Tetsuo Hara's follow-up to Fist of the North Star! An epic set during the golden age of samurai, inspired by a real life legend!
Previous:>>288093137The last volume had a single page of translation notes. I wanted to post it in the last thread, but it hit the image limit.
>>288154997>>288155013a bit more bend to those spears and this could have been straight from kingdom
>camellias椿 (つばき - tsubaki)https://www.fujingaho.jp/lifestyle/tea-flower/a62379168/flower-language-tsubaki/White camellias are usually regarded as symbols of purity.
>His coat is a black-bay...In the Italian, this was translated as "marrone" (brown) but in the original Japanese, it's 鹿毛 (kage). I don't know much about horses. I think "bay colored" horses can have a wide variety of hair coats, from very dark coats to brown or reddish coats. In Matsukaze's case, his head, body, and legs are supposed to be a black color, but spots around his eyes and muzzle could be a lighter color. In later chapters, the color of Matzukaze's mane is described as white. I know a new Italian translation of Hana no Keiji is being worked on, so I'm curious to see how they'll translate this part when they get here. Maybe instead of "marrone" they'll go with "baio" or something.Also, I don't think we ever see Matsukaze wear a ceremonial headdress in the shape of a cockscomb (or rooster's crest?) in the entire manga. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Ganbare, OP!
I'll post the rest of volume 5 tomorrow.
>>288131695>>288131706>>288131718>>288131729And I wanted to mention this yesterday. Ikusa no Ko actually concludes with the Battle of Okehazama. But it'll be a long time before I get around to translating it.

>>288155593This sword was only folded 998 times. Hardly good for more than wall hanging.
>>288161400Except Akechi Mitsuhide apparently.
>>288161528It is really funny that to this day, no one knows why he killed Nobunaga or how he convinced his men to actually do it.
>>288155706>>288155734>>288155765>>288155796How sweet.

>>288171477Ok!
>>288161556Most likely theory is thst he wished to restore ashikaga shogunate and oda stood in his way along with personal reasonsMitsuhide had his fiefdom confiscatedHe was regularly punished and humiliated by OdaHe had friendly ties with some guy who Oda would conquer so he tried to act as a mediator but it didnt workThere is also a theory about how gave up his mom as a hostage to a clan in order for them to submit to nobunagaNobunaga then crucified high ranking members the clan (it was called hano/hanato)Said clan counter crucified his momThis sadly didnt happen it seems and someone fucked up the sources but its funny to imagine that they tried to outcrucify each otherI for one belive that Mitsuhide had been mogged so hard by Nobunaga it broke his mind and caused him to act like a jew
>western style clockIt says Nanban in the original Japanese, I wanted to change it back to Nanban but I forgot
>No half measures.In the original Japanese, Suke'emon says to Keiji:傾くなら 傾き通せ (かぶくなら かぶきとおせ - kabu kunara, kabuki toose)That's kind of like saying "if you're going to act eccentric, then be as eccentric as possible."
End of volume 5.
>>288176700Thanks OP.
>>288175955Keiji is a strong believer in neoconfucian values. Merchants all go to hell.

>>288175944>KEIJII YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS HUMILIATION>doesn't do anything and becomes a respectable merchanteither this is a setup for something later on or I just became subverted
>>288175976>>288175981That is adorable.
>>288156753It's good to see that having failed countless time to kill Keiji, each one in a more humiliating way the previous one hasn't mermed Shume confidence in his schemes one bit.
>>288176022Luckiest day of this brat's life.

Keiji really is enjoyable.Like a lighthearted version of Hokuto no Ken.Wish they adapted it decently.
>>288192109Very salient. You seem familiar with the subject.
