Yuusha no Gawari ni Maou Toubatsu Shitara Tegara wo Yokodoroi Saremashita - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - First words

[Cursed_death]

What the fuck just happened? Didn't that dude want to go to some other kingdom to expose the hero but then in the last page he's like thanks julll bye-bye~ like what the fuck?

I don't know if it's an issue with the translation or the source material but that was some really disjointed dialogue there.

 

[Konrad2]

Thanks for the translation.

 

[HeavHo]

@RedVanGhoul
It's the translation. Some parts are completely mistranslated. Here's a quick retranslation of Page 8:

"...because I was ordered to."
"Id est, concord cannot be attained."
"Thus then, my parting offering, allow me to confer to you."
(It uses some archaic words and stuff, so I tried my best. Not very big on English literature.)
"Ugh...! Take my sword!"
"Kill him!"

As you can see, they couldn't get any of the demon lord's dialogue. Why? Likely because they use OCR, and in the case where it picks up gibberish, they just... go with it. For some reason. Some pages have acceptable translations, like page 28. But then, stuff like Page 6's first 2 bubbles are just... wrong:
"My shadows, by my order!"
"Take the demon lord's head!"

Admittedly, there IS a made-up phrase in Japanese that might have thrown the translator for a loop, 分身体 but it shouldn't have turned into... THAT.

That “hero” is a whole motherfucker and a half

 

[mutsutakashi]

I feel baffled at MC more than the hero though. How he can put up with that bastard is beyond me. He must be a masochist for sure

 

[Svelandria]

@mutsutakashi He seems the quiet type that wants to hold all the burdens of those he cares about. He cared about Jilyu at first, and wanted to hold onto the friendship he thought he had with him out of desperation, but at this point he's given up and stopped denying what his subconscious was telling him for years.

 

[anneudon]

This MC is actually super cute personality-wise

 

[Glomoro]

That “hero” is a whole motherfucker and a half

Well, that could make him a particularly good weapon when one beats a motherfucker with another motherfucker, as one often does.

 

[scribbledoutname]

This was retarded. The MC didn't even try to explain properly. Pathetic
