s kill anyone trapped in my web without relying on my followers.
Biyon: Play around with the humans in this web as much as you like.
Shadow: You’re interesting Biyon. Fufu.
Shadow: I’m going to the back of the castle.
Golza, move west.
Urs, take east.
Shadows: Got it.
Ganette: That’s a good plan, except what if your enemies got in before they were stuck to your web?
Shadow: Yeah, what if? Huh?

Page 3
Ganette: Adios!
SFX: *slice*
Biyon: Guh!
SFX: *unravel*
Kafka: What!? What’s happening?
SFX: *drop*
Ral: Ah, it’s Ganette!
Ganette: These people need to find somewhere safe.
Senol, let Meesh create darkness.

Page 4
Shadow: Biyon was beaten?
The other 4 Royal Knights were beaten too!?
Obscuria: You fools! I thought I’d told you not to worry about my ‘hands’.
Shadows: We’re fools! That’s right!
Gyahaha!
Heee!
Obscuria: !
Shadows: T…
What?
Shadows: It’s dark!
The darkness.
What’s this night person doing? Look!

Page 5
SFX: *slash*
Shadow: Gyah!
SFX: *leap*
SFX: *whoosh*
SFX: *suu*
Ganette: !

Page 6
SFX: *stab*
Ganette: Tch, that bitch vanished.
Voice: Come forth, Black Rhinoceros!
SFX: *crack crack crack*
Ganette: Lela, Senol, let’s go now!
Lela: Got it.
What? Already…? No way!
SFX: *zoom*

Page 7
SFX: *rumble*
SFX: *crack crack*
Rhino: Ogyaargh!
SFX: *SMASH*
Shadows: It’s the Black Rhinoceros!
It’s out!
It’s huge!
It’s disgusting!!

Page 8
SFXL *CRASH*
Rhinoceros: Ogyaaargh!
SFX: *stomp stomp stomp*
Ral: Ganette!
It’s the Rhinoceros!
Suns: It’s massive!
SFX: *rise*
SFX: *stare*
SFX: *bang*
Ganette and Co: !!

Page 9
Lela: Ganette-sama, Blatz has–
Senol: Nooo!
Ganette: Obscuria has only killed the shadow with her eyes. We’ll fall into her hands at this rate.
Ganette: !
Ganette: The Rhino’s below us!
SHIT!
Lela: Ganette-sama, use this.
SFX: *jump*
SFX: *hiss*
SFX: *crack*
Ganette: If I didn’t have the Tiger’s legs, we’d all be screwed by now.
Senol: No way! Nice! You’re the best!

Page 10
Ral: Haha, is Ganette running again?
Ganette: You’re late Ral, what’s been keeping you?
Ral: Late? Have you beaten Obscuria yet?
Ganette: No, she’s still here!
Ral: Sweet, can I join your game of tag too?
SFX: *stomp stomp stomp*
Ganette: Huh?
Ral: I said I’m gonna come and run with you too!
Ganette: You idiot! Both my hands are full! I’m useless here!
Senol: Full? As if!

Page 11
Ral: I’m telling you to swap Lela and Senol’s places with me!
Anyhow, it’s probably after you and I, with our Dragon and Tiger!
Mio: Ral, what are you going to do in this situation?
Ganette (thinking): What on earth is Ral thinking anyway?
Ganette: Fine! Lela, Senol!
SFX: *skid*
Senol: Do it when you’re calm!
Rhino: Ugyaargh!
SFX: *smash*
Ganette: Kafka, Mio, Suns, Aya, take care of them!
SFX: *flash*
Suns: Fast!

Page 12
Ganette: The Rhino’s here.
SFX: *stomp stomp*
SFX: *suck*
SFX: *hisss*
Rhino: Ugyaaargh!

Page 13
Ganette: What are you gonna do Ral?
Ral: I’ll use the Blue Flame. That’s the only way I can beat the Rhinoceros.
Ganette: It won’t absorb it? If you use the Blue Flame, the Dragon’ll have to rest!
No, your Dragon has to put an end to Obscuria first.
Ral: Ah, so I’m aiming for Obscuria huh?
SFX: *stomp stomp*
Ral: Have you seen her!?
Ganette: Only for a moment. She vanished right after.
No, twice! When she destroyed Blatz, I saw her here in the castle!
Ral (thinking): As I thought, Obscuria is the Clear Human.
Using the power of her eyes will show her form.

Page 14
If she’s gone, then I can’t wait for that ‘honey’ on her chest. What a con.
Even if she’s gone, she’ll probably change the whereabouts of her honey stuff. She had no clothes.
Ral: Grad, when Noir returns, I’ll explain it to you.
Grad: Yeah.
Ral (thinking): Even if she’s exists and is not here, I don’t see why Noir would come back.
Ral: Ganette, why isn’t Obscuria using her Friends Form?
Ganette: She’s only here in the form she took over the world with.
She’s always been taking beauty from those women. But if those women were killed, I’m sure Obscuria’d take up the shape of death too.
Ganette: That black thing behind us is pretty fast.

Page 15
Ral: It’s time to sink or swim. We can only try. Let’s split at the castle.
Ganette: You can pull this off? If we separate at a place where Obscuria’s eyes can’t reach us, then…
Ral: No, look at it like this. There’ll be no damage to the humans below by splitting up from the castle.
Ganette: Right, you put an end to Obscuria’s eyes with the Dragon.
Ral: I have an idea.
Ganette: …
Ral: If Obscuria can’t use the Friend Form, then we’re right.
Ganette: Ral, you’re going to…!
Ral: …Mio-sensei doesn’t know about this either.

Page 16
Ral: OK, let’s go at our fastest!
SFX: *flash*
Kafka: Ral, where are you going?
Mio: Ral…
Ral: One more thing.
Ral: Can you run as fast as the Blue Flame?
Ganette: Don’t talk crap!
Ral: When I beat her, I want you to save the women on that side.
Ganette: …got it. I’ll bring out the Tiger when that time comes.

Page 17
Gaira: Ganette, I’m sorry if I get finished here.
Ganette: It’s alright. I’m sure Obscuria doesn’t have time to worry about you.
If you want to return to Noir, stick with me to the end.
Gaira: …
Ganette: OK Ral, do it now!
SFX: *land*
Ral: Do it Grad!!

Page 18
SFX: *rise*
SFX: *lurch*
Mio: It’s Grad. What are thinking Ral?
You’ll lose to Obscuria’s eyes…

Page 19
Obscuria: HAHAHA!
SFX: *rumble*
Obscuria: What’s wrong Dragon? Biyon was right! Is that the level you’re at!?
The ‘Demon of Fury’ is said to be the strongest of all shadows!! You look pitiful, Blue Dragon!
SFX: *charge*

Sidetext: Obscuria and Grad confront!! A tense decisive battle!!

Translation in Progress - Incomplete

Hello all. I haven't exactly finished translating this yet, but I thought I'd post it here to give other translators a proof read, as this manga is not my style (but I'm sure after a few chapters or so, I'll get the hang of it). I just want to make these chapters right, so if a translator or two could please spend a bit of their time proof reading and helping me where the (?)s are, it would be greatly appreciated...I will be updating this tomorrow.

Those weren’t questions.
What was up with the Masayuki one?
I didn’t get it!
Class Rep: What was the meaning of this test? What did these strange questions have to do with anything?
Which of your hands won?
Haganeno: Heh, what was the aim of these problems you say?
Haganeno: No real reason.

The 50…50,000 yen?

You have a stupid sword, dumbass! (?)
You bastard, you just had a sick face just before!!

鋼野：これはオレがあらかじめ全部の用紙にアルファベットをランダムにふっておいたんだ
同じアルファベットは男子２・女子２の計４つしかない。つまり
鋼野：同じアルファベット同士がパーティーを組んで…
君達全員を４人１組に分ける!!
河野：つまり班分けって事か…？
確かオレの用紙には「D」って書いてあったな…つーかまわりくどうっ!!

SFX: *ching*
Haganeno: I had randomly allocated the alphabet on all the papers in advance.
There were only 4 letters with 2 to girls and 2 to the guys.
On other words,
Haganeno: Those with the same letters will go in the same party…
All of you will be divided into 4 groups!!
Kouno (thinking): In other words, we’re being divided?
If I remember correctly, my paper had ‘D’ written on it…Right, _________ (?)
Kouno (thinking): Hmm?
Haganeno: Well then, I’ll start diving the groups.

これか…？嫌違う…これか…？これに運命を感じるぞ！これだ！間違いない！
Kouno: Why’d you cut them all up?
Can’t we have them as they are!?
There’s no real meaning to this test!
Student: I was thinking that as well…
Haganeno: But Jun, you’re randomly grinning, so ________ (?)
SFX: hahaha
Kouno: I’ve noticed!! Is there any point!?
Haganeno: I feel like you’re refusing maliciously (?)
You should be pleased about this…and your name…

Students: I’m B.
I am H.
Hey, we’re both in B!

Kouno (thinking): The class rep’s in G…great!
No one else has pull that out yet! There’s still another 3 of them in the box!

Paper: Masayuki
Kouno (thinking): Why!?
Haganeno: Ah, you’ve finally pull out the Special Card.
Kouno: What is…that…?
Haganeno: Well, there’s 34 people in this class, right? If I have groups of 4 people, then there’ll be 2 left out.
Haganeno: But those two people would have their fighting abilities reduced by half, right?
So to balance things out a bit, someone was to go with Masayuki.
Kouno (thinking): This is torture!
Haganeno: In other words, the pear have to do their best!
Masayuki: How ya doin’?
Kouno (thinking): I’m already dead!!

Huh, how long? I can’t believe we have a ‘hero’ like that walking around town.
Student: I’m happy that I’m not in the class A.
If I really were, I’d be thinking that as well.

河野：見てたのか…
茨城：あーゆーのははたから見てると気持ち悪いから、止めた方がいいわよ
河野：…てゆーか、先生は何で鋼野を尾行してたんすか？
Teacher: I wonder if you’ll understand this?
Kouno: I don’t!
Teacher: It’s Ibaraki!
Kouno: No way! The right side of your face is just wrong!
Kouno: Huh? You’ve been following us all this time too?
Ibaraki: You’re loud. No, I’ve been watching from the start.
Ibaraki: Please keep your voice down if you’re staying.
You want to talk, but you get too rowdy on your own.
Plus, you’ve made too much noise and too many of these monologues.
Kouno: …been watching…?
Ibaraki: You should stop, as I have a bad feeling if you keep on watching him.
Kouno: Saying so, then why are you following Haganeno?

Page 11
茨城：あなたと同じ理由よ
あの男の本性を暴くため
茨城：そして、それを納めたVTRを教育委員会やマスコミに送り
あの男を二度と教壇に立たせないようにする為よ
河野：あ～…そうなんですか…
で、何かわかりました？
茨城：２つの事実がわかったわ
河野：え!?何ですか!?
茨城：まず一つ…あの男は…
バナナが大好物！
河野：そうですね…
茨城：あの男が食べたバナナは実に２１本
河野：もってきたのかよ、それ!!
茨城：これは成人男性が一月に食べる量に匹敵するわ！そう、彼はバナナ好きよ
河野：そんな考察しなくても見てれは充分わかるよ!!
河野：てゆーか、好きな食べ物わかっても意味ないっすよ。せめて、苦手な…
茨城：そう、２つ目は苦手なモノよ
河野：え!?何ですか!?
茨城：あの男の苦手なモノ…それは警察よ！
河野：言うと思ったよ…
Ibaraki: The same reason as you.
Kouno: We’ll expose his true colours!
Ibaraki: And I’ll send a Video Transmission about this to the Board of Education and the media.
For that boy is not going to stand up on any platform twice.
Kouno: Err…so is that it huh…?
Well, is there anything else I should know?
Ibaraki: I know two things.
Kouno: And, they are?
Ibaraki: First of all, that guy…
Loves his bananas.
Kouno: …
Kouno: You got that right…
Ibaraki: Actually, that boy’s eaten a total of 21 bananas.
Kouno: You’ve been carrying them with you!?
Ibaraki: This is unrivalled compared with the average amount an adult male would eat in a month. That’s right, he likes his bananas!
Kouno: Even if you don’t consider that, it’s more than enough just by seeing him eat them!
Kouno: Even if you say that about food he likes, it’s still not enough! At least find something he’s bad with…
Ibaraki: Correct. The second fact answers that.
Kouno: Huh, what’s what!?
Ibaraki: A thing that boy’s weak with…is the…Police!
Kouno (thinking): I thought you’d say that…

Page 12
河野：そうですね…
茨城：もっと広く言うなら、あの男は強い人間がにがてなのよ
河野：え？
茨城：つまり、あの男は強い人間にはへつらい
弱い人間には傲慢な態度を取る。あの男はそうゆう人間なのよ！
河野：それじゃまさに、勇者とは真逆の人間じゃないっすか…
単に警察にやな思い出があったって可能性も…
茨城：まあ、今にわかるわ…
河野：あ！移動した！２２本目!!
茨城：尾行再開よ
茨城：居たわ。さぁ、何か事件起きないかしら
河野：起きないですよ。何言い出すんですか！
河野：そんな都合よく事件なんて起きませんよ
茨城：まぁ、それはそう……ね？
Kouno: I thought so.
Ibaraki: To put it clearly, that boy is weak to people with authority.
Kouno: Huh?
Ibaraki: In other words, that boy flatters people stronger than him.
He takes the pride in his attitude from weak people. Would you call a boy like that a human!?
Kouno: Well then surely, that hero is not human at all, is he?
Basically, it’s possible to get him by making him remembering the police and…
Ibaraki: Ah, you get it now…
Kouno: Ah, he’s moved! That’s the 22nd one!
Ibaraki: Let’s follow him again!
SFX: *creak creak*
Ibaraki: He’s there. Well now, I wonder if something will happen…
Kouno: Of course it won’t. What are you saying?
Kouno: An accident’s not going to happen in these circumstances.
Ibaraki: Well, I wonder about…that?
SFX: *snatch*
SFX: *run*

茨城：ひったくりよ!!
河野：本当に起きた!!
泥棒：ヘヘッ、バーカ！
茨城：待ちなさい！
河野：オレも行きます！
ついか中、何入ってんスか!?(サイフとか)
茨城：いえ、サイフは持ってるわ。布を入れてたわ、木目の布
河野：それあきらめることできませんか!?
河野：つか速いっスアイツ!!あの曲がりは方は一朝一夕で身につくものじゃないっス！
そーだ!!バナナの皮投げれば…
茨城：それもカバンの中に
河野：どこまでもついてねーなひったくり!!
河野：鋼野先生！そいつ止めて―!!
茨城：やめて！あの男の手は借りたくないわ！
Ibaraki: He took it!
Kouno (thinking): Something did happen!
Thief: Hahaha, you idiot!
Ibaraki: Hold it there!
Kouno: I’m coming too!
What was in there?
Small text: A wallet, or…
Ibaraki: No, I’ve got my wallet. It has that cloth too. The wooden one.
Kouno: Can’t you just give that up!?
Kouno: He’s pretty fast! He’s even changed the way he looks in that picture!
I’ve got it! If I throw a banana peel…
Ibaraki: It’s in the bag too!
Kouno: So he’s got that too!?
Kouno: Haganeno-sensei! Stop that man!
SFX: *waves arms*
Ibaraki: Stop it! He won’t throw that thing from his hand!

Kouno: S…Sensei…?

鋼野：バナナごときで、熱くなりました…
河野：何いきなりあやまってんスか!!行けとまでは言わないけど、その格好なら、アンタ余裕でいけるだろ!!
鋼野：買ったばかりの鎧にキズつけたくないんだ…

河野：ムチコ先生が言ってたこと…本当だな、これ…
泥棒：ところで、お前の格好なんだそれ？
鋼野：いえ…ただの勇者です、ハイ
泥棒：あー？勇者？あーあれか
お前も大人なんだから、勇者なんてガキみてーなモンやってんじゃ…
Haganeno: I’m sorry.
Kouno (thinking): He apologized!
Haganeno: I got all heated up because of my bananas.
Kouno: What’s up with him apologizing so suddenly? He hasn’t said something like this before, but he’s buying that man some time if he’s going to looks like that.
Haganeno: I don’t want to scratch the armour I just bought…
Kouno: Why do you have that armour? You should return it already, damnit!
Thief (thinking): Oh? I don’t know what he’s on about, but he’s scared…this is good!
Haganeno: Well, if you’ll excuse me…
Thief: Wait…yeah you!
SFX: *sweat*
Thief: Pick that up.
SFX: *shing*
Thief: Throw it here.
Haganeno: T…this?
Kouno (thinking): He’s scared of a single knife?
Thief: Throw it to me slowly.
Kouno (thinking): What Muchiko sensei said…
Was right…about him.
Thief: By the way, what’s with that look?
Haganeno: Well…I’m just a normal hero…
Thief: Ah? A hero? Y…You?
You’re already an adult and you’re actin’ like a kid by lookin’ like a hero? I don’t believe it…

河野：「勇者」バカにしたりしたら、
めちゃくちゃキレる!!
河野：ってやり過ぎだ―!!
鋼野：ヘェー、こうつひったくりだったのか
Haganeno: Don’t talk crap about heroes.
Kouno (thinking): Huh…?
Kouno (thinking): H…He’s pissed off…?
Ibaraki: This is new.
Sidetext: Our hero also appears on page 319! Don’t forget it!
Ibaraki: Just as I though, his personality…but…
There seems to be exceptions to it…
Kouno (thinking): If someone talks rubbish about ‘heroes’,
He loses the plot!
Kouno: Now you’ve done it!
Haganeno: Heh, thought he was a thief huh?

Page 19
鋼野：じゃあこのバッグはムチコのか！
じゃあ、ほら！
鋼野：おいおい…
鋼野：「ありがとう」はどーした…!?
茨城：言う必要はないわ。ひったくりに一度バッグを渡そうとしたくせに
鋼野：最近の教師は「ありがとう」も言えないのかぁ？

Ibaraki: …
Haganeno: Hey now…
SFX: *grab*
Sidetext: If you upset a Hero…
Haganeno: How about ‘Thanks’!?
Ibaraki: I don’t need to say that. You almost gave the bag to the thief once anyway…
Haganeno: So you won’t even say ‘Thanks’ to a new teacher huh?
Haganeno (thinking): I thought she’d do it.
Haganeno: Huh? You idiot…! It’s the police!!
SFX: *run*
Police: You liar! Coward!
Haganeno: You little @#$&!!
Police: Is this the thief?
Haganeno: Huh?
Police: Thanks for your cooperation.
Ibaraki: It’s ok.
SFX: *Grab*
Haganeno: It wasn’t me! I’m not the…
Police: We’ll continue this at the office.
Haganeno: Wait…no!!

Long chapter, but at least it's out a day earlier! Enjoy!
PS. Working on Our Hero Studies too at the moment...keep tuned...

Blue Dragon: Chapter 27

Page 1
Men: *chomp chew*
Men: It’s been ages since I’ve eaten stuff like this!
The food before was very different.
This is great!
Fighting makes you hungry! Let’s eat!
Men: This stuff’s awesome!

Sidetext: Despite the joy and the cheers from the men, Mio looks ahead to…!?

Page 2
SFX: *Buhaha* *Hahaha*

Sidetext: …The deep sleeper who is sound in his world of happiness and peace.

Tale 27 – Awake

Page 3
Kafka: Mio, How’s Ral?
Mio: He’s fine.
Mio: His recovery’s amazing despite the fact that he took so much damage from the Phoenix’s attacks.
Well, it’s actually Grad’s healing abilities.
Mio: He fought pretty well, considering how injured he was.
Suns: Whoa! Ral’s obviously…
Suns: Sis, you should thank him for helping you. Say something quickly.
Mio: We’re really thankful Suns.
Suns: Right.
Suns’ Sister: Thank you very much.
Suns’ Sister: You fought with all you had for our freedom. You even went as far as saving Suns’ life…
Everyone’s really happy.

Page 4
Kafka: It seems everyone wants to say their thanks, but…Mio, have you seen Ganette at all?
Mio: No…come think of it, he…
Voice: Perhaps…
Kafka: Ganette!
Ganette: Damn, you’ve seen us.
Mio: We’re not going on together Ganette?
But you helped us out in the fight with your powers!

Page 5
Ganette: I promised ya that I’d save these people.
Let the shadows stuck with those guys be my parting gift. They should use it to protect them women.
Senol: That’s a waste though!
Ganette: Ah, a waste you say?
Senol: Well, at least let Meesh have all the stronger shadows!
Lela: Ganette-sama, you should think about Senol’s idea.
Ganette: Nope.
Senol: Why!?
Ganette: That’s because our shadows are better.
Senol: Huh!?
Lela: ‘Better’? Your logic’s rash…
Senol: Give them back!
Ganette: Senol, Lela, guys don’t understand these things.
Ganette: Adios,
Ral and everyone.
SFX: *open*

Page 6
Ral: Ganette!
SFX: *rise*
Mio: !
SFX: *climb climb*
Mio: What on ea–!?
SFX: *jump jump*
SFX: *stop*

Page 7
Ral: Adios Ganette!
Ganette (thinking): Later Ral.
Ganette: Adios!
Kafka: He’s taking our path…That didn’t seem like Ganette, did it?
Ral’s the same too. The Friends Form can’t stop anyone.
Ral (thinking): Just you wait. We’ll catch up to you in no time.

Page 8
Mio: Suns!
I thought you didn’t like Ganette.
Aya: Me too.
Suns: I-I want to go too!
SFX: *wobble*
Suns: Please take me along!
To Obscuria!
Kafka: What are you saying? Did you forget that you’re with your sister now? Don’t you want to be with her now?
You’ve completed your task, right?
Suns: I didn’t like Ganette at the start even though he wanted to save my Sister.
But, my feelings are different now. I want to fight along with everyone.
Kafka: Suns…
Voice: I know Suns.

Page 9
Ral: I’m the same.
Kafka: Ral…
Ral: When I was brought out from the darkness, I didn’t know why I should fight.
I was in darkness for 15 years. It was far from fighting. In fact, I didn’t even know anything about this world.
To be rewarded, I overcame this shadow while my heart was sealed in darkness. I’ve only came to hate Obscuria.
Ral: Hate. That was the only thing in my world.
Ral: But that’s different now.
Ral: I can fight with other people. This is the world as I know now.

Page 10
Ral: That’s the world I want to protect.
Till now, I’ve only seen and met people who fight to protect.
I will bring back the World of Light!!

Page 11
Mio: Ral…
Mio (thinking): When did you…
Ral: Plus I’ve been waiting for breasts.
Mio: Ra…
Suns’ Sister: Great! I’ll let you go Suns!
SFX: *smack*
Mio: Eh!?
Suns’ Sister: Haha!
Suns: Sis!?
Kafka: She’s your sister!? Even though you’ve just met, it’s ok with you!?
Suns’ Sister: Suns, if you don’t leave now, you might regret it forever.
Suns: …
Suns’ Sister: That’s why I want you to go without sitting down or doing nothing.

Page 12
Suns’ Sister: Please take him for me. He’s got the guts. If he doesn’t pull his weight, you can throw him away as it won’t matter.
SFX: *smack*
SFX: *cough*
Suns’ Sister: Well, please take him with you.
SFX: *umm*
Kafka: Now Suns is the one ‘sitting down’.
Aya: Aha.
Suns’ Sister: If you’re going to be a waste, your sister will be the one to come rescue you next time.
Kafka: W…Your sister…
Suns: I won’t go to waste!
Mio: Everyone…
Mio: There’s something I’d like to say…
Ral: What? You seem a bit strange Mio-sensei.
Mio: I want to have a shadow as well.

Page 13
Lady: What? Noagia has fallen…?
Shadows: Oooh, where did it fall?
Well…
Lady: The Immortal shadow, the Red Phoenix lost, and is nowhere to be found.
Shadow: But, what does this mean for me?
Please beat him up!
Scold him!
Shadow: Hah, hah
Lady: You idiot!
Shadow: Aah, I’m not over there!
SFX: *neigh*
Lady: Hmph…

Page 14
Lady: At most, the feather of the bird had fear. I’m disappointed in Yaya.
I will bring her back.
Shadow: Yeah, Yaya-chan.
Lady: A monster appetite…
Shadows: Huh?
Lady: I’ve lost interest in this play.
Shadows: Lost interest! Lost interest!
That’s good! That’s good!
Well, please give us something new.
Lady: I will ambush them myself.
SFX: *eyes glow*
Lady: I’m one of the Five Royal Knights. You heard me.
SFX: *jolt*
Lady: I don’t need to trouble them with my own hands.
I only have to cross them with the humans beneath this castle.

Page 15
Suns: So you really want to have a shadow Mio?
Mio: Yep.
Suns: You haven’t been able to fight. But none of us would lose since you know a lot about the Shadows.
Mio: That’s why I want a shadow.
Suns: Eh?
Mio: My knowledge about the Shadows is defeinately useful. That’s why I want one to protect me and make me stronger.
Everyone else can attack and if I get one, then I don’t need to drag myself around neither.
Ral: You’ve thought about this, haven’t you Mio-sensei?
Kafka: You can’t stand around and wait like Ganette, so you thought it would be easier to have a shadow with you.
Kafka: Everyone, please listen.

Page 16
Kafka: So there is nobody with shadows who wants to go and to go to beat Obscuria with us?
Don’t the few of those with ones care at all?
Men: !
Obscuria…
Men: What’s he saying…
I’m not sure if I want to go..
Me too…
Kafka: You just got your freedom.
Ah, so you think it’s best staying here?
Suns: What? Even though they helped out, it’s still selfish
Suns’ Sister: Suns!
Kafka: Well then, please try to listen to the shadows inside you.
Ral: Kafka,
SFX: *step*
Ral: Even if there were shadows who want to go, the human hosts would be too scared. Don’t say anymore.
I thought about yesterday’s battle and Mio-sensei told us many things about the shadows we fought.
Kafka: You’re right, if these people have no willpower, the shadows will transfer.

Page 17
SFX: *whoosh*
Ral: Riding on the Dual Fosh Mons*? It’s exactly like you.
Mio: What do you mean?
Ral: It has glasses just like you.
They’re not glasses!
Ral: But we can use it.
By changing with Grad, it can fly as well.
Suns: It seems to have fighting abilities too.
Ral: I’m happy for you Mio-sensei.
Ral: You don’t look pleased!
Suns: So did you regret having a shadow!
Mio: You’re wrong!
*Name unclear – can’t read the RAW katakana – need a clearer version of this page

Page 18
Mio: Now that I think about it, Ral told me there were another two shadows that existed in the Friends Form.
If I remember correctly…The Black Rhinoceros and the Clear Human…
Mio: The Clear Human. I know it can take away the form of the host life.
Suns: Take away?
No way, that’s not possible…
Mio: The Black Rhinoceros, is said to have a horn as the name suggests. It’s black body is a body of darkness and it’s skin takes up living things.
Mio: It doesn’t just take up just living things, but everything else too. It’s said that it’s form grows quickly.
Ral: No way! So it could even take up the Blue Flame?
Mio: No. Actually, they say that Blue Flame is the only way to beat it.
Ral: So if I touch it I’ll be eaten?
Mio: That’s right.

Page 19
Ral: …
Kafka: The Red Phoenix is the same. Enemies couldn’t surround it.
Suns: It sounds tough.
Aya: Yeah.
Ral: Mio-sensei, there’s only one shadow that’s a living thing in the Friend Form, right?
Mio: That’s right.
Mio: And there’s only one thing I know about Obscuria.
She can kill shadows by just looking at them.
Kafka: Kill!? By just looking!?

Sidetext: A frightful power rises to the surface!! Is it really an enemy!? Or an ally!?

Ral (thinking): Can kill…huh?

Translation: Blue Dragon: Ral Ω Grado 26

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 18:17:53 +0000

Yay, another installment of Blue Dragon for my fellow readers! I've definitely got the gist of this manga now (I think). Let me know how I'm doing! Enjoy!

Blue Dragon: Chapter 26

Page 1
Yaya: Ahaha, you will be the ones to die.

Tale 26 – Strength

Sidetext: A puppet of the girl

Ral: When we cut the Phoenix up, that girl gained consciousness!
She said ‘help me’.
Mio: Ah, so she was being controlled by the Phoenix.

Page 2
Ganette: The Phoenix is in a normal human huh? Her patterns have been a bit off…I’m glad we didn’t kill her with your flames.
Ral: Hehe, if that’s the case…
Ral: I will definitely save this girl!
Ganette: !
Ral: As Yaya-chan is super cute!
Ganette: You…save her…?
Ral: Grad.
Grad: I know.
Mio (thinking): If Grad doesn’t rest now, surely…
Ganette (thinking): Ral will lose himself to the Dragon. Ral, what are you thinking?

Page 3
Yaya: Hahaha, you can’t use the Dragon. Cory, go 10 times as harder this time.
Ral: Ganette, can you cut the Phoenix up one more time?
Ganette: Well, no matter how much I try, it’ll revive straight away.
Ral: Right then, I’ll go to their side without taking the Dragon. I won’t be protected from that attack though.
Ganette: It can’t be helped I guess!
Ganette (thinking): I see…

Page 4
Ganette (thinking): If he doesn’t have the dragon with him, he can obviously move closer to the enemy like this.
But, what do you intend to go when you get close?
Mio: Kyah!
Kafka: Mio-dono!
Mio: Kafka…
Mio: Ral…!
Ganette: The Phoenix sure isn’t an idiot.

Page 5
Ganette: It’s in the sky!
Ral: Ganette, this time take my shadow a–
Ganette: You’re not trying to…!? I’ve only managed to get here just now you can’t ride this tiger.
Ral: Ooourrgh!

Page 6
Ral: Great, get back now.
Ganette: Hey!
Mio: Huh? That’s…
Ganette: What now Ral!?
Ral: If I bind Yaya, the Phoenix won’t return anymore, right?

Page 7
Ganette: You’re not serious are you? You went ahead with that plan…
Mio: He’s right Ral. Grad’s only wrapped himself around her. It’s not dark enough in there. You may have cut up the Phoenix outside the darkness, but that won’t be enough!
Ral: Is that so? I guess…
Ganette: Ral, she’s coming out!
Ral: Grad, it’s not working. Get back to me.
Ral: It’s started. As I thought, the pieces are reforming there…it’s regenerating!

Page 8
Ral: Then I’ll just…
Ral: STOP IT FROM GOING BACK!
Ganette: Wh-
Ral: I…won’t let it reform!
Mio: Ral! That idea…
Ganette: That strategy aint too bad. But…
Mio: Ral, I’ll also…

Page 9
Mio: Save this child!
Ral: Oy!
Ral: What are you doing Mio-sensei!?
Mio: She’s the same as you!
Mio: I want to save this world of light as you’re doing so too! For the humans!

Page 10
Kafka: Rizu, please protect me.
People without shadows, help me out!
We have to stop the Phoenix’s regeneration!!
Kafka: Fuh.
Men: Ooorgh!
Ral: Kafka, will your side be OK?
Kafka: Yeah. The Phoenix has killed a considerable number of shadows at the start. We were in the win. Also, those shadows wouldn’t kill those women.
Ral: Haha, that’s right!

Page 11
Men: We will save these women here with our strength!
Men: Yeah!
Phoenix: The humans are…
Phoenix: From the shadow…
Yaya: Uwargh….it’s becoming…stable…I can’t stop it!
Senol: Ganette-sama!
Ganette: Yeah, I know!

Page 12
Men: Crap! The shape of the bird’s changing!
Men: Has it regenerated again?
Men: At this rate, it will…
Men: Damn, it’s a monster!

Page 13
Ganette: This time, I’ll lend the tiger my powers!
LET’S GO!
Men: Yeah!
Men: Anyone holding onto that thing will be eaten!
Men: It’s sticking to our body!
Men: I can’t take my hand off!
Men: Whoever’s holding onto that shadow will be eaten!
Men: It’s immortal flesh. It’s bad for us!
Ral: Mio-sensei, help those guys out later!
Mio: No! Even I…

Page 14
Mio: Fighting with shadows has let us fight!
Mio: Don’t lose everyone! If we work together, the shadows won’t stand a chance!
Men: That’s right, do you best!
Men: We won’t lose!
Ral: What!?
Men: Ugh!
Men: Gah!

Page 15
Yaya: H-Help me!
Ganette: The Phoenix is back! Senol, seal that kid up in the darkness now!
Senol: Eh!? Don’t say something like that so suddenly…
Ral: The dark won’t help! This poor girl…
Ganette: You idiot Ral! What are you doing at a time like this? Now is the only time we can…
Ral: The Phoenix’s head still hasn’t returned.
If it’s head is in this girl, it’ll be alright.
Ral: Right, Mio-sensei?
Mio: Yeah, the head’s the part that thinks. Without it, it can’t sense minds or bodies.

Page 16
Phoenix: Humans.
Men: The Phoenix spoke!?
Phoenix: Humans. Wisdom. Power. Courage. I lost to those.
Phoenix: I was sealed inside this child because of Bira. But I won't go back to Bira's ways anymore.
Men: It said it lost.
Men: Aah.
Ral: Can you believe it Mio-sensei…?
Mio: I don’t know…

Page 17
Phoenix: I will go back into this girl. When I do that, you will use your powers to beat the shadows here and to help these women.
Shadows: No way! The Phoenix is mean!
Shadows: You traitor!
Ral: The Phoenix wants to help out!
Ganette: If it betrays us, this blade will become sharp again.
Ral: Great, it’s going back in Yaya!

Page 18
Men: We did it! We beat the shadows!
Men: We’ve saved the women!
Men: The humans have won!
Suns’ Sister: Suns!
Suns: Sis!
Ganette (thinking): Ral lost Grad and fought with his own body to show his human strength. And with human strength, the Phoenix…

Page 19
Ral: The Phoenix!
Phoenix: I’ll be watching to see whether humans or Bira wins.
Ral! Can’t we fight together?
Kafka: Seems you couldn’t keep your promise about helping that girl.
Ral: She was sooo cute though!
Ganette: Seems like we’ve become allies by winning. We’re more fortunate now.
Ral: That right.

Sidetext: The victory gained by the humans…!!

Why is Blue Dragon one of the last? =( Anyway, here it is! Might be a bit later next week as I have to sleep early (3AM now) for an exam the next day, so I apologise in advance if it is released Sunday...nonetheless a new change!

*Grado is officially read as Grad! (According to the new volume release)

Enjoy!

Blue Dragon: Chapter 25

Page 1
Ral: Since we are humans with the Friend Form…
Ral: It’s our fate to fight. Shadows. Humans. Till one of us disappears from this land, it is our destiny to kill one another.
Ganette: In order for the Dragon and Tiger to bring the world back to what it was…we too must to use their powers to defeat the Shadows.

Sidetext: Reciting their saddened destiny…

Ganette: We give and take.

Tale 25 – Scream

Page 2
Ganette: If you say it’s our destiny to fight, then what about her? Why Obscuria? Why do humans try to kill one another?
Ganette: I’ve though about this as well. ‘If we fight each other, we can become friends with Obscuria’. They were the kid’s words.
Ral: When Mio-sensei cried for us to stop, she really did stop. This normally wouldn’t happen.
Ganette: Who decided? The Phoenix…or the kid?

Page 3
Ral: Mio-sensei, tell me two things.
Mio: ?
Ral: Is the Phoenix smart?
Mio: It knows many things.
Ganette: It’s good to see you’re thinking of something Ral.
Ral: One more thing Mio-sensei. What would become of the Phoenix if that girl died?
Mio: She’s immortal!
Mio: But she did intentionally show us the Phoenix was immortal when we cut its neck off. If we were to attack Yaya again, she’d most likely defend with her feathers.

Page 4
Mio: The Phoenix wouldn’t die even if she did, but it probably couldn’t do anything until it reincarnated itself.
It would definitely enter another living thing.
Ganette: Ral…
Ganette: It doesn’t matter if that kid can die or not. It’d be better if the girl would only live anyway.
Ral: Well, do you think we can do it?
Ganette: The Phoenix can’t die. It’s gonna be tough…
Ral: We can only do it if we try.
Ganette: Yeah!
Mio: Ral!

Page 5
Ral: I don’t know what kind of hands she has, but we’ll kill her on our next go. The Phoenix has stopped us getting any closer through any openings by trying to kill us.
I intend to end this by killing the human.
If I guard with my Dragon, I should be right. If you use your tiger, you can run away quickly. Even if you move offensively, you’re still fast.
Ganette: Well, that’s how it goes. Leave it to me. If I’m not a unrivalled swordsman, I aint gonna look good.

Page 6
Ral: Hey, what are you doing? You didn’t wanna die, did you?
Yaya: Well, die then.
Ganette: So we’re gonna ‘die then’ huh?
Ganette (thinking): Even so, she’s expressionless.
Ganette: Let’s go Gaira!
Gaira: Got it!
Ral: Grad, don’t get me cut even if I take a bit of damage.
Grad: I can’t promise that.
Ral: If you stop just for a bit, I’ll be killed for sure.
Grad: That wouldn’t be good. I’ll try my best.

Page 7
Ganette: Plus vite
*Kanji = Fastest
*French = More quickly

Page 8
Ral: Are you OK Grad?

Page 9
Grad: I’m out of control!
Humans: Wah! Gyah!
Ganette: Tardes.

Page 10
Ganette: Rooourrgh!

Page 11
Grado: Ral! Cut what you can!
Ral: What? I didn’t hear that…

Page 12
Ral: Or did I!?
Grad: Kill the Phoenix with your wings!
Ral: Quit it. Even if kill it, it won’t die. Besides, before the Phoenix regenerates, I’ll go to her.
Ganette: What are you doing Ral!?
Yaya: Ah. Ah.

Page 13
Lady: What’s this? You’re still being a baby?
Yaya: Hah. Hah.
Shadow: Ah, if you impress me, you can eat me.
Shadow: You idiot! Pedo!
Shadow: But she’s so cute! If Bira-sama’s weren’t here, I’ll take her. I want her.

Page 14
Lady: But you have such a loving face. Your might have a good future.
Lady: After you’ve ripened, I’m taking you myself.
Shadows: Ooh, after she’s ripened! That’s great!
Lady: I’ll raise you like the other Woman in Noagia.
Lady: The Phoenix is in this kid.

Page 15
Shadows: Bira’s Jewel! She has it! The Phoenix is in Bira’s Jewel!
Lady: You heard me Phoenix.
The humans and shadows you put into her body made me angry. So that’s why I sealed you.
I will ripen this child until she humiliates herself. I’ll set her free then.
Lady: How about this time, I bring the shadow and the girl together with this star?
Shadows: Oooh.
Shadows: The shadow’s star, Bira-sama’s star. Bira-sama’s star.
Shadows: This star is Bira-sama’s!

Page 16
Lady: If the men of Noagia come to take my women, I’ll just kill them.
When I enter this child and become a proper woman, I’ll set her free.
Lady: Obscuria will use her.
Shadows: Wow!
Lady: She’ll plant her and change her at will. This kid will be reincarnated into a form of darkness.
Shadows: Wow!
Shadows: It’s coming. The Phoenix is coming!
SFX: *Thump…., Thump…*

Page 17
Ral: T-This kid’s crying…
Mio: Huh?
Mio (thinking): Crying…?
Ganette: !?
Yaya: Help me! I don’t wanna go to Bira!

Page 18
Ral: The Phoenix was controlling her!
She’s a normal human! A normal child!
Ganette: Just as I thought. The shadow obviously burdened her thoughts.
Mio: That’s why she was expressionless…the Phoenix took away her thoughts and words in the Friend Form.
Ganette: !!

Page 19
Mio: Regeneration has started!
Ral: Damn it.
Mio (thinking): To make her say that to Ral, I guess it was their destiny to fight. A human…
Yaya: You are the ones who will die.

Sidetext: She is brainwashed again…

Hey all, sorry about the delay. I was actually overstate for a day (surfing and other things). Anyway, enjoy!

Blue Dragon: Chapter 24

Page 1
Ganette: She’s better than I thought.

Sidetext: The unstoppable Phoenix of Darkess!! The search for the beginning of capture!

Yaya: Ahaha, you’re weak. The dragon’s side is already wounded.
Ral: I’m not doing too well against her. There’s no way I can beat Obscuria.
Ral: Grado!

Page 2

Sidetext: The blaze of the dragon surges!!

Ganette: Fire blast!?

Tale 24 – Fate

Yaya: Aha.

Page 3
Ganette: Shit! Dodge them Ral!
Ganette (thinking): He’s not moving very well.

Page 4
Ral: Grado was brought back from the wind pressure…flame’s no good. Not only is she immortal…but her power’s amazing.
SFX: *huff, huff*
Mio: Ral…
Ganette: What are you spacing out for? Dodge them!!
Mio: Ral!

Page 5
Ral: Guh, I can’t even get away from you on my feet.
Yaya: Even if I’m not serious, I can win. This is a bit dull.
Yaya: Corey! Finish this off by killing the humans on the dragon’s side!
Ganette: She’s coming Ral.

Page 6
Ral: Ugh!
Grado: Are you OK Ral?
Ral: Not really…can you see?
Grado: No.
Ral: I’m only dodging them by a bit.
Grado: No, they’re not missing. They’re hitting you.
Ral: I’m exhausted here. How many more shadows can she bring out while fighting?
Kafka: Mio-dono, what’s Papaymon’s weakness?
Mio: It’s sense of touch!

Page 7
Mio (thinking): They were all killed each other…the shadows and humans…the lives they had…for what reason are they…
Ral: You’re really strong you know. Even if I fly with these few feathers, I’ll end up getting cut up. Body regeneration…immortality…you’re amazing.
Ral: Hahaha! Damn it!
Mio (thinking): What reason…why…?

Page 8
Gaira: Ganette.
Gaira: You’re not running away?
Gaira: Why won’t you use my power?
Ganette: Think about it. How many times have I won perfectly without using you? I musn’t use all of your power. Don’t get witty about it.
Gaira: I’m not. You should know that I’ll make my judgement when you start to lose.
Ganette: …Yeah…

Page 9
People: A shadow!
People: Uwaah! Save us!
Ganette: Huooorgh!

Page 10
Ganette: Adios…dead shadows.
People: You are…
People: Ganette-sama? The unmatched swordsman, Ganette-sama!
People: Wow.
People: Oooh.
People: Thank you very much!

Page 11
Person: As expected from Ganette. This is the first time I’ve been able to put my sword so close to you.
Ganette: Who…are you?
Ganette: The White Tiger!?
Ganette: Impossible…
Person: That is so.
Person: I came as I heard that the rumours about you were true. This tiger seeks strength. It wants to change hosts from me to you.

Page 12
Ganette: I’m happy to hear that the Tiger acknowledges me, but it sounds like you don’t want to be the host.
Person: It’s a mutual thing. No person can reject the Tiger’s will. You’ll the host. I’ll even be…
Person: Darken the room.
Ganette: Are you dead now?

Page 13
Ganette: Adios.
Gaira: Ganette, my objective is to kill Obscuria. I’ll bring back Noir*. For that reason, I need more stronger humans as hosts. If I host new people, I can devour those before them. I can obtain their skills and memories.
Ganette: I must remain the strongest person until I kill Obscuria or I’ll be eaten?
Gaira: That’s right.
*Noir – The World of Darkness

Sidetext: Since then…

Ganette (thinking): If I can’t win, Gaira will decide to…
Ganette (thinking): He’ll definitely eat me.

Page 14
Ganette (thinking): How do I defeat her?
Yaya: Persistent.
Ral: You won’t even listen to me. Is it because I’m weak?
Grado: No, I’ve lost to the wind pressure.
Ral: There’s no way we can do this head on.

Page 16
Ganette: Haha, you didn’t…
Ral: I’m sorry Ganette.
Ganette: We can’t take her head on. We have to think of our next move!
Ral: Our next move?
Ganette: Not yet.
Ral: Well, try as much as you want. It’d be better to watch the enemy.
Ganette: Whatever we do, we’ll end up not being unable to move.
Ral: Haha, you c–
Ganette: Oy!
Yaya: Ahaha. They can’t move anymore. Weak, weak.

Page 17
Yaya: Well, if I let them die, it’ll be my win.
Yaya: I am immortal.
Yaya: Die.
Ganette: Kuh.
Senol: No way, Ganette-sama’s opponent is…! No way, it’s a lie, Lela!
Lela: You’re wrong Senol. This time…
Mio (thinking): Rall will be killed.
Mio: St–

Page 18
Mio: STOP IT! Why does everyone have to kill one another? Why…
Mio: Humans and shadows just both want peace. Even if we could coexist, there must be a way…
Mio: Why…?
Ganette: An ordinary human like you should shut up.

Page 19
Ganette: Humans and shadows cannot exist together. Shadows are from Noir. Humans have had this place taken away from them. Ral and even I have this burden…
Ganette: If we want to fight, then we will.
Ganette: This is…
Ral: I see.
Ganette: We don’t speak about this, but we know about it. We are humans that can hold special shadows in the Friend Form.
Ral: It’s our fate to fight. Shadows, Humans. Until one of us disappears from this land, it’s our fate to kill each other.

Sun, 27 May 2007 17:10:12 +0000

After 6 translations of Blue Dragon, I'm starting to get a grip of things now. The reason I have a lot of trouble with this manga is because there is no punctuation (except at the end of speech *some* bubbles). Imagine reading something like that in English! =P My fave chapter yet, enjoy!

Blue Dragon: Chapter 23

Page 1
Yaya: You’re not coming any closer till you decide to be my best friend.

Sidetext: The emotionless girl takes away a precious life!

Others: Suns!

Tale 23 – Immortal

Mio: Y-You’re nothing like a human!
Ral (thinking): …nothing like a human…

Page 2
Ral (thinking): I’m wouldn’t be a normal human even if Grado returned to the world of darkness…not a human huh?
Kafka: Suns!
Ganette: Don’t move. She won’t hesitate to kill any of us. If you get close, she’ll do it.
Kafka: But–
Mio: Suns!
Ral (thinking): …No!

Page 3
Ral: I am a human…
Mio: Ral!?
Ral: Because I’m a human, I want to bring back…the world of these people, their lives!
Mio: Don’t move so carelessly close! This enemy is…
Ral: Mio-sensei, please tell me something about my opponent
Mio: The Red Phoenix…

Page 4
Mio: Is an immortal shadow!
Ral (thinking): An immortal shadow…
Mio: Shadows in the world of darkness are immortal…

Page 5
Mio: But if you kill revived shadows the world of light, they die. Even shadows within living thing would die.
The Red Phoenix is an exception. It’s the only shadow that will not die even in the world of light…
Mio: It can even continuously bring out firsts without having to rest.
Kafka: An immortal shadow that can continuously bring out…
Aya: So scary
Ral: If that’s true, then she’s an incredible opponent. But, can I kill the human part of the shadow?
Mio: She probably wouldn’t die.
Kakfa: Wouldn’t die!?
Ral (thinking): No way…

Page 6
Ral: So if I kill her or the shadow, they won’t die. If that’s the case…How do I win against such an opponent?
Suns’ sister: Suns!
Kafka: You won’t be able to get any closer to Suns from here.
Kafka: Ral, don’t go!
Ral: Aah, but I have to save Suns!

Page 7
Yaya: Will you be my friend?
Ral: I wouldn’t if I died!
Yaya: Well, die then!
Kafka & Mio: Aaah!

Page 8
Ral: I took up the dragon’s skin and got only got cut this much? This is really something.
Kafka & Mio: …Friend Form!
Ganette (thinking): He…his body…
Yaya: What? That body’s ugly…Did you throw away your human side?
Mio: …
Ral: I didn’t throw away anything…

Page 9
Ral: While I was locked away in darkness for 15 years, I raised myself. Mio-sensei and Suns taught me about…the heart.
I’m a human who has a heart. Unlike you who has thrown away yours.
Others: Suns!
Mio: No way…
Kakfa: He is…already…
Suns’ sister: Suns! Suns!

Page 10
Yaya: Ahahaha! Aha! Fuhuhuhuhahaha!
Kakfa: What’s so funny!?
Yaya: You want me to help that kid?
Yaya: The Phoenix’s blood can heal any kind of disease or injury. If he still has the energy to drink.
Yaya: What will you do?
Mio (thinking): It’s true, that blood will…

Page 11
Mio: Suns! I’m so glad
Aya: Yay!
Ral: For someone who seemed to be dead…brought back by immortality. What a shadow.
Suns: W-What’s should I do? That’s right, I finally saw my sister’s face…
Mio: It’s alright Suns. You can move around a bit.
Suns’ sister: Suns…
*Note: It seems Mio got some of the blood…not sure how though…

Page 12
Kafka: Hey you. You tried to kill us earlier. Why did you help us?
Yaya: Ahaha. Don’t you get it? It’s how the human heart works!
Yaya: No reason. I only wanted to show my strength. It’s incredible isn’t it, immortal. Be grateful…

Page 13
Ral: Let’s do this Grado!
Yaya: Are you an idiot!? You still don’t understand? I am immortal.
Ral: You will die! I’ll just half kill you then!
Ganette: Ral! I’m going along with that plan.
Lela & Senol: Ganette-sama!

Page 14
Ral (thinking): So Ganette’s serious too.
Ganette: Friend Form!
Mio: Ganette is perhaps the fatest shadow on land…

Page 15
Kakfa: Suns, Aya! We’re gonna help Ral and Ganette. Together with their powers, we’ll save those women!
Suns: Yes!
Aya: OK.
Kakfa: Mio! There’s a lot of shadows as our openents. Tell us their weak points.
Mio: Sure!
Kafka: Go to shadows in front of me! Rizu will take out their weapons!
Guys: Got it!
Shadows: Ouh!? I’m up for this! Our numbers are greater than yours! Our opponents are humans!

Page 16
Guys: Hyooorgh!
Shadows: Gyah!
Shadows: Aaargh!

Page 17
Yaya: You can do it now Corey.

Page 18 + 19
Ganette: Don’t hesistate Ral!
Ral: Shut up. That’s my line Ganette!
SFX: *Slice*
Yaya: That’s why I said I’m immortal.

Page 4
Ishida: Sprenger. It uses the silver tubes and Seele Schneider to destroy an area of confinement that one creates.
Ishida: Seele Schneider scatters spirit particles. The pommel has the function of gathering spirit particles when I fight enemies. It consumes the particles and temporarily recovers as a sword.
Ishida: Using the particles, it draws the Quincy Sign of battle on the ground.
Ishida: The concentrated particles in the silver tubes fall as liquid. This results in a large explosion within the sign.

Page 5
Ishida: It’s powerful, which is why this technique requires time. I couldn’t have used it if it was 1-on-1 to start with.
Ishida: You had faith in me. I couldn’t have done it with you.
Renji: …Ha…even if I waited, I couldn’t have done anything.

Fracion: Y-Yes!!
Szayelapporo: What’s wrong? What are you surprised about? Didn’t I tell you? The Fracion of the Octava Espada are a bit special.
Szayelapporo: They are a method of recovery. If I eat them when I’m injured, my wounds will heal. I made them for that very reason.

Ishida: You monster.
Szayelapporo: Genius. Was that what you were meant to say?
Ishida: Wait! Where are you going?
Szayelapporo: Where am I going?

Page 13
Szayelapporo: I’m going to get changed. Wouldn’t you be embarassed to fight with a ragged appearance like this?
Ishida: Don’t screw with us.
Szayelapporo: Hey now…think carefully. Isn’t it your fault I have to change my clothes since you guys tore it up?
Szayelapporo: Shut up and wait. You should use your puny brains to think of your next move.

Blue Dragon: Chapter 22

Page 1
Obscuria: Is that so? So it worked out well?

Sidetext: A strategy thought over? The lady’s evil laugh…!

Biyon: Yes, the Dragon’s group either don’t know what they’re doing or they’re idiots. They tried to interfere with us, but the plan is going as we wanted.
Shadows: Incredible Biyon-sama. Just as you planned? I’ll be promoted too.
Obscuria: They thought they could pass by without us knowing? They did well.
Biyon: The Dragon and Tiger think they can finish this together.
Obscuria: Hahahahaha!
Shadows: …Ha ha ha..

Page 2
Ganette: Listen up! It’s not going to be easy with you men in rescuing the women. Prepare yourselves!

Tale 22 – Doll

Kafka: To be able to make the men ride on their shadows up to now is quite something Ganette.
Mio: Suns, how old is your sister?
Suns: 15
Mio: Eh? That’s the same as Ral. Is she a kind person?
Suns: Yeah. She’s still kind even though we fight a lot.
Mio: Well, no matter what, we’ll get your sister back with all our powers.
Suns: Hang in there sis.

Page 3
Senol: Ganette-sama, there’s something on my mind.
Ganette: Yeah, I know.
Ganette: It’s better if you don’t mention it. If you say worrying things, the men might hesistate.
Ganette (thinking): The men are on their way to help. And with Dragon and Tigher as shadows, it looks like there’s a lot of us. Even though we look flashy with the men helping…
Ganette (thinking): …there’s still more troubling shadows out there yet to attack us.
Ganette (thinking): Perhaps our movements are being read. They could be waiting for us at the girl’s end.

Page 4
Kakfa: Have you noticed Ral?
Ral: Hmmm?
Kafka: We haven’t been running into anymore annoying shadows. Don’t you think this is weird?
Mio: Now that you mention it…
Ral: Yeah, might be a trap.
Mio: A trap!?
Ral: It was easy to save the men at their camp. You’d think the same for the girl’s camp too. For example, if we tried to go to them first, they would all probably be eaten as second and third meals…
Suns: Eeeeh!
Ral: It’s only an example!
Suns: There’s no way it is!
Ral: It’s OK. You’re sister is definitely alive and we’ll save her for sure.

Page 5
Ganette: Ral, we’re just about there. We should check out the area from here.
Ral: Aya, use Kurukuru.
Aya: Kurukuru! Go!
Mio: Be careful Aya.
Aya: Got it.

Page 6
Shadows: Women. Women
Shadows: We wanna see em!
Shadows: Show em to us!
Shadows: Give em to us!
Shadows: No fair.
Aya: There’s shadows everywhere. They’re calling out for the women. There are some big ones.
Ganette: …? It hasn’t changed from when I came here before.
Suns: We have the numbers this time! Let’s all go in! I’ll get my sister back!
Ganette: Don’t be rash, you nosy brat.
Ganette: Since I have have fighting experience, I’ll be able to see their reactions. Don’t move for my sake.
Lela: You’re going alone Ganette-sama?
Suns: Ordering us again?
Mio: Suns…

Ganette: Tardes!
Suns: Tardes?
Mio: ‘Hello’

Shadows: A shadow?
Shadows: The White Tiger!

Shadows: Great
Shadows: We’ll kill you – you’ve really come.
Shadows: He’s the real thing!

Shadows: We’ll protect the women. The women!
Shadows: Finish him now.

Shadow: I’ll marry her!

Shadows: Gyah!
Shadows: Guhuh!
Yaya: My Friend*, Red Phoenix!!
Suns: That’s…
Kafka: What was that just now…? She only swung her arm lightly…
Ral: But that was incredible. She’s hot!
*Kanji of Friend = unique relationship

Page 11
Ganette: Tardes
Ganette (thinking): Hmph, it would have been pretty dangerous if I had of been any closer. She didn’t even jump. I’ve never met a shadow with a kind of power as dangerous as this.
Yaya: Are you an idiot? You shouldn’t have come here. Look, that hat is a part of your shadow. Just as you will become a part of Bira. I wonder if I can kill all you humans.
Ganette: As if I’d let you. Not me anyway.
Mio: T…That kid is expressional
Kafka: That’s not good.
Suns: Why does Ganette have such a weird face?
Ral: I’m going too!
Mio: Ral!

Page 12
Ganette: Didn’t I tell you not to come?
Ral: Even though you’re a ‘Friend’, why are you siding with the shadows?
Yaya: Because I’ve decided that the shadows are stronger.
Ral: I didn’t just hear you then, Red Phoenix.
Yaya: Hmmm

Page 13
Yaya: Well, I’ll let the Phoenix answer you instead of me.
It doesn’t matter if the humans win, or if those from the world of darkness win, as long as our character lives on.
We could be friends before I kill you.
Either that or we’re already friends.
Ganette: If that’s your theory, then if the shadows win, won’t that phoenix of yours be eaten, my Lady?
Yaya: Not that. I’m only taking you to Bira.
Ral: Great!
Mio: What!? Why are you saying ‘great’ Ral?

Page 14
Ral: If we win, I’ll make you understand that we can be companions!
Mio: What are you thinking Ral? It’s no good. Even before you said companions, that child never thought like a human. She doesn’t have any emotions!
Aya: Yeah!
Ganette: Mio Sensei’s right. Like she said, that kid is filled with wits and tactics of an adult. But she’s somewhat worse than what an adult would be.
Ral: If I can change her, then it’ll all be good.
Ganette: It’s useless. You’ll be killled.
Yaya: What are you saying? You’re going to die here soon enough anyway.
Ganette: I don’t understand why you'd want to kill us. What I do understand is that one of us will die.

Page 15
Yaya: Well, for you, I’ll bring them out just once. Is there no way of us getting along peacefully?
Ganette: Huh?
Yaya: I’ll let you listen to what I have to say. You’ll join us here and with Bira and myself…and here with these young women, we can work together. All of you will be cute humans amongst us.
Ganette: That isn’t too bad, but…apart from the humans, you’d probably kill everyone else. I don’t like it.
Suns: !!

Page 16
Suns: Sis!
Suns: Sis!
Yaya: What? This kid is…

Page 17
Suns: Sis!
Suns’ Sister: Suns?
Yaya: That’s as far as you’ll go.
Lela: Oh no, this is bad!
Mio: Suns!
Suns (thinking): Sis...
Suns’ Sister (thinking): Sun–

Page 18
Suns’ Sister: SUNS!
Yaya: No else come closer.

Page 19
Yaya: Until I decide that you can be good friends with me, I’m not letting you get any closer.
Suns’ Sister: Suns!
Yaya: You are special humans.
Mio: Suns…!
Mio: Humans!? Where? You’re wrong! You’re nothing like a human!

Sidetext: His heart piereced by a single word.

Ral (thinking): …Nothing like humans…

Hmmm, sorry about the delay. I'm not too good with translating stuff the moment it comes out (as in, I'm usually out). Anyway, with Golden week, I spent some time learning a bit more Japanese, so hope it helps in some places. Enjoy!

Blue Dragon: Chapter 21

Page 1
Mio: Damn it, I wonder where they’ve gone…
Kafka: Leave this to Nui
Nui: *Sniff sniff*
Mio: Nui’s tail is…!

Side text: The search for Ral…

Kafka: Rizu!
Suns: Argh, what’s happening here…?
Mio: No, they are…

Tale 21 – Freedom

Mio: Ral, Suns and Aya!

Page 2
Ganette: Well, that’s how I feel. You and us have to save those captured people.
Senol: Unlike before.
Kafka: Ral won against Ganette…I can’t believe it…
Ral: Even with two on one, Ganette managed to stop me from dying in vain. Look, he almost sent my throat flying off.
Mio: Eh!?
Mio: Ral, are you ok? Let me look at that!
Ral: I-I’m ok Mio.
Mio: You’re not, I’m going to check it. Ral, let me see!

Page 3
Ral: Mio Sensei…
Mio: Even though you insisted on going ahead to defeat that Obscuria…
Ral: …
Mio: You obviously can’t do it without Kafka and your powers alone. The same goes with my knowledge too…
Ral: I was foolish to think I knew everything in this world…will you teach me a few more things Mio?
Mio: Ral…
Ral: Besides, if go on ahead together with Ganette, there’ll be no need to worry.
Kafka: Ganette might not try his best when accompanying us…
Ganette: I said that I’d help you guys helping the humans.

Page 4
Ral: What!? You don’t even feel like putting in all your effort with us!? I’ll force you to help us.
Ganette: Oh well, what are you gonna do?
Lela: …
Ganette: We don’t have time. Let’s get going to Zanch Country Ruins.
Suns: Isn’t the Zanch country the side where the guys are captured? My sister’s on the other side!
Ganette: You brat, didn’t you see the map I gave to you? Listen up, I’ve seen how Zanch and Noagia looks with these eyes.

Page 5
Ganette: The defence of the women’s side of Noagia isn’t small
Shadows: Women, women. I want to touch them. Girls. Women
Ganette: If we only look out for the women, there’ll be shadows we don’t’ like. From weak shadows to strong ones.
Ganette: Oppositely around the perimeter of the guy’s side, the shadows will be a level we can handle. A few inside as well. In other words, around the base, I don’t think I’d be willing them as they are.

Page 6
Ganette: First, we’ll save the guys and have the soldiers save the women. Otherwise it’ll look like we couldn’t save the guys. I don’t want people to hear about this, so let’s have some fun.
Kafka: I see, that’s a good plan
Suns: …
Ral: They probably don’t have a good sense of strategy. They’ll be eaten.
Ganette: Even if the guys are eaten, we shouldn’t just protect the women.
Suns: What are you saying? I’m not just gonna abandon my sister and the others
Ganette: Well, it’s how you put it. There really isn’t a reason for them to be eaten. I’ve come up with an idea. No, there’s a way.

Page 7
Senol: As if Ganette!
Ganette: Address me properly*
Senol: Ganette-sama
Ganette: I guess it can’t be helped
Ral (thinking): What’s he thought up?
Ganette: We will go on land by the Tiger. From above you’ll go on the Dragon from the sky. Even if we encounter any shadows along the way, we can advance by killing them without stopping
Suns: You lost and you’re ordering us around!
Ganette: Well Suns, tell us your strategy and we’ll follow it
Suns: Uh…
Ral: Listen Suns, for the time being, we’ll look at what Ganette does.
Ganette: You’re not good enough to look at what we do.
Ral: We can’t help it that we’re watching you!
Mio: Hey hey…
*Senol usually says Ganette-sama

Page 8
Ral: Ganette, it’s up ahead!

Page 9
Ganette: Play with this Ral
Ral (thinking) : I’m certain using Grado and the Tiger with this hand isn’t going to bad, but...
Lela: Ganette-sama, we’re in this too
Ganette: Got it
Ral: !?

Page 10
Shadow: Tch, why are we at this guy’s base?
Shadow: I dunno
Shadow: ?
Shadow: What’s that flying?
Shadow: It’s dangerous! It’s coming here!
Shadow: The Dragon!
Shadow: The Blue Dragon!

Page 11
Shadow: Ahh, what?
Shadow: Just now…
Shadow: The White Tig–
Shadow: The Blue Dragon is with the White Tiger?
Ganette: Adios

Page 12
Suns: They did it!

Page 14
Guys: Wh-Who are you?
Guys: Eeeh!
Guy: A Shadow!
Guy: Argh, don’t eat us!
Guy: Don’t kill us!
Senol: We seem to have a bad reputation. We aren’t your enemies!
Lela: They’re completely afraid of us

Page 15
Lela: Relax, we’ve come to help you all.
Guys: H-Help us?
Guys: Ganette-sama
Senol: Ganette-sama, it looks like there’s no more shadows left.
Ganette: That’s right, we cut up all the shadows outside.
Ral: Well said Ganette.
Guys: T-Tiger…!
Guys: Dragon…!?

Page 16
Guy: You are…
Guy: What on earth…
Ganette: How many of you are here?
Guys: There’s a fair number still beneath.
Ganette: That’s still not enough.
Ganette: Look at me. The shadows with me are my human companions. Now, we are fighting with people who are shadows with humans in this world. Is there anyone here who wants freedom?
Ral: Shadows with him…?
Guys: …
Guys: What…?
Guys: Freedom!?
Guys: We’ll be free? You can get us out?

Page 17
Ganette: Senol, Lela
Senol: Got it. (Too fun)
Senol: “Sorcière Chat Mons”*. Meesh, create the darkness…
*Kanji = Demon Cat Beast

Page 18
Lela: We’ll defeat the shadows. When travelling, there’s been a fair few weak animals and humans that want to go back into the world of darkness. I invite them into this (the coffin). The number of shadows that I have it is 89.
Ganette: Senol’s shadow, Sorcière Chat Mons, attaches the powers of shadows to humans
Guys: Ugh, what is this…?
Guys: It’s dark…
Ganette: What will you guys do? Would you like to be free if you help rescue the women?
Guys: Freedom…women…

Page 19
Guys: If we’re free, we can do anything! Anything!
Guys: Me too!
Guys: That’s right, I can do what I want!
Ganette: OK
Guys: Ugh? Whoa!

Page 20+21
Guys: Whoa, there’s a shadow with me
Guy: This looks like an alligator
Guy: I have a wolf
Guy: Whoa!
Ganette: Listen up you guys! From here on, we’re going to save the women!
Guys: We’ll get back the women and our freedom!
Ganette (21): Let’s play!
Kafka (20): With only this number of people, they’ve already decided
Mio: We have soldiers with us now. Now we can…
Suns (21): Ral…Ganette…
Ral: Ah, we can do it. Except I’ll be the one to kill Obscuria.

From one manga to another! Blue Dragon takes its time for some reason!
Um, apparently I stuffed up the last chapter and there going to have a duel according to the final few lines of the last chapter. Sorry!

Blue Dragon: Chapter 20

Page 1

Ral: At last, I can win against you Ganette

Tale 20 – Change

Suns: …Ok, it's a match…
Ganette: You coward…

Sidetext: A boy who ought to challenge…

Suns: I’m not a coward! Ral did what could by watching his opponent
Suns: When Ral looked like he was about to die, that woman left! You’re the one who’s a coward!

Page 2
Suns: As a boy, I definitely won’t forgive you! I’m gonna beat you up!
Ral (thinking): That’s enough Suns
Ganette: …
Ganette (thinking): This brat…isn’t in the mood for a fight. He’s serious. Besides, Suns gets his confidence from Ral. They only have the Dragon anyway.
Ganette: Let’s fight.
Ganette: Understand that I’m serious.

Page 3
Ganette: You don’t know anything about dying
Lela: Ganette-sama, I won’t let you kill these children.
Ganette: I don’t want to kill them either.
Ral: If you can kill us, then try.
Ganette: Hmph.

Page 4
Ral: But even if we win, we won’t kill you. Understand this. If you acknowledge defeat, I get to ask you one thing.
Ganette: Gaha! What are you on about? There’s no way I’d lose.
Ral: Then you shouldn’t care about the losing conditions if you're going to win.
Ganette: Ah, that’s right. Have whatever ‘conditions’ you want.
Ral: Well, if Suns or I win...

Page 5
Ral: You guys will come with us and help saved the captured people.
Suns: Ral!
Ganette: Ral’s sister might still be alive. But I’ll win. I’m set for Jugil castle. That isn’t changing.
Ganette: Ral, before we fight, I would say one thing to you. I’m special as well.

Page 6
Ral: You’re 1 of the 5 animals. The White Tiger.
Ganette: Hoh. You even knew about the 5 shadows that can specially fuse as animals
Ral: Even Mio Sensei doesn’t know this and the Dragon didn’t tell this to me either. You’d probably understand this yourself when I changed into this form.
Ganette: Well, apart from me, there’s 3 other shadows. The Red Phoenix and the Black…
Ral: Red Phoenix!?

Page 7
Ganette: What, you didn’t know that? Very well, before you die, I’ll tell you what the other 3 animals are.
Ganette: The Red Phoenix. The Black Rhinoceros.
Ral (thinking): Rhinoceros…
Ganette: And the shadow that has the greatest desire for living shadows.
Ganette: The Clear…

Page 8
Ganette: Human
Ral (thinking): Human!?
Suns: H-Human!?
Ral (thinking): A human…? Grado has also said that there are shadows that can desire

Page 9
Ral (thinking): In this world, a living thing that desires the most are surely humans. The only thing I want is to do is fondle women’s breasts.
Ral: Ganette, apart from us, have you seen the other 3 animals th…
Ganette: No. They could be anywhere. They could be alive, or they could be dead.
Ganette: I don’t know that either.
Ganette: They could be our friends, or enemies.

Page 10
Obscuria: Fwahahaha! Bring me a woman that has a more eloquent taste!
Women: Waaah! Waaah! This lady…Bira-sama! Bira-sama…Oooh…eat my tasty flesh…Bira-sama…This lady…This lady…I’ll do something!

Page 11
Shadows: Whoa! She took off her bra! Give it, give it!
Obscuria: Whoever gets this [bra] will get the first prize!
Shadows: Oooh!
Shadows: I’ve got it! It’s mine! Uoh! Give it to me! Bira-sama! Gyah! Guh! I’ve got it you idiots!

Page 12
Ganette: Well, let’s start right away.
Ral: Any rules?
Ganette: You said I could kill you here. Killing each other isn’t a rule.
Ral: Well, if we bring out our shadows, it’s ok.
Ganette: Of course. I won’t allow you to fight me without your Dragon.
Senol: He won’t allow them to kill? Isn’t that strange?
Lela: Senol, this is how things are.

Page 13
Ral: That’s right! Well I’m using the Dragon without holding back!
Ral: Wait Suns, I’ll go on first.
Suns: Ral, I will go first!
Ganette: Oy oy! Come on you lot! So annoying!
Ganette: Generally, my enemy would turn into a Dragon. They’d do things in order.

Page 14
Suns: Shut up! Do you want a one on one you bastard?
Ral: Wait Suns. To win, the two of us have to do this in order.
Ganette: Hmph. As I thought, Ral seems to be smarter than Suns.
Ral: Grado, without you, how long will it take for me to change back to my body?
Grado: A while, probably 30 seconds.
Ral: That’s plenty of time.
Ral: Suns, I will go from the front. Support me from the back.
Ganette: Hah! What’s that!? You’ve come up with a strategy against me? Suns doesn’t have enough power to support you from behind.

Page 15
Ral: Well here I go, you Adios bastard!
Ganette: Heh

Page 16
Ganette (thinking): What an idiot. While he pulls out the Dragon, he’ll attack me from the front.
Ral: Ready when you are.

Page 17
Ral (thinking): I thought he’d attack from both sides. I’ve figured out that Ganette cuts by a shadow in his hands.
Ganette (thinking): He hasn’t brought out the Dragon yet. Is he scared?
Ganette (thinking): He jumped back!? As I thought, he’s trying to run away.
Ganette: It’s useless! I have the feet of a tiger!
Ganette (thinking): An easy win!

Page 18
Ganette: Adi–
Ral: Wait Ganette! At this rate, you’ll die as well!
Ganette: Hah, this is an ugly turnout. Ra–

Page 19
Ganette: Ral, you’ve lost.
Ganette (thinking): That shadow…impossible!

Page 20
Ganette: Wait!
Senol: Oh, Ganette-sama!
Lela: Ahaha!
Ganette: When did it go into Suns?
Ral: Only when I touched his skin. It only works in the darkness. *Basically I think Ral transferred his Blue Dragon INTO Suns' shadow so that Ganette wouldn't see it

Page 21
Ral: Crap, so this is a draw.
Ganette: No.
Ganette: Suns and the Dragon have remained alive. The winners are you and Suns.
Ral & Suns: We did it!

Sidetext: Ganette has acknowledged them. Their efforts of hard work and intelligence!!!

Ishida: You’re an Espada?
Zaelapollo: How insightful of you. That’s correct, I’m the Octava Espada – Zaelapollo Grantz.
Ishida: Octova…Esapada huh?

Page 16
Ishida: I’m glad then. It means that you’re number isn’t a very strong one.

Tale 19 – Next

Ral: Suns! Aya!

Sidetext: The absolute end…!

Ral: Kuru kuru!

Page 2
Ganette: Aaargh, so troublesome!

Page 3
Ral: Ganette!
Ganette: There’s a few of them. Adios!
Biyon: A-A White Tiger?

Page 4:
Biyon: Even when the white tager comes, th-
Ganette: Shut up you bastard!
Biyon: What? I am Bira-sama’s–
Ganette: Don’t you damn well know when to shut up? I’ll kill you!
Ral (thinking): Damn, it’s him again…but something about his appearance is strange.
Ral (thinking): And those corpes…

Page 5:
Ganette: Look what you’ve become
Ganette: It’s your fault! Because of you, those kids and everyone else would have died!
Ral: I’m grateful for them helping. But, I didn’t ask for them to help me. Even now and before…

Page 6
Suns: That’s right, he didn’t ask for help!
Ganette: Ah, I see.
Ganette: I didn’t want to help those two times before. These kids did not know they would die, and the fact that you were caught in this net having intended to see the enemy’s method…you would have been unable to defeat your opponent!
Suns: What did you say?
Ganette: Shut up! Just be quiet for a bit longer you brat.
Ganette: Lela and Senol said they didn’t want to see those kids die.
Lela: We said that?
Ganette: You kids should be grateful to these two kind woman.

Page 7
Suns: Why should we when we didn’t ask for help?
Ganette: I know, I know.
Ganette: Well, next time, whatever Lela and Senol say, I won’t help out anymore. If you die, Biyon will do what she wants with you.
Ganette: Because you guys aren’t companions to me.
Suns: That’s right! You aren’t our companions.
Suns: But Ral and I are companions! So that’s why I came here!
Ral (thinking): Suns…

Page 8
Suns: You didn’t have to go on ahead to save my sister!
Suns: I don’t know whether my sister is even alive or not…but if Ral isn’t, then it’s useless.
Suns: No…
Suns: Ral and everyone will go and save her! We know that we all need Ral. Isn’t it the same as you knowing that you need all of us?
Suns: Mio needs you Ral!

Page 9
Suns: Mio knows many things about the spider’s webs. If we’re together with her, these sorts of things wouldn’t have happened. Mio even has a splendid war potential!
Ral (thinking): Mio Sensei…
Ral: Suns, you’re right. I have gotten up to here because of Mio Sensei and everyone else.
Ral: You came to help me Suns. Thanks.
Suns: Ah, Ral!

Page 10
Biyon: I won’t let things go that way. You won’t make it to Bira-sama. That’s why I wil–
Ral: Oy, you imposter
Biyon: Yes!? Me…?
Ral: Yeah, you fake loser!
Biyon: Eh!? Fake?
Ral: Didn’t you say we’d be killed by you? If that was so, you still brought all those henchman [referring to the spiderlings] with you here. Ganette noticed this from the corpses he saw. This web is part of the shadow. The dragon and I are bound in this web that is a part of your body.

Page 11:
Lela: You did?
Ganette: He wouldn’t get out from the threads, and even if his body changed, the other spiders would probably change too.
Ral: Grado, you won’t die from this poison
Grado: Have you done it? Perhaps, when we return to the world of darkness, your won’t return to the form of a normal human…
Ral: We’ll pretend that we’ll have died in front of Ganetto.
Grado: Got it.
Biyon: Haha…impressive.However, I see through it. You are going to die. Followers…
Biyon: Do it.

Page 13:
Ganette: Hmph, he’s also special. From here, things will surely be decided.
Senol: That boy does it very well.
Ral: Nya!
Ral: OK, I’m ok now. Enter my body Grado!

Page 14
Biyon: The threads are…!
Ral: If the threads I follow are a part of your body, then the source of this thread will struggle too.
Ral: If the threads are apart of your body, it shouldn’t be too far away…
Biyon: I-Imposibble!
Ral: Let’s do it, Grado!

Page 15
Shadow: What? There’s a strong shadow inside the…Is it the White Tiger or the Blue Dragon? If they get to my spinal chord, even I…won’t have any choice. For the time being, this’ll be it.
Shadow: OK.

Page 16
Biyon: Hieeeugh!
Ral: Did it run away? You’ve lost the power of your thread.
Ral: Grado, return quickly.
Grado: I’m already inside your mouth.

Page 17
Grado: Biyon has already gone back to Obscuria’s place
Ral: The real one gone and run away
Shadow: !
Shadow: Kiieeeegh!

Page 18
Shadow: Hargh!

Page 19
Ral: The remainder of this swarm is annoying
Suns: Do your best
Ral: Well well, it seems as though they are running away too…
Aya: Kyaaa, I hate spiders!
Ganette: I only kill those that can kill. I’m not helping you. Rals, Suns, this is my style.
Ral: Ah, you should move yourself Ganette.
Suns: !?

Page 21
Ral: I’m glad you’re a person that didn’t get in our way.
Ral: This is clearly a victory, with Ganette!

Sidetext: A complete change! Their fates are dispelled! In a duel…!!?

Page 20
Suns: Wow…
Suns (thinking): Ral and Ganette are strong!

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 18:25:46 +0000

No one seems to have translated this chapter and there are a few people out there who probably want to read this, so thought I’ve give it a shot. I guess it would help if I’ve read the first volume, as some things are a bit vague, as knowing what half the stuff says helps you out. Translating Manga is good Jap skill build up for me, so that’s my excuse. Enjoy! (I shall update my (?)s later in the week)
Notes:
- My translation got “Biyon” instead of “Biyu”
- “Ganette” instead of “Galette”

Mio: Ral…
ミオ：ラルはもう私を必要としてないのね。。。
Mio (thinking): Ral doesn’t need me anymore…

ラル：オレ必ず闇女王(オプスキャリア)倒すからな！！

テイル１８　コンパニオン
Tale 18 - Companion

スンス：ミオさん！ラルさんは。。。
Suns: Mio-san! Has Ral…
ミオ：行っちゃった。
Mio: He’s gone.
スンス：えっ！
Suns: Eh?!

Page 3
スンス：。。。ミオさんなら止められると思ったのに
Suns: I thought you could’ve stopped him…
カフカ：ラルの力無しとなると。。。
Kafka: If Ral has no power…
ミオ：私がラルの分までがんばります。私のカゲの知識はスンスのお姉さんを助ける時に必ず役に立つってラルが。。。
Mio: I’ll work hard for Ral’s part. My knowledge of the shadow will definitely be useful for Ral when he saves Sans’s sister.
カフカ：ミオ殿。。。
Kafka: Mio-dono…
カフカ：うむ、ここから先は４人で力を合わせ進もう
Kafka: From now on, all four of us will help each other.
ミオ：私。。。戻って準備して来ます。
Mio: I…will go and get ready for this…
スンス：ラルさん。。。
Suns: Ral…

Page 4:
ラル：ガネットに遅れを取って４日。絶対追いついてやる！
Ral (thinking): I am 4 days behind Ganette. I’ll definitely catch up!
ラル：カゲの死骸奴も真っすぐジュギル城へ
Ral (thinking): The shadow corpes lead straight to Jugil castle.

Page 5:
カゲ：！？ナカマダロ？サードミタイダッタシナ。
Shadow 1: ?!
Shadow 2: Is it an ally?
Shadow 3: It seems to be a third…
カゲ：仲間じゃなくても、どうせ俺達は「今は何もするな」だ。イマハビヨンサマニマカセウゴクナカ。オモシロクネーナ。
Shadow 4: Even if he’s not an ally, we can’t do anything.
Shadow 1: Leave it to Biyon-sama. Don’t move.
Shadow 2: This is interesting.
セノル：ガネット様、カゲの反応が！
Senol: Ganette-sama, the shadow’s reaction…!
ガネット：ちっ、ブラッツをしまい。森に身を隠せ。
Ganette: Put away Blatz. Conceal yourself in the forest.
セノル：めんどくさ～
Senol: You’re so annoying…

Page 6
ラル：なんだ！？
Ral: What the…!?
リーラ：あれはブルードラゴンのぼうや。
Lela: That’s the Blue Dragon’s little boy.
ガネット：ホ―こっちに来たか。早いな思ってたより。。。
Ganette: Hoh….He made it here? He’s quicker than I thought…
ガネット：あいつ一人か？
Ganette: He’s alone?
セノル：そうみたいね。
Senol: Seems like it.
ガネット：はっ、仲間割れか？やっぱダメダナ、アイツ。
Ganette: Ha, he split from his friends! How stupid of him.

Page 7
ラル：何かと思ったら、太くてでっけークモの巣だ。
Ral: Now that I think about it, this is huge, fat spider web.
リーラ：怖いものを怖いと思えぬものが早死にするでしたわね、ガネット様？
Lela: If one frets over scary things, they’ll have a quick death, right Ganette-sama?
ガネット：ああ。
Ganette: Yeah.
リーラ：もう助けるのは嫌ですよ。
Lela: There’s no way I’m helping him again!
ガネット：わかってるよ。
Ganette: I know.
ガネット：あいつがあの巣に絡まれば、必ずドラゴンを出す。俺達が通れるくらいの隙間はできるだろう。そこから先に進む。
Ganette: If he gets trapped in that web, he’ll surely bring out the Dragon. We we’ll be able to pass through an opening. From there, we can move ahead.
リーラ：明暗ですわ、ガネット様。
Lela: That’s a good idea Ganette-sama.

Page 8
カフカ：ラルが居ぬ以上。とにかく、カゲに見つからぬ様ノアギアまで進むしかない。
Kafka: Ral’s up ahead. Anyhow, look out for shadows of any form. We’ll only move up to Noagia.
アイア：とっても大きなクモのスの前。ラル行った。
Aya: Ral went to a very big web ahead.
ラル：わっ、ネバネバする。ひ―っ。
Ral: Ah, it’s sticky. Eugh
ラル：くそっ、こんなクモの巣。。。
Ral: Damn this web…

Page 9
スンス：ミ、ミオさん、大きなクモの巣張るカゲっている？
Suns: M-Mio-san, are there any shadows in this big sticky web?
ミオ：えっ？
Mio: Huh?
ミオ：見た事あるの？
Mio: Have you seen any?
スンス：えっ、まあ。。。
Suns: Um, well…
ミオ：それを見たら、絶対に触っちゃだめ！蜘蛛獣(アレニモンス)の罠だから。
Mio: Don’t ever touch it if you see it! For it’s Alenimon’s trap!
ミオ：それに引っ掛かると、どんどん糸が絡んできて、抜け出そうとう動くと何千何万っていうタランチュラのカゲがたべに来るの。
Mio: If you get caught, you’ll get tangled quickly. If you try to get out, thousands and thousands of Tarrantula shadows will come to eat you.
スンス：。。。ヤバイっス
Suns (thinking): …This is bad…
スンス：わ。。。わかりました。。。
Suns: I-I understand…
スンス：アイア、ラルさんは今の知ってそう？
Suns: Aya, does Ral know this?
アイア：ラル切ってススム言ってる
Aya: Ral seems to trying to cut it.
スンス：ヤバイっス！！
Suns (thinking): CRAP!

Page 10
ラル：うわっ、何だこれ？くっついて離れね―！
Ral: Urgh, what is this? I can’t get out of it!
ラル：ただのクモの巣じゃね―思ってたより硬て―
Ral: This isn’t a normal spider web. It’s tougher than I thought…
ラル：やばい！だんだん。。。動けなく。。。グラド！
Ral: Oh no…I’m gradually losing movement. GRADO!

Page 11:
グラド：何だこれは！？これ以上出れない！
Grado: What the hell is this? I can’t get out of this!
ラル：えっ
Ral: Eh!?
グラド：まとわりついてきて糸がこうかしていく。
Grado: I’m tied up! The threads are hardening!
ラル：グラドの力切れないのか？
Ral: You can’t even cut it with your power?
ガネット：今！行くぞ、セノル、リーラ！
Ganette: Now! Let’s go, Senol, Lela

Page 12:
ラル：ガネット！！
Ral: Ganette!!
ガネット：迎えも来たようだ。
Ganette: Seems like your greeting’s also come.
ガネット：ガイラ！
Ganette: Gaira!
ラル：ホワイトタイガー
Ral: The white tiger?

Page 13:
ガネット：アディオス！
Ganette: Adios!
ラル：くそっ！
Ral: Crap!
ラル：グラド！
Ral: Grado!
グラド：ダメだ。口も開けなくなった。
Grado: It’s no good. I can’t open my mouth!
声：くははははははは！
Voice: Kuhahaha!

Page 14
カゲ：大量です。
Biyon: Jackpot!
カゲ：小僧！私の名を聞け。
Biyon: Brat, ask me my name.
ラル：。。。
Ral: …
カゲ：。。。まあいい。
Shadow: Very well then…

Page 15
ビヨン：私はビラ様・閣下(サンク)・五騎士(シュヴァリア)・華と蜜吟味役(ロイヤルゼリー)のビヨン
Biyon: I am one of Bira-sama’s Five Royal Knights*.
ビヨン：もっともこれでオツキではなく、ビラ様の寵愛を受ける唯一のものとなるであろう。
Biyon: Even though she isn’t here herself, you have become one of her main attractions.
ラル：こいつ、ふざけてるとも思えないが。。。
Ral: I didn’t think she was mucking around with me…
ビヨン：以上、では死んで頂戴。
Biyon: You will die shortly.
声：わ―つ！
Voices: Waaah!
ビヨン：！？
*One of Bira-sama Excellency’s Fight Knights of the Flower and Honey Guard

Page 16
ビヨン：おほっ！
Biyon: Ugh
アイア：やるな、クルクル。飛ばす距離もコントロールもピッタリ。
Aya: Kuru Kuru did it! The flying distance and control is more accurate now!
ビヨン：な、なんだ貴様らどけ！？
Biyon: Who the hell are you bastards?
ラル：スンス、アイア。。。
Ral (thinking): Suns, Aya…

Page 17
ラル：お、俺の仲間だ！
Ral: He’s my companion!
ラル：仲間。。。
Ral (thinking): Companion…
スンス：このカゲはコブラの毒持ってるっス。ラルさん殺したら、おまえを殺す！
Suns: This Shadow has Cobra’s poison. If you kill Ral, we’ll kill you!
ビヨン：私を殺しても、助かりませんよ。あんた方全員です。ただあんたが死ぬ前に、殺したのが私だと知っておいてほしかったのです。
Biyon: Even if you kill me, you can’t save him. Any of you.
Biyon: But before you all die, I wanted you to know that I wanted to kill you. (?)
ビヨン：いえ、私は殺されません。
Biyon: No, I won’t be killed.

Page 18
ビヨン：馬鹿にしないでください！！
Biyon: Please don’t be such IDIOTS!
ラル：スンス、アイア！
Ral: Suns, Aya!
ビヨン：人間の姿をしているからと、甘くみないでもらいたい。私はビラ様に選ばれし一人です。
Biyon: Because I am in my human form, I don’t want to be seen as weak. I was the one chosen by Bira-sama.

Page 19
ビヨン：子供だらけでそのヘンテコなカゲ遊んで欲しかったのなら、申し出ていただきたかった。
Biyon: If you stupid children wanted to play with strange shadows, you should’ve looked for people like yourselves. (?)
ビヨン：しかし、もう手遅れです。私の背中を土に着けた罪、私の片手を汚した罪、重いです。女子供だからといって許しはしません。
Biyon: However, it’s too late for you now. Taking me on from behind and onto the behind and injuring one of my hands is a severe crime.
Biyon: Even if you were girls, I will not forgive you. (?)
ミオ：あれ？
Mio: Huh?
ミオ：アイアとスンスがいない！
Mio: Aya and Suns are gone!
カフカ：何！？
Kafka: What!?
カフカ：も、もしや知らぬ間にカゲに。。。
Kafka: W-What if the shadow has taken them…?
ミオ：えっ、まさか！
Mio: No, that’s not possible!
ミオ：スンス！
Mio: Suns!
カフカ：アイア！
Kafka: Aya!

Page 20+21
ラル：スンス、アイア！
Ral (thinking): Suns, Aya…!

テキスト：勇敢なる二人の若き戦士を無数のカゲが強襲。。。何もできぬ！？ラル！！
Sidetext: The heroic two young fighters are assaulted by the shadow’s power! Can they do anything? Can Ral!?

Hmmm, first time I've done this, but this is speed for you:

Bleach: Chapter 271

The result of the impact...

Bleach 271 - If You Rise From the Ashes

Ichigo – still stands!

Page 3
Nell: Ichigooo!
Ichigo: ...Nell...

Page 4
Ichigo: Urgh.
Nell: Waaaah!
Nell: I thought you were dead...Ichigo...
Ichigo: Aah...
Nell: ...Just then with that ragged body of yours, you used that absurd power again.
Nell: It's crazy! You musn't use it! Nell was really worried!
Nell: Don't do that again!

Page 5
Ichigo: ...Sorry Nell...
Ichigo: Right! let's go.
Nell: A-Are you ok, Ichigo?
Ichigo: I'm ok...At this place, there’s no time for rest...
Voice: ...Well well...

Page 7
Ichigo: What...the hell...?
Ulquiorra: Even though I used both hands, I couldn't stop the blow...I'm a bit suprised.
Ulquiorra: Just then, that was all your power?
Ulquiorra: It seems like it.

Page 8
Ulquiorra: A pity.
Ichigo: A Cero!!!

Page 11
Ichigo: Nell, are you ok? Nell!?

Page 13
Ulquiorra: At the instant you defended Cero, you managed pulled your mask out from before. Impressive reaction speed.
Ulquiorra: But this time, it's broken now and you won't be able to bring it back out...
Ulquiorra: Give up.

Page 14
Ichigo: Who the hell...says I should give up...

Page 15
Ichigo: You bastard...you're probably the top of the Espada...
Ichigo: So if I beat you, winning battles in this war won't be the same.
Ulquiorra: Is that so?
Ulquiorra: That's a pity for you then.

Page 17
Ichigo: The...Cuatro?!
Ulquiorra: Yes. I am the Cuatro Esapada Ulquiorra Schiffer.
Ulquiorra: In all of the Espada, power is ranked 4th!

Page 18
Ulquiorra: Kurosaki Ichigo. You cannot defeat me.

Page 19
Ulquiorra: Even if you did defeat me...there are still another 3 Espada above me.
Ulquiorra: If you stood up 1000 times against me...
Ulquiorra: You would have not one victory.
