Hello. Kenneth Hughes in Japan sent me this new translation of the Japanese Sonic anime. In this translation is every replica translated. Arigato, Kenneth! :) Magnus ------------------ Disclaimer: I was not paid to do this, nor am I a professional translator. I am a Sonic fan. I can speak Japanese enough to get by. I am not fluent. If you speak better, and found a mistake in the translation, by all means e-mail me at HYPERLINK mailto:ken_hughes@hotmail.com. Why might there be mistakes? I have 3 reasons: Japanese sayings might make ABSOLUTLEY no sense in English. In this case, I put it another way or put in something similar. There isn’t a translation. In this case, I put in something similar. I can’t translate, understand, or hear what they are saying. In this case, the dialogue is omitted or something similar is :made up". Sorry but my Japanese just isn’t as good as I’d like it to be. Don’t be discouraged, I’d say 90% of the stuff in here is correct. That’s pretty close. Note: For those of you not familiar with Japan, Eggman is the Japanese Robotnik. Note2: Just so you don’t get lost, I included (Scene Change) whenever the scene changes. Usually when the screen fades to black is when a scene change occurs. Whenever the "camera" goes somewhere else, it is a Scene Change. Note3: However weird it may sound, The Old Owl’s name is never said. They simply call him Old Man. Same with the President. Note4: Just so you don’t get lost I also include some main events in parenthesis. Example: (Explosion) Sonic the Anime Volume 1 "Journey to Eggman Land" Eggman: Hyper Metal Sonic all that is left to do is to copy all his life data. Then you will awaken in perfect form! (Scene Change) Tails: Sonic, I finished it! A jet propelled body board! Isn’t it cool? Do you want to try? Sonic: I’ll pass. Tails: Then I’ll try. Sonic: Tails is still just a kid. Tails: Sonic c’mon! You don’t even need to know how to swim. Sonic: Don’t get cocky and crash into something. Tails: Ahhh! Sonic: Oh. He’s just playing around. Tails: Sonic, help! Sonic! Can you hear me? Help! Sonic: Shut up, Tails!!!! Tails: Sonic... Sonic are you okay? Sonic: I’m fine but--Who the heck was that? Old Man: Mr. Sonic! How are you? Sonic: That old man again? Tails: Sonic, hurry and do something. Sonic: Since you can fly, why don’t you go? Tails: Moron! I can do it by myself. Old Man! Old Man: Oh Tails! Long time, no see. I have a message. Tails: Your plane is on fire! Old Man: Oh! I didn’t notice. Tails: Hold on, I’ll do something! (Explosion) Tails: I won’t let that stop me! Old Man: Oh Tails. Good job. Tails: Oh I just practiced on my body board. Old Man: That’s an accomplishment. Tails: Look AHEAD! Old Man: Huh? Hold on... AHHHHH!!!!! (Scene Change) Tails: SONIC!!!!!!!!! Tails: Thank you, Sonic. Sonic: Old Man, its dangerous... Why don’t you stop riding planes? Old Man: What are you talking about? When I was young I used to won World Speed Race. WA ha ha ha! Tails: Now, you said you had a message? Old Man: Yes, the President... umm... umm.. umm... Sonic: Come to South Island? (Note from Me: South Island is the place where the President lives.) Old Man: Yes that’s it! You must hurry! Sonic: For something like that== Why didn’t you use the phone? Old Man: Oh... yeah. (Scene Change) Sonic: Watch the house, okay? Old Man: I know! Sonic: No he doesn’t... Let’s go Tails. Tails: Okay, Sonic. Old Man: Have a safe trip. (Scene Change) Sonic: President, what’s so important? Eggman: He he he, its been a long time Sonic and Tails. Tails: Dr. Eggman! Eggman: I need to return a favor. Sonic: Which favor is that? President: No, Sonic stop! Sonic: That’s dirty, Eggman. Tails: Taking the President and Sera hostage, I’ll bet you’re trying to take over the capital. Eggman: Do you think I’d do something so shallow? Eggman's Troops: We do! Eggman: This is about the safety of your world. Listen carefully. Sonic: No way. Eggman: You mean you don’t care about Sera? Sera: Daddy... Help!! President: Sera! Sonic please listen to him. Sonic: I have no choice. Talk Eggman. Eggman: Now, this planet is made up of two worlds. The one you live on is called Heavenly World-- Sonic: Everyone knows that. Eggman: Hey, shut up! I’m talking here. Now, underneath this world lies the Dark World. This is where I built my high-tech city: Eggman Land. Then one day, a fiend named Black Eggman attacked and took over my city. Then he took my EggGenerator, a powerful energy producer, and set it on self-destruct. If you don’t stop it... huh? It won’t be my fault if THIS happens. President: So how can we help you? Eggman: There’s only one person on this planet fast enough to-- Sonic: No. It’s your fault for building the machine. Why me? President: You are the only one that can save South Island, no... the world. Sera: Please. For us? Sonic: Fine. But 99 percent of what Eggman says is a lie. Tails: So what if this is the 1 percent? Sera: Sonic.. President: Sonic-- Tails: Sonic-- Eggman: Here Tails, take this. Tails: What is it? Eggman: A navigator! It’ll tell you the fastest way to Eggman Land. Sonic: Let’s go, Tails. (Scene Change) Sonic: Can you really trust that machine? Its probably a bomb or something. Tails: I have no choice. The only person that knows the way to Eggman Land is Eggman. I wonder if Sera and the President are okay. (Scene Change) Sera: No, No, NO! You always win! That’s it! I’m trying again. Eggman: Would you stop it? We’ve done this a hundred times. Sera: You want to give up? Eggman: One more time. (Scene Change) (Sonic and Tails Fly) (Scene Change) Sera: No, no, no! That’s it--I give up. I wanna go on a ride. Eggman: Too bad. Sera: No, NO, NO! I wanna go on a ride! (Huge Mech Comes from underground) President: What the--? Sera: Wow, Eggman! That’s cool. I get to drive. Eggman: No Wait! Sera, don’t push that button-- President: SERA!! (Scene Change) Sonic: This is the entrance to the Dark World? Tails: The air current is strong... hold on tight, Sonic. Tails: Almost out of here... hold on! Sonic: Tails... Tails, are you okay? Tails: I’m fine but, I’m worried about The Tornado (Note: Tornado is the name of Sonic’s plane.) Sonic: This is the Dark World? Tails: It looks like we just go strait to get to Eggman Land. Sonic: Isn’t this weird. I’ll bet Eggman sent us this way on purpose. Tails: Well this is a shortcut. Plus there is a warp zone ahead. Sonic: Let’s go then. Sonic: Where are we? Tails: Hmmm... We came out of the Warp... this is an ancient city. Sonic: An ancient city. I never heard there were such things down here. Tails: Eggman Land should be nearby. Lets go someplace high. Sonic: Okay. Wow!! The city is sinking. Tails: Maybe the Generator is causing it. It shouldn’t be too far away. Sonic: Lets go. Tails: Aiiiiiiie!!!! I hate lightning! (Scene Change) Sonic: So, I just keep going strait? Tails: That’s what the machine says. Black Eggman: He he he he! Tails: Black Eggman??!? Black Eggman: That’s me. You made it all the way here? You deserve praise. Sonic: We don’t have time to play with you. Move aside. Black Eggman: Not a chance! Black Eggman: Keep Still!! Sonic: Ow!!!! Black Eggman: I’m made out of pure steel. Black Eggman: Wherever you little midgets hide, I’ll find you. Sonic: We don’t have this kind of time. Which way? Tails: Umm.. that way. Past the highway. Sonic: Let’s go, Tails. Tails: Okay, Sonic. Sonic: Hey slowpoke! Black Eggman: What?! Sonic: Try and catch us. Maybe we can play later. (The Black Eggman grows wings) Sonic and Tails: You’re kidding... Oh no! Sonic: Eggman didn’t tell us Black Eggman could fly. Tails: Sonic! Sonic: Grab on to me. Sonic: Whew!! That was close. Black Eggman: Go drown. Sonic and Tails: Help! We can swim. Blub Blub Blub. Black Eggman: I guess that takes care of them. Sonic: Lets go. Tails:Ah!! Sonic: Not again. (Black Eggman Imitates Thunder) Tails: Aiiieee!! Black Eggman: Morons, take this. Sonic: What is this stuff? Tails: Sonic! Black Eggman: Now all I have to do is take care of... Tails: I missile won’t stop Sonic. See! Sonic: Take this Black Eggman! Tails: Sonic! Sonic: Oh No! Black Eggman: Even if you have the fastest feet, when you can’t run, you’re just an ordinary hedgehog. Tails: Sonic, I’m coming! Tails: Knuckles! Knuckles: Hurry and help Sonic! Tails: My tails are stuck. I can’t fly. Oh yeah! Sonic, grab on! Knuckles: Oh no! Black Eggman: No more ammo? Lucky pest. Time to die. Sonic: Thanks, Knuckles. Knuckles: Same here. Black Eggman: No! Oh well.. Sonic: Don’t try to run away! Black Eggman: May we meet again. Knuckles: Grab on! Eggman: I’ll get revenge! In Eggman land there is a more powerful-- Sera: Black Eggman... humph!! YOU’RE Black Eggman. Don’t hurt my Sonic! Sonic: You’ve been a big help, Knuckles. Knuckles: I did something I don’t normally do. Well, we’ve been together for a long time so... you owe me one. Tails: You mean you’re going back and looking for treasures? Knuckles: Yeah, it’s my life. Tails: We have to hurry. Knuckles: What’s that? Tails: THAT’S EGGMAN LAND!! Sonic: Wow! See you later, Knuckles. Tails: Good bye. Knuckles: I worry about you two. I’ll beat you there. Tails: Hehehe Knuckles: C’mon! It’ll explode if we don’t hurry.
