Engrish report: Saiyuki Reload Gunlock

This episode is from the manga, the one with the snow and the kids and ... yeah. I shall endeavor to remain spoiler-free so those who have not read the first Saiyuki Reload book will remain spoiler-free. You guys in the comments? Try to do the same, plzkthx.

However, those who have read the manga will be happy to note that the kids have eyeballs in this episode.


Goku: This is not a place to job!

They are consistently translating "youkai" as "monsters." At least at the beginning. After that they switch to "demon."

Youkai who's working the Wolverine look: General should we eat It taste great after adding wine this hot pot


Kid: Kiyun these guys are guests?
Goku: Backed potatoes?
Wolverine: It's Kiyun

(I assume that what happened there is that "kiyun" must sound something vaguely like "baked potato" in Japanese and Goku was thinking with his stomach again and misheard it. Mind you, in the manga his name is "Yakumo," and that's what people are saying, but it's translated as "Kiyun," thus rendering the baked-potato pun even less comprehensible, I suspect. :D But further confirmation will have to wait for one who speaks whatever flavor of Chinese it is. :)


Sanzo: What's here are just kinds.
