Episode 6: We Need Tenchi!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Error 1 -- This is the scene where Tenchi finally defeats Kagato.
What Kagato says in acknowledging his defeat is very important. Here is
the breakdown (thanks to True Sheol for the Japanese and accurate translation): |
|
|
In Romaji: Tenchi... masutaa kii to
onaji na ka. Tsunami-me. Kore de wa saisei mo kikanu ka. Subarashii. Watashi no
make da, shounen.... |
|
|
|
Pioneer Translation: Tenchi...the same name
as the master key? Well done, Tsunami. Tenchi can't be copied.
Splendid plan. You've won, young man. |
|
|
|
Accurate Translation: Tenchi... the master
key and this person have the same name? That Tsunami. Is regeneration not
effective? Magnificent. I am defeated, boy.... |
|
|
True Sheol comments: It's unclear whether Kagato is indirectly asking
Tsunami (not literally) or blaming her for leading him astray with Tenchi-ken
(hence the "splendid plan" in some translations). He speaks her name in the same
frame and immediately after asking that question. It is distinctly separate from
his next line regarding how his regeneration is ineffective against the damage
by Tenchi. |
