Talk:Castlevania: Rondo of Blood/Voice Translations

I had a translation of the Richter&Dracula end this I had worked on some time ago. Anyone want to look over it so we might consider whether it ought to be worked in? I generally went with more "flowery" translations of the Japanese and used official translations when they matched the meaning of the Japanese closely.

「またしても…ベルモンドの血に敗（やぶ）れるのか. これもさだめなのかもしれんな…」 Again...I am defeated by the blood of Belmont? Perhaps this too, is fate...

「滅びよ！此処はお前の住む世界では無い」 Die monster! You don't belong in this world.

「………. 私は自らの力で蘇るのではない. 欲深な人間どもによって蘇る. そして、力によって統率し、力が唯一の正義となるのだ」 It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by greedy humans. And by advancing by power, it has become the only 'justice.'

「それは、お前の勝手な言い草だ！ 人々は同じ信念の元で求め合い、集い、歩んで行くのだ！ 決して邪悪（じゃあく）なものであってはいけないのだ！」 You seek but to justify your actions! Men have always banded together under a faith and advanced together! Having evil exist at all will not do!

「だが、現に私は此処に居る. そなたには…欲望というものがないのか？」 And yet here I am. And you...have you no greed, no desires?

「そ…それは……」 Th...that's...

「そなたたち人間どもは欲望によって発展し、そして信仰により統率されてきたのだ. 果（は）たして、私が邪悪なるものと呼（よ）べるのかな？」 You and your kind have advanced, driven by greed, and used faith as but a tool to come to power. Considering that, can you call me evil?

「しかし、人間は力では統率できない. 尊（とうと）い、敬い、慈しむものがあればこそ、統率できるものだ. 邪悪なものは、いつかは滅びる」 But men cannot be led by power alone. Treasured, honorable, and loving hearts exist, and they can lead. Evil will eventually fall to ruin.

「そうか…そうかもしれんなぁ？フッはっはっはっはっはっは！ ベルモンドの子孫よ！！また会おう！！！ハッハッハッハッハッハッハッハッハ…！！！」 Is that so? Perhaps so. Huhahahahahaha! Belmont! We shall meet again! Hahahahahahahahaha...!!!
