[Translation] Machine Elements - Library

Hi, guys~! Deea’s (@ryuukia​) back with more translations for Machine Elements~! This one is for the library that comes with the pamphlet! It does mention Tsukino Empire a lot and since she’s the one who translated Tsukino Empire, this part was more her territory XD

I’ll try to update with Swiiiiiits profiles as soon as I can, too~! Please look forward to them~! 

// The library part gives out spoilers about Empire, so if you haven’t read that pamphlet yet, here’s a link to my [masterpost]. Read this first before digging deeper into Machine Elements! (Deea) //

※ Please don’t re-post and re-translate this interview under any circumstances. If you want to translate it to your native language, we can provide the kanji we transcribed from the scans ^^

Under the cut, enjoy~! 

The peace has come to an unexpected end ------.

All of a sudden, a mysterious fleet belonging to an unknown coalition appeared.

It consisted of many enormous battleships equipped with strange weapons.

Coming in contact with a completely different technology and civilization, mankind who knew nothing except their own existing intelligence attempts to face them in spite of being bewildered.

However, the crew members, who were supposed to be boarding those machines...... were missing.

Without warning, “they” bare their fangs.

 “They” have no need for crew members and such.

The machines, the battleships themselves were invaders with sentience of their own.

 Facing the differences of tactical and fighting strengths, humanity is driven to the wall to their wits’ end.

In that desperate war situation, mankind is going forward to the future known as “destruction”.

 And yet… … there is only a single hope left.

Among “them”, a very small number of “rebels”, who wished for co-existence, had successfully gotten in touch with mankind.

They change their appearance to small rings and entrust their hearts and power to worthy children.

Thus, this shall begin the final battle for the survival of humankind.

And finally, the world changes its shape

꧁ LINEAGE꧂

☐ The previous work, ‘Tsukino Empire’, delivered a spectacular space drama centred around the life or death battle between the human civilisation and  “them”, a mysterious opponent coming from the other side of the universe flying and who attacked mankind.

A human drama brought to its utmost limits, unfolding on the brink of destruction.

Among “them” there are rebels who took sides with the humanity.

And as a result of the interaction between humans and “them”, some mysterious yet cute beings called ‘spirit beasts’ took birth. 

Make sure to check the entire package for a spectacular final battle that engulfs everything. 

Below there’s a list summarizing the common points and the similar points between ‘Tsukino Empire’ and the after story, ‘Machine Elements’.

How is the ‘Machine Elements’ story influenced by the lineage from ‘Empire’?

What is the story behind the time gap that nobody speaks of……?

Enjoy spreading your imaginary wings.

Document ①

In ‘Tsukino Empire’, each unit’s emblem was represented by their initials, and this time the guild emblems followed the same pattern. ※The units which debuted after that had to introduce emblems created for the latter work.

Document ②

Compared to the previous work, the spirit beats and the cities matching their names are scattered all over the world.

Document ③

There are still people here and there who possess ‘rings’, some essential items passed over from ‘Tsukino Empire’. Here are only a few of them, so make sure you look for all. ※There are also characters who don’t have them.

Document ④

Unleash your mind ⇑The previous work and the current work’s common English catchphrase

Both ‘Tsukino Empire’ and ‘Machine Elements’ kept the same English catchphrase.

The literal translation is “Release your spirit”.

In the previous work, these ‘keywords’ put emphasis on the interaction between mankind and “them”, who try to understand the human ‘spirit’ despite not possessing one of their own, and at the same time, these ‘keywords’ also refer to the bonds created by fighting side-by-side with comrades. 

However in the current work, the world is ruled by peace and “they” don’t exist.

Therefore, there is also no longer needed to fight (for now).

Then what on earth does ‘Release your spirit’ symbolize?

And also, what is its purpose?

Document ⑤

And finally, the world changes its shape. ⇑’Tsukino Empire’’s Japanese catchphrase.

And finally, the world’s gears are turning. ⇑‘Machine Elements’’s Japanese catchphrase.

Initially both stage plays were meant to have the same Japanese catchphrase, but halfway in a few details have been changed.

“Changes its shape” embodied the destruction of the human society at that point, brought by the assault following “their” sudden appearance from the other side of the universe.

At the same time, it also represented the transformation of the world surrounding the hosts, who were one day suddenly chosen by the rings.

On the other hand, in this work, ‘the world’s gears’ are moving around.

Going with the flow of the previous work, it can be said that the world surrounding them is about to experience a drastic change. The story will begin to move from there but what we want everyone to focus on is the fact that “the world has gears”.

It has gears.

So that means that the world is…?

Make sure you pay attention to the meaning of the kanji ‘turn’.

Document ⑥

About the sudden appearances

Did you observe that in both works there are things that suddenly emerge?   

As soon as they emerge, the world changes its shape, and the gears are moving around.
