The Hawks that should have been sacrificed

A collection of the horrible translations that butchered our favorite manga worse than the apostles did during the Eclipse. Lesson: SUPPORT THE DARK HORSE TRANSLATIONS. If you can't, well, no worries. For now, let's cringe and laugh.

obsessed with this panel, need to know if this word choice was as miura's or the translator's

I support dark horse with my legitimate purchase, but why did they decide having wyald refer to his penis as all the buttons on a playstation controller I’ll never know for the life of me

My guess is that Miura explicitly put that in the original in order to express to what degree Guts maimed Wyald both physically and in some demented chauvinistic way (cuz ya know: Wyald can’t be the rapey warlord that he is without his signature “tool”).

If you come across bad, awkward, or just plain silly translations while reading Berserk for the umpteenth time, submit them here.

Dunno why the submit box was never opened... but it is now!

Berserk Dark Horse scans

This doesn’t seem to be widely known, but you can read Berserk’s official English version on this online manga reader.

You can also download the scans on this torrent tracker.

I highly recommend reading Berserk’s official translation, since most (if not all) fan translations going around are incredibly inaccurate, often missing entire speech bubbles or completely changing the meaning of the original text. If you have the time, a reread with DH scans is definitely worth it!

Berserk Manga

So I’m reading a really poorly translated version right now and it’s still pretty cool because I get the basic understanding of what is going on but damn when you go from the Golden Arc movies to bad translations it is quite jarring. I hope I’m not missing too much detail. I cannot wait to get past the Golden Arc

This Berserk translation is so good. I love having to read a sentence one million fucking times to make sure I can put it together in my head as a proper fucking sentence.
