Zexal English 001 Subbed!

Jun 27, 2011 20:54

As you noticed the group has stopped posting zexal raws. Besides the drama in the group yadda yadda yadda, Anon's capture machine went down, no HQ raws. The person that usually organizes the raws and releases them, well, they are no longer here.

But it is all for a good reason. We found a translator! So here is episode 1 of ygo zexal

Yuma's Catchphrase, "Kattobingu" -> "Jumping right in"

Yuma has invented a phrase that expresses his do first, think later philosophy. It comes from the slightly outdated Japanese slang word "kattobi", and the English verb ending "-ing". Kattobi is a powered-up version of "tobi", which means jump. The "ka" prefix emphasizes a gutsy and sudden move. Altogether, I felt that "I'm jumping right in" matched the parts of this weird patchwork word well - the active tense, relation to a physical jump, and "don't look back" attitude.

That said, there are some cases where it's a pain to translate with this phrase. Because the Japanese word is a new invention, Yuma can mess around with the Japanese wording as much as he wants and nobody 's the wiser. But we're using an actual English phrase, so we don't have that sort of flexibility. There may be some tradeoffs we have to make to balance staying true to the script and making it sound more natural, but stick with us and we'll make sure you get the legit Yugioh spirit.

zexal, release
