[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;

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]

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...

ohh, thank you for the romanizations! I am actually using that wiki page you showed me for the character profiles.

Aaah, I see! Thank you!

I think Switzerland might be "Vash?"

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

............would you believe I was actually a Trigun fan, and a Vash fan at that, from a while back? The name completely escaped me! XD

I wonder what basis the author gets their names from. It seems there's no really consistent pattern.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

*laughs* XD For Switzerland to have a name like Vash is just...

It really does seem like there is no consistent pattern. This guy lives in NY, so I wonder if he just...goes through a phonebook O_o;

Finland - Tino Vainameissen? Vainamaisen?

Väinämöinen (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Väinämöinen). Yes, we do like torturing foreigners with out excessive umlauts.

Hey, that's the guy from the Kalevala, isn't he? I never thought that's how you pronounce his name.

I love how many Hetalia names are linked to mythology. Okay, not that many, but I do love it so when the links popped up.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

OoO Dude, that is a LOT of umlauts. O___O

I am so late to the party it's not even funny, but I believe Sweden could be Berwald Oxenstierna, probably named after Axel Oxenstierna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Oxenstierna)

Just...for no reason.

Hello, late comment is late. Would you happen to recall the romaji for Prussia's last name? I've seen it Beilshmidt and Weillschmidt, so I wanted to know what the original was that caused such varied spellings. xD; Thank you if you can. *_*;;

[foxuie.livejournal.com]

'Oxsensshelna' for Sweden?...

.. That..

..Does NOT sound right O_______o.

about those names... I'm not sure how Himaruya-sensei came up with Finland's name, but I'm finnish and I can surely say that there's no Tino-named men in Finland, so it's Timo. It's only a one letter, but it's still seems funny, 'cause the name Tino is wrong everywhere D: And I looked at the character profile's page, it's correctly Väinämöinen as it should be. Geez, our language and names aren't the easy one's, eh? ^^'

And yes, we torture everyone with our lovely umlauts xD

And I know I'm late. Very late.
