[montagne-russe]

if your requests are still open, may i ask for a sui-gyou from eastern mind? id love to see him in your style!!

HECK yeah ::-]

[ID: Drawings of Sui-gyou, a towering ocean-themed creature with a purple hammerhead-shark-like head, a blue body and long blue arms ending with fins, and yellow tentacles. His body is covered in falling water. He has four eyes down his center, and yellow eye-stalks atop his head. In one drawing he is standing and frowning, and in another he is leaning over to pat Byou’s head and smiling. Byou is a small lizard-like creature with a leafy body. Text next to Sui-gyou says “Mon-chien’s little sweetheart :~)”. The other two drawings are of Zuo-mong, a small yellow octopus-like creature with one eye and two humanoid arms, eating magatamas. /End ID.]

eastern mind retranslation - creature profiles part 1

Next in my retranslation series I’ll be looking at section 4 of the Tong-Nou Illustrated Book. This section is called “Tong-Nou Creature Profile” in English, and 東脳列伝 in Japanese; 東脳 meaning Tong-Nou, and 列伝 meaning “a series of biographies.” In this part I’ll be taking a look at the profiles for Byou, Tou, and Sha.

Byou

Japanese Text: 

夢見の王スイギョウの命令で、夢見に必要な「夢見の目玉」を手に入れるため、生命の国ミンケンへ向かう使命がある。ネジ回しを持って生まれる。

好きなもの：ビョウは木陰に隠れて擬態プレイするのが好き、彼の体は葉っばで飾られていて、その中に潜り込んでミノ虫状態になるのも好きだ。

嫌いなもの：夢見の国の生物にはない葉飾りの体をしているので、仲間からよくいじめられる

Original Translation:

Under the orders of Sui-gyou (King of Mon-chien), Byou's mission is to head towards Ming-ken (Land of Life). There he must collect the Eyeball of Dreaming. Born with a wrench.

Likes: Since his body is decorated with leaves, he loves to camouflage in the shade of trees.

Dislikes: Receives frequent bullying from his fellow comrades because no other creature in the Land of Dreaming possesses leaves.

My Translation:

By order of Sui-gyou, the King of Dreaming, Byou's mission is to go to The Land of Life, Ming-ken, to obtain the "Eyeball of Dreaming" which is necessary to see dreams. Born with a wrench.

Likes: Byou likes to play by camouflaging and hiding in the shade of trees, disguising himself as a bagworm by concealing himself with the leaves that are decorated on his body.

Dislikes: He is often bullied by his peers because of his leafy body, which is unlike any other creature in the Land of Dreaming.

Notes:

The original translation isn’t too bad, just missing a bit of details. Maybe to make sure the text fit onto the page? Fun fact,  ネジ回し can also mean “screwdriver” but keeping it as “wrench” makes more sense when you see what the tool actually looks like:

Tou

Japanese Text:

生命の樹の管理者として、新しく生まれた生命を登録するのが使命。生命の登録のためには、時間の国シチェンへ行かなければならない。

好きなもの：　器械をいじるのが好き。だから彼の指はそのために細くて長���、細かなものが見やすいよう精度のいい眼鏡をかけている。

嫌いなもの：体の真ん中に穴のあいた自分の体がイヤで仕方がない。首もひょろひょろしててみにくい。容姿コンプレックスがあるのだ。

Original Translation: 

Guardian of the Tree of Life, Tou's mission is to register new life. In order to register life, he must travel to Shi-chieng (Land of Time).

Likes: Tou's fetish is mechanical apparatus. His fingers are long and thin. He also wears accurate eye glasses.

Dislikes: Cannot bear his very own physique. An aerodynamic body (a hole right in the middle of the body) with a long and winding neck are the subjects of his inferiority complex.

My Translation:

As the administrator of the Tree of Life, Tou's mission is to register newly born lives. To register lives, he must go to Shi-chieng, the Land of Time.

Likes: Loves to play around with mechanical instruments. His fingers are long and slender for this purpose, and he wears precision glasses that make it easy to see the smallest of details.

Dislikes: With a gaping hole in the middle of it, Tou can't help but hate his own body. His spindly neck also adds to his unattractiveness. This is why he has an appearance complex. 

Notes:

I changed “guardian” to “administrator” to be more accurate to the original text, and it fits more with his nerdy character. I’m not sure why they chose the word “fetish” in the original but it definitely gives off the wrong idea, so I changed that too. I also fixed some errors in the last section (where did “aerodynamic body” come from I wonder). 

Sha

Japanese Text:

欲望の国の王キンギョウに命じられて、東脳世界に隠��れた４つの楽器を集めることが使命。シャだけにしか、それらの楽器を奏でることはできない。

好きなもの：音楽が大好きなシャは、どんな楽器でも演奏できる。欲望の国ユイワンにある自分の楽器��部屋にいるときが一番落ちつく。

嫌いなもの：音楽のない世界というものが恐ろしい。ついでにいうと、欲望の王は音痴なくせに唄うのが好きなので、チョット許せないと思ってる。

Original Translation:

Under the orders of King-gyou (King of Yui-wang), Sha's mission is to collect all four musical instruments of the Tong-Nou World. Sha is the chosen one. Only he can play the instruments.

Likes: Loves music and can play any instrument. Winds up in his music room located within Yui-wang (Land of Desire).

Dislikes: Fears a world without music. Next to that, he cannot approve of tone-deaf King-gyou's singing.

My Translation: 

By order of King-Gyou, King of the Land of Desire, Sha's mission is to find and gather the 4 hidden musical instruments of the Tong-Nou world. Only Sha can do this, as they are the only one who can play the instruments.

Likes: Sha loves music, and can play any instrument. They feel most at ease when they are in their instrument room in Yui-wang, the Land of Desire.

Dislikes: The idea of a world without music frightens them. Besides that, the King of the Land of Desire likes to sing even though he is tone-deaf, which Sha finds a bit intolerable.

Notes:

For Byou and Tou, the word 彼 was used which means “he” but for Sha I used “they” pronouns because there weren’t any words used to indicate gender. I wish English didn’t have to rely on pronouns so much :/ 

I hope you enjoyed this and I’ll post the next batch as soon as I can! 

[deadangelsparty-archive]

for the system ask meme! 💥, 💛

💥 Are there any alters that have more power than others (can manipulate dreams, change the innerworld easily, etc.)? - Sui-gyou could give other alters peaceful dreams, and Cloth was able to enter dreams. We don't see much of them anymore, though.

💛 Any best friends/siblings/partners in the system? - Linen and Cloth are married, Jacket and I are dating, and Blossom is Care's adoptive mother.

Eastern Mind: The Legend of Tong-Nou

Set near the end of the Meiji era, the story opens with Rinne Tammon, an ambitious young man who is always unappreciated because of his problematic ideas. One night, after grieving over his lost love Suzune, who dumps him over another man, Rinne wakes up and is shocked to find a Jizou-esque creature stealing something that seems to come from his chest, and follows it. He tries to claim the glowing ball of light, but fails. The next morning, Rinne initially believes the events of the previous night to have been a dream, only to be proven otherwise when he finds his reflection gone, to his family’s shock. Yashiro, a young saint, reveals that Rinne’s soul was taken to the island of Tong-Nou, and if he doesn’t get his soul back then he’ll “weaken and eventually die in emptiness.” Rinne decides to go and retrieve his soul, but before he does, Yashiro gives him an artificial soul which will last for forty-nine days. The family quickly learn of his departure, and Rinne’s elderly father, Kodai, prays to Gautama Buddha for Rinne’s safety. Buddha and the other Shinto spirits agree to have their “great guardian dragon” protect Rinne; a young snake spirit named Zai, a disgraced former guardian, is sent to awaken the dragon, but accidentally destroys its statue in the process, which Zai conceals from the spirits and resolves to protect Rinne himself. After receiving an amulet and a magic furoshiki from Zai, Rinne navigates an enchanted boat to Tong-Nou, which is revealed to be a massive green human head floating high above the waves. There, they try to access the mountain where they believe his soul is being kept, but they are discovered by a “Kujinn”, an inhabitant of Tong-Nou, and forced to hide from her in an underground chamber, where Rinne saves Zai from a flaming booby trap, getting himself killed in the process. He then finds himself among the roots of Mingke-Shu, The Tree of Life, where a mysterious entity tells him that, in order to regain his soul, he must find and collect 8 Kujinn, his incarnates, who will each be given nine lives, and assemble their “Life Plates” to gain access to the Octagonal Shrine, Par-Fang. There, he is told, his soul will be restored once he collects the five elemental Magatamas that contain it. After receiving his own set of nine lives, Rinne revives, and he and Zai set out on their quest, journeying through the four lands that were created when the universe was born: Ming-Ken (Land of Life), Mon-Chien (Land of Dreaming), Shi-Chieng (Land of Time), and Yui-Wang (Land of Desire). They soon befriend the odd creature Fang-Shing, who agrees to help them unite his incarnates:

Toh, the young and somewhat nerdy Guardian of Mingke-Shu, who is tutored by Moku-Gyou, king of Ming-Ken. Fearful of being caught with a mortal in need of a soul, he is reluctant to help at first, but he eventually warms up to Rinne.

Retsu, an ant who lives near the trunk of Mingke-Shu. Prior to meeting Rinne, Toh rescues him from being squashed by Moku-Gyou, who dislikes vermin.

Byou, a leaf-loving teenager from Mon-Chien, who is often bullied due to his peculiar fondness. When Rinne drives off the bullies harassing him, a grateful Byou decides to join the group.

Ryou, a flaming “Firebug” from Shi-Chieng. Dissatisfied with his assigned task, he eagerly accepts Rinne’s offer to come along with them on their journey, seeing it as an opportunity to abandon his job and embark on wild adventures.

Sha, the Kujinn Rinne and Zai encountered earlier, a young woman roughly about Rinne’s age from Yui-Wang, who loves music and can play any musical instrument. Although a bit skeptical of Rinne’s motives at first, she agrees to assist them in their quest anyway, and later begins to develop feelings for him, and vice-versa.

Kai, the youngest of the Guards of Shi-Chieng, who protect the Candles of Life, and is sometimes mistaken for a girl, to his annoyance. After completing his “Life Task”, extinguishing a certain candle, he discovers too late that this candle is none other than his own, and dies instantly. It is revealed that a slight miscalculation on Moku-Gyou’s part had resulted in Kai’s birth, and Ka-Gyou, king of Shi-Chieng, found him expendable; “The kings are killing time by manipulating life”. Kai’s body is then sent off to the Sha-Mo desert of Ming-Ken, to become food for the ravenous monster Tabelinai. He is nearly eaten alive, but Rinne and the others arrive in time to rescue him. Afterwards, Kai hesitantly agrees to help them. Meanwhile, Ka-Gyou becomes suspicious when Kai’s candle lights itself back up again, resistng all attempts to extinguish it, and informs his brothers, the other three kings, and they conclude that their subjects are helping a mortal.

Zen, the octopus guard of the Ice Wall of Mon-Chien, who exploded when Kai encountered him during his quest. Upon revival, he is bribed by Zai not to alert Sui-Gyou, king of Mon-Chien, of Rinne’s presence by promising Zen they will take him to “see the world beyond the walls”.

Jin, the faithful, gold loving subordinate of Kin-Gyou, king of Yui-Wang. Keeping his brothers’ warnings in mind, the crafty Kin-Gyou bribes Jin to follow the group and expose Rinne and their mission in exchange for “all the gold [he] desire[s].”

Now together, the group returns to the Central Mountain and assemble all their Life Plates, including Rinne’s own, unlocking the gateway to Par-Fang. There, Rinne receives a “Soul Container”, which he must use to collect the five Magatamas. It is then revealed that the entity who helped them throughout the adventure, Tou-Gyou, is the true king of Tong-Nou, having been split into eight pieces and imprisoned during a conspiracy of his own sons, the Four Kings, and that Rinne must restore him. At that moment, Jin betrays the others, allowing the Four Kings to capture and expose them and banish Rinne, along with Zai, Retsu, and Fang-Shing, back to Earth. However, Sha, Toh, Byou, and Ryou manage to establish telepathic contact with them, and they then piece together the Four Kings’ plan: to reach Tong-Nou’s influence into the mortal world by steering the entire island towards the mainland, where they will have total control over the citizens’ souls. Returning to his hometown, Rinne is unable to convince the villagers about the incoming danger, though Yashiro believes him. Sha manages to escape, successfully convinces Jin to have a change of heart and help them, and steals back the group’s boat, arriving in town before Tong-Nou to pick up Rinne, Zai, Retsu, and Fang-Shing. They rescue the others, collecting four of the Magatamas at the same time, and assemble back at Par-Fang, where the fifth is being held. As Tong-Nou appears over Rinne’s hometown, the group receive the “Katana of Five Forces”, which Rinne must use to free the last Magatama, as well as Tou-Gyou and all the souls that have been stolen. With the Four Kings in hot pursuit, the group break into Par-Fang, where Rinne cuts the threads binding the large mass of stolen souls together, freeing them and the last Magatama, which unites with the other four, forming his own soul, which in turn returns to his body. Now restored, Tou-Gyou appears in his true form and congratulates the heroes, thanking them courteously. The Four Kings are imprisoned for their actions, and Rinne is praised by Tou-Gyou, the townspeople and the many inhabitants of Tong-Nou. While he accepts the crest of Tong-Nou as a gift, he politely declines Tou-Gyou’s offer to be his guard and asks to return to his family, and to a normal life. Rinne introduces his friends and they join him in a returning celebration before departing with the town’s thanks. Sometime later, Tou-Gyou notices that Rinne isn’t happy and allows the eight incarnates to be reborn through Mingke-Shu as humans, in addition granting them souls of their own so that they may freely coexist with him. They accept Rinne’s family’s invitation for dinner, Rinne and Sha become a couple, and Zai is reinstated as a guardian god by the Buddha amid a celebration. Tong-Nou is then seen winking at the camera as the film ends, with the scene turned to an Ukiyo-e painting as the credits roll.
