Okay, so I’m trying to translate this sign for 165; it’s at Ed’s book signing of blood-inducing handshakes. Any graphic designers out there know a good font to use for it? I was able to blank it in Paint for the most part, but I’ll probably use GIMP to try and add the translation text, so if anyone has any tips for that too, or another program to use, they’d help (I haven’t really used it lol). Thanks in advance!
In which Shou and Inotsume have a… shocking time together. *gets out*
Apologies for the huge delay, folks! I wanted to have the “operation” sign in the doctor’s office translated for this, but since it’s been so long and the-supremeking hasn’t finished it up yet, I thought I’d just upload it as is, and I’ll post the finished hardsub on NAC for download; for the time being, I’ll post the raw and script there. I also finished 165, but I’ll be editing the sign in Ed’s book-signing scene this week for it. Enjoy!
Ryou and Chronos: the revised version of fujiwarayuusuke’s photoset.
Okay, so the-supremeking is working on translating that “operation room” sign I mentioned, and it’s taking a while because he wants to do it really well (he showed me a frame and it looks a lot better than anything I could do kldshfdksljh). While he’s been doing that, I prepped stuff for 165, and I’m figuring I’ll just get 165 all done now for a double-upload with 164 when he’s done. I also want to translate that banner for Ed’s “Sore wa dou ka na?” book (lol), but it’ll be easy enough for me to handle while he finishes up. With any luck, we’ll be good to go by the weekend/early next week for both. Stay tuned!
In which HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE MAN
Apologies for the huge delay, guys! I’d actually finished it up by Thursday, but I had some help translating the card Inotsume shoots at Ryou (with some…interesting results), so special thanks to the-supremeking! So yeah, Ryou accepts his challenge, and we’re gradually shown that that probably wasn’t a good idea. Enjoy, folks!
In which Judai and Asuka get their groove back.
Apologies for the slight delay (hmm… I’m saying that a lot lately…)! 162’s pretty good, we have Judai getting some fun for once, he and Asuka have a good moment, and Asuka decides what she wants to do, too. She also gets a badass smirk moment. Enjoy!
Hey, guys!
Just a quick question: any chance one of you has a transparent version of this Duel Academia logo? Not just the “DA”, but also the little circle around them that reads “DUEL ACADEMY OBELISK BLUE RA YELLOW OSIRIS RED”; I wanted to try translating the little flier that Asuka gets about Kenzan’s party in 161, and I was hoping someone out there in the fandom would have it, since I can’t think of an episode to get a good screencap of it.
If not, guess I’ll improv lol.
In which JUDAI YA LITTLE SHIT
Apologies for the huge delay, but here’s 161! With graduation approaching for the Third-Years, Kenzan puts together a Pair Duel Tournament to spice things up. Enjoy!
Y is syrus back in ra yellow during episode 110 huh.. hUH?? Did I miss something?!
Yeah, kinda, plus I think the dub sorta watered it down too…
See, in 108, before Judai/Jaden got hit hard by the Dis-Belts/Bio-Bands, Shou/Sy went to him with a dilemma he was facing: with the Survival Duels being about winning or losing, he says that’s not what he’s about; he’s more about respecting his opponents through his respectful dueling. But since he wants to inherit the title of “Kaiser” from his brother, he won’t be able to if he can’t win his way through these duels and protect his Blue uniform. Judai can’t really answer him since he’s dueled just for fun, which leads Shou to wonder if he has to duel as passionately as he does, and Judai notes that they’re really different. Disappointed by the answer, Shou runs off, still confused.
Then, while he’s hanging off a cliff, he has the realization that dueling with passion and respecting your opponents weren’t things that shouldn’t mix, which–when Judai’s knocked out and he comes to–leads him to say that, since they’re different, he’ll move on in his own way. He thinks he’s not fit for Blue just yet, so he’ll work his way up to Kaiser from back in Ra Yellow.
Meanwhile, the dub? Syrus is all worried about Viper being evil and Jaden is just “lol nah he’s not out to hurt anyone” (also, Tyranno talking about the “survival of the fittest” in the Survival Duels–what gets Shou thinking–becomes “if you see a pipsqueak besides you let him know I’m on the hunt for him” or something idk). Then Jesse says, “But what happens if he’s right?” *points to everything going up to 136*
And that realization? “Nah, let’s break the fourth wall and have Syrus fantasize about his own spinoff.” And his reason for leaving Blue’s to stay by Jaden’s side and make sure nothing like this happens to him again. A lot of good that does
…Okay, watered it down so much it’s not even there wow
So this is an idea I’ve been mulling over for a while, since I started Season 4: translating the previews’ text (the “PREVIEW” and titles). I mean, since I already translate the OP/EN and the title cards…lol. I was thinking of doing it now starting with 161, so I uploaded this as a test for how it’d look so you guys can check it out. And hopefully tell me the subs aren’t too jarring, lol (I think it might be since I’m just used to seeing the Japanese text there). I might end up making “PREVIEW” a bit bigger, though…
Also, the subs here aren’t final; I might change them as I work on 161 itself. Lemme know what you think!
In which THERE’S ONLY ONE KING!! AND THAT’S–wait
So…forgetting I said it’d be done last weekend, here’s 160 for you! And in an update to what I said in my 159 post, not much more gets found out about the Abandoned Dorm stuff here, lol. Besides it getting blown to pieces Also, Judai realizes something at the end in a cute scene.
Enjoy, folks! :)
Hey guys, sorry about the holdup! I planned to get it done last weekend, but didn’t get a chance to start timing it until Tuesday; I spent most of yesterday timing it and got as far as the turn where Judai tries to use Gran Mole (~13 mins in). It should be done by tomorrow, Saturday latest. :)
In which we see Judai’s best questioning strategy.
Say “hello” to 159, guys! We find out more about Darkness and Fujiwara, along with some more about the Abandoned Dorm stuff that [I think] gets expanded on in 160. Enjoy, folks! :) Expect it next week.
Shame I have to keep making these update posts… D:
So yeah, you’re seeing this because I’m running a bit late again this week lol; just had some stuff and work going on this week. I just got up to the turn in the duel where Judai uses Convert Contact (~14 mins in); ETA would probably be Saturday or Sunday again at this point, barring a sudden hangout or something. Stay tuned!
