2023.05.05 22:59 The_Loli_Otaku [Rewatch] In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki 24H Reminder!!

The Maiden's Heart is Fluttering!!

Extra Info and Links

ANN MAL Anilist Wikipedia Crunchyroll
Synopsis:
"Men are horrible. Things to be feared. But, why is it? Why is my heart beating so fast?!"
Deep in the mountains in the middle of nowhere lives a group of kunoichi called Akane Class. These kunoichi work hard together to improve their own skills, and they all live by an unbreakable rule: "Contact with men is strictly forbidden." But everything takes an unexpected turn when Tsubaki, leader of the "dog" group, starts experiencing strange feelings whenever the subject of men comes up.
This is a journey of a brave Kunoichi adolescence! With her friends and rivals from the other Akane Class teams will Tsubaki be able to keep her head straight or will she fall for the evil entities knows as "the men!"

Why should you watch it?

Kunoichi Tsubaki is the third of Sōichirō Yamamoto's "Forehead Trilogy" alongside the ever popular Teasing Master Takagi-San and the less popular but incredibly sweet When will Ayumu Make his Move? There is one very distinct difference though... in this series, "Otoko ga kinshi!! Yes!! It only took three attempts but finally the romcom freak finally considered writing pure sweet slice of life comedy!
So from the start Cunny Itchy is looking pretty good right? A top tier mangaka, amazing character designs, and an original setting? Well have I got news for you! Kunoichi also got it's hands on Kakuchi Takudai, the director of S2 and S3 of My Hero Academia (so the good ones.) and Cloverworks, IE the kings of this genre at its hem!
So time for me to simp a little. My experience of Kunoichi was one of the underdog. I can vividly remember our anime seasonal preview, a fun little podcast that went through what shows would be coming up. When they got to Kunoichi, they poohoo'd it immediately. Which to be fair I can kind of understand. At first glance it's cunny bait isn't it? XD Well I'm here to dismiss that notion!! Kunoichi Tsubaki is much more than cunny bait! It is an icon of forgotten slice of life memories! It was probably the purest show of that season was dismissed before it could bring back memories of early 2010's slice of life comedies!!
Kunoichi has actually had a very interesting year. Predictably, due to how it looks it ended up picking up a pretty niche audience but eventually it won genuine affection from fans. Even becoming a 4chan darling. It's a short, sweet, and charming series with a lovable cast of mesugaki, great music, and is just plain solid. It's without a doubt my favourite show of 2022! And I'm calling you to join me for a rewatch!!

Fun Stuff

We've got the usual suspects once again! I'll do my regular QotD's, where I put text into an Ai checker in a desperate attempts to come up with a thought provoking series of questions each day. And I've decided that I am also gonna be keeping an eye open for cultured and insightful comments to show off to the rest of the rewatch crowd! Make sure you reply to three separate members to be valid and have your comment showcased. A rewatch team is about being together forever after all!! I also have one final section... that I'm determined to make work this time!!
Abyssbringer's "What is the thematic purpose of this scene corner!!"
In this section I will be posting a preview pic of the following episode. Your challenge is to dedicate a small write up about the "thematic" purpose of said scene~ The best submission will get a dedicated spot in our patented Abyssbringer's "What is the thematic purpose of this scene winner's corner!!"
So to be clear, check the preview that I will be posting each day, be sure to write an extra addidum or quip filled monologue about that particular scene/screenshot, and include it in your post! For examples please check out Ichigo Mashimaro and Kodomo no Jikan Just to be clear this section is made for a bit of fun. If you don't understand it, please check with me and I'll explain it further. I'm gonna make this a thing if its the last thing I do!!

2022.06.01 19:25 Dude_The_Second Yukirin interview on natalie.mu translated into English (a very long article!)

Yukirin interview on natalie.mu translated into English (a very long article!)
The original source in Japanese is here. It's a long read, but its interesting Yukirin answers questions on working and managing a new group, differences between Akimoto and Watanabe, Oogoe Diamond's release back in 2008 and 2022, questions about her early days in AKB, will she trade position in AKB, does AKB accept rejects and does she believe in ghosts etc.. etc.. etc..
The interview with Yukirin is moderated by Yui Ga Dockson, (but with Chichi intervening if the questions become too silly) with all the members of SPY asking her questions
Also, Scoll down for 4k Pics

In English-==================================================================
Idol group SPY (SPY / SELECT 7 Plus YUKi), produced by Yuki Kashiwagi of AKB48, released their single on 1 June.
Natalie music ran a feature presenting a round table discussion with all the SPY members. The facilitator of the round-table discussion was Doku, who won first place in the fan vote. She asked a series of unique questions.

  • National idols and WACK members
Yui ga Dokson (GANG PARADE): I was surprised that Yuki Kashiwagi of the national idol AKB48 would produce a WACK group!
Kashiwagi Yuki (AKB48): Oh, why?
Doku: Because Kashiwagi-san is the person in my dreams that I watched on TV every day and thought was cute.
Chihiro Chichi (BiSH): Kashiwagi-san jumped into each WACK group last year with the "Kashiwagi Yuki's WACK" project, and we also worked together in BiSH. I think the collaboration with WACK, including that project, was a great challenge for Kashiwagi-san, and SPY was also a challenge for us, and it must be a big thing in her life, so we shouldn't take it half-heartedly. We thought that since she is someone we respect as a senior idol, it would be better to take on the challenge as if we were going up against her.
Doku: You mean you're being serious?
Chichi: Yes, I am.

Doku: Then I would like to ask Kashiwagi-san a question! What is the concept of SPY?
Kashiwagi: "The idol". I imagined an image of an idol who is bright, energetic, smiling and gorgeous, and who makes people feel energised when they see her.
Doku: Oh, you mean Kashiwagi-san?
Kashiwagi: I didn't go so far as to say that (laughs). (laughs) I've filled it with my ideal image.
Doku: It's difficult when people say 'make it idol-like', but it's easier to understand if you imagine 'like Kashiwagi-san'.
Kashiwagi: Really (laughs). That's how I tried to do it.

Doku: I heard that the music itself was already written before the members were confirmed?
Kashiwagi: That's right. We decided on the concept of the song first, and the sound was already done, but the lyrics were written after the members were decided. But I wrote the lyrics after the members were decided.

  • Everyone is a champion
Doku: Now let's look back at the end of the year's "WACK EXHiBiTiON and SELECT 7 in Yuki Kashiwagi's own way" (an event to announce the results of a fan voting project to decide the seven members of the Yuki Kashiwagi-produced group). When you were chosen as one of these members, you must have had a lot of feelings, especially looking back at the moment I came in first place, what did you think?
Kashiwagi: My first thought was "What should I do" (laughs).
Doku: That's what I thought too! I thought, "Oh, I'm going to embarrass them." I'm sorry, really (laughs).
Kashiwagi: I was thinking in terms of the image of a royal idol, so I wasn't sure if I could really bring out the best in Doku-san (......). But when Mr Watanabe had 10,000 votes, I knew that he would probably put them into Doku-san (laughs). On the contrary, I thought it would be more meaningful to do it if I couldn't imagine what kind of group we would become, so I dared to leave the songs as they were, and I felt like I could take the plunge to become more of an idol. There were some changes from the original plan once the members were decided upon.
Doku: What would you say?
Kashiwagi: The lyrics. I was thinking of making it more idol-like, but what Doku-san said in his speech, "Everyone is a champion", really stuck in my mind. I had experienced the general election in AKB48, and I was really impressed by the idea that 'everyone who is an idol should be a champion', so I wrote the lyrics around that.

Doku: I see! Are there any members in SPY who have experienced gaps in their singing, dancing and music video shooting?
Kashiwagi: I didn't have the image of Hashiyasume-san being bad at dancing. But while we were working together, I saw her practising on her own or looking at her fumbling figure for the first time and thought she was "cute ......" (laughs). I was most impressed by this side of her.
Hashiyasume Atsuko (BiSH): That's right (laughs). The choreography of 'Anata wo Kakuchi Hitto ♡' is very detailed. I had never experienced this in my own group, so I practised a lot while being baffled.

Doku: I'm sure everyone is looking forward to it. By the way, Kashiwagi-san, what is the most reckless pledge you made in the past?
Kashiwagi: In the latter half of the general election, I often made big, vague promises like "I will definitely do a national tour", but in the first election I made a promise that I didn't understand, like "If I become a selected member, I will forecast the weather from the roof of TBS" (laughs).
Hashiyasume: Ah! You were actually a weather girl, weren't you?
Kashiwagi: Yes. I'm not afraid of heights, but I'll deliver it from the rooftop. If you're going to make a commitment, it's better to do something that will please the fans (laughs).
Tsukino: There was a girl who ran a 100 km marathon in the previous WACK general election, but I guess it's different when you think of a pledge that will please the fans (laughs).

  • Differences between Akimoto Yasushi and Watanabe Junnosuke
Doku: I have a question for Kashiwagi-san: I would like to ask about her impressions of AKB48 and the WACK group and the differences between them.
Kashiwagi: The obvious difference is that with WACK you get a lot of solo parts. The other difference is that the members come up with the choreography themselves. I have never experienced these two things in AKB48. In AKB48, there are a lot of people, and they keep coming in and leaving, so I feel that the group can survive even if I'm not there. But in WACK, every group has a huge role for one person, and I really like that. I think it would be very rewarding to be in WACK.

Doku: Then, in terms of production, what do you think are the differences between Akimoto Yasushi and Watanabe Junnosuke?
Kashiwagi: I don't know if the way Watanabe-san treats everyone is the same as the way he treats me, but I feel like he talks to me as an equal. I feel like he treats the members as adults rather than as producers. But there are some things he won't compromise on, like lyrics and music video ideas. Akimoto-san has a strong attitude of leaving things to the members, like saying, "How do you feel about this?" He is not so pushy. He is not so pushy and says, "You have to make your own decision". Mr Watanabe doesn't back down in areas where he won't, which I appreciate because I'm quite indecisive. He listens to my opinions and I thought Watanabe-san was a well-balanced producer.

Doku: Did you feel any differences between the way we were produced by Kashiwagi-san and what you normally do?
Chichi: If I have to say it, everything is different (laughs). The same perspective and the same feeling as the members that Kashiwagi-san is able to understand is different from Watanabe-san's, and I think that's why we can express what we want to express. Kashiwagi-san has a fan's point of view, so I feel like he is closer to what the audience wants. Watanabe-san's way of making music is more like, "We'll do it this way, and we'll be happy if you like it".
Kashiwagi: Oh, I can understand that! I'm the type of person who goes for it (laughs). I don't really understand your fans, so it's hard for me to judge how far I've come, but I do have fans. Fans have invested a lot of time, love, money and effort into this project, so we have a responsibility to them, and if we're going to do it, we have to make them as happy as possible.
Yumeno yua (GANG PARADE): The fact that Kashiwagi-san is a member herself is a big difference from Watanabe-san.
Kashiwagi: Certainly, I produce based on what I want to do and how I want to do it.
Yua: I think it's very different because what I want to do is also added to that.

  • Extra question "If you were to release a new song in ten years' time, what would it be?"
Doku: here's a special question time! First of all, the very cute main character girl in the lyrics of this song. She puts on her make-up in front of the mirror and casts a 'cute spell'.
Kashiwagi: No, not at all (laughs). (Laughs) It's my ideal image of an idol who is this thorough.
Doku: Thank you very much! I'll go on from here in a question-and-answer style! If you were to release SPY's second song in 10 years' time, what would you title it?
Kashiwagi: What, after 10 years?
Yua: Is there going to be that much of a gap?
Hashiasume: After 10 years, or how far we can dance. ......
Kashiwagi: If it's been 10 years, I think it would be interesting if we dared to go in the same direction. If we were to make it right away, I'd want to make a different concept, but it would be interesting to have an 'all-out idol' that everyone would show 10 years from now.
Doku: That sounds good. Then the title should be "Aim at you ♡"!
Kashiwagi: Then please put '©Yuiga Doku' in the title credits (laughs).

Doku: Next question. If you could take just one thing with you to a deserted island, what would it be?
Kashiwagi: A mobile phone, but is there a signal on that island?
Doku: No, there is not. By the way, if you're going to live in a survival situation for a week.
Hashiyasume: Speaking of which, the members of Gyanpare have been to a deserted island before, haven't they (laughs)?
Kashiwagi: I have been to a deserted island, too, for two days, but I can't remember what I needed. The only thing I remember is that the toilet was far away and I had to endure it for a day because I had trouble with it.
Hashiyasume: What would be useful to have: ...... shovel?
Chichi: What are you trying to cook on a deserted island (laughs)?
Hashiyasume: For now, I think the only way to find food is to dig (laughs). A Juutoku knife would be useful, though.
Chichi: I'll bring a fire that will last a long time. Other things can be substituted with what we have on the island, but making a fire is hard work.
Doku: it's important! Kashiwagi-san, have you ever made a fire?
Kashiwagi: When we went to the uninhabited island, we divided up the work and someone else did it.

Doku: Do you believe in aliens and ghosts?
Kashiwagi: I have never felt them, but I think they exist. I don't have any psychic feelings at all, but as long as there are people who say they exist, I think they exist.
Doku: Do you believe in them? Please raise your hands. (Looking around at the members) Oh, you believe in everyone except Tsuki.
Tsukino: I don't believe in it because I've never seen it or felt it. People are the scariest.

Doku: One last question. Which of the current WACK groups would you prefer to be active for a year if you had to?
Kashiwagi: Wow, that's a tough one. How about Chichi-san and a Rental Trade?
Chichi: I would probably come back after getting plenty of rubbing in the rough waters of AKB48.
Kashiwagi: Chichi-san knows AKB48, so I'm sure she'll do well. And if I join BiSH, I won't be forced to talk the most (laughs).
Chichi: Backstage or something, right? I'm sorry (laughs).
Kashiwagi: No, no, I felt the atmosphere in which the members of BiSH cherish their own atmosphere when I joined BiSH in Kashiwak, even though it was only for a short time. Incidentally, the members of GO TO THE BEDS at that time talked to me a lot and immediately took me in as one of them, which was fun. But if I were to stay for a year, I'm not the type to talk that much myself, so I'm not sure (laughs).If it was a rental with BiSH and AKB48, it would be interesting as a topic of conversation.
Doku: Chichi-san, I think you'll absorb a lot of things and come back with a company (laughs).
Tsukino: Chichi-san will come back as the president (laughs).
Chichi: I might create a new team (laughs). That could be interesting.

Terashima Yuka (GANG PARADE): I have a question for Kashiwagi-san. I sang "Oogoe Diamond" as SPY in the coupling song of the single. I had only sung WACK songs before, so I really felt the difference in singing style and melody, but did you feel any difference from AKB48 songs when you sang Kenta Matsukuma's (SPY's sound producer) songs?
Kashiwagi: Matsukuma-san's songs are easy to sing and I feel like they are made so that I can sing them by myself, whereas AKB48 songs are like 'where do you breathe? (laughs). (laughs) In that sense, I think it's the WACK songs that are easy to sing. But when I recorded 'Oogoe Diamond' for the first time in a while, I realised once again that I'm used to singing it. From your point of view, was 'Oogoe Diamond' difficult to sing?
Terashima: The end of the melody goes all the way down, and the vowel remains at the end. That was a big difference from WACK, and I thought it was a type of song I had never sung before.
Chichi: Maybe it's because AKB48 is more like a song, but I feel that the vowels are well-hammered and many of the songs are easy for Japanese people to get used to.
Tsukino: On the contrary, Matsukuma-san always gives me advice on valuing consonants.
Kashiwagi: That difference is probably significant. I've been singing in AKB48 for a long time, so I tend to leave the vowels in my songs, or rather, I tend to stretch them out. Matsukuma-san gave me a lot of advice about that.
Tsukino: Is there any part of 'Oogoe Diamond' where you think, "If I do this part this way, the audience will definitely like it"?
Kashiwagi: It's the chorus, "I love you". It's important to aim for the part where you point (pointing while singing).
Chichi: Ah! I thought, "I think I'm looking at myself now!" I thought. It makes me so happy. ......
Hashiyasume: what's wrong? Did you just suddenly become a fan? (Laughs)
Chichi: I've become a fan (laughs).
Kashiwagi (laughs). That's the point, so please be bold.
Chichi: The tempo of the WACK version of "Oogoe Diamond" has become quite fast, hasn't it?
Kashiwagi: Really, the WACK version of 'Oogoe Diamond' was really cool! We left the arrangement to the band, but even though it's the same song, it has a completely different band sound with a fast-paced feel - it's a song that combines the best of AKB48's pop and WACK's emotional side.
Terashima: Do you have any memories of this song?
Kashiwagi: 'Oogoe Diamond' was our first song after our record company changed to King Records in 2008. It didn't sell well at the previous record company, so it was the second company I finally decided to work for. To be honest, we thought that if the first single on the new company didn't do well, it would never sell again. But when the members listened to the soundtrack together, we had a response like "This sounds like a good song!" I felt like we had a good response. It's not often that I feel that way about a song at the soundtrack stage, but I remember everyone saying to each other that "Oojoe Diamond" was a really good song. It's a very important song. But at the time of "Daishoe Diamond", I didn't feel that AKB48 had reached the public at all.
Doku: What are you talking about! It was reaching them!
Hashiyasume: It was a hit!
Tsukino: I wasn't familiar with idols at all, but I knew "Oogoe Diamond" and could sing it.
Kashiwagi: Oh, I didn't realise that!
Kashiwagi: According to the staff, Kenta Matsukuma had entered the competition for AKB48's tenth single, which was the release of "Ousoe Diamond". As a result, Mr Matsukuma's song did not pass the competition, but when he heard 'Daishoe Diamond', he thought at the time that he couldn't beat it. So he was very happy to be involved in the production of the WACK version of this song.
Hashiyasume: I didn't realise that was the case. ......
Tsukino: Matsukuma-san respected the original song so much. He wanted to do the song exactly as the original.
Yua: It's a rare opportunity to be able to sing a song that I loved listening to in this way. This single has become a really important one.


  • 'Is Akimoto Yasushi-san real?'
Doku: Tell us again about the appeal of WACK from a WACK member's point of view.
Yua: From the outside, WACK may look like a tough place to be tied down, but the freedom to let each person's individuality shine through is what makes it so appealing. Of course there are rules, but I think it's a place where you can shine as a human being.
Doku: It's very humane. This may be the charm of WACK or of Mr Watanabe. I feel that the staff and people involved are naturally very humane, and there are a lot of WACK members like that. Me, Coco (Partin Coco) and Yuyu (Yuka Terashima) auditioned in 2016 and were rejected, but we finally got accepted last year. So for five years we've been allowed to work as rejects (laughs), which probably wouldn't happen in AKB48! Do you have opportunities to work with rejected members?
Kashiwagi: No (laughs).
Terashima: WACK says they make exceptions.
Chichi: They don't deny you anything.
Doku: Yes. We don't deny people, and we don't deny possibilities. That is WACK.
Kashiwagi: In the case of AKB48, Akimoto-san's "I'll do anything anyway" is attractive. From the very beginning, he said, "Everyone comes in as amateurs, but if you've been an idol for a little while, you'll find that you don't want to do this or that. But leave the things to the professionals in that field". There is nothing that an amateur girl knows better than a professional in that field, so even if you think you don't like it or don't want to do it, if you don't dive into it once, nothing will expand. In that sense, AKB's attitude of challenging everything comes from Akimoto-san's thinking, and although it may be a different vector from WACK, from what I've heard, it doesn't seem so far apart.
Tsukino: At WACK, the stance is "don't deny what you can't do, try it", so when I'm at WACK, I really feel that not taking action is worse than not doing anything at all.

Doku: By the way, I still can't believe that Dr Akimoto really exists (laughs). I have the image of a unicorn or some such fantasy character.
Tsukino: How much contact do you have with Akimoto-sensei?
Doku: Is he really there?
Kashiwagi: Yes, he's there (laughs). Before the Kashiwak project was decided, Akimoto-san, Watanabe-san and I went out for dinner together. We keep in touch often, but we only meet once or twice a year.
Doku: So he's real. ......!

Doku: I'm going to change the subject, but I have a question for you, Chichi. Why did you audition for BiSH?
Chichi: Eh? (laughs) I've always loved idols, and in AKB48 I was pushing for Erena Ono, who at the time had a "super idol" vibe. I liked those girls for a while and wanted to be like them. But as I grew up and developed my ego, I began to think that it would be really boring for me to live in such an orthodox way. In the midst of my daily life, when I found the audition for BiSH, I thought, "If I enter here, my life will change. I have no choice but to jump in here". I was worried about it until the very last minute, but I thought, "I have to change my life, I'm going to regret it here", so I applied and auditioned right before the final deadline.
Kashiwagi: It's amazing that you can think about wanting to be orthodox, but also think about jumping into something completely different, even before you enter this world. ...... I could only think of a way to be that way because what I liked was being an orthodox idol. It's really true that 'there's a different person I want to be than I am now', but I didn't realise that until it was too late. In that sense, it's really amazing that I chose the right path in life at that stage.
Chichi: (gets smaller) Thank you very much. ......
Tsukino: You look really happy (laughs).

Doku: It was a good story. Kashiwagi-san, was your first audition AKB?
Kashiwagi: I auditioned for Morning Musume。and failed several times. But I liked idols and I wanted to be on stage. When I was about to give up on Morning Musume。 I was about to give up on Morning Musume, when I found a notice at the end of a fashion magazine that said 'Akihabara 48 wanted'. I'm in the third generation of AKB48, but I also applied for the first generation. The sales pitch for AKB48 was "We're building a dedicated theatre in Akihabara, so you can be on stage every day". When I saw that, I thought, "This is what I'm looking for!" And I thought, "That's what I'm looking for! Even if I couldn't become a famous idol, I just wanted to stand on stage, so I applied for the first generation and didn't get in, but I didn't give up and took the third generation and passed.
Doku: So you passed on the second try!
Chichi: I have also applied for AKB48.
Doku: I didn't know that! I didn't know that!
Chichi: I think it was around the time of "Sakura no Shiori" (15th single released in February 2010).
Kashiwagi: I think it was around the 9th generation? Did the management drop it? ...... What a waste! (Laughter)
Chichi: The 9th generation members were really hot. Yuhan (Yui Yokoyama) and Paruru (Haruka Shimazaki).
Doku: Wow! So this is the story behind AKB48. ......
Chichi: Hassy also failed the first BiSH audition, didn't she?
Hashiyasume: Yes. I failed at that time, but I was chosen to join at the subsequent recruitment. As both AKB48 and the WACK group mature, there seems to be a change in the motivations of those who audition. From 'I just want a chance to be on stage' to 'I want to be a member of that group'.
Kashiwagi: Yes, I think the number of people who want to join AKB48 has also increased.
Chichi: There are fewer strange people at WACK auditions now, aren't there?
Doku: There are fewer! The group interviews in the past were full of ridiculous kids. When I watch the recent WACK joint auditions, I have the impression that most of the kids are decent (laughs).
Kashiwagi: Things are certainly changing, and AKB48 is changing too, with more serious, good-looking girls coming in. In the past, there were many who had dreams of becoming actresses or models after their activities in AKB48, so they were more selfish or competitive.

  • Dreams to be realised through the Kashiwak collaboration
Doku: Kashiwagi-san has been collaborating with WACK since last year.
Kashiwagi: First of all, I want to stand in front of the audience at SPY. We had a lot of fun at the live performance at the end of the year, so we want to make a place to perform with these members.
Hashiyasume: That's a dream for all of us!
Kashiwagi: Ideally, we would like to appear on music programmes as SPY. But I hear that it's hard to fit it into our schedule (laughs).
Chichi: let's pry it open!
Kashiwagi: We want to do something unconventional so that people who are not our fans can get to know the group.
Chichi: BiSH will pry open the schedule (laughs).
Tsukino: Gang Parade is free!
Miki: Gang Parade is always free!

Doku: Lastly, Chichi, please give us a summary of this roundtable discussion.
Chichi: Why me? (laughs) I think the deeply rooted WACK-ness of WACK and the strength as an idol that AKB48 has cultivated can be conveyed in this roundtable. I think it also showed how Kashiwagi-san is committed to SPY and how much we enjoy doing it, so I'm glad that Doxon-san did the interview.
Doku: Really! That's more than I can take! If this interview has caught your attention in any way, I'd like to let you know. I can assure you that each member is five times more attractive than you think!
Chichi: My dream is to perform live and on a singing show.
Doku: And then we'll see each other again in ten years' time (laughs). I aim to realise "Sona wo tsukkake ♡"!
Hashiyasume: In 2032?
Chichi: Just in case, I'll put it on the calendar for 10 years from now (laughs).

2018.03.09 23:18 Oculuris Foreigner Friday #7: The Mountain, the Dark God, and the Blind Musician

Previous Foreigner Friday posts: Ithaqua, Hastur, Shub-Niggurath, Cthugha, Atlach-Nacha, Cxaxakluth
Ghatanothoa, known as the Dark God and as the Monster of the Mount, is a being so hideous that looking upon it will mummify a human. The victim’s body is reduced to being a leather case for a brain immortal until someone else is able to destroy their head and grant them peace.
So, it’s not good to look at this thing. Aside from the fact that it lives under a mountain and is Cthulu’s child, that’s pretty much it. As there isn’t too much to go on other than that this creature’s name might be recognizable to Japanese players due a certain Tokusatsu series, there’ll be a bit of reaching going on in this article. However, I will do my best to keep those other points relevant.
As there aren’t any humans in history who could kill with their eyes, I decided to approach Ghatanothoa’s host from the opposite direction and select a blind person as its candidate. Being able to be in contact with the creature might be easier if there’s zero chance of it turning its host into a suitcase, after all. For this reason, and for a few others, I suggest the early 14th century Japanese monk Akashi Kakuichi. Kakuichi was a blind musician, a player of the biwa, and the historical figure credited with codifying the Heike Monogatari (the epic describing the events, among others, in which Tomoe Gozen, Ushiwakamaru/Minamoto no Yoshitsune, and Mushashibou Benkei fought) into a modern form. Kakuchi was also a biwa hoshi, or blind musician monk of Japan before the Meiji era. Blind individuals, and biwa hoshi in particular, were thought to have shamanistic powers related to their disconnection from the world (blindness counts as that, apparently?) and musical instruments. Different instruments were important for different things: ordinarily, biwa hoshi were as entertainers or as musicians to calm the dead through their music, but the instrument known as the Azusa Yumi was and still remains a sacred part of Japanese culture. Descending from Emperor Jimmu’s connection to Amaterasu, the Azusa Yumi was used in rituals involving the summoning of gods.
A final connection can be found in the Itako, blind women shamans associated with the volcanic mountain Osore-zan. Mount Osore is one of the gates to the underworld in Japanese mythology, and the Itako are shamanistic mediums. I would’ve picked an Itako to be Ghatanothoa’s host, but I couldn’t find a name of any prominent example of their tradition. So to sum up, we have a monster that lives under a mountain, causes a fate worse than death when looked at, and is Cthulu’s child. For the host, I’ve selected a blind Japanese (as Cthulu possessed Katsushika Hokusai, another Japanese artist) musician/historian that has a tenuous connection (by degrees of separation) to a sulfuric mess of a mountain.
What’s your opinion on my reasoning? What skills and deck might this Foreigner have? Let me know if there's anything else I should be doing to make these better. Next week’s Foreigner is Tsathoggua, a big hairy shapeshifter that sleeps a lot.

2017.04.19 17:18 Mido128 Some Japanese Skyward Sword Translations

I love looking at the literal translation of the Japanese text from Zelda games. You always find interesting discoveries that can sometimes completely change your understanding of Zelda lore. I've seen a lot of translations from OoT, WW, and TP, but never from Skyward Sword. This seemed like a gaping hole in our knowledge, since SS is one of the most important games when it comes to lore in the Zelda universe. It's literally the origin story. So, I decided to Google, to see what I could find. I've only found two passages from the game, but they seem to be goldmines. Instead of dissecting them by myself, I'm going to post them here and let the community have at them.
First of all, some acknowledgment about where I got these translations from. The Zelda speech was posted here, and the Demise speech was posted here.
So, here's the speech by Zelda when she explains everything to Link:
... よく ここまで 辿り着いてくれました. リンク...
... Yoku koko made tadoritsuitekuremashite. Rinku...
[B]So you’ve finally come all the way here. Link...
You've come so far, Link...I'm glad you made it.
もう インパ から 聞いていますね? ここは 遙かな昔...
Mou Inpa kara kiiteimasune? Koko wa harukana mukashi...
Did Inpa tell you already? This is a far away era...
I imagine Impa filled you in on everything. We've traveled very far from home...to the distant past.
終焉の者と呼ばれる魔族の長と女神が戦った 大地の傷が まだ癒えていない 過去の時代...
Shuuen no Mono to yobareru Mazoku no osa to Megami ga tatakatta daichi no kizu ga mada ieteinai kako no jidai...
The past era when the Land’s wounds of the battle of between the Goddess and the so-called “Shuuen no Mono” which was the Lord of the Demon Tribe had not healed yet...
In this era, the wounds inflicted on the land during the battle between the goddess and the demon king known as Demise have not yet healed.
そう スカイロフト で 語りつがれる 伝説は おとぎ話ではなく. 真実の物話なのです. 全てをお話ししましょう...
Sou Sukairofuto de kataritsugareru densetsu wa otogi hanashi de wa naku. Shinjitsu no monogatari na no desu. Subete wo ohanashi shimashou...
Correct. The legends narrated in Skyloft aren’t fairy tales. They were real histories. Shall I explain everything...?
All the fairy tales about that war we heard growing up in Skyloft...Incredible as it may seem, they appear to be all too real. I think it's time you learned the whole story. Let me try to explain...
トライフォース... それは万物の理すら ねじ曲げ 手にした者の願いを叶える 古代神の創造した 万能の力.
Toraifoosu... Sore wa banbutsu no kotowarisura nejimage te ni shita mono no negai wo kanaeru kodaishin no souzoushita bannou no chikara.
The Triforce... That’s the Absolute Power created by the Ancient Gods, the essence of all things and the twisted thing which can grant the desire of the one which acquires it.
The old gods created a supreme power that gave anyone who possessed it the ability to shape reality and fulfill any desire. They called it the Triforce.
世界を欲した終焉の者はトライフォースを手中に収めようと魔物をあやつり 戦をしかけてきました.
Sekai wo hooshita shuuen no mono wa toraifoosu wo suuchuu ni osameyou to mamono wo ayatsuri ikusa wo shikatekimashita.
The “Shueen no Mono” which desired the world sought to capture the Triforce, so it controlled monsters and staged battles.
In his thirst to make the world his own, Demise readied a massive army of monsters for war. He sought to take the Triforce for himself by force.
最悪の事態を恐れた女神は大地を切り抜いて 人間と共にトライフォースを空へ逃がした...
Saiaku no jitai wo osoreta megami wa daichi wo kirinuite ningen to tomo ni toraifoosu wo sora he nigashita...
Fearing the worst case, the Goddess cut off the Land and had the Triforce along with the humans flee to the skies...
The goddess feared for her people. She used her power to send both them and the Triforce into the sky on a slice of earth she cut away from the land.
それが 私達の故郷 スカイロフトです...
Sore ga watashi no furusato sukairofuto desu...
That’s our home, Skyloft...
This floating rock became the new home of our people. In time, it came to be known as Skyloft.
苦闘の未... 女神ハイリアは 終焉の者を封印しました.
Kutou no sue... Megami Hairia wa shuuen no mono wo fuuinshimashita.
At the end of the struggle... The Goddess Hylia managed to seal the “Shuuen no Mono”.
After a long and fierce battle, the goddess, Hylia, succeeded in sealing away Demise.
けれど彼の強大の力の前では封印を永くは保てない... それは火を見るよりも明らかでした.`
Keredo kare no kyoudai no chikara no mae de wa fuuin wo nagaku wa tamotenai... Sore wa hi wo miru yori akirakadeshita.
But when faced with his tremendous power, the seal wouldn’t hold forever... That was clearer that looking at a fire...
However, soon after the demon king was imprisoned, it became clear that the seal would not hold long against his fearsome power.
終焉の者は封印を破り 復活を果たせば 戦いで深手を負っていた女神にもう為す術は ありません...
Shuuen no mono wa fuuuin wo yaburi fukkatsu wo hataseba tatakai de fukage wo otteita megami ni mou nasusube wa arimasen...
If the “Shuuen no Mono” were to break the seal and achieve his resurrection... The Goddess, owing heavy wounds from the battle, had no other methods to stop him.
Hylia had suffered grave injuries in her battle with the demon king. She knew that if he broke free again, there would be no stopping him.
このままでは終焉の者は 必ず復活する... この大地に生きる者にとって それは 世界の終わりを意味します.
Kono mama de wa shuuen no mono wa kanarazu fukkatsusuru... kono daichi no ikirumono ni totte sore wa sekai no owari wo imishimasu.
Like that, the “Shuuen no Mono” would definitely resurrect... And for those living in the Land, it meant the world’s end.
And if the demon king were to free himself, it would mean the end of the world for all beings of this land.
彼を完全に滅するため女神ハイリアは 2つの策を講じました.
Kare wo kanzen ni messuru tame megami Hairia wa futatsu no saku wo koujimashita.
To completely destroy him, the Goddess Hylia prepared 2 plans...
In order to put an end to the demon king, Hylia devised two separate plans and set them both into motion.
1つは選ばれし者を導く為にあなたが背負った剣に宿る精霊ファイを創造すること.
Hitotsu wa erabareshi mono wo michibiku tame ni anata ga seotta tsurugi ni yadoru seirei Fai wo souzousurukoto.
One was to create the spirit Fai, which resides in the blade you carry on, so as to guide her Chosen One.
First, she created Fi. She made the spirit that resides in your sword to serve a single purpose: to assist her chosen hero on his mission.
そしてもう1つは... ハイリア自身が神の体を捨て去り 自らの魂を人間に転生させること.
Soshite mou hitotsu wa... Hairia jishin ga kami no karada wo sutesari mizukara no tamashii wo ningen ni tenseisaseru koto.
And the other one… That was for Hylia herself to abandon her Godly body and for her soul to be reincarnated into a human.
Her second plan...was to abandon her divine form and transfer her soul to the body of a mortal.
そう... 終焉の者を消滅させる為 ハイリアは古代神の違産を使おうと決意したのです.
Sou... Shuuen no mono wo shoumetsusaseru tame hairia wa kodaijin no isan wo tsukaou to ketsuishita no desu.
Correct... To annihilate the “Shuuen no Mono”, Hylia decided to use the Ancient Gods’ legacy...
...She made this sacrifice, as you have likely guessed, so that the supreme power created by the old gods could one day be used.
神が創りもの でありながら 神の一族が使うこと叶わぬ 万能の力 トライフース...
Kami ga tsukurimono de arinagara kami no ichizoku ga tsukau koto kawawanu bannou no chikara torifoosu...
The Absolute Power, the Trifoce, created by the Gods and, such, it couldn’t be used by the Gods’ Tribe.
For while the supreme power of the Triforce was created by gods, all of its power can never be wielded by one.
その奇跡に すがる為 女神は 神の力も 不老の肉体も 捨て去る道を選びました...
Sono kiseki ni sugaru tame megami wa kami no chikara mo furou no nikutai mo suteharu michi wo erabimashita...
To lean on that miracle, the Goddess chose the way of abandoning her Godly Power and her Immortal Body...
Knowing this power was her last and only hope, the goddess gave up her divine powers and her immortal form.
もう気付いているでしょう, リンク...
Mou kizuiteirudeshou, Rinku...
You must’ve realized it by now, Link?
You've probably figured it out by now, haven't you, Link?
選ばれし者はあなた. 人に転生した女神ハイリアは... 私... ゼルダなのです.
Erabareshi mono wa anata. Hito ni tenseishita Megami Hairia wa... Watashi... Zeruda na no desu.
You’re the Chosen One. And the human into which the Goddess Hylia reincarnated is... me... Zelda.
You are the chosen hero, and I, Zelda...I am the goddess reborn as a mortal.
あの鳥乗りの議の日... ギラヒムの竜卷に巻かれた 私は 地上へ落下し.
Ano torinori no gi no hi... Girahimu no tatsumaki ni makareta watashi wa chijou he rakkashi.
On that Bird-Riding Ritual Day... I was hit by Girahimu’s tornado and I descended towards the surface.
The day of the ceremony, Ghirahim's tornado tossed me out of the sky and down to the world below.
魔族の手に落ちる寸前 封印の地の老婆に救われました.
Mazoku no te ni ochiru sunzen fuuin no chi no rouba ni sukuwaremashita.
On the verge of falling into the Demon Tribe’s hands, I was saved by the Sealed Land’s old woman.
I was nearly captured by the demonic forces, but I was rescued at the last moment by the old woman who lives in the Sealed Grounds.
ハイリアの記億を失っていた私は彼女から 自分の正体を... 為すべき事を聞かされ.
Hairia no kioku wo ushinatteita watashi wa kanojo kara jibun no shoutai wo... Nasubeki koto wo kikikasare.
I, having lost Hylia’s memories, got told by her about my true identity... And about what had to be done.
I had no memory at all of my existence as Hylia, but she explained it to me. She helped me to remember who I was...and what I had to do.
女神像に祈りを捧げるために各地の神殿をめぐりました.
Megamizou ni inori wo sasageru tame ni kakuchi no shinden wo megurimashita.
I travelled across the various regions’ Temples to offer my prayers to the Goddess Statues.
I set out to pray at the goddess statues located in each temple across the land.
女神像から 記億を得た私は 女神の遣いであるインパ に導かれ. この過去へ辿り着いたのです...
Megamizou kara kioku wo eta watashi wa megamai no tsukai de aru Inpa ni michibikukare. Kono kako he tadoritsuita no desu...
Having obtained the memories from the Goddess Status, I was guided by the Goddess’ servant, Inpa. And we reached this past...
Each statue stirred up memories within me. After I visited them all, Impa, an agent of the goddess, led me here...to the past.
... 全ては終焉の者の復活を阻止する為でした...
... Subete wa shuuen no mono no fukkatsu wo sosshisuru tame deshita...
... All was to halt the “Shuuen no Mono” from resurrecting...
...All of this is part of the same great effort to prevent the revival of Demise.
リンク... 封印を受けた終焉の者は人の形を奪われ 獣の姿を変えています.
Rinku... Fuuuin wo uketa shuuen no mono wa hito no katachi wo ubaware kemono no sugata wo kaeteimasu.
Link... The sealed “Shuuen no Mono” lost his humanoid form and got transformed into a beastly form.
Stripped of his true physical form by the seal that binds him, he takes the shape of an abomination.
... けれど そんな状態でも 野に放たれれば 彼は簡単に世界を破滅させてしまう.
Keredo sonna joutai demo no ni hanatarereba kara wa kantan ni sekai wo hametsusaseteshimau.
However, even in that condition... Were he to roam free, he could easily lay ruin to the world.
But even in his hideous state, he's more than capable of devouring this land if we allow him to do what he desires.
終焉の者が封印から はい出る事をなんとしても阻止せねばなりません.
Shuuen no mono ga fuuuin kara haideru koto wo nantoshitemo sosshiseneba narimasen.
We must stop the “Shuuen no Mono” from exiting the the seal no matter what it takes to do so.
We must stop him from freeing himself from the seal that imprisons him. At any cost...
私はこれより この地で... この時代で封印の安定を図ります.
Watashi wa koreyori kono chi de... Kono jidai de fuuuin no antei wo hakarimasu.
I will, from now, and from this land... From this age... Attempt to stabilize the sealing.
That is why I intend to remain here in this time and place... To sustain the seal as best as I can.
私が ここでそうしている限り 私達のいた時代までは かろうじて彼を抑えられるのです.
Watashi ga koko de soushiteiru kagiri watashitachi no ita jidai made wa karoujite kare wo osaerareru no desu.
As long as I’m here... I can barely keep him suppressed until the era we come from.
As long as I continue this vigil, we may be able to prevent the demon king from fully reviving himself in our own time.
女神ハイリアが... 過去の私が施した封印を少しでも長く安定させておく...
Megami Hairia ga... kako no watashi ga hodokoshita fuuin wo sukoshite demo nagaku anteisaseteoku...
The seal which the Goddess Hylia... which my past self erected... I’ll be trying to stabilize it for a bit longer...
I must maintain the seal that Hylia--rather, that I--created so long ago and keep it strong for as long as I am able.
それが記億を取り戻したゼルダの行うべき使命なのです.
Sore ga kioku wo torimodshita zeurda no okonaube shimei na no desu.
That’s the mission I must do as Zelda, who has retrieved her memories...
With the memories of my former life returning to me, I can see now that this is my purpose.
リンク. 女神がファイを... 最強の剣をあなたへ託した理由の1つ.
Rinku. Megami ga Fai wo... saikoyou no tsurugi wo anata he takushita riyuu no hitotsu.
Link. Here’s one reason which the Goddess entrusted Fai... and the ultimate sword... to you.
Link, the goddess created Fi and the great blade she's a part of for very specific reasons.
それは 私達の時代で あなたが戦った巨大な魔物... 終焉の者の撃退なのです...
Sore wa watashitachi no jidaide anata ga tatakatta kyodaina mamona... shuuen no mono no gekitai na no desu...
And that’s to repel the gigantic monster which you’ve battled in our era... To repel the “Shuuen no Mono”...
For the task of standing against Demise in the monstrous form he now assumes rests solely on your shoulders.
あなたは その剣で 二度も 彼を退けてくれました... ありがとう, リンク.
Anata wa sono tsurugi de nido mo kare wo shirisoketekuremashita... Arigatou, Rinku.
You’ve managed to repel him twice thanks to that sword... Thank you, Link.
Back in our own time, you've already driven him back into his prison twice now. I can't thank you enough for that, Link.
そして... 長い旅を経た あなたは多くのものを 手に入りました...
Soshite... Nagai tabi wo eta anata wa ooku no mono wo te ni irimashita...
And... You, who have undergone a long trip, have obtained several things...
During your long journey, you've grown so much.
数多の謎を克服し 和恵 を. 剣をきたえ 共に成長し 力 を. 女神の試練に打ち勝ち 勇気 を.
Amata no nazo wo koufukushi chie wo. Tsurugi wo kitae tomo ni seichoushi chikara wo. Megamani no shiren ni uchikahi yuuki wo.
The Wisdom to overcome many enigmas. The Power to train your sword and which grows together with it. The Courage to surpass the Goddess’ Trial.
You learned wisdom from solving devious puzzles and traps. You gained power by honing and tempering both yourself and your sword. And by overcoming the trials set before you by the goddess, you've found true courage.
今のあなたには 神の違産を... あのトライフースを手にする足る力が 宿っているのです.
Ima no anata ni wa kami no isan wo... Ano toraifoosu wo te ni suru taru chikara ga yadotteiru no desu.
Now you host enough strength to obtain the Gods’ Legacy... To obtain the Trifroce.
Now that those qualities reside in you, you are worthy of wielding the power the old gods left behind for our kind. You can claim the Triforce.
多くの苦境を乗り越え この地に辿り着きし勇者よ. その和恵を, その力を, 勇気 を 認め. いま そなたに女神の刄を 授ける.
Ooku no kukyou wo norikoe kono chi ni tadoritsukishi yuusha yo. Sono chie, sono chikara, yuuki wo mitome. Ima sonata ni megami no yaiba wo sazuekru.
Hero who has overcome many predicaments and reached this land. I recognize that Wisdom, Power and Courage. Now I shall bestow the Goddess’ Blade into thee.
Valiant hero, you have endured many hardships and journeyed far in your quest to reach this place. Along your travels you have found wisdom, power, and courage, and for this I shall bless your sword with the goddess's power.
そなたと そして結ばれし剣に大いなる退魔の力を!
Sonata to soshite musubareshi ken ni ooinaru taima no chikara wo!
To thee and thee linked blade, I grant the grand Demon-Repelling Power!
May it give you and your sword the strength to drive back the abomination that threatens this land!
その甲に輝く光こそ あなたが聖なる力を宿せる 勇者である証... トライフースを示す紋章です.
Sono kou ni kagayaku hikari koso anata ga seinaru chikara wo yadoseru yuusha de aru akashi... Toraifoosu no shimesu monshou desu.
That light sparkling in that instep is the proof that you are the Hero in whom the sacred power resides... A crest displaying the Triforce.
The mark you see upon the back of your hand is proof that you are the hero of legend and that within you dwells sacred power. It is the mark of the Triforce.
さあ リンク. 剣を抜き放つのです.
Saa Rinku. Tsurugi wo nukihanatsu no desu.
Alright, Link. Take out the sword.
Stand now, Link. Draw your sword.
... リンク. 私は あなたに 謝らなければ なりません.
... Rinku. Watashi wa anata ni ayamaranakereba narimasen.
... Link. I must apologize to you.
Link, before I say another word, I feel like I owe you an apology.
あなたの甲に 浮き上がったそれは 万能の力 トライフースの紋章...
Anata no kou ni ukiagatta sore wa bannou no chikara toraifoosu no monshou...
What’s shown up in your instep is the crest of the Absolute Power, the Triforce...
You see, the mark of the Triforce on your hand is a symbol of the greatest power in this world.
その実体を 手に出来れば トライフースの力をもって 終焉の者を完全に消滅させられる.
Sono jittai wo te ni dekireba toraifoosu no chikara wo motte shuuen no mono wo kanzen ni shoumetsusaserareru.
If you can obtain the real one, then the Triforce’s power will allow for us to completely annihilate the “Shuuen no Mono”.
If you can obtain the actual Triforce, we will have the power to vanquish Demise once and for all.
けれど その力を扱えるのは 多数の中でも ごく限られた 強よき魂の持ち主だけなのです.
Keredo sono chikara wo atsukaeru no wa amata no naka demo goku kagirareta tsuyoki tamashii no mochinushidake na no desu.
But, the only one who can handle that power... It needs to be the holder of a strong soul. And only a very few amongst the masses have it...
The problem is, among the countless souls in this world, only a select few--those with an unbreakable spirit--can wield its might.
太古の神々が 何故 トライフースを創造したのかは 誰にも わかりません.
Taiko no kamigami ga naze Toraifoosu wo sozoushita no ka wa dare ni mo wakarimasen.
Nobody knows why the Ancient Gods created the Triforce.
It's impossible to know the true reason why the old gods created the Triforce.
けれど 私はこう思おうのです.
Keredo watashi wa kou omou no desu.
But this is what I think.
But I have a theory of my own.
神が創りしものでありながら 神の一族が使えぬ力...
Kami ga tsukurishi mono de ari nagara kami no ichizoku ga tsukaenu chikara...
Despite it being created by the Gods, it’s a power which the Gods’ Tribe can’t use...
The gods created the Triforce, yet they specifically designed it so that their own kind could never use its power.
それは 神ならぬ者に与えられた 希望ではないだろうかと
Sore wa kami naranu mono ni ataerate kibou de wa nai darou ka to
Couldn’t that be a hope which is granted to ones which aren’t Gods?
Somehow, I think that may have been their way of giving hope to all the mortal beings of the land.
... そう だから
... Sou dakara.
... True... That’s why...
...Which brings us back to you.
世界の希望のために 終焉の者を滅するために ハイリアが 選んだ 強き魂の人...
Sekai no kibou no tame ni shuuen no mono wo messuru tame ni hairia ga eranda tsuyoki tamashii no hito...
That’s why Hylia chose a human with a strong soul, for the sake of the world’s hope and to destroy the “Shuuen no Mono”...
To face Demise and give the land hope, the goddess, Hylia, needed someone with an unbreakable spirit.
それがあなた
Sore ga anata.
And that’s you.
That someone is you, Link.
けれど 万能の力を操る為には... あなたの魂が 多くの試練を乗き越え 勇者として 覚醒する 必要があった
Keredo bannou no chikara wo ayatsuru tame ni wa... Anata no tamashii ga ooku no shiren wo norikoe yuusha toshite kakuseisuru hitsuyou ga atta.
But, in order to control the Absolute Power... Your soul needed overcome several trials and you needed to awaken as a Hero.
But spirit alone wasn't enough. You had to overcome many trials and awaken the hero within yourself so that you could wield that supreme power.
だから女神 ハイリア が... 私は...
Dakara Megamai Hairia ga... Watashi wa...
So that’s why the Goddess Hylia... Why I...
And so Hylia... I mean, and so I...
あなたが ゼルダを救う為 試練に 身を投じてくれると信じて...
Anata ga Zeruda wo sukuu tame shiren ni mi wo toujitekureru to shinjite...
I believed that you, to save Zelda, would entrust your flesh to the trial...
I knew that if it meant saving Zelda, you would throw yourself headfirst into any danger, without even a moment's doubt...
あなたを... 利用して...
Anata wo... Riyoushite...
I... used you.
I... I used you.
リンク. このような運命に 巻き込んでしまって ごめんなさい...
Rinku. Kono youna unmei ni makikondeshimatte gomennasai...
Link. I’m sorry to have dragged you into this “Fate”.
I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am for pulling you into all of this, Link.
けれどこれは この世界の命運をかけて 戦いなのです... だから あなたにも 力を貸して欲しい...
Keredo kore wa kono sekai no meiun wo kakete tatakai na no desu... Dakara anata ni mo chikara wo kashite hoshii...
But this is a battle in which the world’s Fate is at stake... That’s why I’d like for you to lend me strength...
But you have to understand this is a war, and the fate of the land hangs in the balance. I need your strength to tip the scales in our favor...
我ながら ずいぶん 勝手な 言い草ですね... でも その 罰は受けます.
Warenagara zuibun kattena iigusadesune... De mono batsu wa ukemasu.
Those were rather selfish comments, even for me... But I’ll accept that punishment,
All that may be well intentioned and true, but it doesn't mean it's right...and it doesn't excuse my actions. But I'm prepared to pay the price for what I've done.
封印を安定させる為 私はここに眠りに... 数千年の 永き眠りに つくのですから.
Fuuin wo anteisaseru tame watashi wa kono ni nemur ni... Suusennen no nagaki nemuri ni tsukuno desu kara.
So as to stabilize the seal, I’ll go to sleep here... An eternal sleep which will take several thousands of years...
To ensure that the seal holds, I will remain here in this time...deep in sleep for thousands of years.
... リンク... 本当に ごめんね ごめんなさい...
... Rinku... Hontou ni gomen ne gomennasai...
Link. I’m really sorry. I’m sorry.
Link...I can't say it enough. I'm so sorry for the way I had to involve you in this.
でも わたし も記憶が戻るまで 全然知りなかった... わたし達が こんな運命を背負ってるだなんて
Demo watashi mo kioku ga modoru made zenzen shirinakatta... Watashitachi ga konna unmei wo seotteruda nante.
But until I recovered the memories, I didn’t know at all... That we were burdening such a “Fate”...
But until my memory of things before our lifetime returned to me, I had no idea we were fated to carry such a heavy destiny.
... わたしは ただ一緒に... ずっと リンクと一緒に いたかっただけなのに...
... Watashi wa tada issho ni... Zutto Rinku to issho ni itakatta dake na no ni...
... I only wanted to be along... To be along with Link...
Before all this, I was happy just spending my days hanging around with you in Skyloft. I wanted that feeling to last forever.
リンク. わたしは確かに 女神の生まれ変わりだけど... 今でも お父様の娘で リンクの幼馴じみのゼルダなの...
Rinku. Watashi wa tashika ni megami no umarekawaridakedo... Ima demo otousama no musume de Rinku no osananjimi no Zeruda na no...
Link. While I certainly am the reborn Goddess... I still am Father’s daughter and Link’s childhood friend, Zelda...
While it's true that I am Hylia reborn, I'm still my father's daughter and your friend...I'm still your Zelda.
終焉の者が完全に消滅したら もう封印は必要なくなって わたしも 目覚る事が出来る...
Shuuen no Mono ga kanzen ni shoumetsushitara mou fuuin wa hitsuyounakunatta watashi mo mezameru koto ga dekiru...
When the “Shuuen no Mono” is totally destroyed and the sealing is no longer needed... Then I’ll be able to wake up...
When Demise is finally gone, there will be no more need for the seal that binds him, and then I'll be able to wake up.
... ねえ リンク. いつもは お寝坊さん の あなたを わたしが 起こしてに行っていたけれど.
... Nee Rinku. Itsumo wa onebousan no anata wo watashi ga okoshite ni itteitakeredo...
Hey, Link. Usually, I’m the one who goes to wake you up because you oversleep, but...
So I'm going to ask you a favor, sleepyhead. Ever since we were kids, I'd always be the one to wake you up when you slept in.
今度は リンクが わたしを起こしに来てくれるかな?
Kondo wa Rinku ga watashi wo okoshi no kitekureru ka na?
Next time, you, Link, will be the one to come wake me up?
But this time, when all of this is over, will you come to wake me up?
 
And here is what Demise says when you first meet him:
... Omae ga megami no kishi ka...
So! You are the Goddess' knight, then...?
...So you are the chosen knight of the goddess.
Soshite...
And...
... Awarena.
How pitiful.
Intriguing...
Ware wo nossuru tame to wa ie ningen nado ni narihateka...
Even if she claims it was for the sake of eluding me, she went to the extreme of becoming a mere human...
The goddess lowered herself to a mortal existence to keep me imprisoned.
Ano kedataku ririshikatta megami Hairia ga na...
Even that the brave and so-prideful Goddess Hylia went to such ends...
How pathetic. This bag of flesh pales in comparison to the magnificence of her previous form.
... Hou. Omae mo ano ningen mo megami wo tasukeyou to iu no ka?
Hum. So both you and that human want to help the Goddess, you mean to say?
Hmm... So you and that other human would stand before obliteration to aid the goddess, would you?
Omoshiroina... Ware no shiru ningendomo wa hitori nokorazu naki wameki himei wo ageru kotoshika dekinu yowaki sonzai dattaga.
Interesting... The humans I know of are all weak existances which are unable to do anything else except weeping and shouting out screams.
How curious... The humans I've known were weak things. Hardly more than insects, shivering under rocks and ready to flee at a mere glimpse of me.
Ware tono tatakai demo hamukaisurasezu megami ni sugari tsuiteita ningen... Ano okubyoumonodomo no matsuei ga na.
So, even if you intend to battle me, you are no more but a human sheltered by the Goddess which tries to strike me... A mere descendant of that herd of cowards...
When last I walked this world, they did little more than scream and cling to their goddess, mewling and praying... Counting on her to protect them. How amusing to think those cowards begot someone like you.
Masumasumotte omoshiroi. Hito ga ware ni tatakai wo idomou to wa...
Really interesting. A human intends to challenge me to a battle...
You grow more fascinating by the second, human. I never imagined I'd meet one of your kind who wished to stand against me in battle.
Iidarou. Jaama ga hairenu basho de aite wo ♥♥♥♥eyarou. Sono yuuki ga aru no narabana.
Fine. I shall face you in place where no-one shall get in the way. If you really have such courage to go for it, then.
Very well, then. I shall prepare a place for us where we will not be bothered by distractions. If you still have the courage to face me, seek me there.
Inochi wo oshimu naraba nigeda♥♥♥♥e mo kamawan. Ware ga yo wo shihaisuru made no wazukana jikan wo ningenrashiku nakikuru ga ii... Daga mazoku no yo ni aragau i ga aru to iunonara... Ware no ato wo ottekoi. Sukoshi deareba matteiyarou...
I do not care if you value your life and run away. Go ahead and weep like a human during the little time left before I rule the world... But if you claim of having the courage to step into the Demon Tribe's world, then... Come after me. I shall wait for a little while.
If you fear for your life, do not follow me. You can spend what little time your world has left cowering and crying, as befits your kind. But if you truly desire to raise your blade against the world I would build, come for me. I've waited eons to return. I can spare a few more moments to let you decide.
 
And when you go to defeat him:
Hou... Kitaka. Kakugo wa dekiteiru you da na ningen...
Hum... You came. You seem to be be prepared, human...
Ah, so you've decided to meet your end in battle after all. It pleases me greatly to see such misplaced valor, human.
Yoku miteoke. Kore ga omae no manako ni utsuru saigo no keshiki to naru...
Contemplate. This shall become the last scenery to be engraved in your sight...
Take a moment to appreciate your surroundings, for where we stand shall serve as your tomb for eternity.
Kami no ichizoku no nagaki urami... Waga chikara wo kaihou suru yorokobi...
The flowing hatred towards the Gods' Tribe... The joy which comes with the release of my power...
The hate for the gods that has boiled in my veins...
Subete wo omae ni tatakitsuketeyarou.
I shall discharge all of them into you.
You will taste all of it in the bite of my blade.
Omae ga ware no mae ni dorehodo no toki tatteirareru no ka... Sukoshi tanoshimasetekureyo?
I wonder how much time you will last standing against me... Will you try to make it interesting?
The only question left is how long you will manage to remain standing before I take your life. Try to keep it interesting for me, would you?
Sekai wa imayori gaga shihaika ni okareu!
The world shall now submit to my ruling!
And when you do fall, know that your world and everything in it is mine to dominate... Mine to subjugate... Mine to rule!
Ware ni sabamuku orokanamonodomo wa ichizoku routou mina kono daichi yori keshisattekureruwa!!
Those foolish herds which oppose me... Their tribes, their members... All shall be wiped out from this Land!!
When I finish with you, you can take solace in knowing your friends and kin will soon follow, as I wipe all who oppose me from the face of this world!
So♥♥♥♥e ano bannou no chikara...
And when I possess the absolute power...
...It won't be long now. At last, the almighty power I've sought for millennia...
Torfaifoosu wo waga te ni osame...
When I possess the Triforce...
I will take the Triforce for my own...
Mirai eikou mazoku no shihaisuru yo wo!!
The world's future shall be forever ruled by the Demon Tribe!!
And the world shall be under my foot for eternity!
 
What Fi says about Demise:
Chuushiku taishou no meishou Shuuen no Mono.
The name of the targeted object is "Tyrannical Being".
Target lock: Demise
Toki wo koe zettaitekina sonzaito♥♥♥♥e aritsutsuketeiru ma no kongen desu.
A totally overwhelming existence which has overcome Time itself and is the origin of the ever-so-present "Demons"...
This eternal being has conquered time itself. It is the source of all monsters.
Sono sugata wa mirumono ni yotte chigau tomo jidai ni yotte chigau tomo iitsutaerareteimasu.
It is said that its form varies according to the era and the one who witnesses it.
According to tales passed down through generations, it appears differently in each epoch and to each person who lays eyes on it.
 
What Demise says when you defeat him:
Ningen yo! Ware wo ryousgasehi, tsuyoki ningen yo!!
Human! Having been able to overcome me... You are a strong human!!
Extraordinary. You stand as a paragon of your kind, human.
... Migoto da. Daga oboeteoke. Kore wa owari de wa nai...
Splendid. But, remember... This is not over...
You fight like no man or demon I have ever known. Though this is not the end.
Ware no zouo wa... Mazoku no noroi wa... Yuukyuu no toki no hatemade rinne wo egaku.
My hatred... The curse of the Demon Tribe... They shall continously go on reincarnating until the end of all times.
My hate...never perishes. It is born anew in a cycle with no end!
Wasurena! Kurikaesu no da!!
Do not forget it! I shall repeat it!!
I will rise again!
Omaetachi wa... Megami no chi to yuusha no tamashii wo motsumonodomo wa towa ni kono jubaku kara nogarerarenu!
You people shall... You people who possess the blood of the Goddess and the soul of hero shall... forever be unable to escape from this curse!
Those like you... Those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero... They are eternally bound to this curse.
Kono zouo to onnen ga... Sono konke ga kisamara to tomo ni chinerareta yami no umi wo eien ni mogaki samayoi tsuzukeru no da!!
This hatred and grudge... Its evolution shall forever painfully wander across this blood-stained "Dark Sea" along with you lowlifes forever!!
An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow your kind, dooming them to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time!
 
Finally, here's a note from the translator on Demise's "name" in Japanese:
"Shueen" normally means "end" or "apocalypse", so it should be the "Apocalyptic One". Yet when Zelda speaks of him during your reunion in the past (Hylia's Temple) she mentions his name in the context of "The Shuuen no Mono which desired to rule the world".
There, according to my Japanese teacher (a Japanese from Oosaka himself) told me that there was a trick: given how this guy wanted to "rule" then the meaning changed to that of "ruler" or "tyrant", so "Tyrannical Being" is a correct translation.
In short: in Japan he's know as either "Demon King" or "Tyrannical Being" yet he doesn't have a "name" per se.
 
I'm sure you'll agree that we'll have to make some adjustments in our understanding again!
