Hyde and Closer 23

Michiko to Hatchin FTW. I totally think that Michiko's seiyuu should do Ana if Hyde ever gets an anime. (HINT HINT SYNERGY SP.)



Stewardess: Ma’am!!

Ma’am!!

(Sfx- Snooore)

Stewardess: We’ve landed on at the airport and everyone’s disembarked.

Could you please follow suit….

Act 23: Carnival (1)

???: Hah?

‘bout time I guess then….

Ya’ll shoulda….

Came and got me up soona.

(TN- She’s got a noticeable Osaka dialect, and this is usually how it’s rendered in American versions of manga and anime.)

002

???: Damn that’s pretty fine George!!

That color, and that shape….it’s the real deal,

Ain’t no one gonna be able to beat a ‘fro like that!!

George: Who you tellin’?

Ain’t no one around that can touch this…

Sheeet, you could hop the globe….

And you won’t find no one….

George: Ay!

Where your eyes at….?!?!

???: Git lost.
Ya’ll ain’t got no business walkin’ where grown folks are headin’.

???: Dude…right there…

George.

???: So this is Japan….

Now ain’t this the busy little country?

003

???: Right fine place to have me a carnival.

Act 23: Carnival (1)

(TN- Michiko to Hatchin references start here! And if you aren’t watching that anime, you’re missing out on a lot!)

004

Shunpei: ‘Se’!

Hyde: ‘Seppuku’!!

Shunpei: Okay now ‘I’!

Hyde: ‘Ibushi Gin!’

Shunpei: Okay now ‘Mu’?

Hyde: ‘Muhou matsu!’

Shunpei: ‘Bu’!

Hyde: ‘Bushi ha kuwanedo takayouji!’

Shunpei: Hey Hyde….

Hyde: Yeah?

Shunpei: This game you thought up…’Manly fill the blank’….

It’s not very interesting is it?

Besides you always get to answer the questions…..

Hyde: Fine then Shun my boy, next it’s your turn.

‘Ha’!

Shunpei: Uuuuuh…

‘Ha’ ‘Ha’ ‘Ha’…

‘Hassuru’?

(TN- They’re basically thinking of the first word that comes to mind after given a certain letter. Scantlators can flip it to English words if it makes more sense, but I didn’t feel like trying to convert it:-P BTW, Seppuku- Disembowelment, Ibushi Gin- Oxidized Silver, Muhou matsu- Outrageous pine, and Bushi ha kuwanedo takayouji- A warrior uses a toothpick leisurely after eating. Shunpei’s Hassuru could be the Japanese pronunciation of ‘Hustle’. HASSURU.)

005

Hyde: That’s no good.

Besides, a man’s gotta have a good vocabulary to match his overall manliness.

Shunpei: Whaat? Are you serious?

But I thought ‘Hassuru’ was a good one!

???: AAAH!!!

Ain’t you Closer Shunpei?!?!

Shunpei: Wha?

???: Old man!

Lemmie down here!

Ah didn’t expect ta find ya so quickly.

But that’s good to yanno? Ya’ll ready for me?!

006

Ah don’t think I gotta explain why ah I came here?!

Yah oughta give up now Closer Shunpei!!

Shunpei: Could this lady be….

Cab driver: Miss, I’m going to need my fare!

Ana: N?

Shunpei: Huh?!

Ana: How much then?

Cab driver: Ummm…

007

Cab Driver: 2560 yen please.

Ana: Hold up dere old man!

Stop ya meter! Ah I saw it go up!!

Cab driver: You say that but…

Ana: Ah ain’t made of money!

(Box- And so 2 minutes passed.)

Ana: Hol up, Ah gots me a coupon! You gotta take it!

Cab driver: Weeeellll, that depends on what the company says.

(Box- Followed by another 5 minutes.)

Ana: Ah didn’t know yous a Osaka-fan old man!

Cab driver: Ahahahahah!!

Ana: Yall come back now ya hear?!

Shunpei: Uh…okay.

Really our enemy?

008

Hyde: ---now ain’t this something.

Coming at us in the midday, right smack dab in town,

And revealing yourself as a magician right off the bat,

Let’s not even forget that this one’s a woman too!

Ana: Ah hate usin’ dirty tricks like attackin’ from behind…

And ah ain’t the type to hide nothin’.

Besides…

Ah wouldn’t ‘ave come lookin’

If ah thought ah might lose to ya’ll!!

Shunpei: Wow….she seems pretty familiar Hyde,

What with that baseless self confidence…

Hyde: You aren’t trying to compare us are you? Shun my boy.

Ana: Now ah’m right proud to see ya Closer Shunpei.

Ah got into this whole magic thing just for this moment!

Now, why don’t yall just give up nice and easy for me?

Shunpei: Crap!!

In the end, it doesn’t change the fact that she wants me dead!!

009

Ana: All ah gotta do is get one of ya toenails,

and once ah drink it, ah got me the power of tha magical king!!

Shunpei: …whe….

010

Shunpei: WHERE DID SHE HEAR A STUPID RUMOR LIKE THAT ONE?!

Ana: Now ah know ya’ll real embarrassed-like to ‘ere that…

But ya know, ah really need ya’lls magical power. So get ready ya’ll!

We can talk ‘bout the details latah!

I just want ya’ll’s power! Hand it ovah!

Shunpei: Well that’s not the problem here….

Ana: ‘Guess we gotta make some noise eh!!

Mekki! Time for ya to shine!!

Mekki: Hoyaaaha!!

Mekki: Owwie! That hurts!!

Why’d you do that boss-lady?!

Ana: Ah don’t like repeatin’ myself!

We ain’t doin nuttin but reggae!

We ain’t wastin’ time with no damn Latin music.

Mekki: But I haven’t even announced the next mambo!

Come on boss lady, at least grant me that!

I’ve got the perfect Latin sound….

And you’re killing it boss lady…!!

Shunpei: Somehow, I’m really not in the mood to do this….are you Hyde?

Hyde: They’re beginning to get on my bad side!!

Let me go straighten the two of them out Shun!

Shunpei: Ok~ay.

(Handwritten- he seems upset…~)

013

Shunpei: ‘Texas Chainsaw!!!’

Ana: Aaight! Seems like he ain’t playin’ games ‘ere!

Mekki!

Let’s git started ‘ere too!!

Mekki: Y---yeah!

Ana: ‘Repenze Aztec’!

Ya’ll din know?

Ah use magic that controls music an’ dancin’.

014

Ana: Back in the ol’ days, music an’ dancin’ was used to do all kinds of stuff yanno? From makin sick people bettah, to bringin’ down the rain for the harvest.

Ya’ll could say it controls god ‘n’ the devil themselves.

It’s dat kind of power!!

Wit a cheerful Latin rhythm,

Ya’ll don’ know ‘ow much hurt ya’ll bout to be in.

…an’..

Huh?

Ah think I….

Forgot da CD.

Mekki: B---BOSS LADDDYYYYYY!!!

015

Ana: Ah didn’ even thin’ to look for dat thing…..

Maybe ah oughta make a check list or somethin’ like that…

Ah don’t even see my toothbrush…

Mekki: WE’VE GOT BIGGER PROBLEMS!!!

(Handwritten- we can’t fight back!!)

Ana: Aaah Ah know that!

We just got to fin’ them too!!

Mekki: We can’t overdo things boss lady!

I can’t do a physical fight against them and win!!

Ana: Yah think I’m stupid!! Ah know that!

But we ain’t got a choice!! Go!

Mekki: That’s suicide boss lady!!

Shunpei: Um…well…

How about we call it a draw for today then?

Mekki: I got it then!!

I’ll go and attack them!!

I don’t know how it’ll turn out but I gotta try!!

Shunpei: Oh man!!

Who knows what’ll happen!

Hyde, what should we do?

Hyde:….for starters,

016

Hyde: Slow your roll.

Mekki: BUYHAAAA!!

Ana: Buah!!

GYAHHH!!!!

017

Hyde: You guys should know…

That hurt me more than it hurt you!

Shunpei: I’ll bet it did…

But man! What was up with those two?

They sure were weird…

Moreover, I was so late that it probably wasn’t even worth coming today~~
Teacher: Hey you! Take your seat!

Today I’d like to introduce a new transfer student to our Homeroom!

018

Teacher: She’s come straight from Mexico!

Ana Maria Monsalbaju-san.

Shunpei: Whaaaat? She didn’t just come here to try and beat me down?!

Moreover….she’s the same age as me?
