Thread: Oreichalcos Seal translation, TAKE TWO!

That's absolutely wonderful^^

I am glad someone translated it. I found the alphabet, I think it's a language that starts with an "E", I was going to do it, but my pic was not clear enough. Thanks for donating your time to this!^^

Enochian, yeah. You're welcome. =) Truth is I was going to do it anyway; I just thought I should share.

nice work

still amazing that someone in konami made that up properly ._.

If Zero-RAWs are continuing with their releases like that, soon I think, I will be able to make clearer shots of the other seals' card text, card names and the letters on the seals themselves.

If someone wants i can dig up the old thread in which we started this insanity XD, for the ppl at least to see.

And Yeah, i really did thought that you gave up on that project .

There is more thought put in these cards than all of DM GX and FMA put together XDD.

I never give up on a project. XD I just take really really really long breaks.

I still think there was a lot more thought put into GX than people give it credit for. =/ But I don't have any funny enochian cards to translate to prove it.

About the projects... well its the same with me XD. But I don't take much brakes only cuz i don't have much time to work on them. Just look at the DL forum.

Yeah i said FMA just to bother you XD. I remember in 1 of your old posts that you said and have proven that their is a ton more real Alchemy stuff than in the anime based on that idea (Fullmetal Alchemist) XD.

I hope at least from the better shots you will at least be able to see the CARD NAMES of the other 2 seals. For the card "effect" text we will need a shot from and HD TV rip which DM and DM GX never got a single ep done like that. 5D's is very fortunate and the translators have it very easy that way.

Well, you have made my day! I still can't belive the effort that was put into this card. O.O

o_o

*claps*

Amazing job there, Poet. It's great that you took the time to translate the card. Now it's obvious how much thought was put into DOMA, and how all, if not most, of what was written on it correlates with what actually happens. Kudos to you. *reps*

lawl, Dars.

Never knew that they put so much effort into it. Thanks, seriously. If I was ever to use the orichalcos in a fanfic, I'm gonna reference this somehow, definately.

Yup. Well actuely we thought you'd died but we were all to polite to say it.

Out of interest what were the two call words the internet was no help with?

I thought there were Enochian characters upon the card Yubel used to summon The Advanced Gem Beasts. Advanced Dark I think.

Yep, that's the one. I also got that impression, which made it seem that much more like it was based off of the Seal.

Hah, yeah, you guys can't get rid of me that easily. So much nerding to do, and so few people doing it; how could I abandon my duty?

The missing words are 'ha' and 'hucacha' I believe, but I could be wrong. I'd have to get my notes out again and that would involve turning on the lights, and I don't want to wake up my company.

I was pretty sure those weren't actually enochian, but something else. I lost my screencaps of the thing, much like Yusuke's alchemic seal, when I had some computer problems a little while back. If anyone would like to provide them again though I'd be happy to give the things another whirl though.

I belive you refered to them as Enochian cursive. No actuely meaning in the message though.

Oh, was that the 'enochian cursive' one? I knew I'd tripped over some somewhere; completely don't remember if that was it. It's clearly been too long since I looked at the thing. Ugh.

Once my company leaves I'll try to dredge some shots back up.

Two Things:

One. I'm going to shamelessly burrow the phrase '' Darkness shall Sing our Praises.

Two: I have'nt said it yet but thanks for the intial translation. Its nice to know people put huge amount of effort into really small details.

o_o

Wow.. you did a really awesome job with all that. xD -impressed-

But I have to ask now.. some years back there was a translation of 'Orichalcos', that made it out to be 'Oracle Curse', as if it were said in 'engrish'. >.> So the full name would be 'Seal of The Oracle Curse'. I've always sort of found that translation amusing.. but is it really at all possible that it could be the real, translated name for the card?

Its an early translation of the card's name in Japanese, probably before any of season 4 eps were shown in English. But as we see there is no Japanese on the card itself. So this early translations is done by ear and not by translating from the card itself.

Now we hava real card with very similar name in the TCG which means it has an official English translation of its name.

The seal's Japanese name written with English letters aka in Romanji was:
Orichalcos no Kekkai
4K!ds translated it as The Seal of Orichalcos. Probably the ppl that wrote the name in romanji used the 4K!ds pronunciation of the name cuz it was already wide enough spread.


But now there is a real card named:
Hikari no Kekkai aka Light Barrier in the TCG.

So going by that and what The Mad Poet translated for the card itself and this similar name's way the TCG translates it the result should be.
Oreichalcos no Kekkai = Oreichalcos Barrier

And thanks to The Mad Poet Oreichalcos really is the correct way the name should be written and pronounced. So the Japanese VA's in the original version of the YGO! DM anime really pronounced it the right way all the time.

Maybe I'm missing something here but why should there have been any discrepancy in the word ''Oreichalcos'' (possibley more corectly Oreichalkos). It is an actuel word that turns up in other places - more commonly as its Latin equivalent Orichalcum.

Do you mean on the card? That could have something to do with differentiating the material from the seal itself. Outside of that, I have no idea--but it's how the spelling was done.

If the word oreichalkos was used more in the textbooks dealing with ancient Greece and Atlantis info and mythology than its more correct. You know having a proper translation and keepng close to the official sources is better. Cuz even the Japanese ppl that did the text for the seals and their cards can miss something. After all this is ancient stuff and specially about Atlantis there is nothing 100% sure about it.
