#192 | Kouetsu and Myoshu1

京の町はひとつの噂で大騒ぎとなっていた
The capital city is in an uproar over one rumor.

Page 70-71
吉岡清十郎が斬り殺されたらしい!!
I heard Yoshioka Seijuro was cut down!!

なにっ!?
What!?

嘘だろう
That can't be true.

誰に!?
By who!?

あの牢人にだ
By that rounin...

近頃よくその名を聞く
The one whose name you hear a lot these days.

武蔵か!?
Musashi!?

そう
That's the one.

宮本武蔵という牢人に!!
By the rounin Miyamoto Musashi!!

武蔵って言やあ
Speaking of him...

吉岡の次男坊伝七郎との決闘が決まっていたあいつか
He has a duel with Yoshioka's second son, Denshichiro...

確かもうすぐだろう
It's coming up soon I think.

その前に当主である兄貴をぶった斬っちまったっていうのか!!
So Musashi killed the family head before his duel!!

こいつは吉岡としちゃ黙っちゃいられねえぞ・・・!!
Yoshioka can't keep quiet about something like this...!!

ちょっと待てよ
Hang on there.

清十郎は病死と聞いたぞ
I heard Seijuro died of sickness.

なんでも生まれながらの不治の病だったとか
Some kind of incurable illness he'd had since birth.

阿呆ゥ、そんなの嘘に決まってんだろう
You moron, that can't be true.

仮にも吉岡道場の当主がだよ?
You must be joking when you say that.

近頃、売り出し中の剣客とはいえ、一介の牢人者に斬り殺されたなんてよ
A mere rounin couldn't defeat him, even if he has been pretty much a sword for sale lately.

世間に知られるわけにいかねえだろう
The rest of the world can't know about that.

Page 72
どっちにしても当主とは名ばかりの女のようなヤサ男だったって言うしな、遅かれ早かれ・・・
Everyone said he was as gentle as a woman, the household head only in name. Sooner or later someone like that will be...

名うての遊び人とだろ?
Wasn't he kind of a playboy?

えてして名門の跡継ぎってのはそういうものよ
In the end all heirs to noble families are.

実際、本当に強いのは弟の方だろう
I bet his little brother was actually the stronger of the two.

いやいや!
No, no!

お前ら何も知らんな
You guys don't know a thing.

それは仮の姿で清十郎ってのは本当は先代をも凌ぐ天稟を持った達人だと聞いたぞ!
I heard that was just an act, and that Seijuro was actually a master with natural talents surpassing even those of his predecessors.

おいおい
Well,

一体どっちが本当なんだ?
What is the truth then?

噂は噂を呼び、そして
Rumors gave birth to more rumors, and then...

Page 73
武蔵
Musashi...

ひい・・・
Eeek...

カンベンしてくれ
Please forgive me.

物騒だな、正月から斬ったはったかよ
Kind of dangerous, killing people in January.

とばっちりだけはやめてくれよ・・・
So we'll just make him stop...2

武蔵ってのはどこにいる!?
Where the hell is this Musashi!?

Page 74
俺を武蔵と闘わせろ!!
Let me fight this Musashi!!

一介の牢人者が気取って隠れてちゃいけねえぜ
A mere rounin shouldn't go about putting on airs and then hide away!

出てこいや、武蔵!
Show yourself, Musashi!

今や武蔵を倒せば世間の注目が一気にそいつへ向くというもの
The world's attention would fall upon any man who could defeat Musashi now...

確かに倒される前に俺が武蔵の首をとってやる
I will most definitely have his head before anyone else defeats him.

吉岡の看板の価値が地に落ちたのは確かだ
The Yoshioka name has lost its value.

それよか武蔵の首だ
But first, Musashi's head.3

うまくいきゃあ吉岡から褒美がもらえたりしてな!
If it all ends well we could even be rewarded by the Yoshioka!

ははは
Hahaha!

そりやあいい!
That'd be nice!

Page 75
おい!
Hey!

あ?
Huh?

ちょっと歩こうか
Let's take a walk.

あん?
Hmm?

誰だいおめーは
And just who are you?

いいから
Nevermind that,

その辺歩こうや
Let's just take a walk.

うお!!斬りやがった・・・!!
Whoa, he killed him...!!

Page 77
吉岡十剣の一人、三池十郎左衛門と申す
I am one of the Ten Swords, Miike Jurozaemon!4

行き掛かり上一介の素浪人をやむを得ず斬った
I was forced to behead this mere lowly rounin against my will.

これでまず不問であろうよ
Let's call this one ignorance.

吉岡が何だって?
Now, what were you saying about the Yoshioka?

早急に手を打たねばならんな
You must strike quickly.

このままでは世間に笑われる
Otherwise the world will laugh at you.

Now all you need to do is choose a master for it.

Whose katana is it?

うん・・・まあね・・・
Yeah, well...

江戸より研ぎの依頼が来ております
This comes from Edo, a request to have it sharpened.

ん・・・徳川様か、これからも御贔屓にしてもらいなさい
Hmm... Lord Tokugawa? I hope you stay in favor with him.

The Hon'ami family is a peaceful one.

I've already withdrawn from that line of work.

ご理解いただきなさい
Please understand.

あっ、にげた
Ah, he ran away!

Did something happen?

母様ほどのお方が血相を変えるようなことが?
Something that could make even your face change color, mother?

吉岡清十郎・・・
Yoshioka Seijuro...

ならばあの若者が宮本武蔵殿
So then that young man is Miyamoto Musashi.

その御仁、お姿を見かけませんが、どうなされていますか
I never saw him, but what is going on?

静かなもんです
It's so quiet.

Page 84
三日三晩眠りっぱなしです

Ruffians who want to raise their status will furiously call out,

「武蔵はどこだ」と息巻いているし

The Yoshioka will also begin to search with much the same fervor.

They'll get wind of us here sooner or later and come marching in, and when they do...

まあ
Well.

アウア
A-wah.

Chapter End.


1Not entirely sure on this name. I know there's a Myouei in the series, but I'm not sure that's what these characters spell out.
2Not sure of the translation of this and the line before it.
3Not entirely sure of the それよか
4What do they call the ten swords in Viz? Juken perhaps?



Jesus that is a bunch of text. Way too much talking in this one. Why can't we stick to Kojiro/Musashi-centric chapters. Those two don't talk very much.[br]Posted on: June 28, 2006, 03:13:44 PM_________________________________________________And done.

Which one could be the truth?

Suggestion: What is the truth then? I think it flows a bit better.
Quote:

Suggestion: Rumors gave birth to more rumors. Again, it feels more natural to me.

Quote:

I'd add an "and" for more emphasis. "and when they do"

Quote:

To my knowledge there's never been a character with this name in the series until now. Maybe it's the old lady. Is it a woman's name?

Quote:
4What do they call the ten swords in Viz? Juken perhaps?
Nothing like this appeared in Viz before. I'll look some more just in case. But I think the line is reffering to the guy being one of the senior disciples of Yoshioka school.

While I understand your feelings, I'm glad of the whole lot of text. It's interesting. The last two chapters have been rather boring imo (or maybe I'm just sick of Musashi's endless whining) not to mention crappily drawn, compared to the rest. Plus, we get Kojiro's first written words. :tem Now that calls for a celebration. I've been dying to know what was going on in those two pages ever since I saw the raw.

Kojiro says something??? that is a cause for celebration indeed.

Posted on Jun 28, 2006
I'd break open a casket of fine wine or something but you're a minor, Neo, so... :tem

Kojiro's first spoken word (except for the Ahhs and the Auuhs and the Guhhs) was Jii-ai, that is Jisai.

Now why am I not surprised to hear that? Maybe because I was 17 myself a while back.
Well, there's a responsible adult in the thread, so don't think you'll get away with it, young man. :notrust

Sorry for hijacking the thread, zindryr.

You can just delete the posts anyway, zindryr. Anyway, enough of this talk.

Don't worry about it, and no Kojiro said nothing. He wrote it. So you both lose! Well, not really Siedhr so much as he actually said written word. Not to mention reading older written Japanese is somewhat of a pain. In any case those modifications look good. I'm going to leave the Ten Swords translation as is because that's what he called himself, I am going to assume it is what they call the senior disciples. It's reminiscent of the Rurouni Kenshi Kyoto saga where Shishio has his Juppongatana (Ten Katana) group around him.

And I found out that Myouei is a different character, and that this is actually the name of Kouetsu's mother, though I don't know how to pronounce the two characters yet.

The other changes look good, adding them in.

BOO! boo to kojiro. He needs to start thinking at least, jeez.
#9. by zindryr (誰も知らない)
Posted on Jun 29, 2006
Well the fact that he can write means that he can think. In any case since I don't know the name of Kouetsu's mother from the characters I'm going to guess it is either Taehide or Myoushu(u). I'm leaning more towards Myoushu judging from the naming style of the family to use Chinese pronounciation, but I won't know until I actually see some damn furigana for the name.
#10. by NeoShweaty ()
Posted on Jun 29, 2006
No you fail to see what i meant by it. I mean he should have thought bubbles so we can see what he thinks.
#11. by zindryr (誰も知らない)
Posted on Jun 29, 2006
Oh I know what you meant by it. I'm just saying he can think. But he can't think with sounds we'd understand, so hah.
#12. by NeoShweaty ()
Posted on Jun 29, 2006
:p

why do you have to be right?
#13. by zindryr (誰も知らない)
Posted on Jun 29, 2006
Oh hell yes I am good. Just did some clever Google searching and found out that it is indeed Myoshu. (lit. Myoushuu)

For #3, try translating それよか as if it were それより(も) and see if it makes sense in the context of the chapter. Maybe translating it as "more importantly/more important than that is."

I've read it all again and everything looks good. "applies quality stamp"

And by the way, I'm a "she". :tem

Posted on Jun 29, 2006
That's what I thought it was, (and what I had originally translated it as but changed it, damn brain). Thanks, I'll work on the line.


And so you are. I just assume there aren't any females on the internet. I don't generally make a mistake as much.
