Megaman/Rockman X1 Iwamoto MANGA [ENGLISH TRANSLATION COMPLETE]

What is this post about?

This blog post tries to provide a complete translation of Chapter 12 part 2 and Chapter 13 of the Rockman X manga by Yoshihiro Iwamoto, published in Comic Bom Bom decades ago. Chapter 12 part 1 and everything before that has already been translated immaculately by Dr. Neko and AyameZero over at their website http://www.drneko.com/scanlation/rmseries/rmx/manga/index.php. However, it's been years and they seem to have yet completely finish translating the manga, and is the reason why I made this post.

How-To-Read Guide

If you see "T/N", it means "translator's note". If you see italics, it usually means I added in words to make the translation make more sense in English (i.e. I add more context).

Also, click on each scanned image to see a fullscreen/bigger version of the manga scan.

Any text that has asterisks around it such as *text* means the text is not in a text bubble, and is probably what the character is thinking at the moment.

I believe my translations are slightly more accurate as I give more author's notes, but then again at least this one is typesetted so the average manga reader will have an easier time reading it!)

Chapter 12 Part 2 [COMPLETE]

This is all what was untranslated from Dr. Neko's translation of Chapter 12.

Vile: "the future I've longed/missed for"? (quoting/mocking what Zero said in the previous panel) That (brain) chip must be broken.

Vile: Even a special A-class hunter (Zero) is nothing but scrap...

Vile: My best machine (Vile's ride armor) that I specially tuned even took a beating...

Vile: Both of your lives combined aren't even worth one tiny metal screw!

Vile: Oof, seems like I killed one of you...

Vile: Hey, B-class runt (referring to X)

Vile: Sorry to say that you're all alone now

Vile: Let me make up for Zero's sins...

Vile: !?

Vile: I made it out with just a scratch

Vile: Amazing.

Vile: This is what I've been waiting for! The moment where I destroy the legend!

Vile: This is amazing!

Vile: Take this!

Vile: Take that!

Vile: Get destroyed!

Vile: Haaaa ha ha ha ha!

Vile: Is the legend destroyed yet?

X: You MAVERICK!

Vile: You're the best prey of all!!! MEGAMAN!

Vile: *X...*

Vile: *You're...*

Vile: *the best prey-...*

Zombie Vile: L...legendary...Ha...I...Bu...su... (T/N: No idea what he's trying to say)

Zombie Vile: Gu aah!!

Zombie Vile: L..legendary...Bu...

Zombie Vile: Bu...su...Legend...ary

Zombie Vile: Legendary... Mega...man...

X: I am not the legendary Megaman...

X: I'm also...

X(?): *a Maverick...* (T/N: the kanji they use here for maverick is "oni" which means demon. X is essentially saying that he can be demonically violent if need be in order to reach his goal of world peace, however hypocritical that may be.)

Velguarder the doggo: Grrrrr....

X: So there's a Cerberus at hell's gate huh (X is making a reference to Sigma's lair and his dog as hell's gate and Cerberus in Greek mythology)

Velguarder: Grrraaaaooooo!!!

Sigma: Heh... So in the end, there were no competent subordinates huh

Sigma: What's wrong Velguarder...

Sigma: You're waiting over there with your neck extended

X: A dog like him, a watchdog from hell...

X: cannot be an enemy to you, the god of hell...

Sigma: You're certainly not one of my demons...

X: I'll send you into the abyss/nothingness, Sigma!!!

Sigma: You should behave more modestly and beg for your life, kid!

Chapter 13 [COMPLETE]

Title Page of Chapter 13: "Victory"

TOP SECRET FILE

For when humanity is inevitably faced with an unprecedented fear at some point in time, I shall leave behind the greatest Reploid in history.

Of course, while the world may be peaceful at present, I anticipate that he will be dragged into horrible and useless battles.

However, it is to my dismay that when the time comes when such battles occur, he shall become the saviour we will all need.

In addition of powerful "upgrade parts", I have provided him with the strongest thing imaginable. In other words, he shall become close to invincible, close to being "ultimate weapon".

That is...

[The rest of the text is undecipherable due to the long passage of time since this message was first recorded.]

Chapter 13: "Victory"

Sigma: My mantle blocks all energy blasts....

X: Grr...

X: Hayaaaa!

Sigma: What happened to your claim-to-fame buster? (sarcasm)

X: Don't f*** with me!

X: *W-what was that flash!?*

X: *He's... not moving*

X: *What happened...*

Sigma: Did your feet slip?

X: Grrr....

Sigma: That's it! Those eyes! Full of zeal!

Sigma: Watch this now

X: ?

X: !!

X: What the...

X: ...in space?

X: !?

Sigma: What a beautiful planet...

Sigma: However, there's "stains"...

X: !!?

X: Stains...?

Sigma: Yes... On this beautiful planet,

Sigma: There are countless of stains...

Sigma: Humans!

Sigma: We were born to eradicate those stains!! And we were meant to become their enemies and rule the next generations on!

X: You're wrong, shut up!

Sigma: Do you still not understand how foolish humans are.

Sigma: You still want to be friendly to them...

Sigma: It's useless.

X: Sigma... what are you planning...

Sigma: X, let me give you one more chance...

Sigma: Let us have a duel and battle not only against each other, but between our beliefs as well, Megaman X!

X: Hayaaa!

Sigma: (sound effect of Sigma's "sword")

X: My buster shot split in two!?

X: I see...

X: That light-weapon cuts my buster shot...

X: Now that I learned that, it's not scary!

Sigma: That's right... it's called a beam saber...

Sigma: You're slow!

X: Huh?

Sigma: With that level of fighting...

Sigma: How can you hold the name of "Megaman"?

Sigma: A person who shares a scarred name like that... should be cooler than you huhuhuhu...

X: Shut your mouth...

X: I'll make you regret taking off your mantle!

X: Once I create some distance between me and his sword...

X: All I'll have to do is shoot him in front of me!

Sigma: I also have ranged firearms as well!

X: He broke through my buster shot!?

X: Damn it! So I have to somehow handle both his close-range and middle-range weapons!?

Sigma: What's wrong, Megaman! Shouldn't it be this way!?

X: Well then, I'll have to create even more distance so neither your saber nor your firearms can can reach me!

X: How will you handle this, Sigma--!!?

X: *H-he's already all the way up here!?*

Sigma: You should expect that anything you can do, I can do too!

Sigma: Aren't you an arrogant one, X!

X: Ahhhh!!

X: *No... Sigma... can't win*

Sigma: Such a shame to kill you without knowing the true extent of your power...

Sigma: ?

Sigma: Huhuhu...

X: This can't be!!!

Sigma: Huhuhu...

Sigma: Such valiance!

Sigma: Pitiful, Megaman!

X: *He taught me to be proud...*

X: *He risked his life, and rose up to every challenge...*

X: *It was called hope...*

X: *I promised to meet you again*

X: "I promised to forge a more peaceful world!"

X: *If I die here...*

X: *I'd be betraying my friend...*

X: Aggghh!!

X: *N-no...*

X: *I let everyone*

X: *down...*

Sigma: Seems like the wall's monitor's features have been damaged and it reverted back to its original form...

Sigma: Quite surreal...

Sigma: Pitiful...

Sigma: !!?

Sigma: T-Tears!? Impossible!! His functions should have ceased!

Sigma: Calm down! I need to calm down!

Sigma: There must be a logical explanation for this

Sigma: After all, his functioning has ceased...

Sigma: Of course! Liquid coolant! His liquid coolant must be overflowing!!

X: What you're feeling... is fear Sigma...

X: This must be the first true feeling/emotion you had ever since you turned into a Maverick ruler!

X: I'll tell you...

X: Where this fear of yours comes from...

X: This fear...

X: is from hope created from wisdom and courage

X: Seems that the beam saber short-circuited with my liquid coolant and created a shock, which caused my auxiliary energy to switch on.

Sigma: ...That can't be more than a coincidence

X: It's not just a coincidence! It is a miracle of hope caused by the will to never give up!

X: *As long as I believe in that hope*

X: *and in the hope in the humans who created us...*

X: *I will*

X: *always keep on believing!!*

Sigma: Hope...

Sigma: in humans?

Sigma: Don't say such nonsense!

Sigma: Do you not understand!

Sigma: humanity's foolishness!!

Sigma: Why can't you understand, Megaman!!

Sigma: We shall be humanity's next rulers!

X: ........

Sigma: We are the more advanced/evolved race!!

X: A makeshift gravemarker... (referring to Sigma's sword, all that is seemingly left of him)

X: Now that I think about it, he was a pitiful man... Thoughtlessly using his power...

X: If I made even a small mistake during that fight...

X: No, I can't think that!

X: I had friend who believed in me!!

X: And because I had friend who believed in me...

Sigma: Are you talking about me?

X: Sigma!?

X: Huh?

X: Th...the tower's... collapsing?

X: What? What happened?

X: What!!?

Sigma: Do you see, X!?

Sigma: This is my...

Sigma: true form!!!

X: So this is Sigma's true form...

X: Uwaaaa!

X: Somehow I have to attack...

X: the head of his giant body...

X: Uwaaaa!!!

X: I have to reposition myself...

Sigma: You think you can get away!?

X: Gaahhh!!

X: !!

X: Those things are a good way for me to get closer to Sigma!

X: Express delivery to Sigma!

X: uuhh...

X: Damn

X: It's not over yet!!

Sigma: MEGAMAN!!

X: SIGMA!!

Sigma: This is the end!!!

X: Eh!!?

X: Hu!?

X: uhh... I failed...

X: My auxiliary energy supply...

Sigma: has ran out!!

X: Uwaaaaaa!!!

X: *This can't be...*

X: *I couldn't even inflict a single blow*

X: *I don't want to die like this!!*

Sigma: So are you finally dead...

X: Damn it... I can't move

???: You have to... defeat... Sigma...

X: !!

X: What's that sound

X: !!

X: That's it... This here is...

X: Then...

X: I still have one trick up my sleeve! I'll use this to defeat Sigma!

Sigma: I will let nothing get in my way! For I rule all!

Sigma: Huh!?

Sigma: We're being pulled in by the Earth's gravity!?

Sigma: There's an anomaly in the propulsion system?

Sigma: I'll use the scope-set

Sigma: to get a clearer look

Sigma: It's going haywire!?

Sigma: Why...?

X: I poured all my remaining energy so that the propulsion systems would run amok!

X: Sigma... I'm going to take you with me to hell...!!

Sigma: Stop this! You're going to die too if you do this!

X: I'm prepared to make that sacrifice!

Sigma: Gaaaaahhh

Sigma: You idiot!

Sigma: Hrrr

Sigma: I.... I!!!

Narrator: Due to the loss of propulsion control, Sigma's fortress began to fall to Earth

Narrator: And with that, Sigma's lair began to crumble due to friction with the atmosphere

Narrator: His evil lair splintered off into countless fragments—

Narrator: In the end, these fragments became a large meteor shower, flowing down to Earth...

Narrator: Along with the meteor shower, a mysterious object came raining down...

X: It's ironic that Sigma's mantle saved me

X: But... it's... it's finally over!!

X: *A lot of friends have died...*

X: *A lot of fellow brethren died...*

X: *For the sake of peace for all...*

X: Ugh...

X: Grrr...

X: (Sound effects: Ha... Ha... Ha...)
