佐々木光次郎　こと本位伝又八・・・
Sasaki Koujiro, formerly Hon'iden Matahachi...
かつてこの吉岡道場に足を踏み入れた道場破りの輩と同様
He once walked into our dojo and challenged the Yoshioka.
頭を倍くらいに腫らし　腕一本足一本を折られた姿で加茂川に投げ捨てて参りました
His head was swollen with pride, so we broke one of his arms and one of his legs, then threw him into the Kamogawa river.
今頃どこかの堰にひっかかっておる頃でしょうな
He's probably caught in a dam somewhere now.
ククク
Heheheh.
それだけか?
Is that all?
は?
Huh?
えー・・・
Err...
それと左の太指を斬り落としておきました
We also cut off the thumb of his left hand.
二度と剣を振れぬよう
He will never swing a sword again.
Page 15
小次郎の方の行方は知れぬか?
And do we know anything of Kojiro's whereabouts?
そ・・・そちらの方はどこかの城にでもかくまわれたかというくらい
We-... Well, we believe he is holed up in a castle somewhere, that's all.
杳として知れずでして・・・
We have no ideas as to where he may be...
ふ~
Phew.
植田先生当主になられてがぜん風格を感じる
Master Ueda's gotten pretty intense since he became the household master.
いや　もともとそれだけの器がおありだ
No, he has always had that.
これまでは御兄弟を立てて一歩下がっておられただけのこと
He's always been standing one step behind the brothers until now.
Page 16
どうしょう　ウソがバレたら
What should we do, if the lie gets out,
又八をとり逃がしたなんて知れたら太指くらいじゃすまんぞ　俺たち
that we let Matahachi slip through our fingers, not even our thumbs will be enough of an apology.
うわ~
Whoa.
酒!
Sake!
ぬるいのを一本!!
Give me a warm one!!

So now he's beaten Seijuro and Denshichiro one right after the other.
宮本武蔵か・・・
Miyamoto Musashi...
この時世に漢がいたもんだ
I never knew such a man could exist.
俺の同郷だ・・・
He's from my village.
友達だ・・・
He's my friend...

The wakizashi that sliced Denshichiro's belly was his own.
Did you foresee that would happen and prepared for it?
I like your original translation.
We, the Yoshioka, are now inseparably bound to you, Musashi.
Was I not the winner?
The spiral of death and killing... (this was used in Viz, there's an entire chapter about it).
His head was swollen with pride, so we broke one of his arms and one of his legs, then threw him into the Kamogawa river.
Matahachi is left-handed?
Prepare, not prepared.
So do I, heh, but I'm not certain it's entirely accurate. It is as far as I can tell though.
I like victor instead of winner, (typo'ed it as victory).
No, but a katana is, traditionally, two handed. And without the left hand, it is hard to swing a blade accurately.
Though I guess he could be left handed.
All fixed.
Lol, you're right, totally skipped my mind.
So it's done then.
Actually, "prepared" was correct as Kurando was speaking in the past tense...I think
...but that's just a nit pick.
Thanks for the translation.
"Did you foresaw that would happen and prepared for it?"
Notice how that sounds absolutely wrong?
It's like saying, "Did you prepared?" It's the same thing. So no, prepared in that place is incorrect.
Taken apart, the sentence would basically break down to "Did you forsee what would happen?" and "(Did you) prepare for it?"...one continuous thought with the "Did you" in parentheses being implied. Read this way, the 'Did you' converts both 'forsee' and 'prepare' into the past tense. However, the fact that the "did you" is only implied makes it sound strange if the person reading isn't on the same wavelength. For instance, if a reader were to interpret the line as "Did you forsee what would happen?", and "(You) prepared for it?", two distinct thoughts while using conversational grammar (which is almost never gramatically correct), the use of the present tense on "prepare" would seem strange.
But like I said, it was just a nitpick, and one I wasn't sure of to begin with. Sorry for needlessly kicking up dust.
