I loved how today's chapter' title was translated in the french edition of Chainsaw Man.

"La liberté fusillant le monde" (Liberty shooting the world), a reference to Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People.

I'm not done yet, I can't get over Yoru's pose when she calls to Tank and Gun, like a parent reaching for their young child.

Except, y'know. She just killed them.

i physically cannot be normal so i translated the one omake with kobeni's sister to toki pona

click read more for a sitelen pona version, english translation, and translator's notes!

i mostly wanted to test typesetting sitelen pona! i think this is my first time doing this? i've used sitelen pona a little bit on a previous comic translation, but only for a couple things since it was so hard to format in csp. gimp makes it so easy!

translation:

[today these sweet sisters are by the water!] sister: hey, hey, i want to eat. we should eat at the restaurant (food building) kobeni: we can't. that place costs a lot of money. but everything's fine! i brought riceballs (see TN) ah! Denji and Power! they're bad-powerful. but they can (might) have money! we'll all eat. those two will pay! sister: ah! is that okay?! denji: ah? food? i've been killing and eating the fish! sister: ah... power: uh... did you steal the rice from me? give me it. kobeni: ah?! (weirdness and lies defeated them!) ...end

translator's notes:

first i just want to mention the riceballs thing. i translated this quite unspecifically in toki pona. i translated it as "pan sike" / "circular grain". pan most commonly means bread or rice, so there's lots of foods she potentially brought along!

i'm a lone "o" user until the end of time o7

uh. bad-powerful. as in, powerful in a bad way!

i made very small changes to the dialogue in the sitelen pona version. i can't be bothered telling you so why don't you learn toki pona and sitelen pona already and see for yourself? oops that sounded aggressive

it's 5am i hope there are no mistakes

time to talk about names! woohoo! first we have Denji as jan Tensi which featured in my last translation, but i hadn't come up with his sitelen pona yet! if you're unfamiliar, which you probably are, in sitelen pona we write our names as a combination of existing glyphs inside a cartouche. this is a really fun way to add some personality to your name and really make it your own! (for instance, my name features the glyph for sleep, because i'm a sleepy motherfucker) for Tensi i used tenpo, soweli and insa. tenpo means time. it has no specific relation to denji but i thought it was kinda nice. soweli means animal, and insa means inside. are you catching on yet? these two glyphs are separated from tenpo, and together say something like "inner animal", isn't that fun?

separating this point so it doesn't look like i'm blabbing on too long. i'm quite proud of Power's name, because it's... ridiculous. naturally in this universe, she named herself after the toki pona word for power, wawa. to write this name you could of course just put the word wawa in a cartouche (with two dots to indicate you pronounce the whole word) but that's not powerful enough! so her name is written with TWO, count em TWO wawa glyphs! (with one dot each to indicate you pronounce the first syllable) wawa mute a!

by the way, why is kobeni so devious in this? did she get possessed by the theft devil? :/

alright imma go pass out now
