Bacongod said:I just finished DH volume 26, and had a translation question. As Grunbeld is stomping on Guts on page 177, he refers to him as "Archenemy." In the translation archive on this site, you guys went with "Old Enemy." I'm a fool for asking y'all to second guess yourselves, but which is more correct? I ask because earlier I had been reading "why Griffith doesn't kill guts" thread, and the answer that kept coming up was, "Guts doesn't matter to Griffith." If Guts really doesn't matter, why would Grunbeld hear of him as an archenemy?

"Created by Kentarou Miura, Berserk is the hammer of the manga forge, a white-hot amalgam of bruising action, breathless horror, and brimstone humor (UGH) that separates men from boys, wheat from chaff, and heads from shoulders. Do you want to live forever?"
Walter said:Well, I just finished reading DH's 26, and I have to say, they made some weird/embarrassing translation choices in key parts. It's like they try to inject personality at the worst possible times. The worst, for me, is when Zodd sees Guts wearing the Berserker Armor. He turns to Skull Knight and says: "Ah, the memories," instead of just "It brings back good memories." Or ANYTHING less casual sounding. Or when Apostles are trying to get past Skull Knight to Flora and up getting sliced, instead of him saying: "It will not happen" or even "None shall pass." It's "No, you don't" (as in, "Ah, Ah, Ah! I don't THINK so!" ) Ugh.
Karma does not equal Causality. That's got nothing to do with irksome style changes. They just fucked that one up.Griffith said:I don't know, all that seems like small potatoes compared to the awkwardly garbled translation of Slan and Skully's conversation, at least to me. By no means is the DH translation "appropriate" on a whole anyway, so these being the translations we have (hello, Knight of Skeleton), all I care about is the message effectively getting across, even if their style choices are irksome.
That's what I meant to type: "No, you won't." I just mistyped it ... It's still retarded. I think I made my case clear in my post. There were other ways they could have delivered that line that would have been ... more Skull Knight-y.I'll even go so far as to say some of it might be on your end, for example, in my edition, Skully simply says, "No, you won't." Perfectly boringly fine, so either we've discovered an edition difference, or after 26 volumes of this Dark Horse has conditioned you to see bad in their work even when it's not there. =)

Struggler said:One thing I didn't quite understand from reading the last volume, if the armor is supporting his broken bones how did they remove the armor, once removed how was he able to walk or do the elves also repair bone thanks.
Schierke: I still think you should take that armour off and rest for at least 4 or 5 more days
Guts: The charm that your mentor put in this armour, and Casca's necklace aren't things that will last forever. I've been down/sleeping for close to a month now, we can't waste anymore time.
Guts: It's true the pain won't go away as much compared to when I'm fighting but because of this, there won't be any problems with our journey.
Guts: And thanks to your medicine and those little guys, I'm becoming quite a bit better.
Schierke: But, it's still over doing it. It was truly terrible after that battle. He kept bleeding for days because the armour stuck onto him.
Schierke: And once we finally took it off, he lost consciousness and awakened from the pain over and over. And everytime, his wounds would open again.

Solarmaker said:seriously, i mean miura has been writing berserk for 18 years. let me say that again, 18 years. why the hell does he only release chapters practically only when the planets are aligned? i mean i waited almost a whole year to read the latest 6 chapters and then at the end of those it said "miura-san will be taking a break."
and its not like hes been working on anything else right? if he was I'd understand but why does he string us all out like this? ohh...it's probably for the money huh?
