Fate/Apocrypha Vol. 4 + 5 (no spoilers)

[EDreamer]

After discussing things with CanonRap (or RanonCap as he's called these days), I've decided to open up this new thread for Volume 4 and 5 of Fate/Apocrypha. I'll be posting links to Volume 4 from my site here and later Ranon will post Volume 5 when he begins to translate it.

Warning: As with the first Fate/Apocrypha TL thread, please avoid directly posting spoilers that are further than what has been translated so far in this thread. Also, for those who haven't finished reading Volume 3 and don't want to be spoiled, I suggest avoiding this thread for the time being until you catch up in the story.

Here's the links:
Volume 4

On one hand I want to read this but on the other I'm still mindbroken enough to think that Canon will translate the rest of Volume 3 something resembling on time.

How much of V3 is left, Canon?

[Seika]

In the applicable unit, five years.

[EDreamer]

How much of V3 is left?

Purely in page numbers? Less than half.

Amazzzingggg waaaahhhh!!!! Finally

All right, Chapter 2 is finished and posted here: Chapter 2

A lot more lighter and funny moments in this chapter to make up for the very dark tone of the previous chapter, but also a lot of touching and introspective scenes with various characters. (After this, I have to honestly say that Caules is definitely my favorite character in Apocrypha, hands down.)

Out of curiosity, who are the other ones you enjoy the most?

you are great and I appreciate you

Well, my favorite female character is definitely Semiramis, since I find it funny how, despite her surface similarities to Gilgamesh in the story, she's actually a lot more like Rin, like in her tsundere traits and her attraction to honest and single-minded men. (Which makes sense since Semiramis is said to be an incarnation of Ishtar, haha.) I just find characters like her who try to be a cold-blooded villain yet utterly fail at it in the end very endearing somehow.

[Sarn]

Ah alright, that's nice. Looking forward to learning more about her, though my general impression of her so far goes this way too.
Hopefully we can see her in FGO soon enough too!

[Balthizar]

So, after reading chapter 1, it seems that Assassin Jack has more in common with F/SF's Berserker Jack than I first assumed.

All right, Chapter 3 is finished and posted here: Chapter 3

Pretty short chapter, mostly set up for the final battle with individual scenes for most of the characters.

Promise to have Chapter 4 and the Afterword posted sometime before the end of the month.

[You]

nice
thanks for your work
are you trying to get this all out before the anime?

[EDreamer]

Pretty much. There's only editing left, so it won't be long before Vol 4 is finished.

Love you

All right, here's the last chapter and afterword of Volume 4: Chapter 4 and Afterword

The big spoiler about Shirou's plan is FINALLY out in the open, so feel free to talk about it as you like here now. And with this, my role in this project is pretty much over (except the full translation of the material book that I still have left to do besides the completed glossary). Volume 5 is Canon's as per our mutual agreement, so any comments about it should be directed to him, not me. (Not like I'm passing off all responsibility to him to avoid having to listen to complaints, though. Not at all.)

[Sarn]

Thanks a lot for all the work you have provided for the Apocrypha translation, both v.2 and v.4.
I hope you'll enjoy your next projects, and also that this particular volume will get the viewership and credit it deserves soon enough.

Apocrypha fans sure owe you a lot.

[Wandering Swordwoman]

Yey yey yey

[Stasis]

Thank you for all your time of dedication on this project! I have been very happy to read all of your translations!
