This rawday proved that nothing can keep the wonderful staff of MH to get the fans their raws and scanlations. Give the admins and globals a give hug, guys, they truly deserve it with the work they're doing on the forums :amuse

Anyway, time for translation, though most of you have probably see it already on my temp site, as usual credit if you use.

On a site note : Devil Back Fire or Devil Backfire ? I'd like the opinion of native english speakers on that one :sweat

Eyeshield 21 225th down

Page 01

225th Down : The third eye

Sakuraba : Instead of looking back at the ball
Sakuraba : He's coming right at me
Sakuraba : For an overhead catch...!!
Left : Monta... Reckless !?

Unsui : It's dangerous to jump now, Sakuraba !
Unsui : At this super speed you'll collide in mid-air !!

Page 02-03

Sakuraba : Wooooooooh !

Miracle : Stop, Sakuraba-chan !
Fangirl : You'll get your beautiful face injured !!

Monta : Shit, as I thought
Monta : You jumped without hesitation
Monta : It's vexing but
Monta : You being part of the Tokyo Best Eleven isn't just for show...!

Someone : Ooooh he caught it !
Someone : Really, Sakuraba is so high !!

Onihei : Of course
Onihei : That Monta just can't see
Onihei : A ball that's coming from his back.

Monta : I can't
Monta : see...?
Monta : No, that's wrong.
Monta : Either way...

Monta : I can reach it
Monta : Your hand...!!

Announcer :And it's a Deimon ball !!

Page 07

Someone : Amazing...!
Someone : Monta hit the ball that was coming from his back
Someone : With his arm by chance...!

Sakuraba : Chance...?
Sakuraba : That's wrong.

Sakuraba : It wasn't a movement like that
Sakuraba : Monta
Sakuraba : Saw the ball behind him...!

Onihei : Luck was his friend too, right
Onihei : Good fortune too is an ability
Onihei : It's the win of Monta's spirit...!!

Sakuraba : That's wrong.
Sakuraba : If it's just spirit I can't lose

Sakuraba : With my heart
Sakuraba : I can't
Sakuraba : Lose anymore...!!

Page 08

Hiruma : .........

Hiruma : Hey, fucking monkey.

Hiruma : Just now, you
Hiruma : Without seeing the ball
Hiruma : How could you see it ?

Kurita : You saw...it ?
Sena : Behind you ??
Komusubi : Eye......??

Monta : Well, this... I can't say that I wasn't seeing it.
Monta : I glimpsed at it
Monta : And after that with its trajectory and the wind I knew more or less where it was
Monta : For some reason.

Page 09

Hiruma : .........
Monta : Hm ?
Monta : Did I somehow said something weird ?
Juumonji : Sena, you
Juumonji : Can do that sort of catch ?
Taki : A... A ha ha, if so I want to practice that too...

Musashi : ... After only chasing after balls for 10 years
Musashi : Is that experience ?

Hiruma : Ke ke ke
Hiruma : After practicing like an idiot
Hiruma : An eye grew on your back.

Hiruma : But since you aren't used to Takami's trajectories
Hiruma : You could only flip it at the last moment
Hiruma : You were seeing it at 60%

Hiruma : Then my trajectories
Hiruma : You should see them at 100%.

Page 10

Monta : Well then
Monta : The next play...

Monta : You're saying this time I'll manage to catch
Monta : Hiruma-senpai's super long pass with an overhead catch...?

Hiruma : Oya~ ?
Hiruma : You're not being yourself, fucking monkey-kun.

Monta : Couldn't it be
Monta : That this thrill MAX
Monta : Catch is actually

Monta : My own
Monta : Super special skill...?!!

Hiruma : Ever since you've joined the Devilbats
Hiruma : How many of my passes do you think you've caught ?

Page 11

Hiruma : Exactly
Hiruma : 9999...!

Everyone : ......!!

Hiruma : Ke ke ke, somehow, can't you predict that we'll see it without fail ?
Hiruma : With the next play,
Hiruma : Perfected with that 10.000th one

Hiruma : Your super special skill,

Right and left : The Devil Back Fire...!!! (TradNote : Yup, that's engrish :D)

Page 12

Hiruma : SET !

Musashi : Is that real ?
Musashi : Exactly 9999 just seems...

Sakuraba : This height... I can reach it !
Sakuraba : Alright...

Page 16

Monta : I see it...
Monta : Without turning my body

"Devil Back Fire" is better...

"Devil-Back Fire" should be how it is said :P Similar to "Devil-Bat Ghost", with quick succession of words between the "devil" and the next word to it. Although the " - " is only to denote the speed for the less intuitive people out there and can be taken out in scanlation because " - " looks bad with when typesetting :P o_o

I think Devil Backfire looks cooler
back fire.. just kinda takes away the flair

Devil Backfire sounds dull.

There should be some parallel between Sena's Devil Bat Ghost and Monta's special skill...

Devil Bat Ghost
1 2 3

Devil Back Fire
1 2 3

:P

Yeah, Devil Back Fire sounds so outta place, I thought it was suppose to be Devil Bat ____ for all moves, so I wasn't sure if you messed up the translation or something

I like "Backfire" better.

With "Back Fire" it sounds like an engine about to blow. O_o

It should be "Devil Back Fire" though Devilback Fire sounds more in place... [runningback-->devilback]... lol

Well, only thing I'm sure of is that the "Devil" part is all alone (it's to the right of the fire monkey while the Back+Fire part is to the left).

That's why it's either Back Fire or Backfire :sweat

I'm sure Inagaki created this move just to mess with the translators :oh

Thanks for the translation xophi ;D

Okay, literally speaking.

Backfire =/= Back on fire
Rather, meaning an action set against or upon an object, a person, or a place but rather than achieving its goal, it returns to the doer and bites him in the ass :P

More like that. SO! English-wise, Devil Backfire is TOTALLY WRONG.

Taking the ES21 anime, they pronounce Devil Bat Ghost as Devil Bat Ghost :P 4 syllables. To adhere to the general style and corniness of the mangaka, Devil Back Fire is the most appropriate rendition of the skill, grammatically, logically, and in my personal opinion :P
