Kiryu

Actually, Akio, your papa helped me get your Ara-Q3 back.

Low-level Yakuza

!?

Akio

Really!? Thank you, Papa!

Low-level Yakuza

I did... in a way.

Kiryu

Akio, I don't want to see you crying again. Be careful going

　

home with your game.

Akio

Yup! Got it! Thank you, mister!

Low-level Yakuza

Mister... Thanks.

Low-level Yakuza

This is to apologize. Or to thank you for teachin' this fool

　

a lesson, maybe. Whatever. I want ya to have it!

Kiryu

From now on, be a good dad all the time, not just in front

　

of Akio. You don't want to do anything that'll make kids

　

sad, no matter whose kids they are.

Low-level Yakuza

Yep, ya got that right!

Akio

Papa! This is too hard for me by myself. Let's go to Mama's

　

house and play Ara-Q3 together. I need help with the maps!

Low-level Yakuza

Uh... Sure! With my expert advice, we'll be makin' a beeline

　

to that nasty Demon Lord in no time!

Kiryu

(Now that's how a game should be played.)

注目フレーズ

I did... in a way.

　日本語版　 　あ、あぁ・・・・・・

「in a way」で「ある意味」。「手伝ったんや。ある意味では」という感じですかね。日本語の台詞より気が利いている感じがします。

説明とか

アラクレクエストのラスト（長かった・・・）

アキオ少年と父親のために、優しいウソをつく（というか、本当の事を言わない）桐生さん。

とってもいい話ですね。

個人的には、龍が如くシリーズの中で一番いいサブストーリーだと思います。

（他の候補がすぐに思い出せないけど）

龍が如く０英語版テキスト 「アラクレクエスト」その７

Kiryu

You guys are related?

Akio

That's right! Are you friends with Papa, mister?

Kiryu

Uh... Yeah, you might say that, sure.

Low-level Yakuza

Wait, buddy, that little kid you were tellin' me about...

　

That Ara-Q3 there was what Akio bought with his own

　

money? And I tried to...

Kiryu

That seems to be how this is shaking out.

Low-level Yakuza

But why? Akio, why didn't ya say anythin' to your papa?

　

All's ya had to do was ask. I coulda given you the money to

　

buy Ara-Q3 any time.

Akio

B-Because Mama always gets mad at you, Papa. For spending

　

money on golfing, and go-karts, and board games, and...

Low-level Yakuza

...!

Akio

I didn't want Mama to get mad at you even more for spending

　

all your money again, Papa. So, I tried to buy it by myself...

Low-level Yakuza

A-Akio...

Akio

Mister, Papa looks kind of scary, but he's a really, really

　

nice man once you get to know him!

Akio

He took me to a bunch of game stores just the other day.

Akio

Papa's not living with Mama and me now. I think he's

　

lonely. So please stay friends with him, okay?

Low-level Yakuza

......

注目フレーズ

Uh... Yeah, you might say that, sure.

　日本語版　 　いや・・・・・・　まぁ、そんなところだ。

まあ、なんかこう、そうだと力強く言い切ることもできないけど違うとも言いづらい感じ。便利に使えそうですね！

説明とか

強面のヤクザがアキオ少年の父親だと知り、驚く桐生さん。

ゲームの元々の持ち主が自分の息子だったと知り、驚く強面のヤクザ。

そんな二人に、「パパとお兄ちゃん、お友達だったの？」とアキオ少年は無邪気に尋ねます。

龍が如く０英語版テキスト 「アラクレクエスト」その６

Kiryu

Long story short,

Kiryu

you took Ara-Q3 from a wannabe punk who

　

took it from a high school bully who took it from the last

　

boy in line who bought it in the first place.

Low-level Yakuza

...My head hurts just thinking about it. But, all right,

　

so that's what happened...

Kiryu

And I came to get it back for the little kid. It's going back

　

to the rightful owner.

Low-level Yakuza

...I'm sorry.

Low-level Yakuza

Fella, I'm the fool here. Give it back to that kid for me.

Low-level Yakuza

Damn, I was about to make someone else's kid cry for the

　

sake of my own. What kind of monster have I become?

Low-level Yakuza

I thought I could make my boy happy with somethin' I stole

　

from someone else. I was wrong.

Low-level Yakuza

How'm I supposed to be a good dad to my boy... to Akio

　

like this?

Kiryu

I guess you'd better think about that... Wait, what? Akio?

Akio

Oh, hi, mister!

Kiryu

Perfect timing. Akio, I just got your Ara-Q3 back.

Akio

Oh! Really!? Yippee!

Low-level Yakuza

Huh? Akio? It's you! My Akio!

Akio

Oh! Hi, Papa!

Kiryu

P-Papa!?

注目フレーズ

Long story short,

　日本語版　 　・・・簡潔にまとめると、

「・・・簡潔にまとめると、お前は子供からアラクレを盗ったヤンキーからアラクレを盗ったチンピラからさらにアラクレを盗っていったということだ。」ということだったのです。

説明とか

強面のヤクザからゲームを取り返して、元々は子供のものだと説明したらヤクザが反省して一件落着。

と思いきや、そこに元々の持ち主であったアキオ少年が現れて・・・

龍が如く０英語版テキスト 「アラクレクエスト」その５

Low-level Yakuza

Buahaha! You're finally mine, Ara-Q3. My quest is complete!

Kiryu

Hey, that game you got there...

Low-level Yakuza

What's that, fool? You one of the losers who couldn't

　

score an Ara-Q3? That's some tough luck.

Low-level Yakuza

For you see... this Arakure belongs to us. Buahaha!

　

So if you want to live, get off my street.

Low-level Yakuza

And listen! Don't bother looking for a place that's still

　

selling Ara-Q3. Just find a fool who bought one and take it.

Kiryu

...Villains, every last one. What's this world coming to?

Low-level Yakuza

Bah!? What'd you say, boy!?

Kiryu

That Arakure... I'm taking it back!

Low-level Yakuza

What's that? Take it back? Don't act like it was your game

　

to start with! Buahaha!

Kiryu

Shut up! It's complicated!

Low-level Yakuza

Oh, I see. You're an Ara-Q3 hunter too, then. Playtime is over.

　

I'm not holding back, either. Welcome to your doom!

Stomping…

Low-level Yakuza

No... This cannot be...

Kiryu

I'll be taking the Ara-Q3 with me.

Low-level Yakuza

H-Hold on. Please, I need that... Give it back, c'mon.

Kiryu

Give it back? This was never yours to begin with.

Low-level Yakuza

Fella, I'm beggin' ya, please. My little boy's really been

　

lookin' forward to playing it.

Kiryu

Your son?

Low-level Yakuza

Uh, yeah. My old lady left me and took the boy with her.

　

He's been wantin' Ara-Q3 ever since he read about it.

Low-level Yakuza

We went lookin' everywhere, but there ain't none for sale

　

anywhere. I just wanted my boy to be happy...

　

Fella, I'm beggin' here. Ya gotta let me have it. Please?

Kiryu

I get the picture now. Sorry, but I can't do that.

Kiryu

You probably don't know this, but a little kid saved up his

　

allowance and went through a lot of trouble to buy the last

　

copy of this Arakure Ill.

Low-level Yakuza

Eh!? I didn't stick up no little kid! I took it off some

　

worthless goon.

Kiryu

That's right. You got the game from a punk. But that

　

game belonged to a little kid first.

注目フレーズ

Shut up! It's complicated!

　日本語版　 　うるせぇ！　色々事情があるんだよ！

complicatedは「複雑」ですね。説明がめんどくさくなった時などに是非、使いましょう！

説明とか

例によって拳で解決する桐生さん。

しかしそのヤクザも何やら事情があるようで。。。

龍が如く０英語版テキスト 「アラクレクエスト」その４

Kiryu

(Hm? Isn't that?)

Low-level Yakuza

Hah! Later, loser!

Gang Goombah

Damn it...

Kiryu

(No doubt about it. That's the thug who took Arakure from

　

the kid who stole the game from Akio.)

Kiryu

Hey, you're the guy who stole Arakure from the kid who

　

stole it from Akio, aren't you?

Gang Goombah

Eh!? Who the hell's Akio? And so what if I did? I saw my

　

chance and I took it! That was Akio, then?

Kiryu

No. You robbed the kid who robbed Akio of his Arakure.

Gang Goombah

I don't get it.

Kiryu

Forget it. Just give back that Arakure cartridge you stole.

Gang Goombah

Ara-Q3... ARA-Q3!? I don't wanna hear another word about

　

Ara-Q3! I'm gonna stomp you flat, pops!

Stomping…

Gang Goombah

Grrr... Shit! Looks I'm the one who got stomped!

Akio

Mister!

Kiryu

Hey, Akio. I just caught the wannabe punk who stole

　

your Ara-Q3 from that nerdy high school kid.

Akio

Uh. Okay! I don't get it, but that's great!

Kiryu

All right, give Akio his Arakure.

Gang Goombah

Sorry pal... but your game got pinched!

Kiryu

I'm not playing around. Give the kid his game or you

　

can suffer some more.

Gang Goombah

I'm serious! It's really gone! Some a-hole got the jump on me.

Kiryu

What? You were robbed, too?

Gang Goombah

Uh, yeah. This hardass yakuza type held me at gunpoint,

　

forced me to give it to him, then took off!

Kiryu

Yakuza type? You mean that guy who was just here?

Gang Goombah

Uh-huh. What a shitty day I'm having... That yakuza guy jacked my

　

Ara-Q3, and he's probably not even a fan...

Kiryu

Your Ara-Q3? That game wasn't yours to begin with!

Gang Goombah

Wah!

Kiryu

You steal from a kid then cry like a little baby when you

　

get mugged? I'm seeing a pathetic pattern here!

Kiryu

If this isn't getting through to you, how about we go

　

another round?

Gang Goombah

Waaahh! N-Nope, I'm good! I-I'm really sorry!

Akio

My Ara-Q3...

Kiryu

Don't worry, Akio. I promise, I'll hunt it down for you.

Akio

Mister... Okay! Got it!

Kiryu

(So, the thug who took Akio's Ara-Q3 from the kid who

　

stole it in the first place ended up having it taken by some

　

hardass yakuza" who went off towards Taihei Boulevard.)

Kiryu

(My head hurts)

注目フレーズ

That game wasn't yours to begin with!

　日本語版　 　そもそも、お前のアラクレじゃねぇだろ！

「to begin with」で「そもそも」感を出すのは、なるほどという感じですね。

下のリンクも勉強になります。

「そもそも」は英語でどう言う？

説明とか

アラクレクエスト続き

少年からゲームを奪ったヤンキー高校生からゲームを奪った

チンピラを発見してまたしても拳で解決する桐生さん。

だが彼もまたやっぱり、怖いヤクザにゲームを奪われた後だったのでした。

Kiryu

(Hm? Isn't that...?)

Gang Goombah

Later, freak!

Slimy

No fair... I've been defeated.

Highschooler

　

Kiryu

(No doubt about it. That's the kid who took Akio's game.)

Kiryu

Hey, you. You have that Arakure game, don't you?

Slimy

What's it to you? My adventure just came to an abrupt

Highschooler

end, so leave me alone!

Kiryu

No can do. I'll take back that Arakure you took from Akio.

Slimy Highschooler

Ara-Q3!? That's the last thing I wanna hear about right now!

　

Forget it! I'm gonna grind your ass just for the experience!

Persuading…

Slimy

Yergh...

Highschooler

　

Akio

Mister!

Kiryu

Akio, I just caught the guy who took your Arakure.

Akio

Oh, yay!

Kiryu

Okay, give Akio his Arakure back.

Slimy

Look man... I don't have it!

Highschooler

　

Kiryu

Give it up already. If you don't want another beating, hand

　

it over, and get a job next time you want a video game.

Slimy

I told you, I don't have it! I got robbed by a better thief than me!

Highschooler

　

Kiryu

What? You were robbed, too?

Slimy

Y-Yeah. This jerk from a street gang busted out his

Highschooler

dagger of stealing and make me give it to him.

Kiryu

A gang member? You mean that guy who was just here?

Slimy

Year. Lame... I could be home leveling up, but now my Ara-Q3

Highschooler

is probably going to some dude who's not even a fan...

Kiryu

Excuse me? Your Ara-Q3? ...That Arakure wasn't yours!

Slimy

!!!

Highschooler

　

Kiryu

You rob a little kid then turn around and cry like a baby

　

when you get mugged? How pathetic is that?

Kiryu

If you haven't learned your lessen yet... you want

　

another class?

Slimy

A-Ack, no! I'm already out of lives! S-Sorry man,

Highschooler

I'm outta here!

Akio

My Ara-Q3...

Kiryu

Don't worry Akio. I'll get it back for you, I promise.

Akio

Mister... Okay! Got it!

Kiryu

(So the kid who stole Akio's Ara-Q3 had it stolen by some

　

thug. And that guy went off towards Taihei Boulevard East.)

注目フレーズ

That's the last thing I wanna hear about right now!

　日本語版　 　そんな名前、今聞きたくねー！

「今聞きたいことの中では最後です」-> 「今はそれだけは聞きたくない！」

「the last thing」とか「the last man」とかで強い否定を伝えるのって、なんとなくおしゃれですよね。

龍が如く０英語版テキスト 「アラクレクエスト」その２

Kiryu

(Hm? Isn't that...?)

Slimy

Heh! Game over, loser!

Highschooler

　

Kiryu

Hey, you're the kid who was lined up for that game, right?

　

Did you manage to get it?

Last Boy in Line

Oh, m-mister...

Kiryu

What's the matter? Something wrong?

　

Y-Yes... M-My brand new video game... That guy stole it.

Kiryu

What? Wait, you mean that high school kid who just left?

Last Boy in Line

Uh-huh. He just ran up and yelled at me to hand it over.

　

He took it... My Ara-Q3...

Last Boy in Line

I spent all morning waiting in line, too...

　

I... I saved up my allowance for a really, really

　

long time to get it. And now it's gone. *sniffle*

Kiryu

(Stealing from a little boy? That's really low.)

Kiryu

Hey, kid. What's your name?

Last Boy in Line

It's, it's... Akio.

Kiryu

Akio. Got it.

Kiryu

Hang tight, Akio. I'll get your game back.

Akio

...Huh? You will?

Kiryu

So... there's no need to cry.

Akio

M-Mister...

Akio

Okay! I won't cry anymore!

Kiryu

Good. That's showing some spine, little man. I like that.

　

Leave it to me.

Akio

Yay! Thank you, mister!

Kiryu

(That high school delinquent ran off towards Pink Street

　

with Akio's Arakure game.)

注目フレーズ

I'll get your game back.

　日本語版　 　俺がお前のゲーム、取り返してきてやる。

これくらいのことでも、いざ英語で言おうとすると難しいですよね。

ゲームを横取りされた人がいたら使える必須表現ですので、覚えておきましょう。

説明とか

アラクレクエスト続き

前回列に並んで興奮していた少年が、ゲームをようやく手に入れたと

思ったら、悪い高校生（Slimy Highschooler）に奪われてしまいます。

「slimy」って「ぬるぬるした（スライムみたいな）」感じかと思いきや、

「不快な」「誠実さのない」みたいな意味でも使われるんですね。

龍が如く０英語版テキスト 「アラクレクエスト」その１

Kiryu

Hm?

Kiryu

(What's this line for?)

Kiryu

(It could be something serious. I should ask around.)

Kiryu

Hey, kid.

Last Boy in Line

Huh? Yes?

Kiryu

What's going on? Why are all these people here?

Last Boy in Line

Um... Did you want one, too? I'm really sorry, but they said

　

I'll get the last one in stock.

Kiryu

What are you talking about?

Last Boy in Line

Huh? Aren't you lining up for Ara-Q3?

Kiryu

Aura Cue... Three? Is that some kind of secret code?

Last Boy in Line

Nah, it's Ara-Q3, the newest game in the Arakure series!

Last Boy in Line

Ara-Q3's short for Arakure Ⅲ: Quest for the Quantum Quill.

　

I can't wait to read the instruction manual on the way home!

Kiryu

Hmm. Never heard of it.

Kiryu

So people are actually lining up to buy a video game?

　

What an amazing world we live in.

Last Boy in Line

Yeah! It's the most popular game in Japan right now!

Last Boy in Line

I went looking for it with Papa, but they were sold out

　

everywhere.

Last Boy in Line

But then my friend told me this place was getting a new

　

batch today. So I grabbed my allowance and

　

ran all the way here!

Last Boy in Line

I made it just in time and got the last reservation ticket!

　

I'm so happy! it's gonna be the best game ever made!

Kiryu

Times are strange if it's this hard to buy a toy.

Kiryu

Sorry to bug you, kid. Thanks for the info.

Last Boy in Line

Yup! Bye, mister!

注目フレーズ

I grabbed my allowance and ran all the way here!

　日本語版　 　僕、おこづかいにぎりしめて慌てて家を飛び出してきちゃった！

「家を飛び出す」の部分を忠実に訳すと「I rushed out of the house!」あたりになるでしょうか。

以前ご紹介した、龍が如く０の英語実況が無事に完結しました！
NicoBさんお疲れさまでした！（面識なし）

最後までテンション高く、ゲームを楽しんでいる感じが伝わってきて、とてもいいシリーズでした。
ゲーム自体も面白いし。

英語で耳に残ったのは、真島兄さんの「My bad.」。
（スマン／堪忍な）というくらいの、インフォーマルな謝罪に使えるみたいですね。これは便利。

あとは「Seriously?」（マジで？）とか、「That is awesome!」（ヤバい！／サイコー！）など、繰り返し聞いていると使いたくなります。


是非この後、極、極２と続いて行ってほしいですねー。

「龍が如く」が好きな人にオススメの英語実況動画

最近、（主に自分）大注目の実況動画シリーズが始まりました。

あの「NicoB」さんによる「龍が如く０」の英語版「YAKUZA 0」の実況です。

（「あの」と言いつつも、どれだけ有名なのかはよく知りませんすいません。）



逆転裁判の実況も見ていたんですが、本当にゲームを楽しんでいる感じが出ていて、いい！
（うるさいと感じる場合は、あわなかったということで 笑）

キャラクターごとの声の使い分けも上手くて、逆転裁判シリーズも、もちろん面白いんですが、個人的には成歩堂の声があわないような...

いずれ、逆転検事シリーズの会話とかを紹介する時にはご登場いただきたいところ。
（そこまでブログが続くかなあ...）



「Yakuza 0」に関しては、ムービーシーン含め、ボイスは基本的に日本語でヒアリングの練習にはあまりなりませんが、

• なんとなく「龍が如く０」のストーリーを思い出したい
• なんとなく英語の動画を流しておきたい
• なんとなく誰かが誰かを懲らしめているところを見たい

時などにオススメです。
