Basically I had an inclination to post fandom (windbreaker) related stuff but then didn’t want to spoilers things for my 12 followers so decided to make a side blog. Probably I’ll end up posting about more than just windbreaker, maybe I’ll post stuff not even fandom related, maybe I won’t even actually end up making even one post at all, who knows, hard to say

[uhhhhhhhhhhhhmmm]

Umm you know when they go to the summer festival?

I just noticed, Nirei and Suo get matching bracelets??

Look at how happy they are looking at them!

Suo: We aren’t anything.

Nirei: Then take your friendship bracelet off.

Suo: …no.

Nirei: I rest my case.

An Analysis of the Hindi text in wbk 224 and 225

Hi! I've seen ppl do this for the jp raws and since I haven't seen anyone do an analysis of the hindi text yet I thought I'd do it myself :)

Obligatory disclaimer that while I'm a more or less fluent native speaker, hindi is still my second language so you're free to point out any mistakes I make.

Now, a few points I'd like to cover before we begin:

I believe there's a human translator working on the hindi text due to various reasons and they did a pretty good job for the most part. However, there seems to perhaps be some issue with the text processor that the manga editorial uses to typeset the text in the manga because it has consistently fucked up the conjunct consonants—separating the two in some cases, and entirely omitting them in others, making certain lines look like complete gibberish.

In general, I feel like the english translation does a better job of expressing the actual emotions on display in the manga, so I'm not really aiming to improve upon that here. Please calibrate your expectations of the post accordingly as I'll be solely focusing on analyzing the hindi text ^^

I'll be following the format of: original text (with any typos fixed), a transcript, my translation of the text where I'll try to be as literal as possible, followed by my opinion of it, and suggestions for improvement for the lines that don't make much sense.

Some parts were really short phrases with little room for error so I've simply just transcribed those without any comments. I've also occassionally paired up some lines that needed to be looked at together to make sense.

Long post under the cut

CH 224

अरे, सॉरी areh, sorry ack, sorry

वो रुक जा है! woh ruk jaa hai!! Doesn't make sense Could either be "abbey ruk jaa!" or "oy ruk jaa!" If I were to follow the english translation, it would be "udhar gaya! oy, ruk jaa!"

रुक जा! ruk jaa! stop right there! Fine

ओए हरामी बच्चे! oy harami bacchey! oi bastard kid! I'm sorry but I snorted a bit at this. I'd initially thought sensei would be using mtl for the hindi after seeing a misspelled shop name in the prev chapter and seeing straight up cussing kinda took me out here lmfao. That being said harami bacchey sounds kinda awkward to me. "Abbey harami ke bacchey" (oi you little bastard) would be better.

अभी! abhi! now!

पकड़ो उसे! pakro usey! catch him!

Okay, so. A lot going on here. Sentences are grammatically fine but kinda all over the place tone-wise and the arrangement of the lines feels very awkward. Also strangely isolatory manner of speaking considering both the parties are in groups. They should be using "we" and "you people" instead of "I" and "you".

तुम्हे पहले कभी नहीं देखा। tumhey pehle kabhi nahi dekha. Never seen you before. You can probably tell but it sound very very flat compared to the tone from before. Also I can't quite see a guy calling some kid harami for stealing food refer at least semi respectfully to a guy who's shielding said kid and also looks like an outsider. Something like " tujhe pehle toh yaha kahi dekha nahi" (never seen you(rude) around here before) would be more apt. But this also kinda repeats the same idea as the following line so I feel like asking "kaun ho tumlog?"(who are you people) would be more fitting here.

क्या तुम इस शहर के नही हो? kya tum iss sheher ke nahi ho? Are you not from this city? Yet again sounds stiff and also just repeats the previous idea like I said. Better framing below.

उसे मेरे हवाले करो! use mere hawale karo! Hand him over to me! This is mostly fine. Putting this at the beginning would be better though since y'know. The kid's their main target n all.

So putting it all together— "Bacchey ko humare hawale karo. Aur kaun ho tumlog? Iss sheher ke toh nahi lagte" (Hand the kid over to us. And who are you people? You don't seem to be from here, do you?)

CH 225

Here's where things get real

पहले तुम लोगो की बात सुनूं pehle tum logo ki baat sunu... first let me ask you guys... Fine by itself. "Pehle tum logo ki baat sunte hain" sounds a tad bit better to me personally. But the meaning stands the same so *shrugs* y'know.

तीन आदमी एक बच्चे का पीछा कर रहे है teen admi ek bacche ka peecha kar rahe hai... three men chasing around one kid...

आखिर... akhir... just...

क्या हुआ... kya hua... what happened... Sentence looks kinda incomplete here. "Kya hua yaha par" (what happened here) would be more apt.

उस हरामज़ादे ने मेरी दुकान से रोटी चुराई है! uss haramzade ne meri dukaan se roti churai hai! that son of a bitch stole rotis from my shop!

मैं पकड़ने ही वाला था, लेकिन इन लोगो ने बीच मैं आ कर रोक दिया main pakarne hi wala tha, lekin in logo ne beech main aa kar rok diya! I was about to catch (him) but these people came out of nowhere to stop me! Fine grammatically. Last part sounds a bit flat again so "main pakarne hi wala tha, par yeh log beech main tang arane aa gaye..." (I was just about to catch (him) but these people came to meddle out of nowhere) would be better.

अभी के अभी उसे मेरे हवाले करो! abhi ke abhi use mere hawale karo! hand him over to me right now! Fine but it feels a little weird that he'd go back to directly threatening the boys while being surrounded and questioned by the Red Chanpuru 😭

Note before I begin: I feel like the translator took a lot of care while doing Rakta's parts because he sounds SO gentle and comforting compared to the guys chasing the kid. He doesn't show excessive sentimentality as you can see but he still takes a lot of care with the words he chooses. He's quite calm and composed while dealing with the guys chasing the kid too and uses respectful speech towards them as well (and still manages to come off as intimidating)

The lines here are also mostly fine so I'll simply just transcribe them.

इन्होंने जो कहा... inhone jo kaha... what they said...

क्या यह सच है? ...kya ye sach hai? ...is that true?

मेरी छोटी बहन है... meri choti behen hai... I have a little sister....

हम कई दिनों से ठीक से नहीं खा पाए... hum kahi dino se thik se nahi kha paye... we haven't been able to eat properly for many days...

इसलिए...मेरे पास और कोई रास्ता नहीं था... isliye...mere paas aur koi rasta nahi tha... that's why....I had no other way left...

मुझे माफ़ कर दीजिए... mujhe maaf kar dijiye... please forgive me...

(man I feel so bad for this kid </3)

अच्छा... accha... okay... An "alright"(thik hain) would've sounded more comforting here but that would also kinda be forgiving him and the RC doesn't seem keen on excessively involving themselves in conflicts so a simple okay seems in character for one of them.

लेकिन चोरी करना गलत है। lekin chori karna galat hai. but stealing is wrong. A "firbhi" (still) added after lekin might've been good but it's fine either ways.

चलो, उसे वापस कर देते है। chalo, use wapas kar dete hai. come on, let's give it back.

यह सामान... यह आदमी खरीदना चाहता है। yeh samaan....yeh aadmi kharidna chahta hai. this product/thing....this man would like to buy it. Calling Umemiya a man here feels weird cuz he pretty obviously looks about Rakta's age? But maybe he was trying to be polite idk.

पैसा फेंक देने से सब ठीक हो जाएगा? paisa fek dene se sab thik ho jayega? (you think) just throwing money would fix everything?

बाहरी आदमी! bahri aadmi! outsider man! Yeah lol, y'all can tell what went wrong here right? The word for outsider is "baharwala". Probably just slipped the translator's mind. The last line and this together sound very weird. Yet again something like "tujh jaise baharwale ko lagta hain...." (next bubble) "ki paisa fek dene se sab thik ho jayega?!" (Does an outsider like you think.... that just throwing money (at me) would fix everything?!)

बहुत हीरो बन रहा है?! bohot hero ban raha hai?! wanna play the hero/saviour that bad?!

वो कहता है की उसे मारने की बात वो नही उठाएगा। woh kehta hai ki use marne ki baat woh nahi uthaega he's saying that he won't raise the issue of you hitting him Yeah the second part doesn't make much sense. But something like this is kinda difficult to express in hindi. I've been thinking about it all day and the best I can come up with is something like "woh kehta hai ki woh bura nahi manega ki tumne use mara" (he says he doesn't mind that you hit him) Could also be "woh kehta hain ki usko koi fark nahi parta ki tumne use mara" (he's saying he doesn't care that you hit him) but that kinda changes the meaning of the whole thing.

तुम लोगो का गुस्सा समझता हूं। tum logo ka gussa samajhta hu I understand you people's anger.

इसे भी अच्छी तरह समझाऊंगा। isey bhi acchi tereh samjhaunga I'll make sure to explain it well to him (the kid) too.

लेकिन... lekin... but...

हिंसा hinsa... violence...

इसे अनदेखा नहीं कर सकता। ise andekha nahi kar sakta I cannot pretend to have not seen it/I cannot overlook this.

ठीक है! thik hai! fine!

इसे अच्छी तरह समझा देना! isey acchi tarah samjha dena! Make sure you explain it well to him! The word for to explain(samjhana) can also be used as an euphemism for scolding someone and I'm sure that's the way he's using it here so the official translation of the line is the closest to the intended meaning. My translation is what the line literally means.

────────────

And that's it! That was a lot of work but I'm insane so it's ok. I don't know if I have it in me to do this again if there's more hindi in later chapters so this is it for now, bye <3

[uhhhhhhhhhhhhmmm]

I genuinely believe Nirei is going to become scary strong. Also I don’t think Suo is going to come back as a Furin student but I think they will be together often still (I’m not saying I want that to happen, I honestly don’t know what I want to happen, but that’s what I think will happen). But I don’t think he’ll abandon his preexisting responsibilities. Also, also, I think Sugishita is going to take over for Suo rather than competing with Sakura. Now that he’s had his whole Umemiya Is Gonna Graduate realization it briefly seemed like he might compete with Sakura for the top spot, but I also kinda felt like that wasn’t gonna happen and now that Suo’s left I think he’s stepping up to fill the role.

But hey these are all just guesses

Would love to hear what other people think!

[coffeesoftie]

Once Nirei learns to fight real well its over for everyone. If he can get the boys together with just a look and stern words, he'll be unstoppable learning the Hiragi technique of bonking heads to get their idiot Furin friends to focus lol

[biwitchedart]

“Average Bofurin students tells at least one lie on their student paperwork” statistic actually false. Suo Hayato aka Sun Fei, who lied about everything on his paperwork, was an outlier and should not have been counted

[uhhhhhhhhhhhhmmm]

Umm you know when they go to the summer festival?

I just noticed, Nirei and Suo get matching bracelets??

Look at how happy they are looking at them!

[uhhhhhhhhhhhhmmm]

This frame is before that and they are not wearing bracelets, so they were in fact acquired at the festival
