They were really starting to scoff at the Yoshioka, and then...

奥で一人飲んでいた男が立ち上がった
A man who was drinking by himself in the back stood up.

ありゃあ鬼ですよ
He was a devil.

人じゃねえ・・・
He wasn't human...

吉岡道場の人間か・・・?
One of the Yoshioka...?

だとすると面倒だな
It will be a mess if that's the case.

懐かしい名だ
That's a familiar name.

間合いのつかめない片目だと知られたくはねえな
I don't want him to know that I can't see out of one eye.

何故そいつを斬らん、伝七郎!!
Denshichiro! Why won't you kill him!?

師匠を亡くし錯乱した、その心を
He was deranged by the loss of his master,

どうか御理解頂きたい
Please understand what he's gone through.

ええ・・・まあ斬られた三人も素性の分からぬ牢人者ですし・・・
Well... The three he killed were just rounin with no lineage...

斬った本人も死んだとあっては・・・
And since he himself is dead...

御面倒をかけます
Sorry to have troubled you.

ハア

まあ・・・うちもそんなもんだ
Well... My family's the same.

Heh.

親がいるだけマシだろ
It would have been easier if he had parents.

俺はこいつが大嫌いだった・・・
I really hated him...

俺も・・・
Me too...

好きだった奴はいないさ、この高慢な天狗を
No one really liked him, he was an arrogant devil.

だが、その剣は・・・
But, he was really...

うむ
Yeah.

何度も真似したものさ・・・
I've copied him so many times...

Completely different from one year ago.

伝七郎は今や当主

真っ向勝負をさせるなどあまりに馬鹿げている
A simple head on fight would make us look like fools.

武蔵に失うものはないが、こっちにはありすぎる
Musashi has nothing to lose, whereas we have too much.

We will not risk our family's legacy on a war with one mere rounin!

Quote:
剣にすら愛されぬのか
I'll never be loved by anything but a sword.

おつかれさま~~~

this means that not even his sword loves him.
俺英語すら話せない I can't even speak english

But I searched the net for examples of this and it turns out this quote is quite a big one. Which leads me to think that to this person, his sword was his everything. and when he lost, that that shock was quite big. Not only did he not have anyone love him, but his best friend also betrayed him... まぁその感じ so---
You could translate it like... a bit liberal but...(and not looking at the manga either just based off what I read when I searched :p)

[Was I destined to be] Rejected by everyone... Even my sword?
something like that might work ;)

some blogs about vagabond that might help out (just found them by this search :p)

Blah, figured it was going to be something like that but went the path of the stupid. Heh. Thanks for posting that, took a look at those blogs and figured that I should leave the line somewhat literal. I mean, the rest of the chapter explains more of what he means when everyone is sitting around talking about the fact that none of them liked him.

"Not even my sword loves me..."

I added the "..." to kind of show the disappointment, but I guess it could be without.

Gion Toji, I didn't recognize you. Anyways... You died fast.

By the way, page 156 is part of chapter 195.

Text on the board: Wanted Hon'iden Matahachi

Touji.1

Toji, if you want to go by the Viz translation.

Quote:
Page 169
剣にすら愛されぬのか
Not even my sword loves me...2

Or something like: I'm not even loved by my sword.

Quote:
武蔵に失うものはないが、こっちにはありすぎる
Musashi has nothing to lose, but we have too much to lose.

Musashi has nothing to lose, whereas we have too much. - or something along the lines. I'm not too crazy about repetitions in general.

Quote:
たった一人の牢人者の争いに一門の歴史を懸けてなるものか
We will not risk our family's history on a war with one mere rounin!

How about legacy instead of history? We will not risk our family's legacy on a war with one mere rounin!

Ok. Next please.
