TFSP Re-Translation Progress: Aki (5D's Stories: 2/5 Done)

DING, finished re-translating Aki's TFSP story events! Worked on it over a couple evenings and this weekend, and it does feel like a hint of the Arcadia Movement arc we should've gotten in-show that gives that part of her some more closure; finding out that the Arcadia Movement is still around and using kids in distress (from the old Satellite, as revealed later) as their pawns, Aki sets out to put an end to them once and for all, only to come up against Divine being the one trying to get her to rejoin.

Also thought this was a good exchange as Yusei jumps in and acknowledges how much she's grown (I can hear "Hopeless Battle" faintly in the background):

(It is wild how often I bump up against the original story "translation" maybe trying in a few places but then completely missing the mark on things most everywhere else and making things up [and needlessly worse in spots] to get the card game side of things out there--but then again, maybe Aki saying "I'm going to fucking destroy you" to Divine instead of "I'm here to put an end to the Arcadia Movement" is a good thing)

Now, to give her in-duel lines (which I roughly worked on to include some in the announcement video I did) another look-through, and then she should be good to go; once I do that, I'll likely start more work on my finalized GX 111-112 subs, so stay tuned!

aaaa I've always wanted to do one of these!! My blorbos over time my beloved....

I grouped em according to some stuff, labels under cut:

[bombasticdaioh]

Seems like the translating team of ArcV Tag Force Special had WAY too much fun translating the game lol

[nyupuun]

i felt a bit bad because people kept tagging ancient pixie dragon as ancient fairy dragon... so I doodled both of my yaoi-handed blue noodles.

[animegirl1363]

Brave/Broder being able to Synchro summon from the hand to contrast Crow who Synchro from the graveyard is a nice touch.

Would have been nice to see them do this against each other in the anime.

zane for the character ask thing?

YESSSS

favorite thing about them: waaahhhh so much. god i love zane. his character arc is so so good. His dub voice is I think my single favorite dub voice so far ( a high honor; I love a lot of the dub voices!!), I love how he can go from mumbling to a snarling roar in an instant. I love his Hell Kaiser design, I love the way the show storytells through his deck and how he plays it. He's also in my Single Favorite GX Duel so I think that counts as a Favorite Thing.

least favorite thing about them: genuinely trying to think about. what my least favorite thing about him is. hm. I do adore dub zane but it's a shame a lot of his relationship with respect re: dueling and himself and others got cut in order to play up a little bit of a "edgy mid-2000's tough guy bully older brother" characterization with him in the dub; the respect thing is such an important part of his character and it sucks to lose that!!

favorite line: sorry theyre all dub lines but "CYBER END DRAGON.... IT'S BEEN REAL" *EXPLOSION* still makes me go absolutely insane and "he's got one" re: jaden desperately telling him that he cant go, that syrus needs a big brother, literally makes me start crying. Also special shoutout to the fact that the dub specifically had zane tell syrus he loves him on two separate occasions!!!! That's so dear to me. Sub wise I do also love "I don't need an assistant" re: yubel being like 'i'll help you down on your way to hell.' he just goes hard.

brOTP: his bond with syrus is my single favorite yugioh siblings dynamic and every time i think about them im just like ;__; aauuaaghhhwwaahhhh......could talk about them. for ages. I also love his friendship with Jaden and Alexis!!! Zane Truesdale has Three Whole Little Siblings!!!!!!!!! I know and see the truth!!!!!

OTP: you know i gotta be on that idolship babeeeyyy!!! I did not expect a gx ship to weasel into my brain but he and Atticus just make me so soft. Why don't you come with me into the light and maybe you'll fucking calm down. love CAN bloom between a NIN fan and a Jimmy Buffett fan.

nOTP: never could vibe much with zane/jaden as a ship????? idk. thats his little brother to me. also again if you ship him with syrus im biting you. and im biting you. and im biting you. and im killing you.

random headcanon: zane alan truesdale my autistic aromantic gay nonbinary competitive pokemon player........... he is transneutral to me. his ideal gender is a 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 floating steel cube with the hell kaiser jacket on it. He listens to Tool. He'd go to raves and stand again the wall with his arms crossed. His special interest as a small child was printers. He loves old computers. His favorite Pokemon is Dialga. i could go on.

unpopular opinion: HE'S NOT. EVIL?!?!?! PEOPLE ALWAYS ARE LIKE "my sexy evil husbando >:3" WITH HELL KAISER AND IT'S LIKE. HES NOT EVEN EVIL!!!! HES JUST MENTALLY ILL!!!! HES HAVING A MANIC EPISODE SOMEONE HELP HIM. also. his 'death' is better in the dub than in the sub imo (it's the telling sy he loves him. for me.) <3

song i associate with them: Heel Turn 2 by tmg is the Zane Song Ever for me but also Bleed Out off their latest album.... "I will go down punching, but I will go down/ and my corner men won't bring me back around...."

favorite picture of them: sorry it's not an in-show screenshot but it's always going to be this pic from tag force

i cannot fucking believe this is a real picture of ryozane marufujitruesdale from a Real PSP Game that Really came out and that you can play but it IS. emulate Tag Force 3. my final message.

[risingjericho]

If there were ever a playthrough that will get demonetized, this is gonna be it. Time for the Let's Play of Yugioh: Tag Force Special to begin!

And now we figure out… who gets The Pass? Because an amount of slurs will be going around in the translation.

Other People's Fics:

WARNING: The first two fics are from the Harry Potter fandom. I am no longer a participant in this fandom and never wrote any fanfics for it myself, but there were some real gems and I, personally, want to still be able to enjoy them despite how JKR is a horrible person and ruined everything.

Crow Story Event 1 & Duel Lines Testing VS Aki | Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V TFSP Re-Translation Project (WIP)

(Project Announcement blog post/video)

With my GX 115-116 subs finalized in late August, I went on to get some re-translation work done on Crow's story (which is actually pretty cute around his kids trying to figure out how best to cheer him on and everyone else helping them) and his in-duel lines/bio, while also getting work started on GX 117-119 (and trying to finish up another thing I've dabbled with for months that I'll hopefully swing around to posting soon lol)--with all that done, figured I'd show off his story's first event along with some casual playtesting of his in-duel lines, as well as a peek at Aki's which I haven't shown off (unfortunately she didn't pull off Black Rose Dragon in this one, but her other decks were annoying to test with because of Black Garden lol). The in-duel anime OST was edited in by me, and I quite like how it came out! (The only songs I tweaked were Helpless Battle and Crow's Dueling; love how the timing worked out for the ones I didn't, haha.)

Quick note: Crow's attack-name line for his Arms Wing/Armed Wing has it as "Black Tornado!!", seemingly only in the TF games and in the Duel Terminals--in the anime and Duel Links, it's "Black Charge!!". To keep it consistent, I ported over his "Black Charge" line from DL to replace "Black Tornado" and tweaked the dialogue line accordingly (to this day, Crow still doesn't know where he got "Black Tornado" from). Also, a minor tweak since recording this, but I changed Crow's "I'm going to take you down!" in-duel line to "I'm gonna take you down" for consistency with how I was writing him.

(Also, replacing Crow's one voiceline got me curious about whether or not voices for the other characters that should have voicelines could be added back--I tested by making a folder for Johan and copying in Crow's line files, but I'm guessing it'll take more than that and involve editing the game's code since that didn't work... It'd be a matter of figuring out how to enable those characters to have voicelines, tell the game where to find them to play, and then probably also making them show up for the Voice Test in their bios... But questions for later. [That said, since it was so easy to replace Crow's line, it should be pretty feasible to replace budget!Kazama as Dark Yugi with Kazama's DL lines as appropriate, but that'll be a side thing once the base game's done.]

Going to go full speed ahead with finalizing my 117-119 subs, and then I'll come back to work on Kiryu and close out the 5D's big five's stories. But while mainly working on 117-119, I'll likely also be chipping away some more at the bios on my morning office commutes to keep myself busy, haha. Stay tuned!

Also, as a bonus below, here's a bit from Crow's second story event that I thought was amusing as I drafted it; this is as Crow's looking for his kids (who Martha can't find and is a bit worried about) and finds Jack having his usual ☕ time, ft Carly--and I can definitely hear them having this convo, haha.

(The "moment of zen" lines are from Carly, though I did think they were Jack's for a minute and thought Crow was yanking him from his coffee or something before I checked the game footage, lol. [Not shown here, but after the duel, Crow rushes off with Jack but leaves Carly with his coffee bill 😭])

[heartlessconviction]

Expectation vs Reality

Aight, we have 2 level 5 synchro's on the field... Do your shit Yusei! Yusei tunes 2 level 1's, Synchro Summons Formula Synchron. Expectation: Level 12.... It's coming, It's coming I know you have it in your deck Yusei! FUCKING SHOW THE QUASAR!!!!! Reality: "Shinkuro Shōkan! Level 7, Junk Archer!!!!" OH FFS!

[atlastfree]

So, I was surprised to find out there aren’t exactly many translated scenes from YGO: TFSP going around; especially considering that it’s not only relatively recent, but also a play on being a Yu-Gi-Oh dating sim LOL so I decided that, until I get the rom to the game, that ill translate some interactions from the “dating” routes that i find on youtube/niconico/etc.

the search has been full of perils, but here’s a scene i managed to get my hands on from your second date with mai. Please note that it’s not the best translation and i did adjust some of it to fit an english flow of conversation; but otherwise it’s as close as i’ll get!

-

Mai: PLAYER, you came!

Mai: Looks like we’re on a date today too!

Mai: Last time, on the way home from school… The idea of looking for just the right place at just the right time, away from the school… that wasn’t a bad idea of mine.

Mai: So, just like before, I’ll look around the city while keeping a good distance from the school.

Mai: Now that I think about last time… Maybe it was just subconscious, but I found myself wandering it to a lot of women’s shops.

Mai: Based on that, I think we should go somewhere that boys usually go.

Mai: Ok! Let’s go!

(You guys go somewhere; likely another women’s store)

Mai: I thought I could do it this time, but I guess not…

Mai: Oh, that’s…!

Mai: Wheeler’s friend!

Ryou: Oh, Mai-san.

Duke: Crazy seeing you here, on a day we’re not with everyone else.

Ryou: Everyone else… You mean Yugi?

Mai: Also, Honda. And Joey Wheeler.

Duke: I’m usually with him, but…

Ryou: Yeah, I happened to have something to do today, so we all split up.

Mai: … Do you have any idea where you are?

Ryou: … I don’t know where I am now…

Duke: But… I come here often… If you wait around, you’re bound to see me…

Ryou: You know, I was wondering if I’d be able to join in on something if I came around here…

Mai: So… Should I just wait for something interesting to happen?

Ryou: Yes. ^_^

Mai: …

Ryou: …

Duke: …

Ryou: …

Ryou: That’s it!

Ryou: There’s no point in standing here and not doing anything with four people!

Ryou: Let’s tag duel together!

Duke: Oh, good, let’s do it!

Mai: That’s a good idea, but… You know I’m strong, right?

Duke: That’s fine. I look forward to saying that whenever I see my muscles. (???)

Ryou: I wonder how my Occult Deck will go against strong opponents like Mai… I’m looking forward to it!

Mai: PLAYER is good, too, you know. Well, then, let’s go!

Ryou: Duel!

(You win the duel)

Ryou: Oh… Did I lose?

Ryou: I guess I couldn’t match Mai-san after all.

Mai: (taken aback) You’re…— When you’re dueling, your feelings change a lot.

Ryou: Eh… Is that so?

Mai: Well… There is that type…

Mai: The type of people who are usually quiet, but when it comes to duels, they attack violently without thinking about defense.

Mai: You’re usually kind, but your deck is full of cards made for obstruction.

Ryou: Ahaha!

Duke: I lost… But that was a good duel. It was fun.

Mai: Yeah, it was a good duel!

Ryou: I don’t think we have time for another one.

Mai: Yeah, it has been a while…

Ryou: We should get going home.

Duke: Oh, right.

Mai: Well, I’ll be around, even if Joey doesn’t show up.

Ryou: See you.

Mai: (sigh) Today was a waste of time again, wasn’t it?

Mai: Well, PLAYER… See you later.

Mai: You’ll go out on another date with me, next time, though, right?

(End)

-

some footnotes:

this is the second of what i assume to be three dates of mai’s route.

it’s implied that the whole gang was together, but then ryou had an errand to run, and otogi decided to tag along with him.

and then they (ryou) got lost.

its implied that by ‘waiting for something’ and ‘joining in on something’ they’re referring to joey just showing up i guess.

for some reason they all think ryou’s idea to stand around and wait for something to happen like idiots is a good idea. they genuinely just stand there staring at each other in complete silence before ryou gets frustrated at his own idea

i’m not sure what duke was trying to express or why he said it when he brought up seeing his muscles (lit. his arms)

mai says something similar to ryou that she does to yami bakura in duel links; that when ryou is dueling, he completely changes. however, it’s canon to TFSP that yami bakura has nothing to do with this particular duel, and that ryou genuinely just gets like that sometimes.

although i didnt include it, she also may note that she gets that way in a duel sometimes as well.

[ruelukas]

This…

This is slightly terrifying.

It took me quite a bit longer than it should have to figure out what was going on.

tfw you lose motivation on your game projects so you take a break and play with sprites instead. the great yugi recolor…… more of an attempt, really.

ㄟ (≖‿≖ ㄟ ) goodbye

[thewaterlord27]

Man I really want to play yugioh arc v tag force special but I don't have a psp.

[goakizaizinski]

Here is Aki from all three Tag Forces and Duel Links.  You wanna know why she smiles more and more as they go on? Her breasts keep getting bigger and bigger! Her breasts are growing and they keep growing and growing and growing...
