I’m into Black Lagoon again because the newest volume has been issued and the animation is airing on YouTube.

It’s Japanese comic, and a gun action story at Roanapur－a fictional town in Thailand.

The fans, including me, love the lines.

They sound like direct translations from English, as if they were from an American movie.

I tried translating, but if you’re Christian, you should be careful to read the following because you might feel uncomfortable.

Honestly, the characters don’t respect God so much.

「俺はね、もう死んでるんですよ。あんたがそう言った」

Mine: I already died. You said so.

Official: "I'm already dead. You said it, remember?"

「…金は、神か？」

「力、さ。神よりゃよほど役に立つ」

Mine:

Rock: Money is God?

Revy: Power. It’s much more helpful than God.

Official:

Rock: "So money is... God?"

Revy: "No, it's power. And it's way the fuck more useful."

「神は留守だよ、休暇取ってベガスに行ってる」

Mine: God isn’t here. He takes leave and go to Las Vegas.

Official: "God's not in today. He's on vacation in Vegas, all right?"

「祈れ。生きてる間にお前ができるのはそれだけだ」

Mine: Pray. What you can do while you’re alive is only that.

Official: "Pray. That's about the only thing you can still do while you're alive."

All of the official translations are dirty, but they’re also cool.

The comic seems to be sold overseas, so I want to get the English version and see how the lines are stylishly translated.
