[scanlation] Blood Sunday 1905

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

As promised, here is the other scanlation that I did for Hetalia, this one being the Bloody Sunday incident in 1905.  Seriously, with a history like that, it's hard to blame Russia for going completely insane.  (I have my theories/opinions about Russia, but...that'll come later)

Translations by me, comic taken from the site.  Enjoy!




Also, this is one of the strips that solidified my love for the Russia/Lithuania pairing XD;

Francis is a common french name, so it makes sense ^^;
bwah Russia ;_;
Thanks for translating it !

(sorry I can't help you since I don't know any kanjis T_T)

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Apparently the artist originally planned to call him Jean and some other name, but Francis stuck. *laughs*

I love Russia <3

You're welcome X3 and it's okay.

Hmm... the only help I can offer is this Japanese Wikipedia page. (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%98%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2#.E5.90.84.E5.9B.BD.E3.81.AE.E3.83.97.E3.83.AD.E3.83.95.E3.82.A3.E3.83.BC.E3.83.AB.E3.81.AB.E3.81.A4.E3.81.84.E3.81.A6) It has some of the names in katakana.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Aah, thanks XD Now to figure out what they are in Romanji... O_O XD;

[festivewind.livejournal.com]

But Ivan has a last name, right?

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

He does. It's something like Borginsky or something...I don't know the spelling, only the sound.

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, all the names are listed in the Hetalia Wikipedia article (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%98%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2), complete with height and 'human age'. Yes there is one. I love Japan, my goodness me.

(There may be misspellings done in the translation here--I mainly put the Japanese spellings into wiki, get an article and jump back to English when it looks weird, but it doesn't work all the time.)

Northern Italy - Feliciano Vargas,
Southern Italy - Lovino Vargas ('Romano' is his 'country nickname', to seperate the north and south without hassle in canon. IIRC N-Italy's nickname is Veneziano. It stuck.)
France - Francis Bonnefoy,
Russia - Ivan Braginsky
Austria - Roderich Edelstein
Hungary - Elizabetha Héderváry
Spain - Antonio Fernandez Cariado
Switzerland - Bash Zwingli (I'm pretty sure it's not spelled 'Bash'...)
Poland - Felix Łukasiewicz
Lithuania - Toris Lorinaitis
Latvia - Raivis Galante
Estonia - Eduard Fonvock (I TRIED)
Korea - Im Yonsu?
Turkey - Sadiq Adnan
Greece - Heracles Karpusi
Sweden - Berwald...er, Oxsensshelna?
Finland - Tino Vainameissen? Vainamaisen?
Prussia - Gilbert Beilschmidt
Canada - Matthew Williams

BTW, perhaps カークランド　would be closer to Kirkland than Clarkland? Fandom also uses it, if that means anything.

Omake : Sealand - Peter [insert England's surname here]

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

And oops, I didn't see the comment above even though it's like, six days old. The excitement must be getting to me. -_- Sorry...

[kataankoryu.livejournal.com]

Yes! *Squee* Russia is too damned awesome for words.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

He's such a cutey.

[herbalriver.livejournal.com]

Wait, why is Russia holding a weapon on his arm? Don't tell me he--?

Was this the incident that turned him into a Yandere? D:

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

I think this is actually one of the deciding incidents that turned him completely crazy, the other being The 1917 Revolution. The 1905 Incident eventually erupted into the Bloody Sunday Incident when guards fired on civilians, which is what I believe Russia did.

[daniela-lynx.livejournal.com]

Woah. I've spent the past hour browsing about this webcomic like mad. It's awesome, thanks for translating it! /o/ *Joins the comm*

That said... w-wow. I'm not exactly sure on characterization here X'D Being the history nerd I am, it's... how to put it. Russia (the country) was totally not right under the Tsars, that was the reason for Oktober 1905's Revolution. Why is Russia (the character) acting as if this was an unfair, unprompted riot?

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

You're welcome^^

<sub>Well...Russia (the character) is, in a word, batshit. Or rather, at this point he was probably just unstable. I think one reason why he's acting as though this was an unfair riot was because these nation-characters are representatives of not only their population but also the government of it (their "bosses" are the leaders/government of said land. So UK's would be the Queen as well as the Parliament).

Therefore, he might very well think that he is in the right for the way he was conducting the lands and that he followed his boss' orders. Russia (the character) is like a child, as the artist says--so one way to interpret this is that Russia is like a child who wants really bad to please his superiors and follows the rules that his superiors give him but end up having the entire class hate him. That sort of thing?</sub>

Thanks for the scanlated strips!! I'm trying to collect all the ones I can.

[rhagosha.livejournal.com]

Russia is EVIL XD
But I like him more and more :D

[andemon.livejournal.com]

Okej, this might sound really weird, but Sweden's name is Berwald Oxenstjerna or Oxenstjärna (I'd go for the first, for easiness). It took me about 6 hours to analyze the name, so it wasn't really simple. But I could finally figured it out! >w< I thought I'd write it here, before I write in elsewhere. =D

[andemon.livejournal.com]

Okay, I was wrong. It's supposed to be Oxenstierna.
I think the surenames used might be known... I mean, Väinämöinen's from Kalevala and Axel Oxenstierna is a historical person...

[rokakujin.livejournal.com]

Ah china is more WANG HUI than Wong Hwui 8D
and very metaphorical XD

[rokakujin.livejournal.com]

[ninjakaninen.livejournal.com]

Lol I'm late like hell, but when I saw the comment above I realised "Okisenssherna" must be "Oxenstierna" ^^

Like this guy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Oxenstierna

[pnutbutterkelly.livejournal.com]

Poor Russia! ;_; Even though he's totally evil inside, I've still had a soft spot for Russia ever since the start!
It's just that whenever he's the 'gentle giant' nation, everyone PICKS on him!
