Bleach 285
bleach ch 285
Hmm...bored from studying.
Here's some bleach since I don't see anyone's trans up.
I'm kind of doing this for speed practice & I'm going for more fluidity in english. Let's see how it turns out.
01
left - WHA!? We're not in Las Noches?! Where's Grimjaw? Orihime? We interrupt to bring you this commercial!!
-Huh?
-What're you doing?
-More importantly, why the heck are you all drawn so poorly?
-Ichigo!
-Don't you think we're being neglected?
-Don't ask me...(cut off)
-Exactly!
-The 13th squad hasn't appeared lately! To all you who want to see us, we have good news!
-All of the color pictures of the shinigami you've come to know and love that have appeared in V-Jump up until now have been collected into one volume called "KalaBuli"!! (t/n this is most likely an abbreviation for "color bleach")
-We'll call down divine judgment on whoever doesn't buy it!!
-don't buy it!!
-There's no such thing as divine judgment anyway
-COME FORTH!!
sfx - boing
sfx - hyoooooo (sound of something falling...)
02
author top right - Kubo Taito
03
left: Divine judgement is here!!
bottom: details for KalaBuli on the next page! The story continues on the page after the next!
04
-Wha...
-What the heck
-is that!?!
left: Cornered! But Ichigo is all the more fearless!
05
"Desgarrón" - (spa. for "tear" as ripping, not crying. Thx fires).
06
-This is my...
-Most powerful attack!!
07
285 - 肉喰みて、ひとり / 王の孤独
= Devouring**, alone / the solitude of the king
(there is some furigana on the left part of the title there, i can't read it in the raw so this is just my guess.
Also - you may want to change king because of the line on page 14...)
08
-What did you say?
-It's time to give up
-Is what I said
-I've finally realize
-We can't become Vasto Lorde
-Ever since we've fed on more than one thousand hollows I've failed to sense any increase in strength
-This prey is the 3,000th
-I know it's pointless to try this any more
-Forget you then
-If you want to give up, then you can just roll over and die for all i care
-I'm going on ahead
-Sure
-We don't care
-but, if you're going to go, then...
09
-Consume us before you leave
-同属のホロウに一部でも体を食われたものは
Once another hollow has eaten even a part of your body ** (feeling unsure of this line)
-Your evolution stops right then and there
-Dei Roi has already lost his chance to become a Vasto Lorde
-I already realize that
-Our chance to evolve ends here
-You're all cowards
10
悟ったと言ったはずだ
-I know I've already told you
-ヴァストローデになれるものとそれ以外とは
As to whether one can become Vasto Lorde, or one can't...
恐らく只のホロウである頃
-It may reach as far back to when we were just hollows
いや或いは更に以前から分かたれているのだと
-No, maybe even father back than that, we've already been predestined (t/n - the lit word here is separated. i believe he's trying to say it's out of their control, this is the best i can think of although it may not be technically correct.)
そう悟ったのだ
-This is what I've come to believe
-From the moment we became Hollows
-We were meant to be Adjuchas
-But you were meant to go beyond us
-Go ahead and eat us
-Grimjaw
13
-This is it, Kurosaki!!
black: You make me sick.
-You can't defeat me!
14
-Every one of you are nothing but cowards
-Fine.
-I'll devour all of you
-You'll become a part of me. And then, you can see what lies ahead.
-That I...
-I will become a god!! (t/n - other suggestions include "I am supreme" or "I will surpass everything" etc. original word here is "king", but i don't feel it is a good fit. thx for the suggestion, FluugMacMan)
15
-...you...
16
てめえだけが
勝ちてえ訳じゃねえんだ ** unsure
You think you're the only one
that wants to win?
何だと
-...what?
てめえ言ったよな
-I know you said it
俺が
手始めだって
Back at the beginning
That I...
俺もそうだ
-was the same as you
-ch...!!
17
-Well you were right.
-I did come here to fight you
18
-And to
-defeat you, grimjaw!!
-I'll defeat you!!
19
-And Uruqiola!
-And Aizen!!
-Then, I'll take Rukia,
-Chad
-Ishida
-Renji
-And Inoue back with me!!
-So I can't...
20
-I can't let it end here,
-Grimjaw!!
21
背負った過去
超えるべき壁
未来をとつかみ取るために
まけられない!!
With all he's faced in the past,
And with all the trials he's overcome,
In order to take hold of his future,
He can't lose!!

I have to admit, bleach is extremely challenging to fit the bubbles because the way the sentences are broken up does not allow a literal english translation.

I think is Vasto Lorde...
And:
"Hollow that was bitten by other hollow could never change their status even if it was a small part.
And about Grimjaws Attack: Desgarrón? It is the spanish for Claw or super claw..xD
How about:
"I am the ONE"
or
"I am the chosen one" -a little liberal.
or
"I am the ultimate being" -really liberal.
or
"I am the shizel" -gangsta liberal.
or
"I will become a god" -my personal preference, since it captures his utter disgust with anyone looking upon him thinking they have a chance. This one is my real suggestion.
Under 09
The spelling is Vasto Lorde
Under 10
The spelling is Adjucas
Thanks for saving the day with your translation
Does that sound correct?
I posted my translation on MangaShare but I wasn't sure if I had everything right. Thanks for helping me understand a bit better.
A quick disclaimer - I am not native, nor do I claim to be fluent, so this is just my opinion.
Here's the line you're talking about plus the part on the page prior:
てめえ一人に
敗ける訳にはいかねえんだよ!!
Which literally, if pieced out, would be - You/alone/to be defeated/reason/cannot allow
now why did i trans the way i did? It all lies in context and the way I chose to take "wake in wa ikenai". If you just do a google translate or look up on JEDICT, one will probably find "impossible to do", so logically in this phrase one might think this means "it's impossible for me to lose to". And so, I should add that what you have is not incorrect.
But I chose to attack this differently. I felt that from context the focus here is on the reasons why ichigo can't lose, not simply in who he can't lose to. In fact I should also mention that the "wa" is after "makeru wake ni", so the topic marker is clearly emphasizing the reasons...not the clause in the beginning about "you alone", which modifies the verb.
And that's why I chose "I can't let it end here" - as to emphasize the consequences of failure. Ichigo is stressing what he has yet to accomplish and how much rides on him. Plus, given the little 4 line outro, I felt this point was reinforced.
As I'm beginning to learn more and more, translation isn't simply about plugging and chugging words in the place of others, but rather a kind of detective work where you have to read in-between the lines and find what the true focus of the text is. It's true even in day to day speech - what motivates us to say what we do? If we can understand that, then we can come up with a much more useful way to express the same thought in our language.
