Gunnm Complete Edition extra pages: TL, QC and editing

[Lemonlol]

Ah ! Ok ! I haven't checked yet p04-05 with your corrections, but it was still a question I had while typesetting since the beginning.

[Cailon]

Isn't the 1st post of this thread proofread ? I lazily take it as the final script and typeset everything in it. Well, when some translations are missing, I add it on my own, which can't be proofread...

Uh wait... the first post, like my post? This is a way too old version. I canned to update this because Sergio posted a full script some time later (HERE). But wait... maybe the text present was proofed already and I just didn't add the script for the pages to come... Anyway, Sergios post is the most recent version!
Damn, sorry for this confusion

[Lemonlol]

Err, nothing...

[Sergio Nova]

Great work. I am not going to applaud you because I promised myself to avoid being redundant.

By the way, are you not going to correct pages 4+5?

[Lemonlol]

I knew I forgot something !

[AR-99]

This is an older thread, but does anyone know if the raws in Japanese are online?

[litchi master]

Sorry to have let you down for so long I was really busy with my work all this time
Here is the translation of the beginning of the translation of page 8 right where I left off.


The tankman
he simply looks like a tank to which one would have stuck a tiny pair of arms and legs. He can belch fire as well as liquid nitrogen.. to paralyse its opponent as its blows with its arms and legs don't have that much impact. In fact he isn't that formidable an enemy.However, whenever it comes along enemies of the same strength he can become dangerous. If it is not rapidly disposed of the player can be affected by its explosion. and receive important damage.

The evil male nurse
This male nurse uses a big syringe as a weapon. He doesn't have light attacks but if he manages to hit/sting the player with his syringe, the latter sees his lifebar decreases/drops by half.
Furthermore, the evil male nurse also uses his syringe as a shield to protect himself from his opponent's attacks.

The crazy doctor
He wears a white coat/overall? stained with blood and holds a saw to cut skulls open /for cranial surgery? .
Armed with it, he rushes at his patients shouting/yelling /screaming: lobotomy!!!!

The big nurse
This nurse has undergone a lobotomy performed by the aforesaid crazy doctor. who has been manipulating her as he pleased /according to his wishes to do his bidding eversince. Her attacks are relatively light. But she has an paralysing electric syringe. that the player should be wary of. He's equally very resilient /tough.
She moves around the medical profession which comprises The evil male nurse, the cray doctor and the black surgeon.

The coward junkie
He's very thin and uses a kitchen knife as a weapon, he lets out piercing shrieks whenever he's threatened, but as soon as the player turns his back to him he takes advantage of it to attack him/stab him.

The hoodlum /punk junkie
A punk whose appearance is close to that of the coward junkie and appears both day and night in the crowded areas as well as the deserted streets equally. Armed with a knife he rushes at the passers by screaming very loud.
Once he has struck, he escapes he escapes straight away still screaming. If the player manages to dodge his attack and hits him once he's on the floor . He ends up running away without further ado.

Cyberman
A punk looking hooligan (probably with a mohawk), he has numerous interchangeable weapons which are very useful in combat: like a drill hand. He's one of the most widespread criminals in the scrapyard/ kuzutetsu.

The guy with the chainsaw
A masked murderer carrying/displaying a huge chainsaw he's of course a fan of the movie texas chainsaw massacre. The dreadful noise from the engine of his chainsaw clearly announces/foreshadows his arrival, as discretion is far from being his major asset. He's always waiting for a fight to relish in the display of the destructive power/lying in wait .....

The alcoholic man
A rather elderly poor man, without a home, who wrongly/unjustly got a bounty on his head eversince he has unwittingly killed a man. He goes to and fro begging the passers by to forgive him or proclaiming his innocence. This character doesn't attack. If the player kills him he gets a reward for his head, but his emotional level decreases. He's quite friendly and always always holds his hand /beacons to say hi. If the player lets him go, another mercyless bountyhunter will end up killing him.

The priest of destruction
A man of the Church who has gone insane, He wears a hat fitted with serated blades which he throws at his opponent like a freesbee and has a cross for close combat. His back bears two ideograms meaning "the Beast".

The three headed man
A cyborg with tree heads on a single body. The latter are fixed on a swivelling/revolving turret at the basis of the neck. And only one of them controls the body at a time, Each head having its own life bar and combat level.
If this cyborg associates the heads of cyberman, the coward junkie and of the crazy doctor he's quite easy to beat. But if he associates those of the the boxer, the karateka and the bodyguard he becomes a great deal tougher. However the reward for his death equates to those of all three people.

I'll be continuing to translate during summer time I hope I'll be able to do the bulk of the work on vol 2.

[Cailon]

@AR-99: Sorry, I don't even remember if we had japanese raws in the first place... This here goes with french raws (which are still up, the link is in the opening post).

@litchi master: seems like everybody got other things in the meantime, too But its really appreciated that you keep it coming.

[AR-99]

NP, I appreciated the work that whoever owned the volumes took to hand copy and scan them in. I was thinking about getting these volumes myself to have some version of the art book/tech notes that I could have a crack at understanding, so this was still extremely helpful.

[litchi master]

here is more

queen of chaos
Young woman wearing an S&M outfit and wielding an electromagnetic whip

king of chaos
A megalomaniac criminal who claims to be the king of chaos. His charisma is so strong that he can destabilize his opponents. His direct attacks are only kicks. He's of course surrounded by his "subjects".

the biker
A cyborg with a motorcycle body.His combat techniques (such as the the attack of the wheel) are therefore very peculiar.

The cannibal taxi/cannibal cab
Any patron who enters this cab never gets out alive. His only attack is to rush/swerve at his opponents and its power is terrifying.if the player puts it down, he will be able to get all sorts of objects, undoubtedly the belonging of late clients/the belongings of former clients to be sure.
The looks of this taxi are close to those of the Barjack's armoured vehicle, minus the weapons.

the vacuum cleaner man
A cyborg criminal. Thanks to the sucking power of his tentacles, he can catch his opponents, hit them against the ground, and immobilize them to deal his blows. His movements are very quick which makes him very efficient in combat. When objects are thrown at him/objects are thrown at him, he forfeits combat to try and suck them in.

The snake man
A cyborg whose lower body is that of a snake, (you could also say snake woman). He mainly nests in dark places and coils his/her snake tail around beams or colons.
p8 low
It is while hanging thus that he preys on his victims/ that he swoops down on his preys.When he finds himself on the ground he uses his tail as a whip. He can also swim like water snakes do. Quite a powerful enemy, The snakeman is among the strongest enemies

the spider-man
A cyborg with the shape of a spider. He can move from wall to wall and attacks his preys hanging from the ceiling from the thread he has woven. His power is not outstanding, but he can use difficult grounds to attack his preys. It is thus better to make him fall and dispose of him once on the ground.

[Sergio Nova]

I have changed the contractions to full text as this is a formal text.
I have also capitalized the characters’ names.
My notes are detached in bold.
The underlined text is inscrutable (to my poor English, at least).

Naturally, let us wait for Burning Angel’s comments.

He can belch fire as well as liquid nitrogen to paralyze his opponent as his blows with arms and legs do not have that much impact. In fact, he is not that formidable as enemy.

This is an older thread, but does anyone know if the raws in Japanese are online?

After lurking on this board for some time, I've grown very grateful to this community as a source of scans, translations and insightful interpretations thereof. I'm now glad to report that I finally have something to give back for all that I've received:

Gunnm Works 1 - 1600px
Gunnm Works 2 - 1600px
Gunnm Works 3 - 1600px

I broke down and scanned the Gunnm Works pages from my copies of the Complete Edition, binding be damned. The days that I was such an otaku that I wouldn't damage the book are behind me, anyway. I don't have volume five, however, so this just covers the first three (of four) GW installments. Pages were scanned at 600 dpi due some very small diagrams in the original, and then rescaled to 1600 pixels high for compression and upload. I made 3000 pixel high zips, as well, but my upload speeds are so bad that I'll put them up only if there is a demand for higher-res copies.

[Lemonlol]

Well, thanks a lot. Your contribution is very much appreciated. I hope it didn't "cost" you too much.

Unfortunately, I haven't got much time to clean these raws. Hell, I even thought page "1-01" had a plain black background... Now this is much more complicated to clean. But still, I guess your raws will be used for the release... one day...

[crazyankan]

vatagenic: Many thanks! And welcome to the forum

[AR-99]

Thank you so much for the scanning and uploads. 1600px is fine.

[vatagenic]

Thanks for the welcome - glad the scans found those who needed them.

I won't be getting a copy of CE volume 5 anytime soon, so if someone else has the opportunity, please post up GW #4!

[litchi master]

Oooooooooops my bad!
If it is not rapidly disposed of the player can be affected by its explosion and receive important damage.

What about that? If the player doesn't get rid of it rapidly he may be affectected by its explosion and receive high damage. lose la lot of energy.


He is quite friendly and always holds his hand /beacons to say hi.

He always waves at you to say hi/beckons (and not beacons sorry) to say hi in a friendly way.

I hope it's more understandable the way it is now. I hope I can make more soon.

[Sergio Nova]

Has this project died?

[Lemonlol]

Last I know about this, I was supposed to typeset the whole thing. But as of now, there's just no way that I've got the will to do it .

I wish you, Sergio Nova, knew how to typeset, in order to do it : You have the dedication, you care about details, you've got a good deal of patience, and you've got a pretty good understanding and knowledge of the overal Gunnm serie (GLO included). But alas, you're new to typesetting and no one can make you do something against your will !

So, either you're not in a hurry to see the project finished, or Kishiro makes a pause long enough for me to get bored and work on it, or... we find someone else to do it ?

[Sergio Nova]

It is not a question of been pro or against my will. It is simply a question of ability. After trying like an idiot, I concluded I am too idiot to try.

Lamentable but true.

[litchi master]

Sorry for staying away for so long.
I had work all over the place.
Hope this will make up for it, I am starting again from where I left the translation.

The crazy machine (the machine gone wild?)
It is a kind of machine without a ?streamline careening? whose cogs are fully apparent. As it is not a cyborg, there is no reward when you dispose of it. However, you can get its heart of steel. Originally weak, it will only rush at the player, nevertheless depending on the level it can attack using a a multitude of/several articulated arms or electrical discharges, making it a tougher opponent.

The hermit crab man
A cyborg who hides in an armour carcass to protect himself. Most of the time he will remain hidden in his shell to attack, as well as use it to run over his opponent. With her starting power, Alita will only manage to destroy the aforesaid shell at the price of a disputed fight. The only way to destroy this cyborg is to wait for the moment when he will eventually slightly emerge from his shell to attack. This criminal likes to give his opponent a friendly handshake before fighting. If Alita complies, she will no longer be ale to attack him and her emotional level will lower.

The walking safe/chest?
It is a safe you can usually find in RPGs. it has insect like articulated legs/articulated legs after the fashion of insects, and it moves slowly across the map. If is destroyed, all the items it contains are expelled outside. The safe doesn't attack.

Combat experts
These are characters are experienced in fighting techniques. Confronting them is a good way to train and get accustomed to/experiment the counter attacks used in panzer kunst.

The boxer
A cyborg who knows all boxing techniques. There exists two types of boxers: The first type has iron fists, while the second type uses drills in place of/for hands. The Kensatsu cyborg technique (see panzer kunst techniques vol.1) is efficient against him.

Sobatman
A cyborg who has only got a torso and legs. It mainly uses kicking techniques. The rasen sogeki cyborg technique (see panzer kunst techniques vol.1) is efficient against him.

The karateka
A karate expert cyborg. He uses every technique from this martial art, be it punching or kicking. His arms and legs can be changed to get more power.

The bodyguard
A cyborg in black wearing sunglasses. He is not himself a criminal/ not a criminal himself, but he is on their side all the same, as he protects some of them. He is an expert in military combat, and sometimes fights with a knife. His guard is faultless, therefore making him one of the most powerful opponents in the "combat experts" category/among the combat experts.

The killer motorballer
After committing a crime, this motorballer was cast out from motorball(the motorball league). His counter attacks along with is static(?)kicks are of of a very high level. His fighting style is very close to pro wrestling. His ultimate technique the "motor supplex", which originates from the supplex that can be found in wrestling, is even more violent.
/ His ultimate technique the "motor supplex", is an even more violent than the pro wrestling supplex it originates from. The killer motorballer is doubless the most powerful opponent in the "combat experts" category. He appears in kuzutetsu but also in the badlands.

Big boxer mountain
A giant cyborg more than 4 meters tall. His techniques are the same as the standard boxer. Of course Anti giant techniques are to be used against him.

The colossus
This four meter tall giant is a former coliseum wrestler. He often lives as a recluse at the bottom of caves. His moves are very slow but his power is fearsome. He is a ground throw specialist.
