DARKHAIR CAPTURED VOLUME ONE - CAPTURED VS. QUEBRADA by Ryusuke Mita translated by Joshua Lesnick Please note, I'm getting by solely on help from dictionaries and my limited knowledge of conjugations. This isn't meant to be a perfect script; just a means to guide the reader. ^_^; UPDATED 7/18/2002! I don't have much to do without a tablet, so I started on #3. Normally, I'm not this prolific, so enjoy it while you can. =) UPDATED 7/17/2002! Treasure #2 completed. I tore many a hair out completing it, and am now bald. Treasure 3 introduces Cap's first major opponent Standpeed. Hopefully I won't take as long getting to it as I took getting to the last half of Treasure 2. ^^; This is a work in progress. You can always find the latest version of this script at: http://studio-zoe.com/kurokami/captured01.txt Keep in mind the updates for this script are very, VERY sporadic. ^^;; 5.

For a wimp like him, my mere powers were good enough. CAP. Yeah... CAP. I see what ya mean! CAMEL. Phew. CAMEL. Look! This must be it! CAMEL. Let's have a look at this prized treasure of his! CAP. Yeah, yeah! CREAK ....? CAMEL. Wha.. BOMMMM CAMEL. What IS this!? MANJI. So THAT's what it is... 27. MANJI. The treasure of Lariat... is Fukatore* *Food consisting of sliced Shark meat CAMEL. I guess that was his favorite food... MANJI. Oh... I see! That's why Lariat was always killing sharks! MANJI. ...and that's where he kept the slices! POM CAP. So, what!? I broke my arm so we could have THAT crap?? GLARE MANJI. Eheh... MANJI. Hey, so it's not a billion dottsu treasure, but it makes a fine stew... MANJI. And so... MANJI. you could say this whole matter was "much a-STEW about nothing!" CAP. Ah, splendid! PERK 28. CAP. Was I supposed to LAUGH at that, you goddamn moron!? BOF MANJI. GERK! NAR. And so, the next day CAMEL. ... CAP. .... FLAIL FLAIL SHUUUUUU NAR. The Rairaiken menu gained a new item... NAR. Fukatore Ramen was added, and they never said why... END TREASURE #1 Translation notes. "Not 'Smurf'... Earth!" The monster claimed Captured was from "Okyuu," the Japanese term for Moxa Cautery, a holistic healing treatment associated with acupuncture which involves burning incense on the skin. I don't see much of a symbolic meaning in the mixup, so I just made up another pun. "A demonic ruffian!" "Boukanma" is how the lady refers to the monster. It literally translates to "demonic ruffian," and when Captured hears this, he repeats "Bou Hanmaa?" meaning "Stick hammer." The joke here is that Captured is too young to know what "Houkanma" means, and the woman ends up having to explain it to him. Again, I just rewrote the pun so that it had the same impact as the original lines. "much a-STEW about nothing." Manji never really said anything about making a stew in the original dialogue, but he did make a bad pun on the Japanese equivalent phrase of "much ado about nothing" he mentioned to Cap earlier. I changed the line to make an English pun. The Japanese phrase is "Kutabire Mouke." He says "Fukatore Mouke" here. The line before it confused me the most out of all the lines in this story, and I never could quite get down what he said. He mentions "Gaseneta," and AFAIK that's the name of an old Japanese music group. I'm not sure why he would bring that up. ^^; 29. NAR. A blue universe, completely full of atmosphere!! NAR. In this strange universe, there exists.... NAR. A hand... NAR. that can become a sword... NAR. which is owned by... 30. NAR. This lad. BING! NAR. The lad's name is Captured. NAR. and in this entire universe... NAR. Together, he and his dad... 31. NAR. Are the only Earthlings. Treasure #2: Otona ni Nareba... When You Become an Adult... ARROWBOX: His Dad 32. MANJI. So we're up to almost 36 billion, dottsu!! MANJI. Only 4 billion more to go... MANJI. ...and I can return to Earth! MANJI. I've been saving for so long... SIIIGH CAP. Well, I hafta say... 90 percent of all the treasure huntin' work around here was done by me... CAP. so I think I deserve some thanks... MANJI. OOOH! Earth, my beloved homeland!! CAP. De-deepest thanks, my son... CAP. So... Earth, huh? RUB RUB 33. CAP. Is it a nice place? MANJI. Yes... it is a WONDERFUL place... MANJI. When I was there, I lived in a country called "Japan"... MANJI. It was a place where Geisha girls wearing only panties would strut down the street, and if you called on them... MANJI. They'd do all sorts of things for you such as XXXXX and OOOOO.... MANJI. See? A nice place. CAP. What a weird country... CAMEL. Unca' Maaanji... 34. CAMEL. Is it all right to open the shop now? MANJI. Oh! Sorry, Camel... VOICE. Heeeelp! MANJI. Hey, Captured... When I return to Earth... MANJI. What are you going to do? CAP. Me? I'm stayin' in this galaxy... CAP. I've grown to like it here. SHOOO-PATATATA KIDS. HELP US!!! CAMEL. There's trouble outside!!

I'm not fond of brats. SHOO SHOO GIRL. That was so cool! GIRL. I wanna be your bride! 37. CAP. Hey dad. Some ramen for these four. KID. Excuse me, but... I got a weird thing to ask. Do you mind? CAP. Maybe, maybe not. Let's hear it. KID. You're a Spect'Master, aren't you? (Oooh!) CAP. Yep. Sure am. KID. WHOOOOA.. KID. R-really!? I thought so! KID. So what's a "Specterman"? KID. Listen to this! It's really cool! 38. KID. Long ago... there existed unrivaled forces, known as Specters... KID. Twenty-sex atrocious, brutal gods... KID. Each of them existed only to kill. KID. 200 wizards confronted them... KID. and chanted 150 chants... KID. When finally, all 26 Specters were confined in a set of rings. KID. Whoa. KID. Then... they were buried deep underground... KID. but after some time, several of them were released by treasure hunters, as the castle moat was under construction... 39. CAP. So... You know what this guy in here is all about. KING. A SPECT'MASTER!? DEMON. Y.. yeah, Mr. Kitchen Sink, sir... KITCHEN. Come now... perhaps you were only seeing things? That was just a bratty little kid. GIRL. Idiot... keheh.. KITCHEN. Becoming a Spect'Master is a difficult task even for high priests and wizards! DEMON. But... I could SWEAR he... KITCHEN. Oh... Very well... KITCHEN. If what you say is true... KITCHEN. Then it's time to use... THAT. 40. KID. The ring keeps a chosen person in mind... KID. then the Specter inside FUSES with that person... KID. That is, you could say that the Spect'Master... KID. Is a person who fights with the arm of a god! GIRL. That is... SO... AWESOME! GIRL. I TOTALLY want to be your bride! (Ha ha ha..) CAMEL. .... 41. WHY... are those girls mooning over Cap? VREEEEEK MANJI. Uh, Camel... the frying pan... KID. Being a Spect'Master, people must be frightened when they see you. Isn't it awful? CAP. Not really... I've gotten used to all the reactions... (ha ha ha) VOICE. TOPÉ! WOMAN. Don't talk to that boy, Topé! SLAM MAN. Shouda... come here! TOPÉ. S-Sis.. SHOUDA. Brother! 42. TOPÉ. All right, I'm coming! SHOUDA. What's going on?? SISTER.

Come play with us again! TOPÉ. Forgive me, Sis... TOPÉ. But I know this is right. END TREASURE #2 There were no puns I had to change this time around, but there were a couple lines I had a hell of a time figuring out, and probably ended up translating them badly in the end. ^^; "as the castle moat was under construction..." This sentence confused me when I came across it, 'cause I wasn't sure why a castle was brought up all of a sudden. I think the ` Specters lived in a castle, and that's where the rings were buried, or something like that. The sentence involved Treasure Hunters, a castle, and a moat, and the translation was probably ordered all wrong, but I guess as long as the main point of the story, that the Specter rings became unearthed, is left intact, that's what's important. ^^;;; "So, freak" Kitchen Sink was a really annoying, meandering villain who couldn't keep his mouth shut, and for some reason, a lot of his dialogue was hard to translate. This line in particular drove me nuts, as his original line was "...Naa, Bouzu." for those who don't know, "Bouzu" means "Bonze," the style of haircut where everything except an extremely thin layer of hair is shaven off. Bonze is often found among monks and certain martial arts. So I'm not sure why it's being said here. Kitchen is bald, but he's the one saying the line. I guess it's either a form of slang I don't know about, or maybe the name of the sword. Incidentally, a lot of Kitchen's dialogue in the translation is probably incorrect, but basically the main point is that like many of Cap's adversaries, he's extremely arrogant, and in this case, he's very dependent on the assumption that since he owns what is essentially the universe's most expensive sword, he's unbeatable... Of course, he learns that money can't buy every- thing... 55. Treasure #3: Nazo no Angouban (Zenben) Riddle of the Cryptic Tablet 56. KID. This kid is called an "Earthling." KID.
