#it was hard to decipher '一途' btw but i noticed the line is higher than the rest of the words which helped me determine it could only be 一

Bucchigiri honki shrine decipher and translation

Some time ago I made a post about this tablet, to exalt its coolness as a stylistic mix of arabic and japanese scripts. Upon closer look I noticed it was not random for the aesthetic, but actually real japanese sentences, in an arabic-inspired font!

So I decided to decipher it. It was fun but challenging (especially as a non-native japanese speaker!), but I managed to do it.

japanese and translation:

戦で乱れし世に　逃げぬ心で In a world disarrayed by war, with a heart that does not flee

鍛錬を積み頂点を目指せ者共あり。 They are the people who accumulate training and aim for the top.

その名を本気人と���う。 They are called Honki People.

己が身に幾千の武具すら及ぬ力を宿し Their body possesses power that a thousand armors cannot match.

その拳は火を吹く大筒の如く Their fist is such as a cannon that spits fire

その蹴りは玉鋼の名刀をも砕いた。 Their kick shattered even the famous tamahagane* swords.

正々堂々　一途な(る?)生き— A "fair and square", singleminded (way of) life—

民の心を打つも— They strike even the People's hearts—

*traditional japanese steel made from iron sand and used in swords

BONUS:

This banner from episode 7. Once again japanese, but the katakana part really looks like arabic imo if you didn't know better! very cool

"合同コンバット" (gôdô combatto) Joint combat

A pun on "合同コンパ" (gôdô compa), "joint party / mixer"; what Arajin thought he was getting into.
