GX Finalized-Subs!96 (WIP): 😛

Since it's been a bit since I finalized 93-94 and I haven't made an update on 95 and 96 yet (I spent the past few days on some animation/card error touch-ups for 95 and I'm starting now on those for 96 along with this before working on their scripts), thought I'd quickly show off this current work-in-progress: the little bio file Ojin brings out to Saiou about one Zweinsteen Zweinstein early in the episode, which I wanted to take a crack at translating. I did want to more closely mirror how I translated Ryusei Gin (Lorenzo)'s file back in episode 71, but unfortunately my SSD drive giving out back in October meant I lost the project file for it--luckily, I did post the images from it here (and could refer back to my hardsub, worst-case) so that helps.

So, first, I decided I'd crop out the file itself to work on, with the end idea being using CC Power Pin in AfterEffects to pin it back into place here and in the shot a bit before as Ojin initially carries it over to Saiou--the "1930.3.1" cutoff is because that's all that's visible on that line originally, so when straightening/perspective-fixing it for editing, I just filled in the rest of the sheet of paper.

Then, I just fixed the "Allbert" typo there in the Japanese version by moving "Al" over some, and moving the "arubaato" furigana under it to re-center it (might need to lightly fine-tune its new position).

And then this is what I've done so far with the translation. Since Zweinstein's a parody of Einstein, I figured it most likely that the cut-off birth date would be March 14th to match, so I included that here. Other than that, trying to match it to the original text position. The next section is his Award History, with his winning the "Nobelly" Prize in Dueling Physics from 1996-2005--oh right, they're also parodying the Nobel Prize, which I didn't catch in my initial run-through with this ep, haha.

Hope it looks good so far; the final product should look a bit smoother once I lightly blur all the new text to blend in, and it should just take a couple of days to finish and mix it into the footage. After that, I just have some more minor footage fixes I want to work on, but do want to see what I can do with yet another strapping issue that happens for Burstlady... (Back to back appearances, they forget her shoulder strap...) Stay tuned!

(Also, shoutout to a Redditor a few years back asking for this to be translated a bit and getting someone to do just that while transcribing some of the text, which helped me in trying to read through the blur)

#subbing rambling #GX #yugioh gx #yugioh #yu gi oh gx #albert zweinstein #zweinstein #eisenstein #i forgot about the ruler tool in Photoshop for straightening lol #also forgot Sean Schemmel voices him in the dub with the german accent and all haha #actually worked pretty well overall from what i remember #[would love to link to the Reddit thread but Tumblr's still dumb about links and yeeting posts off the tags... but kudos to u/mohamed61]

Whispers Chapter 2

Whispers

Chapter 2

“Magnus, Magnus Bane? That’s who your source named?” Luke’s voice was sarcastic as hell. He didn’t sound surprised at all. “I don’t need to even guess at whom your source was, Alec.” Luke rolled his eyes and Maryse patted him on the leg to try and calm the alpha down.

Alec had called Luke in and he now sat with Jace, Clary, Izzy, and Maryse around the command center table. Alec had pulled what information the Clave had up on the monitors. “Regardless of our ‘source’s’ motives,” Alec stressed wanting Luke to get past just who provided the information. Better to investigate any leads, especially considering they currently had none. “We need to at least look at this Magnus Bane. What can you tell us about him, Luke? The Clave’s records are very thin.”

Luke snorted and even Maryse let out a bark of laughter. “That’s because Magnus has about as much use for the Clave as he does being High Warlock!” Luke drilled Alec with a stern look. “That’s what I mean about trusting your source; let’s get it all out there. Lorenzo Rey hates Magnus with a passion, old bad blood, but even more than that he knows the only reason he is High Warlock is because Magnus Bane didn’t want it.”

Alec’s eyes widened. “Why haven’t we ever heard of him?” Jace asked.

Maryse spoke up this time. “The Clave has kept any and all records they have on Magnus tightly sealed. I don’t know why and after the Uprising, it became worse. I always figured it was for fear. To say the Clave feared Magnus Bane’s wrath would be putting it mildly.” Luke took her hand and Alec couldn’t help but feel happy when his mom smiled at the werewolf, something she hadn’t done for years with Robert.

“Mom, do you know him? Magnus Bane?” Alec asked.

Maryse grimaced. “I had run-ins with him years before and have only recently come back into contact with him. It’s only because of Luke that he even tolerates my presence.”

Alec shared a look with his siblings; they all didn’t want to push. Finding out your parents had been part of the circle had almost destroyed their family. It took all of them, Alec, Izzy, Jace, and even Clary; challenging their prejudices, before, at least Maryse, seemed to change. Verdict was still out on his father, Alec thought sadly.

Luke let out a heavy sigh and laid some files he had been reading onto the table. “I hate to say this, but we are going to have to at least attempt to speak with Magnus.”

Alec looked at him in surprise, he had been so adamant earlier that Magnus wasn’t involved. “What changed, Luke?”

Luke picked the file back up and handed it to Alec. “I got a hold of what the investigators had on the two mundane victims. Look at their last reported locations?”

Alec opened up the file and skimmed down to statements from friends and family. “One was last seen at a place called Ink, and the other at somewhere called City Light’s? Different clubs Luke, not seeing the connection.”

“In addition to Pandemonium, and Whispers, Magnus also owns both of those clubs.” Luke frowned and looked at the bio on the ops center screen. “You’re going to have to think carefully Alec on how to approach him and for angel’s sake do not mention Lorenzo Rey!”

“Alec?” Maryse cried and stood up abruptly. “No way, absolutely not is Alec approaching Magnus Bane!”

“Mom, Mayrse!” Alec and Luke both exclaimed. Luke looked at Alec and attempted to put a hand on Maryse’s shoulder but she shrugged him off and moved around the table to approach Alec. He knew his face was set in a scowl, it had been a while since his mom tried to interfere in his life, or his decisions as Head of the Institute.

“Alec,” she pleaded. “You don’t know what kind of environment you are walking into, no clue what Magnus Bane is capable of.”

Izzy spoke up; she had been studying the files Luke brought and comparing them with the two Downworlder cases she handled. “Alec’s not going into this alone.” Jace and Clary both chimed in as well with Maryse arguing that it wasn’t safe for any of them. Luke wisely stayed out of the family drama, he just looked at Alec.

“Enough,” Alec didn’t shout, or raise his voice at all, but that one word silenced his family. “Mom,” he stated calmly, “your objections aren’t making sense. We,” Alec waved a hand to include his siblings, “have been in much more dangerous places than a night club.”

Maryse turned her head to glare at Luke who threw up his hands in response. “Ok,” he said. Maryse went back over to retake her seat and Alec raised a brow at Luke.

“Like we have said, Magnus doesn’t like Shadowhunters, but if you catch him in the right mood he may speak with you. If for no other reason than amusement or-,” Luke looked at Maryse before continuing, “or to flirt.”

“Flirt?” Clary asked nervously.

Luke smiled at the redhead reassuringly. “Something tells me you will be safe, it’s Alec I am more worried about.”

“Me, Why me?” Alec looked at his mom then Luke as they exchanged glances. Maryse was back to glaring and even Jace began to look a little nervous.

“Magnus has a type; he likes pretty things Alec and has no shame at all in pursuing them.” Maryse spat out, frown heavy. Her frown got fiercer as Izzy began to giggle and Alec’s face turned red.

“Hum,” Alec stammered out as Izzy’s laughter grew and Maryse’s frown grew fiercer.

“You get to be the distraction this time, big brother.” Izzy taunted and even Jace grinned at that.

“One more thing,” Luke broke into the laughter and taunting. “Whispers isn’t an ordinary club, but it’s the most likely place to run into Magnus.”

Maryse glared as Izzy laughed at Luke’s words. “I don’t even want to know, young lady, how you know what Luke’s is talking about, but I promise, we will be having a talk later.” Izzy sobered up at her mother’s words.

Luke fought back a grin before announcing. “Whispers is a strip club.”

Alec’s shout of, “What!” had the command center turning to look at them. He waived them back to work before looking at Luke in shock. “A strip club? That’s where Magnus Bane hangs out?” His impression of this Warlock was not rising at all.

Izzy and Luke both seemed to be enjoying this a bit too much, in Alec’s opinion. “It’s not any ordinary strip club though, right Luke.” Izzy teased. Maryse’s shout of “Isabelle!” At lease that seemed to shut Izzy’s mouth, Alec hoped.

At Maryse’s scowl, Luke also wiped the grin off his face. “Isabelle is right though, it’s not a standard strip club.”

“And just how do you know that, Lucian?” Alec’s mom demanded.

Luke shook his head at her. “Word of mouth I assure you, not my scene at all, you know that Maryse.” Luke turned back to Alec. “It’s unique, in that Whispers caters to all taste. Unlike most clubs that appeal to one sexual orientation, Whispers offers something for everyone. There are three stages, all side by side. The shows are synchronized so that each performer dances to the same music, same moves, at the same pace. The far right stage has a female stripper, the far left male, and in the center is a drag queen. They don’t strip nude but instead to g-strings.”

Alec knew his face was beet red and his mouth was hanging open. They expected him to go there? Once he recovered he shot that down. “No absolutely not! There has to be another place to meet with him.”

Luke shook his head. “That’s just it, Alec. Magnus won’t agree to a regular meeting and trying to catch him anywhere else could take weeks. We don’t have that kind of time. The killer is escalating. Besides, Magnus is guaranteed to be at Whispers, he opens the show.”

Alec suddenly had a vision of a stripping Warlock. “What do you mean opens the show?”

“He introduces the acts and usually stays for the show.” At Luke’s words Maryse let out a snort. “Stays indeed,” she muttered not quite under her breath.

She looked at Alec. “Alec, Magnus Bane is well known for his dalliances, his affairs. He is a playboy who filters through lovers of both sexes like he changes his clothes.”

“Maryse, that’s not fair. You don’t know Magnus, only rumors and what the Clave sells.” Luke scolded.

Alec ran through all the information Luke had told him. His face was deep in thought and one by one the others in the room became silent, each recognizing that Alec was coming to a decision and that whatever that decision was there would be no talking him out of it. Such was the leader Alec was. He weighed all the information, ran through many possible outcomes in his mind, and made a choice, it was always his decision. Bringing himself back to the present, Alec nodded at Luke. “I’ll go, we have to find out what this Magnus Bane knows or if he is the killer we are hunting.”

Luke nodded back, one leader to another. He then took a deep breath and delivered his final news. “None of you will be able to accompany Alec into Whispers.” As he expected the uproar was instant and furious. Alec just watched Luke’s face. He knew there had to be a damn good reason why Luke made that announcement.

Jace was furious, pacing around to stand beside Alec. “No way, Luke! Alec can’t go there alone, with no backup to face this unknown Warlock! That’s insane.”

Luke stood up. “Alec won’t be alone. To get into Whispers, you have to be in the company of a DownWorlder in good standing. I will be going with Alec to meet Magnus.”

TBC…
