code_geass | Kiseki no Tanjoubi - Picture Drama Translation

Hello all.

Thank you all for all the new info on the Lelouch Birthday event! I thought I'd do my share by doing a brief translation of the 30 min drama. :) Forgive me for not translating line-to-line. ^^; There are still a few lines I don't understand completely but be assured that I know what I post. :P

Um...only doing this because I looked around and it didn't look like someone fully translated it so. Owo; Forgive me if it were done already.

The scene started with Rivalz asking for help from Lelouch on the school festival. Lelouch commented that it was Rivalz's own fault for leaving things to the last minute. The narrator explained that this is the scene of the Ashford school.

Rolo and Kallen arrived, Rolo said he happily completed the assignment Lelouch gave him and Kallen complaint that all he did was order people around. Rolo said it was because Onii-san trusted them, and the narrator commented on Rolo's goody-goody behavior in front of Lelouch when Kallen jumped at the sound of narration and asked "Who was that!?"

The narrator began to describe how Kallen wanted Lelouch to praise her like he did with Rolo and Kallen shut him up saying "don't put your words into my mouth" and "who the hell are you!?" Narrator replied saying you shouldn't make fun of the narrator. Kallen remembered his voice and said "you're that guy who's weird in the head!" The narrator (Orange) got mad and Lelouch calmed him down, saying he should get back to narration. The narrator replied "YES! YOUR MAJESTY!" Kallen couldn't believe the narrator has to answer to Lelouch and Rolo said that reply was so weird. However, it did give Rivalz and idea of using "Yes Your Majesty" as greetings on the day of school festival. Rolo thought it was a stupid idea until Lelouch agreed it was a good idea and Rolo beamed "I think so too, Onii-san!" Kallen couldn't believe the way Rolo behaved...

Thus Rivalz tried to get everyone to say "Yes Your Majesty". Note this is the audience participation part of the show, which was originally aired during the Dec 5 Lelouch's birthday event in Japan. Rivalz noticed the reply wasn't all that great. Kallen said it's because he lacks good leadership skills. Lelouch said his pronunciation was wrong, it should be "Yes Your MaJESty *accent on JES*" (which is totally not the way orz orz orz Oh Geass Engrish). Rolo commented on Lelouch's pronunciation and told everyone to follow on Lelouch's cue instead of Rivalz.

Rivalz started crying because everyone followed Lelouch's command instead. Suzaku, Nunnally, Shirley and Nina arrived asking what can they help out on. When Lelouch was allocating task, C.C. came in and said she'd be in charge of pizza (and tasting). Lelouch was shocked and asked why was she there. Nunnally said she was helping out in the club house. Suzaku asked (too innocently) "she's your girlfriend, right?" followed by gasps from both Shirley and Kallen.

Lelouch was halted them and asked C.C. what did she say to them. She explained she merely told to truth, ie they share a common secret, and that he proposed to her. Lelouch fought back saying "When did I do that!? Year, date, time to the second!?" C.C. said that was as immature as a school kid. Shirley melted away upon hearing Lelouch proposed.

Suzaku suggested the wedding ceremony to be held at Kururugi temple, and Nunnally agreed that it'd be great. Lelouch said Suzaku wasn't getting it, and Suzaku replied saying he did understand. Suzaku commented saying this will keep him at bay with all his lady friends, and Lelouch suddenly understood that him and C.C. had a pack (OMG Suzaku are you jealous? LOL).

Then the Chinese invaded Ashford and gained control. Milly broadcast the event and wish for everyone's safety. As everyone worried, Lelouch said it was the terrorists' bad day for picking this school. C.C. said here stood the monster that can use highly skilled tactic plans and turn any situation around. Kallen said if here's a monster here it'd be C.C., since she was the most inhuman one. C.C. acted dumb while Nina came up with an idea of using a using something similar to the Freya bomb...(LOL) Of course everyone stopped her and said leave it to Lelouch. Lelouch explained his tactic and proceeded with the plan.

The first part involved C.C. and Lelouch stepping out the club house to face the guards. C.C. taunt them to shoot her and they did. When she didn't die they got scared and called her a monster. Lelouch said the terrorists are guilty of humiliating C.C. and scaring Nunnally. He used Geass and ordered them to trap themselves in the toilet. C.C. asked why didn't he kill them. Lelouch said he didn't want to draw blood in this place. C.C. commented is it because this is a place that's of high importance to him. Meanwhile, Rolo said they've successfully captured the enemy's Knightmare and will meet up with them.

The scene switched to the Chinese command centre, who are loosing control of their crew. Meanwhile, Kallen and Suzaku walked down the hall, Kallen commented saying Suzaku was pretty rash back there with his attacks, and Suzaku in turn said she was pretty skanky herself. She said she was not as bad as him and said he did it back then with his Lancelet. Suzaku said "You mean the Kurukuru-kick?" (LOLOLOLOLOL) Kallen was somewhat stunned "That was the name of the move?" Suzaku said the original name was too long so it was shortened. Kallen noted the original name had nothing in common with "Kurukuru" and Suzaku said it was Todo (his sensei) who came up with it, because Suzaku's name is "Kururugi". They both though Todo was kinda lame that that point...

On the other hand Rolo met up with Lelouch and company and began to advance. Nunnally wondered what happened to the terrorists and Lelouch said they're probably all in the toilet. Nunnally thought it was a joke.

Then it entered a kind of serious moment. Nina said she thought she wanted to say something to Shirley but couldn't remember what it was. Shirley said don't worry about it for now and it'd come when it comes. Nunnally and Rolo also had a talk; Nunnally said since they're both Lelouch's sibling does that make her Rolo's little or bigger sister. Rolo was stunned for a bit as Nunnally went on to ask what was his feeling when mother died, and why couldn't she remember him.

Just then Lelouch got a call from who he thought was Kallen, but it turned out to be the Chinese leader saying Suzaku and Kallen are in his hand. Rolo and Lelouch thought it was only possible to capture those two with the power of Geass.

They met with the Chinese leader, Lelouch asked for Kallen and Suzaku's safety. The bad guy said it was pathetic for him to care for friends when he has no money and no power. Lelouch again asked where his friends are, and the terrorist said they're in the pot he's holding. Everyone thought he was lying except C.C. who said she'd seen that pot before while traveling around the world to learn about the secret of Geass. The terrorist used Nunnally as a test subject and called her name. As she answered, her soul was sucked into the pot. (it's actually a tool from the Journey to the West story) Lelouch was mad but he accepted that the pot was for real. C.C. said not to worry, as long as the called don't reply they're fine. But as the terrorist said she was beautify and live up to the name of a high-class lady, it got over her head and answered to her name, thus losing her soul.

Lelouch tried to think of a tactic to beat the terrorist who won't work with Geass. Then he thought of a plan and told the terrorist to call his name, except he won't be called Lelouch, but Zero, as he transformed. (I don't know how he did it either orz) Just as the Chinese tried to call him, Lelouch cued Rolo to use Geass.

Again it entered into audience participation. It seems they were all given Zero masks when they entered the event, so he Geassed everyone to wear the mask. Rolo said there're still people not wearing it, and Lelouch said something similar to "hey, you in the back seat, hurry it up" (LOL). Rolo said there're still maskless people and Lelouch said it's okay they're staff. Rolo: "STAFF!? O_o"
Lelouch explained that the pot is named "Pot of a thousand people" so it has a limit of 1000. As long as when the Chinese called Zero and everyone answers it'd be overloaded. Lelouch told everyone to scream "Yes your majesty" when he called, and did a few practice runs, all while Rolo was still using Geass (OwO; poor Rolo). Lelouch was saying "Do you want to kill Rolo? Give it your best and scream!" Once he was satisfied they carried out the plan and broke the pot.

(I seriously wonder was there really more than a thousand at the event but anywho...Owo;)

Rolo and C.C. made sure everyone in the audience got their souls back. While the Chinese moved on to using gun instead Suzaku did his Kurukuru-kick and defeated him. Kallen also showed up, and everyone was relieved that they were both safe. Rivalz said it was the power of the student council. Before the terrorist can escape, C.C. caught him. Lelouch said it was time to give him his punishment. Everyone agreed and said "Yes your majesty".

Milly again broadcast the latest development. She got emotional upon learning that everyone was safe.

The scene switched back to Lelouch and company, who stood at the aftermath of the police's ambush scene. Lelouch reflected saying the terrorist was right, he had no power and no army. He reminiscence that he once had it all, money, power and the world, but what was important was in front of him all along.

Then it was followed by his "last words" as previously translated on the comm:

"I'm sorry, Rivalz, for not saying anything to you, even to the end."

"Nina, it ends here for me but it's only the beginning to you. Don't worry, your talents are the real thing."

(Kallen noted his body is disappearing)

"Kallen, so you've returned to school." (Kallen said it was because her mom is fine now, she added but she was always her true self when inside the Knightmare, and Lelouch continued saying) "Don't give up, just go ahead and grasp everything."

(Nunnally said it was as if he's saying good-bye.)

"Nunnally, you can now see clearly. The truth of the world, difference between right and wrong, and your own future."

(Nunnally thought it was weird that he's saying that until she opened her eyes and can see his face)

(Suzaku told Lelouch to wait)

"Suzaku, I leave tomorrow to you. You have the power and the responsibility."

"Thank you, everyone. Not for yesterday, not for tomorrow, but just for today."

As Lelouch disappeared the group noticed Shirley, Rolo and C.C weren't there either. Nunnully finally understood. She asked Kallen what date was it. Kallen replied it was Dec 5, and Suzaku realized it too. Nunnally said it was because it was Lelouch's birthday, so it wasn't impossible that miracles happened. Nunnally said Lelouch has given them lots of miracles. Rivalz agreed and added it wasn't only them, he gave the world a miraculous present called "peace". Nina said they'll treasure this miracle forever.

The scenes continued back to everyone's daily life with everyone narrating their thoughts, which tied in with the serious moment from before. (I thought these are quite important lines as some of them are really touching)

Kallen - "Idiot! I wanted to forget, now there's no way that's going to happen."

Nina - "Now I remember what I was going to say to you, Shirley. 'Thank you for befriending me.'"

Nunnally - "Rolo, I know for sure we'd get along, because we both love our older brother very much."

Suzaku - "You don't need to say thank you to me, Lelouch. After all, this is your sin. But for today: Happy Birthday, Lelouch."

END

The last scene with Lelouch's face may seem weird for being so long but I am guessing this is when the staff come out and give their thanks to the audience as the scene serves as a back drop.

If there are points you think I missed but you'd like to know the translation of, don't hesitate to hit reply and ask me! :)

Thanks for the rough translation pal, brb, crying in a corner now.

Wow, completely unexpected evidence for my Geass OT3. ;)

But yes, it's all ridiculous crack with Spinzaku jokes, until it's not, and then it's all ;_;

Especially everyone's final lines.

Thanks a lot for this amazing and complete translation.
It was really, really, really beautiful, and you are right, the last lines were just...lovely.
/Lol at the little Kallen/C.C. moment.

Ah, so many lols and sniffles at the end too.

Also the little RoloNana moments make me happy. Will HAVE to watch this as soon as I can now. Thank you for translating!

did everyone noticed that Gilford is not wearing sunglass? yeah that confirms that he is not BLIND!!

thank you for translating!
this was lovely (:

I'm so moved! Thank you very much for your hard work :)

Thank you very much for this. ♥

Thanks for the translation. I feared this PD mostly for the ending. So so depressing but still quite beautiful.

I quickly went from this 8D to this ;A; in the span of this.

Thank you for the translation ♥

Thanks for the translation. It's "KuruRUgi", btw, so I think it's the "Kurukuru-kick".

Geassverse's afterlife sure does some trippy things...

I catched the phrases I was more interested in this morning, while I saw it... But thank you so much for this translation, there are clearer points now! ;_;

OMG this ending is so sad... really, it was a bit I didn't cried for Lelouch. /sad

Thanks again! ♥

Thank you! I SO DID NOT WANT TO TRANSLATE 30 MINUTES OF MOSTLY CRACK and you did an amazing job summarizing. ♥

Thank you for translating! SO MUCH. Even though I went from "oh nice crack" to ";A;" upon reading.
<3

Wahhh that was so touching.... ;A;
Thank you so so so so much for translating!!! ♥

Thank you for translating. I have a quick question about Suzaku's final line. I'm having a hard time understanding the tone of it. Is it a friendly thing or a bit more, "I still haven't forgiven you but for today I'll ease up on the grudge"?

I don't really get the would-be friendship of Nunnally and Rolo. He tried to kill her and never even showed any remorse for it. Maybe that shows that Nunally is the bigger person because she can forgive, but to me it seems that Rolo would still be more likely to stick a knife in Nunnally's back than have a friendly chat with her.

The line about them having the same love for Lelouch also puzzled me. I don't think Rolo's love for Lelouch matched that which Nunally felt. Rolo knew losing Nunnally would make Lelouch super sad, and planned to kill her anyway. But when you love someone, making them sad is the last thing you want to do, so to me it seems that Rolo's greatest love was for himself. Most of his actions were done to gratify his own need to have Lelouch to himself. It seemed like less of a love for Lelouch as a person, and more like a love of Lelouch because of the brother role he represented.

Sorry...I'm not trying to go on a rant, I'm just trying to work through why the interactions between these two seem to ring false to me here. So to end on a more positive note, thank you very much, Piggy Hoho, for translating this. Your efforts are appreciated. =)

THANKS SO MUCH xD

I didn't get these though: "Lelouch suddenly understood that him and C.C. had a pack (OMG Suzaku are you jealous? LOL)."

I didn't get the jealousy part ^^; hehehe....

Thanks sooooooooo much for the wonderful translation! I'll have to admit this anime has made me cry more times than I care to count. Everytime I watch the ending the tears start flowing and now this... *goes to corner and cries*

thanks for translation of drama, i didn't know there was one ;D

He reminiscence that he once had it all, money, power and the world, but what was important was in front of him all along.

Aw, this part in particular was very ;_; to me. Ah, Geass, why such a sad show...

Thank you... The last part made me sad... TT

Just wanted to say thanks for the translation! This is my second read through and it still makes me sad ;;

/screams SUNRISE STOP DANGLING ROLO/NUNNALLY SHIT IN MY FACE WHEN I KNOW IT CAN'T BE DONE.

/sulks in corner

sob, i'm so late for this but oh well.

NOW THAT I'VE SAT THROUGH THAT, thank you so much for the amazing translation. It was a blast to read while watching the PD. And the PD... wow, such crack and amazing and hilarious expressions (what the hell, Rolo practically creaming his pants when Lelouch shows up as Zero) and shenanigans combined with such sweetness and baw at the end. Good times, good show, Sunrise.

And I'm surprised how big of a role Rolo got in this compared to the other mains like Kallen, Suzaku, or C.C. Methinks the staff really do have a hard on for him. ~~Not that I mind.~~
