Page 00
Cover of Morning. Good cover this time.
Page 01
時間を・・・
You're saying...
くれるというのか
You'll give me more time?
俺に・・・
For me to...
時間は誰にも平等だ
Time passes the same for everyone.
俺にも
Even for me.
Page 02-03
一年・・・
One year...
時は磨き、そして裏切る。
Time refines, and time betrays.
Page 04
同じ一年
The same year.
わずか一年なのに・・・
A mere year...
はるかな昔に仰ぎ見た相手のように見えるよ
I see you now as though I were looking at you from a distant past.
伝七郎
Denshichiro.
Page 05
お前とはもう分かり合えない
I can no longer understand you.
Page 06
思えば
Looking back,
一年前の俺は田舎者丸出しだったなあ
I was just a crude hick one year ago.
今もじゃ!!
You still are!!
Page 07
恐れもなく失うものもなかったが気負いがあった
I feared nothing. I had nothing to lose. Yet I had my fighting spirit.
京の吉岡に挑むという気負い・・・
The spirit to challenge the Yoshioka...
熱り立った心
And a quick temper.
それが俺の自体を固くし懐を浅くし
That toughened me up, sharpened me up.
その分、伝七郎、お前は十分に踏み込むことができた
You were able to step into that part of my life nicely, Denshichiro.
その結果・・・
And the result...
Page 08
三日三晩彼岸をさまよった
I lay restless for 3 days and 3 nights. (Extra, "I lay restless for 3 days and 3 nights in a week of Buddhist services.")
あれから一年
It's been a year since then.
あの日よりも半歩・・・間合が遠い
You're half a step further away now... compared to back then.1
Page 09
それでは斬れん
You cannot kill me.
やめにしねえか
Shall we call off the fight?
伝七よう
Denshichiro.
Page 10
さあああああっ
Haaaaaaaaaaah!
Page 11
どうしてそんな声を出す
Why are you yelling like that?
その方が剣術らしく見える?
Is that how you should be swinging your sword?
肉の強張り
The way you stiffen your muscles,
剣の起こり
move your sword.
Page 12-13
届かねえ
Your sword isn't reaching you.
何も届いてこねえ・・・
So you will never reach me...
仕損じたっ
He missed!
何のっ、再度一の太刀を
That's twice he's missed with his strike!
圧してるのは伝七郎の方だ!!
Denshichiro is pressuring him!!
お前の剣の目的は何だ
Why do you wield a sword?
形を整え、もっともらしく・・・
So it can take shape, and become more...
剣術らしく見せるための剣
more of a sword to show off your swordmanship.
Page 14
何も聞こえてこねえ
But you can't hear it.
Page 15
斬ったか!?
Did he get him!?
いや
No.
惜しいっ
Close.
ハアッ
Haah.
俺の間合を保つ
I must keep this distance.
俺のギリギリの間合は届かぬ距離
Just enough distance so that he can't touch me.
そこで闘う!!
My fight is there!!
よく降るな・・・
It's really coming down...
Page 16
京では・・・
Does it...
毎年、こんなに雪が降るのか?
Snow this much every year in the capital?
ソゥアアア
Saaaaaaah!
聞こえんのか、伝七郎?
Can't you hear it, Denshichiro?
Page 17
その刀の声が
The voice of your sword.
待て
"Wait."
待ってくれ
"Just wait."
まっとうに使ってくれれば・・・
"If you would just use me properly..."
斬れないものなどないのに
"There would be nothing to stand in our way."
すまねえな
I'm sorry.
Page 18
No Text.
Page 19
何故今終わらせない?
Why don't I end it?
Page 20
待て!!
Stop!!
待て待てっ!!
Stop right there!!
ハア
Haah.
ハッ
Hah.
いけるっ!!
You can do it!!
圧してますぞ!!
You're pressuring him!!
Page 21
嫌だったら逃げたっていいのよ
It's fine to run away,
斬り合いなんて
if you don't want to fight the duel.
刀はただ人を斬る為だけに在る刃物
A sword is just a sharp tool solely for killing.
Page 22
刀は刀をやめることはできない
A sword can not stop other swords.
Page 23
すーっ
*hihhhh* (Breathing in)
いけるっ
You can do this.
ふーっ
*fuhhhh*
闘いに勝ってその先へ行くつもりだった
I had only planned to win this fight and live on.
だが、多くは望めないようだ
But, it seems I can't hope for as much.
Page 24
〝その先〟は捨てた・・・!!
I've thrown away my chance to "live on"...!!
『バガボンド』#217は次号第47号に登場!
"Vagabond" #217 will be released in the next issue, #47!
1Not exactly sure. Any help other translators?
Enjoy. (Side note, pretty rough translation. I told myself, I'll translate it tomorrow. Then I said, I'll just transcribe the text. Then I said, oh hell, it's already transcribed. I'll just translate it. I'll look it over tomorrow.)

I don't get what "time refines" means.
I think there's no need for the "single" here. Unless I'm missing its point.
I think "A mere year..." works better.
I'd go for "shaped me up" here instead of "trimmed the fat". I get what you're trying to do with it, but I think the meaning here is closer to "refined his skills".
I don't get the connection between this phrase and the rest. Is Denshichiro speaking here?
A lot has happened... since that day.
Is this: "You cannot kill me"? Or "You cannot let me live"?
Shall we stop this?
I think this could use some rephrasing. "a sword able to show the extent of your swordmanship/skill" or something like that.
Just enough distance so that he can't touch me.
Change? Maybe chance.
Okay. Done.
I'm not quite sure I see that as any different from using it in the first place. If you have a translator to do it, then shouldn't he be able to translate it on his or her own anyway? I'd prefer it if you didn't use it at all.[br]Posted on: October 14, 2006, 12:37:09 AM_________________________________________________
It means that with the passing of time, one's skill improves. Time refines ability, in a more verbose phrase. But I think the sentence works fine the way it is.
Works.
How about: sharpened me up.
Sounds better to me.
How about: "You were able to step into that part of my life nicely, Denshichiro."
I believe Musashi is talking about how Denshichiro stepped in and slashed Musashi across the chest.
Can't kill him. Of course it is kind of ambiguous to me whether or not Musashi is saying he can't kill Denshichiro or Denshichiro can't kill him. I'll need to take a look again.
The more literal translation of the sentence is: "a sword to show off what swordsmanship is."
I included the 'more' to show a link to the previous sentence.
Either or.
Then how about "more of a sword to show off your swordmanship".
I agree with everything else.
