Mightus, the Mask of Might (CV: Yasumoto Hiroki)

“… Shall I crush you and get it over with?”[1]

The general controlling the industrial area.

A man with a strong build, he’s rough, crude and solves everything using brute force.

Despite that, he’s clever, so although he’s daring, you can’t catch him off guard.[2]

“… Shall I crush you and get it over with?”

“I’ve come to test your strength.”

TL Notes:

ひとおもいに gives off this feeling you’re just going to do something, or you’re going to do it resolutely. It can also be used in the context of mercy-killing people and putting them out of their misery. With my TL, I wanted to give off the feeling he’s pretty much going to kill whoever he’s talking to and call it a day. As a side note, depending on the context, he could also be talking about other people, like "shall I crush them".

I had to translate this in a roundabout way for the sake of sentence flow. I simplified 大胆な行動 by TLing it as “he’s daring” instead of sticking to something like “he acts in a bold/daring manner” for the sake of flow. 隙がない literally means that there’s no gap, but truly when talking about a person it means that their guard is always up. I translated it as “you can’t catch him off guard” to avoid making the translation sound too stale and repetitive with those “he is he is he is” and whatnot.

[maou-the-tree]

Hewwo, me again :]

Now that I think of it, since you mention your faves on the Riders side of RK, how abouuuuuut... the Ulseven as well? Who's your fave there also? :0

Hey welcome back~!

Hmmmmm I don't really vibe with the Ulseven as much but if I had to choose...I guess Piasu? I just like his style I guess-

In theory I should like Torus cause she's a hot woman who kicks ass, but ehhhh I'm not really vibing with her either

???, the Mask of Ambition (CV: Nakahara Shigeru)

"After all, they're in the middle of our sandbox."[1]

A person shrouded in mystery.

“After all, they’re in the middle of our sandbox.”

“Organizations with no ambition will only know ruin.”[2]

TL Notes:

箱庭 is a miniature garden, but can also refer to a sandbox. I’m interpreting this line as ??? talking about Nijigao City being a test ground of sorts, so “sandbox” felt more appropriate. The context is also unclear, so they could very well be talking about the Riders (hence why I used “they” in this TL) or just everyone in general, so it would be more of a “we”.

衰退 is “decline” or “decay”, but “ruin” sounded better considering the structure I used. I also went for “will only know” to TL あるのみ (”there’s only”) for the sake of sentence flow.

Volt, the Mask of Evolution (CV: Koyasu Takehito)

"Do not worry. Chaos foresees everything."[1]

A mysterious man of unknown origin with a large build, he swears absolute allegiance to Chaos, and his faith in it is unwavering.

Voice Lines

“Do not worry. Chaos foresees everything.”

“Everything moves according to Chaos’ will.”[2]

TL Notes:

This is more of a general note, but in general I preferred to TL カオスの意思 as “Chaos” instead of “Chaos’ will” or “the will of Chaos” because his belief almost sounds religious in nature, as if you could just substitute “Chaos” with “God” instead. So, I suppose I sort of humanized the concept of Chaos here with my TL. I also didn’t contract anything to try and give off the same kind of slow feeling his voice lines have.

The passive is used in the OG line, and it’s more literally along the lines of “everything is led by the will of Chaos” but I opted for a wording that would have a better flow overall.

Trusse, The Mask of Truth (CV: Kobayashi Yuu)

"... The day when you naive Riders will realize the truth is just around the corner."

The general controlling the shopping area.

She’s an intelligent woman who seems to see through anything thanks to her keen sense of observation and sense of aesthetics.[1]

She’s very prideful and will stop at nothing to turn her ideals into a reality.

“… The day when you naive Riders will realize the truth is just around the corner.”

“Fufu… I can feel your eyes on me…”

TL Notes:

I took liberties with the structure here for the sake of flow, but the gist is pretty much the same; the original structure is more about listing qualities that seemingly allow her to see through stuff.
