Air Gear 211

--- Old trans I did for Franky-House while they were doing AG... only 3 chapters, but for whoever wants to read my translations I did this one, 215, and 216. Use it if you want, just credit me and let me know you're using it, please :)

Air Gear 211 (No chapter title)

[Page 1]
Led by the fresh-blooded moon, teams of tournament competitors gather!
What are the extents of their abilities-..?

Look, Ja-baa (tn: perhaps “Granny Ja” if you prefer that)

The moon is crimson

[Page 2]
Ha
Haa
Zee
Buha
(tn: different sounds of panting... first two being more or less normal, third one is harder panting, and the last is something like a gasp when you come out of water to grab air... In other words, the guy’s really worn out :D)

Moron, ‘the hell are you doing, brat
I’ll hit you

Wai.. Time-out
We just got here, and....

[Page 3]
And that’s the gong of battle, newbie boy
(tn: the だから part has the connotation that the speaker’s statement should be a well-known fact, but the newbies just don’t know it... poor guys :D)

Highway Circus
Class: A
Tournament entries: 4
Best record: Round 3
[Cannon-ball style team whose area is the city highways. Top speed reaches up to 250 km].

[Page 4]
(tn: Ok, I don’t know how to make the English distorted, but this is what the dude is saying with his maimed face)
I understand
I’ll head over right away

Get off, bitches

Wai... What the hell!
Don’t f*ck around, bastard!

That’s mine~!
Hey, aren’t you taking too much!?

Rotten bills are perfect for wiping your ass (tn: I actually couldn’t figure out what まんはぁ is, but the facts that he’s talking about toilet paper and that he just showered his bitches with 10,000-yen bills (which are the equivalent of 100-dollar bills in US) probably mean that he was talking about money. Oh and what he says in the next page, too.)

[Page 5]
Jiggy
Class: B
Entries: 6
Best record: Round 2
[Professional fighter group. Possesses unparalleled strength in the Cube.]

I’m gonna go get something you can’t get with stuff like that

Is it still going to take more time?

No... I’m done with this...

[ Page 6]
Where’s the opponent for the first round?

“Giga-Giga Eyes” at Iwate

...Touhoku, huh... That’s far...... That’s the first bullet train in the morning...

The lower ranking team goes to the other team’s home...
and on top of that, you’ve got to battle in the category of your opponent’s choice... how unfair, huh

There’s no such thing as a fair battle in life
The one who paints it to his own rules (tn: the kanji 色 is for color) wins (tn: in other words, make THEM play by YOUR rules)

Almite Drop
Class: B
Entries: 1
Best record: Round 1
[All members wear glasses.]

By the way, where does one look on this model to get that painting?

You just don’t understand Yuu’s art.

[Page 7]
This time... Looks like our [dream] will finally be realized

Like, teams that are said to be the favorites to win are going at it against each other
and teams that were treated as the dark horse candidates getting disqualified and...
Like, our-chance-has-come type of thing?

This time, we’re gonna get the [sky Regalia]

[Page 8]
And with that, we’ll rake in pretty boys from around the world and turn this shop into a pretty-boy butler cafe-

Ballooning fantasies of young girls

Leader
You’re the best

We’ll follow you for life~

Material Candy
Class: A
Entries: 3
Best record: Round 1
[Girl A.T. team whose area is the A.T. cafe [Cherry]]

(Text above arrows: This is her.)

Box: Running voices with their appearances during the day

It’s gotta be that, no? Like, blonde and – with super long eyelashes and -

The ones that are blonde down there, too, and with super long *beep*

Oh, not good, I’m starting to drool

Italy’s no good. They’re jaw-droppingly (tn: sorry, that’s most likely not even a word) awesome, but they ignore you afterwards

That’s what’s good! Treated coldly by a pretty boy-
small text: You just don’t understand

I prefer domestic - I also like it on the smaller side -

Uoo – a cherry hunter~~

By the way, leader
What happened to that guy from recently, that annoying one...

Aah – that guy who was hitting on Nami?
Still educating him
I have a video, wanna see?

WOW – his balls must be crushed

But for some reason, a look of ecstasy!!

You’re a natural queen

[Page 9]
Let’s go, Izuna Squad!!

Roar, weaponry of justice!!

Super Muon Catalytic Nuclear Atomic Cannon-!!

[Page 10]
Until we turn all of evil into Fermi particle dust,
Fly, Hard, Trance!! (tn: kind of hard to smoothly translate ぶっとぶ, which is usually the action for villains getting their asses handed to them and literally flying through the air... I was almost tempted to write “Go, go, Trance!”)

Small bubbles:
Hey--
Sh- Sh-

TAKANA

Where do you think you’re going, we’re still filming

Eek!!

I’m sorry, but well, today, well, something came up that I couldn’t drop even if my mom died, and...

Good work, that was the best, Jo-!! Guess what? I think we can take the serial drama in the fall as well (tn: the manager says きいて?, which means she’s literally asking him to listen, but in reality, she’s saying something closer to “Guess what?”)

... and so, about that special feature program... I can cancel it if need be, you know?

This is an important period for you, and... it seems dangerous, and...
And a meal with me...

No, I’ll do it, Saeko-san

Mystery Hero Izuna Squad (Munazu Action Club) & Trance Mask (Odawara Jo)
Class: B
Tournament entries: 1
Best record: Round 1
[big hit TV program’s team that is popular not only with little kids but mothers as well. Their potential is unexpectedly high]

Since I’d like to show the children that Trance Mask is a hero in real life, too.

[Page 11]
I see... As expected from Jo...
small font: I’m ashamed of myself...

TANAKAA

Coverage starting now!! Start moving equipment!!

Hafuaa!?
I didn’t hear anything about that!!

It seems that there’s going to a scale-something A.T. tournament tonight... but no camera’s ever been in it!!
It’s a special sneak coverage of top secret entry of Jo and others... it’s going to be the main attraction of our station’s fall innovation

Saeko-san!
By any chance, is that... the Glam S

Yes, your answer!? Yes!? Or no!?

Only answer allowed from you is yes!!

URYYYY!!!

What the hell is that, you, are you dicking around, Tanaka!!

[Easy Eta] [blow the Beast] [Dig]...
and the other teams I’ve had my eyes on are all entering as one...

and the top teams’ abilities are neck-and-neck... can’t loosen up anywhere, this...

Principal
What’s this number in the corner

It’s none other than the odds (kanji lit: bet magnification)

Orihara-kun

[Page 15]
Sheesh... You...
Are you really an educator...

Ho ho, I of the night
is just A.T.-loving old man Koro

How about you? Here, take a stab at it. This is a jackpot spot. Isn’t it about time you need some funds for your marriage? (tn: 狙い目 refers to a favorable situation, which can be used generally, but 狙い implies that you (figuratively or literally) aim for that result, and it is indeed often used in gambling contexts. Hence, the rough gambling translation)
small font: I know about it, you know?

Mar...!! Wh.. What are you saying, you!!

Honestly speaking, I don’t know if I’ll be able to be of use to you?

Even this A.T., I just pulled it out of the closet where it was gathering dust...

Ho ho

That... good moon will be the witness of everything (tn: He literally says Moon-sama, but saying “Lord Moon” just doesn’t work -_-)

This night the world will change

[Pages 16-17]
Crimson
Crimson
Moon~~

The forest’s poison dyes the moon

Hey, take a look

The moonlight dyes even the beast’s eyes red

And you will drown to death in the sea of red

[Page 18]
Glam Scale Tournament

Gate open

Sharraaaaaa, I’m burning uuuuuuuppp
Kogarasumaruuu~~~~ Kill ‘em allll

Er--

Yes, yes, kill ‘em all, kill ‘em all
small font: Keep burning and turn into ash

Whoa, such low tension!!
