Hi guys,
I did the quick'n'dirty translation from Chinese => English last week. I say quick'n'dirty because it was meant to whet the appetite of all of us waiting for the 'real' translations from Japanese => English, so I made some assumptions based on the low-qual scan that I saw. I didn't expect it to be used for an 'official' scan by Mangapandas.
I now have access to a clearer copy of the Chinese script, and I can confirm the 'anniversary' comment that Obito made was in reference to "湊" and "九品", the Taiwanese names for 'Minato' and "Kushina", respectively. So no, as far as we know, Rin and Kushina/Minato did NOT die on the same dates. The error in translation was in my part from Chinese to English, and not on the part of the Japanese to Chinese translators.
In the interests of full disclosure, here's a few other things that people suspected were off, and my take:
1) "Since Naruto's technique has already entered..." - The translation is correct, but I'm not sure if someone is saying it, or if Obito is thinking it.
2) "Only natural energy can counter..." - The speech bubbles seemed weird, so I'm not 100% that this was said by Sasuke, but since the Chinese definitely had a "Is that what you mean?" component, I strongly suspect that this was indeed Sasuke, but I think it may be his thoughts, not his actual words.
3) "SAND!" - I believe this was actually a sound effect, and not something Obito actually said.
4) "Just try and charge through me!" - The meaning is close, but I think the actual wording might be a bit off (fuzzy scan).
5) "It really is about time to wrap this up" - The meaning is close, but I think the actual wording might be a bit off (fuzzy scan).
6) "Six Flaming Suns Technique" - The second character was 赤, meaning flaming/red/scarlet. The third character was 阳, meaning 'Yang', the same as in Yin/Yang. The final character means 'Formation'.
Aside from the above, I am confident in the rest of the translations.
Also, if anyone here knows anyone at Mangapanda/whoever scanlated it, please let them know that I would've appreciated them asking me for permission before using my (crappy) translation, or at least crediting me as the translator on the page itself.
Thanks.
Just wanted to clear this out for everyone. This will be proven in the *********** translation, which is coming tomorrow(?)
Edit: It also proves how wrong MP/MR can have on their translation.
