Nurarihyon no Mago Special : 2008

Kudos to anon1525 for transcribing this omake... made life so much easier. Find the transcript here: http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1027265.

Disclaimer: I'm clueless about soccer, so this chapter was a real pain to translate. Corrections are greatly appreciated, and soccer fans, don't take offense if I mis-used some of the terminology.

Moving on...

Line 1: Grandson of Nurarihyon Omake

Line 2: Story of the Retaliation of the Kiyo Cross Supernatural Investigation Squad

Line 3: Shiibashi Hiroshi

Text (side of panel 1): ☆ Going all-out this time!! (It's the author's choice!!)

Box 1: A few days after the disasterous training camp during Golden Week-------

Sign (right): Inter-class face-offs
Sign (middle): 2008 Ball-games Tournament
Sign (left): Before lunch: Boy's soccer After lunch: Girl's softball
Lit: Class Face-offs

Box 2: At Ukiyoe Middle School... the customary ball-games tournament was being held---

Bubble 1: Hey... Those three people are finally gonna go heads-on against each other
おい…とうとうあ・の・３・人・が決勝でぶつかるかしいぜ
T/N: remember to italicise

Bubble 2: You serious?

Bubble 3: 1st years' team 2 against... 1st years' team 3
T/N: Lit 'Year 1, Team 2' etc., but this flows better in dialogue

Bubble 4:
このカードを見のがすわけにはいかないぜ!!
T/N: What is カード? From the context I'm guessing this line is something like 'You mustn't miss this match!!'

Bubble 5: O---h boy, I getting real excited!!

SFX 4: Whoo-- Whoo---
SFX 4 (small): Kya--
T/N: lit 'wa--', but that's more of a crying sound in English

Bubble 6: Stop!!

Bubble 7: Get him!!
つぶぜ！！

Bubble 8: Take down... Kyotsugu----!!
清継を……つぶせーーーーー！！
T/N: It's つぶせ in both lines, but for the sanity of typesetters I'm using different verbs. 'Get... Kyotsugu' sounds pretty odd as well.


Page 2

Box 1: Kyotsugu Year 1, Team 3
Position: Offensive mid-fielder
T/N: OK there seems to be some difference between 'offensive' and 'attacking' mid-fielders. I'm guessing from the Wiki entry that 'offensive' = soccer and 'attacking' = American football. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

Bubble 1: Damn it!!

Bubble 2:
Cut him off from passing the ball!!

Lit: 'Cut off all his pass-course'

Bubble 3: It's hopeless...

Bubble 4: Even if you flounder with all your might.
Sub-bubble: Just who do you think I am?!

SFX: whoosh whoosh

Bubble 5: Uwaaa~~~~~~~ That's Kyotsugu-kun for you!! He overtook them so easily~~~~~!!

Bubble 6: He's super skilled
Lit: overflowing with ability

Bubble 7: As... As expected of the boy who was blessed by god in everything!!
T/N: lit 'man', but middle-schoolers do NOT use that to describe each other. Also, different wording for さすが so it reads better

Bubble 8: Bit of a pity about his hobbies, really

Text (right of panel 6): Kyotsugu
Dribble control: 92
Dribble speed: 86

T/N: Thanks to owlish for the suggestion!

Bubble 5: But now his true colours show... He's a left side-back with a god-like speed of covering 50m in 5 seconds!!

Bubble 6: Woaaah------ Heeeeeyy---------!!

Bubble 10: Definitely a modern-day soccer genius sent from heaven!!
T/N: 銀代 should be 現代. 申し子 means 'heaven-sent child in response to Shinto/Buddhist prayers', but this sounds better =9

Bubble 11: Rikuo-sama---!!

Line (below stats): Isn't he?
T/N: probably a question to the reader, saying, "Hey, he's a genius. Take a look at these stats. Don't you agree?"

Bubble 12: But as I thought, that club's weird!!
T/N: The Youkai Investigation Club

Bubble 13: Rikuo-sama--!!

Translator's notes:

Ganbari Monk (Ganbari Nyuutou)
A youkai that lives in toilets. It hides behind toilet windows, so it can scare people with its cuckoo-like cry when a person goes to the toilet in the middle of the night. Said to poise itself like it were spitting birds from its mouth.

In one illustration, it has the appearance of a hairy high-monk, with a long tongue that sticks out as it peers into the toilet.
