Great! And also Bicorne's head is shaped like a bicorne ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bicor ... hnique.jpg ).
-But on page 04 it's "Bigorne" and "Chicheface", so I think we should use these terms (they are the authors will after all) and make a note about the monsters "real" names...
Yohash, I wrote a note (or rather a question) about the monsters names in the script. And do you also have a french tale about Arudina (or something similar) up your sleve? :D Would be cool.

@Kamui04: Thank you! I inserted the your "Takoshi"-note into the script, changed "created" into "gesigned", "Shiddo" into "Seed", discarded the Olympe vs. Olymphe (my mistake, it was indeed Olympe from the begin with).

@Cailon

I agree, use Kishiro's names, couldn't find anything on Alduina, though I think someone earlier found something about a Portuguese witch (?). on another note, I eagerly await the long awaited phase 80 scanlation now that kamui has resurfaced!

If I may...
There are two remaining obscurities, meaning auto520 (a) and Dharko (b) translated it in different ways.

page 02 (Gerambo)
JG: The truth is that... the coliseum is a little empty, so, we request to the audience that gathered together in one place, however...

a) JG: ah….shouldn’t have broadcasted this, huh?
b) JG: well….apparently They are all, huh?


page 05 (Hopper)
a) C: And then, because of Ladder and the limitation on using nanotechnology, Venus felt threatened.
b) C: meanwhile, because of "Ladder treat", the limitation on using nanotechnology was regulated drastically, and, because the crisys sensation, They requested help to Venus.


@Yohash: Ok. Then Sergios tale is our best shot. I only found Arduina to be an asteroid and a first name ;).

One last thing, according to page 04, we should use "Royaume de Genome", instead of "Genome Kingdom".

Found a mistake on page 3.

P3
a)Zekka: then there is a condition to let this guy in too auto520 joined the line on the two joined bubbles.
b)Zekka: The inclusion of Taraba is OK, but there is some conditions... + b)Zekka: ...also will enter this guy!! Dharko put this lines from the joined bubble on the right side separate. I prefer Dharko's here

a)Zekka: the “way” and idealism and etc….I hate those “strict” stuff Auto's tl for this line should be on the upper left bubble and was missed by Dharko's translation.

Rakan: thank you for your special treatment… auto's tl is enough, Rakan doesn't add "for the gloryyyy..."
Rakan: thank you for your special treatment… For the gloryyyy...!!

I don't want to sound impatient or over-motivated but I actually starting to hate this phase, i want it to come out already! ;) So I've put up a transation request for the remaining obscurities, including Gerambo and Hopper on page 02 and the first two bubbles on page 05.

So hi guys, new poster here, but longtime lurker. I've kept up with Battle Angel for months and months here, excited for each and every new release. After months of no new translations and this lovely chapter 80 being in limbo I was very excited to see a sudden burst of activity on the translation front. However, mere weeks later, it seems to have all stalled to a halt again.

I'm absolutely desperate for new Battle Angel, and I absolutely refuse to look at the untranslated RAWs. So let me post here my question:

How is progress on phase 80 currently? Are there any ways that I can help out?

I don't know Japanese, but I'm very fluent in English, and can help with proofreading.

Please! I must have more Battle Angel!!

The first sounds like Engrish. I'd rephrase it as "I'll snatch this trophy with all my energy".

I have no idea what the context is for the second one.

Ok, I´ll check this.
****************

p29: Toji says something.
TOJI: WHAT...


p25: need an English name for the technique.
There are only "onomatopeyas": !ZUU GAA!
GERAMBO: ¡¡HE DID IT!!
The Technique name: "Super Shell Battle Model three"


p22: still missing some stuff
bubble 1: Vigorta [this is the monster´s name] throws now from Its fingers a concentration of fire´s guns to Taraba!!
bubble 2: What kind of things they build now!?
bubble 3: I have heard that they can match modern weapons… but have never thought that they would be this powerful!!
bubble 4: Pissarro: This is an improved version of the "Shisotsushi" [tooth-tongue-tooth attack] of primitive shells.
bubble 5: Pissarro: It consist in this: In close range, It can have a more powerful piercing ability than a 100 mm ramjet cannon!!
bubble 6: Taraba: WHAAA!!

FOOTNOTE: the "Shisotsushi" attack [literally tooth-tongue-tooth] is an attack style with shells shot by an imitation of proboscide.
The proboscide [greek languaje: pro-"previous" and baskein-"for eat"] is an lengthened appendix tubular located in the head of the animal.
Their more common use is to eat and to swallow as the case of certain spineless ones as the butterflies.


p21: need a translation of the footnote
I AM SORRY :|


p20: shishu-face? strange name, all the others had European fictional monsters. But I can't find anything about Shishu. Does anybody have some more information?
Is the literal translation: SHISHU-FACE.


p14: first line. Choose one.
From the way the question are asked, you can notice IT!
To your approach.

p12: the rest of the fotenote. I use will be using Kynokephalos.
Man wolf [Kynokephalos], in the Greek mythology, It is somebody that has dog face.


p10: I will promptly obtain this trophy with all my energy.
It´s OK


p10: We are going to use Bigorne and Chicheface for the names.
Literal translation: SHISHU-FACE and VIGORTA.


P08-09: it's probably "Are you hungry, Alduína?", because in the next page he will give him some prey.
I am hungry... Alduina.


p6: 5 lines. Only four bubbles. Throw one away.
To your approach. I say that:
bubble 1: taking the victory from the hand of the military superpower "Jupiter Federation" four consecutive times is not something that can be taken lightly!
The military superpower Jupiter federation imitated these military matters, for that reason, They weren´t invited to the last 4 consecutive championships!!


p5: We need some help on that page.
bubble 1: meanwhile, because of "Ladder treat", the limitation on using nanotechnology was regulated drastically, and, because the crisys sensation, They requested help to Venus.
bubble 2: So then they started the development of bio-engineering, calling it [nanotechnology that does not use nanomachines].
bubble 3: In ES 470, taking advantage of the BIO HAZZARD, (a great biological incident, yes) as the point, Venus pushed a modification to the law that allowed the production and consumption of biological objects ( * ) and pseudo-humans.

ARROW: EVOLUTION

bubble 4: The Venusians also did bio-engineering on themselves and naturally achieved the "auto-remodelation", and now the most common and popular form of a Venusians is the egg-shaped [Humpty Dumpty] ( ** )
bubble 5: The bioengineering technology are protected by patents and copies are not allowed. The range of products vary from transportation tools and buildings to daily consumer products.
bubble 6: Currently, there are rumors that they will even be using biological organisms as space crafts and space colonies.

BOX: TAKOSHII [Takoshii Taxi], "gesigned" by Pissarro as a transportation tool.

*****************
FOOTNOTES:
Footnotes 1 ( * ): Biological objects: a man-made thing from genetic engineering for a purpose. Even though it is created by using human genetics, it is considered by law a consumer product and therefore it does not have any right.

Footnotes 2 ( ** ): "Humpty Dumpty": popular story for children about an egg alive (a living egg) that falls of a wall, here they make reference to their shapes: rounded hands and bodies and short arms.

Footnotes 3: "OBJETÉTRE", is a contraction of french words for resume: an "object-creature", this means, a biological being that has only one purpose: to be used like a tool.

Footnotes 4: In this case Takoshii is a play of words. Tako is japanese for Octopus which it looks like. While Takkushi is the katakana the japanese use for Taxi. Also on that box it isn't "created", but designed by Pissarro.


p2: missing a bubble
Which one?

IM SORRY FOR ANY NOT WELL WRITTEN WORD.

ZOTT The 9th day - "B Block" Semi-Finals

JG: Please hear that! The audience is already cheering!

Audience 1: Don’t stop the tournament this time!

A2: Show us karate blows!!
or "hits", maybe "moves"?


A3: crush the Venusian people!!!

JG: The truth is that... the coliseum is a little empty, so, we request to the audience that gathered together in one place, however...

JG: ah….shouldn’t have broadcasted this, huh?
JG: well….apparently They are all, huh?
pretty different again. Hard to tell which one is original.


JG: however, we have never seen an audience that is so one-sided

JG: (so this was a Hopper?) the "Space Angels and Jupiter" fans are cheering for the "Space Karate Allies".

MR. HOPPER: and thus it is only natural that Venus should fit into the "bad guys" role.

on page 21, I used wikipedia for it.
"*The hydrogen fluoride laser is an infrared chemical laser. It is capable
of delivering continuous output power in the megawatt range. a normal laser
like Carbon dioxide lasers can emit hundreds of kilowatts."

And many thanks for the missing translation on page 2 Dharko.

Some Engrishy sentences stuck out to me:
bubble 1: Vigorta [this is the monster´s name] throws now from Its fingers a concentration of fire´s guns to Taraba!!
bubble 2: What kind of things they build now!?
bubble 3: I have heard that they can match modern weapons… but have never thought that they would be this powerful!!
bubble 4: Pissarro: This is an improved version of the "Shisotsushi" [tooth-tongue-tooth attack] of primitive shells.
bubble 5: Pissarro: It consist in this: In close range, It can have a more powerful piercing ability than a 100 mm ramjet cannon!!
bubble 6: Taraba: WHAAA!!
I'd change this to:

bubble 1: Vigorta is concentrating gunfire from its fingers on Taraba!!
bubble 2: What kinds of things can they build now!?
bubble 3: I have heard that they can match modern weapons… but I'd never have thought that they would be this powerful!!
bubble 4: Pissarro: This is an improved version of the "Shisotsushi" [tooth-tongue-tooth attack] of primitive shells.
bubble 5: Pissarro: Here's how it works: at close ranges, it has more penetration power than a 100 mm ramjet cannon!!
bubble 6: Taraba: WHAAA!!


Also:
bubble 1: meanwhile, because of "Ladder treat", the limitation on using nanotechnology was regulated drastically, and, because the crisys sensation, They requested help to Venus.
bubble 2: So then they started the development of bio-engineering, calling it [nanotechnology that does not use nanomachines].
bubble 3: In ES 470, taking advantage of the BIO HAZZARD, (a great biological incident, yes) as the point, Venus pushed a modification to the law that allowed the production and consumption of biological objects ( * ) and pseudo-humans.
My version:
bubble 1: Meanwhile, because of "Ladder threat" (?), the limitations on the use of nanotechnology were increased dramatically, and, because of the Crisys sensation, they requested help to Venus.
bubble 2: So then they started the development of bio-engineering, calling it [nanotechnology that does not use nanomachines].
bubble 3: In ES 470, taking advantage of the BIO HAZZARD, (a great biological incident, yes) at the time, Venus pushed a modification to the law that allowed the production and consumption of biological objects ( * ) and pseudo-humans.


Finally: Proboscide -- I think you mean "proboscis".

could they mean to say "Ladder Treaty", there have been earlier mentions of a Ladder treaty against nanotechnology. Also, perhaps "sensation of crisis" or "crisis situation" would be better. crysis (misspelled) sensation just sounds a bit too engrishy. As to the BIO HAZZARD, if my memory is correct, wasn't the catastrophe with Dr. Warez called the Warez Hazzard? Is this what Kishiro is referring to?

"Ladder TREATY" is correct, I´m sorry, I have just noticed my mistake with the word.

How about this?

bubble 1: Meanwhile, because of the Ladder Treaty the limitations on the use of nanotechnology were increased dramatically, and furthermore, they requested assistance from Venus due to the crisis situation.
bubble 2: It was then they started the development of bio-engineering, calling it [nanotechnology that does not use nanomachines].
bubble 3: In ES 470, taking advantage of the Warez Hazard at the time, Venus pushed a modification to the law that allowed the production and consumption of biological objects ( * ) and pseudo-humans.

Regarding "Biological objects", I'd use "Bioengineered objects" or "bioware" even, even if it's not quite as true to the original Japanese, since they carry more of an immediately synthetic feel in English.

Oh gosh, just read through all of LO 80, and it was truly amazing! In a comparable number of chapters, a second-rate manga like Bleach or Naruto would have hardly finished a single battle, but in this one we had tons of dynamic action, and plenty of Kishiro's signature bizarre, wacky humour (seriously, that guy got drowned in breasts! What the hell! Haha!). Insanity like this is why I read this wonderful comic. It was well worth the wait, and we have the best quality scans!

Ah -- are all changes set in stone once it's been released? I was holding back on proofreading before I'd read the chapter itself for visual context, but there's some things I'd work over to improve the English.

Still, great work everyone. I can't wait to see what happens next! I knew that puny animals had nothing on the karate masters, but one really wonders how their armour-piercing cyber karate moves will fare against a gigantic Venusian octopus. For that matter, since resonance waves don't travel in fluid media, moves like Hertza Haeon would be useless against a fleshy opponent that has no resonant frequency. I'm really interested in seeing how Kishiro deals with this -- I'm betting the arena will be filled with Venusian octopus blood by the end of the next chapter.
