-> RTS Page for Defense Devil 4

Reserved for I Eat Manga. International scanlation is okay just give me credit.

Kucabara continues to win points for being the first character I have seen dump a garbage bin on an asshole. Man that would be the best attack. The villian is standing there laughing at how evil he is, so you grab a garbage bin and dump it on him - Gomi Cannon!

Page 1

-(top title) Judgement 2 - Apple Tree 3
-(right) Huge Hit For Sale!! Shin Angyo Onshi 17 Volumes!!
-(left) Even if he's lost his power, He hasn't given up the strenth of his heart!

Page 2

-Previously, there was an incident where a demon was banished from the demon world. / It was quite a famous incident.
-(out of bubble) He's left Nami up to Bichula, Now Kucabara prepares to face off against the Shinigami!
-Why was that so...because that idiotic demon was the son of of our great Demon King.
-Mephisto Bart Kucabara!
-I suppose you want an autograph?
-I heard rumours that you committed suicide after being banished,
-But to think that you were helping out sinners...kuku, it would have been better if you had killed yourself...

Page 3

-You can take your dirty autograph,
-To the grave with you!
-Uah!?

Page 4

-I'll save you the need to kill yourself!!
-What's with this station! / There isn't a single security camera.

Page 5

-Um~~ Won't the people notice us...
-Don't worry. You're a soul so the people can't see you.
-We guys from the demon world are able to go outside the view of normal humans. / We just have to make some adjustments to our power so that they aren't able to see us.
-What's that!? There's something strange on the tracks!!
-But even so sometimes mistakes are made!
-It's here right?
-This is where the accident happened.
-(side text) The Story So Far, Kucabara, the demon who likes humans and has been banished from hell, in order to collect the "Dark Matter" needed to return to the demon world he has started a job defending sinners. This time Kucabara is trying to prove that the soul Nami did not commit suicide. She signed a contract with him!
-Is it a stuffed toy?
-Don't stare at me!
-Yes, there's no mistake. But it looks like nothing else has happened.
-Isn't that obvious. Did you think they would build a memorial for you or something!

Page 6

-Your suicide caused a lot of trouble to a lot of people.
-Who would want to express sympathy for someone like that. / We might as well stop looking for your Innocence Item if it's like this.
-(handwritten) Huh? Did I say too much?
-It's okay. I won't give up until the end.
-Because I have hope.
-Don't make me laugh, this isn't some fairy tale that will come true.
-You're even more childish than Master is.
-Um...you were called Bichula right? Can I ask something?
-Why is Kucabara risking his life for my sake?

Page 7

-My Master is the third son,
-Of the Great Demon King, Mephisto Bart.
-But, while he is the son of a Demon King... / Because of the kind personality that is ingrained into him...
-As he grew up he got on the wrong side of those other demons around him.
-In the end, those who thought that my Master was a disgrace came together and conspired, / to strip him of his status, his power, everything, and chase him from the demon world.

Page 8

-So, when he sees someone in the same circumstances as himself,
-He jumps right in and tries to save them. That's about how it is?
-You included such a moving part to it, / But it was still such a yawn-inducingly stale speech.
-You bastard, why are you here!? / Where's my Master!?

Page 9

-Kyaaaa!!!
-Run away!
-We have to do something for that person!
-Uwaaaa! No!
-Shit!

Page 10

-Kyaaa!
-What! What are you doing!?
-Bichula! / You okay!?
-Tell this to Kucabara!
-I remembered everything at the park back there!

Page 11

-I was lightly dressed...because...
-My...coat...florist...!
-Huh?
-Who's this guys?
-Oy, you okay?
-Ah, he's alive!

Page 12

-Uuh...my head... / You, can you see me?
-What, you're talking like you're half asleep. / Did you do all this?
-Ah, sorry, I've caused some trouble.
-This is certainly troublesome. / I didn't recall this place as much.
-(right hand side text) Kucabara, A demon exiled from hell. If he absorbs enough Dark Matter he can restore his form to it's original power. He likes observing the human world. Bichula, He was banished alongside Kucabara. A Dragon.
-Even though I often came here with Nami on a date.
-Did you just say Nami? / The one who died at Hanputon Station...?
-What, did you know Nami?
-Say...what kind of girl was Nami?
-I want to know the details...no, just a simple explanation.
-You're an understanding guy.
-If you've met her then you know what she's like.

Page 13

-She was an amazing girl.
-Rare in this day and age.
-Her heart was kind.
-She had a personality that wouldn't allow her to just ignore the homeless she came upon.
-She was interested in volunteering.
-On her days off she would go by herself to see elderly people living alone, and children without any parents. / Cleaning and washing for them with fervour.
-She would always say the same words to people,
-Those she met while volunteering, do you know what they were?

Page 14

-"Even if the Earth will be ruined tomorrow"
-"I'll plant an apple tree today."
-It means no matter what kind of hopeless situation, you definitely do not give up hope.
-But for a girl who like the word hope so much...
-To commit suicide, / Humans can never be understood.
-Thank goodness! This person doesn't believe that Nami committed suicide!
-Um, would you...
-If I'm able to submit him as the Innocence Item...
-Sorry, I got caught up doing my makeup.
-You're late.

Page 15

-I'll carry that.
-Thanks.
-I'm done here, so let's go to the Ferris Wheel.
-Yeah.
-Wait.
-Didn't you just say that you used to come here with Nami for dates?
-Don't you want to come here with her again?
-What a joke.
-Who would want a girl who committed suicide.
-With my new girl,
-I can get rid of all those unpleasant memories.
-All that stuff about apple trees, / I was just making fun of it.

Page 16

-There are people who try to do too much good. / You understand right? I've had it hard.
-Whenever I wanted to break it off she would persistently dog me.
-That's why her death isn't any of my responsibility. / I just want to be rid of those emo feelings.
-Oy!
-You aren't,
-Allowed to litter in the park!
-Ah?
-Kyaaa!!

Page 17

-What the hell are you doing!
-Are you okay? Hey!
-Be careful! In hell,
-We definitely don't recycle any rubbish!
-Master!
-Bichula!?
-What's wrong? Did Ponsol do something?
-Nami was caught... / He took her back...to Hell.
-No-ooo!! Stooop!!

Page 18

-Save me Kucabara!
-Kucabara!!
-What should we do? Both of us are already...the Innocence Item too...
-There isn't any Dark Matter left either.
-At this rate... / Nami will be spending eternity in hell...
-Don't worry.
-I won't give up till the end, / Because I have a lot of hopes!
-(right out of bubble) Is there a chance of success!?
-(bottom) Continued in Issue 24.

I thought this was a really good translation! It flowed very well. My favorite part was the phrase "yawn-inducingly stale speech." It just sounded really good. Really nice rhythm and alliteration there. and 'inducingly?' Awesome.

A couple minor things -

"Did you think they would build a memorial for your or something!" your should be you here

"-In the end, those who thought that my Master was an eyesore came together and conspired, / to strip him of his status, his power, everything, and chase him from the demon world."
"eyesore" refers to something unpleasant to look at, like really ugly or something. that might be what was meant, but from the rest of the context it doesn't seem to fit to me.

"Human's can never be understood" should probably be just humans.

Thanks for the comment and proofread Himemo. The part where it said eyesore was because that was what the literal translation was, but I changed it to disgrace since that can cover a wider range. I also tried to improve the flow of the translation so I'm glad you think that was good too!

I think any word can be used if it means the same thing in japanese. lol, Like papa or daddy, dad, father and so on... whatever makes it flow. I guess I should start posting some trans myself, great way to learn the language.
