My opinion as of July 9, 2017


Why is there so much hatred in this world? I feel like I can't stand all this hate anymore... :sparklywooo:
All I want is all Kishin Douji Zenki fans coming together in peace and happily enjoying the series together. moonflower 

I can feel all the pain and suffering of my friends and the other fellow fans and I just don't understand... La dies 

Why is there so much fighting...? :meowlove: Meow :3 

Whoa... Now I am just sad, but I'm not going to give up! Hero Timez 

The Kishin Douji Zenki series needs someone to save it and my friends and myself are going to step up and do exactly that! [i]: potted flower pixel 
A true hero can't give up, just because the situation is dire. True heroes follow their hopes and dreams. :allergy: 
True heroes don't let their friends down.

Even, if darkness swallows my hopes and dreams, I will never let down my friends! Karuma 

Let's save the series and our friendship! Goki 

Our translation


We currently working on a translation of the Kishin Douji Zenki manga!
Yes we are going to translate all 12 volumes in an attempt to give them a translation, that stays true and faithful to the original.

We started this project of translating the manga series, due to the other two English translations cursing through the internet are being rather... well...

Two flawed translations. A threat to the series?


Let's say it that way:
One of them messed up the red demon god Zenki really badly and portrays him as a violent berserker, while the other one messed up the azure demon god Goki really badly and turned him into a girl. While the anti-Zenki version attempts to move Goki in the foreground, thus attempting to greatly support the GokiXChiaki ship, the other, anti-Goki one, attempts pretty much the opposite. No, I disagree! 

First things first, I am against neither of those shippings. Second, the GokiXChiaki one is actually the official one as seen in many of the later volumes of the manga. Third, even if Zenki and Chiaki are no couple, they have a little brother and big sister relationship, which has them fighting each other, but Chiaki still cares about Zenki and Zenki isn't a cold hearted rock either, as he often openly expresses his feelings. Hug 

So, yes, Goki is a very emotional man, who is very protective of his loved ones, a family man, if you can say that. This makes him a very special and rarely seen kind of character in anime and manga series. Goki 

And Zenki, well... Zenki is the kind of a guy, who always openly tells people about his opinion. This often gets him into trouble, as openly telling others what you thing is even not always the perfect decision in real life, but come on. He's at least true to himself... Demon God Zenki 

Back to the topic


All in all, I like both demon gods and I want the world to have a representation of the series, that hasn't been turned into a mangled mess in favor of favorite shippings or talking a character bad or even making a character look better than they are. I want to create a true representation of the series spirit. w00t! 

While this often got me into trouble with a former friend, I feel like I have to do it just like Zenki and speak up and go through with it with the right anmount of decency and respect, that the series deserves, just like Goki would. Ohm... Ohm... 

No series deserves to be torn apart by a war between fans and fans and friendships shouldn't end over a series. Petting is sensual! 

My two friends and I are just going to go ahead and do the right thing. Reading 

Giving the series a proper translation, faithful to the original work. Thank you! Thank you! 

Nothing will be changed.
Everything will be delivered just as it was intended by the orginal creators. Handshake 

We are determined to face the challenge, no matter how long it takes. Pray 

Thank you for reading this. High-five! 
Hi!

It seems like some people felt offended by my other post, so I am moving this here and put it as a critique.

I also want to clear up things.
First, I didn't mention any names in my other post, so unless someone explicitly knows who or waht I am referring to, there's will be no harm done to your fan translations' reputation.

Second, it's just, that the series does deserve a faithful translation, as in my eyes, it's just as good as the Zelda or Mario series and these silly Zenki fans VS Goki fans wars, that has been going on for so long are ruining it for everyone else, who wants to experience Kishin Douji Zenki in an unbiased way.

Third, I am not willing to take anyones side on this. My friends and I are just going to translate the series as it is, without any alterations. While I know, that a direct translation of things like idioms isn't always possible, we are going to do our best to keep the original meaning intact and will add notes, as seen in official manga. (you know, those little texts, that explain the religious stuff or other things, that aren't obvious to everyone)

So. Please stop feeling hurt by this, as it never was my or my friends intention to do any harm.
We only wanted to inform the other fans, that we are making our own translation, because we felt, that the other translations had some more or less intense mistakes in them.

I won't do anything to stop you from working on your translations and I am not going to leave any harmful words around here.
It's just my and my friends opion here and I feel, like there's nothing wrong with voicing our opinions, if we are not mentioning names.

If you feel otherwise, please tell me in the comments, so I can make sure, that we can co-exist in peace and not in war.

Thank you for reading this.

Also, please be nice to each other in the comments. Thank you! Thank you!

Greetings
