I like the first version better.
Come with us, Musashi, I've prepared a meal. Or: we've prepared a meal. I think it flows a bit better.
Even though we did know who would have killed whom. Again, I think the flow is better without the "just about".
I think it should be "Even though we had an idea about who would have killed whom"
And I don't see what's particularly wrong with a meal having been prepared, but I can go with "we've prepared a meal". How about "A meal has been prepared for us." ? Scratch that, looking at the Japanese, "We've prepared a meal" would sound better I suppose.
There's nothing wrong with it, I'm just partial to active rather than passive sentences. A matter of taste, I guess. Passive would work best to give the language a more "antique" flavor. Since I don't know Japanese, the call is entirely yours.
I see. Lemme think... "Even though we (both) could guess who would have killed whom." "Even though we (both) had a feeling on/we could guess who the winner would have been." How does that sound? Am I distancing my suggestions too far from the original text?
Who's "we" here? Kouetsu and Musashi? Cause this phrase sounds to me like it needs either an I or an we both (that's why I put both between parenthesis).
That phrase is Musashi talking to himself, (and by extension Kojiro), saying that the two of them pretty much knew the outcome of the fight.
Ok, then, how does this sound?
"A meal has been prepared. Come with us, Musashi." Because if I understand it correctly, Musashi is being invited to a meal that hasn't been prepared especially for him. Or am I wrong? If I'm wrong then:
"Come with us, Musashi, we have prepared a meal." Without the "we've" it's still a bit "antiquated".
Or if you want to use your original version, go with that. It's entirely your call.
Then how about this: "Even though we could both guess who would have been the likely winner."
I'm still not sure on that next one though, since they didn't use anything close to winner, he was talking about who would have won (I meant to say kill here, as that's the exact verb they used).
How about:
"Even though we could both guess who would have killed whom."
Sounds good to me. :)
