Air Gear 216

And 216. One thing is that while I was credited in the 216 scanslation for its translation, that was because I gave FH my translation late, so they used another translation and maybe used a little bit of mine. However, the chapter on the whole was NOT my translation, and if you care to compare, you will see drastic differences. All this to say, I just don't want to be associated with something that I didn't and wouldn't do..

Anyhow, here's MY translation for Air Gear 216.

Air Gear Trick 216 -

I will separate by bubbles and it will be indicated with a new line with a “=” sign in the beginning of the line. If it’s not in a bubble, then it will begin with a “++”

++ Kogarasumaru dashes! Dashes with their eyes on the Old Sleeping Forest, the former top of the A.T. world!


Sora
= We wouldn’t lose in terms of cooperation

Page 3
Sora:
= We’re invincible in strict close combat
= Well... even if it comes down a sprint battle, we’d be fine pretty much, right?

Kilik:
= ...By that logic, probability losing would be 0.

Sora:
= Of course.

Spit Fire:
= But this “A Class” is the same as that

= The direction of the contest
= Becomes unknown as to which way it goes with just the direction of the wind

= That’s exactly why it’s fun

Page 4:
Agito:
= This emblem
= From here on, the one who puts this on is the “Panther”
= After getting the balloon, we’ll prove it to the other side by showing this
= -But!!
= Everyone act as though you indeed have this on yourself!!

Box 1:
3 minutes before start of contest

Box 2:
“Panther” dies immediately if found out!! Otherwise, the defeat of the team!!

Box 3:
Maybe if against a small-fry team, but if attacks of 6 “Kings” are concentrated on one, there’s no way to stop it

Page 5:
Emiri:
= “....Therefore the riskiest and most important...”
= ....That’s what it says.... but if you look at this guide book, aren’t the other positions similar, too?

Buccha:
= Guide book? You had something like that!?

Emiri:
= Yeah... that otaku guy gave it to me
(tn: Falco puts だわ at the end of all of his sentences... it’s one of those things you can do with the Japanese language, but there is really no way to translate that unless you try to make it all girly and creepy at the same time, but I won’t waste my time with that -_-)

Onigiri:
= Indeed my pupil... He has way too little slips for girls..

Agito:
= That’s right... with respect to degrees of danger
= It’s rather almost the case that it’s higher for the other positions

= The “Decoy” is a bait to concentrate the opponents’ attention and attacks to himself, but... he’ll eventually run out of strength and
= Die
= The “Ultimate”’s job is to charge straight on, and the “Keeper”’s job is to constantly receive the enemies’ attacks to protect his side.
= Both will eventually run out of strength and – die

Page 6:
Ikki:
= “One for all... all for one”
= “All dies for the one ‘Panther’”...... eh (tn: Panther is written Victory)

Emiri and Onigiri:
++ That means... me, too?
++ Me, too?

Kazu:
= Whichever way... you go as if to die, and then it’s barely comparable
= Against those guys (tn: written the Old Sleeping Forest)

= Decide, Ikki

Page 7:
Kazu:
++ Our deaths
++ You
++ -Decide them...!!

Page 8 & 9:
Spit Fire:
= In order to single out the “Panther”... It’s the most basic and simplest way
= “Hunt from those you can hunt first”

++ The one separated from the pack
++ The one with a big opening

++ Delete!!!

Page 10 & 11:
Buccha:
= Bu---rn U--~p!!!!

Dontores:
= Gowa!?

++ He... came back to protect his ally
= Hmph... You’re... the “Keeper”, huh

Buccha:
= Mm!!

Page 12:
Dontores: (tn: really don’t think I need to translate this... -_- He makes this sound at the end of all of his sentences, btw, like Falco with his “dawa”)

= Nn~~~ A Be Unsatisfactory as the “Keeper” against my attacks!!

= Nu!?

Emiri:
= ....
= The “Keeper” ... doesn’t!! Have to be just one pers.....
= on!!

Page 13:
Dontores:
= There were two “Keepers”!!
++ .... Mu.. even though she’s a girl... what strength!!

Kazu:
= Nah
= Not two, either

= By the way... if the “one separated from the pack” is hunted down first thing...
= Aren’t you exactly that right now?

++ One for all “One person for the sake of all”
++ All for one “Everyone for the sake of one person”

Ikki:
= We are coming out “alive”

Page 14:
++ Kill one with everyone!!!

Page 15:
Ikki:
= What I decided
= wasn’t... “all dies for one person”...
= It’s - “Everyone survives for everyone”!!

Dontores:
= Grrrr...

Rika:
= Do... Dontores-!?

Sora:
= It’s fine, it’s fine (heart) Let’s hurry on while we can

= Hey, see, Kilik
= I figured a “chummy team” like that would come at us with this

Kilik:
= I thought perhaps they were a brighter team... but who would’ve thought they would choose the tactic with the lowest winning probability of “Full Defense Type”...
= (small font) In the 10 point range

Rika:
= Sora.... Wait....

= Don’t tell me you... to confirm that...
= Had Dontores charge...?

Sora:
= ... Yeah
= Are you worried?

Page 16:
Sora:
= It’s OK (heart) I won’t use you like that
= You’re my special woman

Rika:
= You.. You’re wro...What I’m... worried about is....

Sora:
= Let’s go... That’s an order from the leader

Kilik:
= Falco... Is this really the correct way?
= We’re quite... deep inside..

Falco:
= Huh? (tn: Chose that over “dawa?” since that probably has even less meaning for you)

Rika:
++ Sometimes... Sora looks at me with very kind eyes

++ But that gaze is... somehow...
++ Rather than looking at a person, it’s more like...
++ ....somewhat....

Writing on box: A nice person, please love me

Page 17:
Agito:
= Support was late!! Make it 5 seconds faster!! Fuck!!

= ....You’re sure relaxed.... You know we got pretty far behind from them because of you..
= You wanna die!?

Emiri:
= No, th... that’s not it..!!

= So.... Something.... here
= Can’t see it... something like a wall? .... is here....
= (small font) Can’t go on....

Sora:
= Well... I’m sure Dontores is all cheery and excited, too
= That fool – he looks like that, but he’s our biggest show-off, after all~

Page 18:
Dontores:
= It’s the long...
= After-concert live solo!!

++ All of you, don’t hold back
++ Come disco!! (tn: I don’t really know what he’s saying, but since he’s talking about a live concert and all, I figured it might be a musical reference. Also likely to be talking about the “disc” part of a DJ.)
