Hoshina has fairly standard Kansai-ben usage. Instead of だ he uses や and instead of してる, he uses しとる, ちゃう instead of じゃない/違う. However, he doesn't go full Dinosaur Ryuzaki/Sendo by using ワイ as his first-person pronoun, opting for 僕. Standard stuff. (2/6)
「液体(それ)なら確かに我は切れぬ。相手をしても切りが無い」"Sore nara tashikani ware wa kirenu. Aite o shitemo kiri ga nai"
"kiri ga nai" means "no end"/"endless."
"kiri" also means "cut."

i pretty much translated this straight lol. The only thing was that I massaged Kuin's reaction to make it sound a bit more like a natural reaction in English. (Realization: "Scratch that." Extrapolation: "He's scary in a different way.") Reaction quips often need this esp comedy.
So, normally, you just contract a bunch of gerunds and make him talk like a hick and that's it, right? Nah. Hoshina is obviously competent, so making him sound intelligent is important. He uses keigo just like anyone else, but still has Kansai-ben in there. Prudence is key. (3/6)
怪獣8号24話、英語版では最後のフキダシに「リーダー」を入れて原作と同じようなペースでリーダーの怪獣のことを知ってもらうようにしておいたけど、直訳だと主語である「リーダー」は文の頭の辺りに置いてしまうせいで、ここで足りない情報を単語で補ったり色んな事を考えたり、アレンジしました。
Syd Craft Ch 1: I almost forgot about this one. 脳内劇場 is nounai gekijou or "mental/inside of brain theater." Seemed too good not to add the "piece" as a play on "masterpiece" here.
i tell c Ch 10: The new chief of criminal investigations speaks with a lot of English loan words. (Example: 初舞台 becomes "はつステージ" = "first stage" and 勉強 becomes スタディ) but sometimes even his SFX/drawn aside dialogue is in English. (あんがー = anger)
怪獣8号22話、@kusanosaprooのSDキャラが乗ってるケーキの文字、"退院祝"は英語で"Congratulations on being released from the hospital"だけど余計に長くスペースを取ってしまうので伊春とレノの名前の位置も考えながら"Welcome back"と簡略化するチョイスをしました。綺麗に入れましたね!#怪獣8号
Since we tend not to use honorifics in SJ manga, it's hard to tell who is talking to Corleo when they refer to him by name. So, in panel 4, I add the "Monika" after "I'm here." even though he doesn't say her name originally. (It's just "I'm here. Everything's fine.")
