The general controlling the industrial area.

A man with a strong build, he’s rough, crude and solves everything using brute force.

Despite that, he’s clever, so although he’s daring, you can’t catch him off guard.[2]

“… Shall I crush you and get it over with?”

“I’ve come to test your strength.”

TL Notes:

ひとおもいに gives off this feeling you’re just going to do something, or you’re going to do it resolutely. It can also be used in the context of mercy-killing people and putting them out of their misery. With my TL, I wanted to give off the feeling he’s pretty much going to kill whoever he’s talking to and call it a day. As a side note, depending on the context, he could also be talking about other people, like "shall I crush them".

I had to translate this in a roundabout way for the sake of sentence flow. I simplified 大胆な行動 by TLing it as “he’s daring” instead of sticking to something like “he acts in a bold/daring manner” for the sake of flow. 隙がない literally means that there’s no gap, but truly when talking about a person it means that their guard is always up. I translated it as “you can’t catch him off guard” to avoid making the translation sound too stale and repetitive with those “he is he is he is” and whatnot.

“After all, they’re in the middle of our sandbox.”

“Organizations with no ambition will only know ruin.”[2]

TL Notes:

箱庭 is a miniature garden, but can also refer to a sandbox. I’m interpreting this line as ??? talking about Nijigao City being a test ground of sorts, so “sandbox” felt more appropriate. The context is also unclear, so they could very well be talking about the Riders (hence why I used “they” in this TL) or just everyone in general, so it would be more of a “we”.

衰退 is “decline” or “decay”, but “ruin” sounded better considering the structure I used. I also went for “will only know” to TL あるのみ (”there’s only”) for the sake of sentence flow.

“Do not worry. Chaos foresees everything.”

“Everything moves according to Chaos’ will.”[2]

TL Notes:

This is more of a general note, but in general I preferred to TL カオスの意思 as “Chaos” instead of “Chaos’ will” or “the will of Chaos” because his belief almost sounds religious in nature, as if you could just substitute “Chaos” with “God” instead. So, I suppose I sort of humanized the concept of Chaos here with my TL. I also didn’t contract anything to try and give off the same kind of slow feeling his voice lines have.

The passive is used in the OG line, and it’s more literally along the lines of “everything is led by the will of Chaos” but I opted for a wording that would have a better flow overall.

“… The day when you naive Riders will realize the truth is just around the corner.”

“Fufu… I can feel your eyes on me…”

TL Notes:

I took liberties with the structure here for the sake of flow, but the gist is pretty much the same; the original structure is more about listing qualities that seemingly allow her to see through stuff.
