I found this in DS Fanboy's screenshots archive for GK.

Is this old? If not, what's the translation?

...Also, I just realized this might be the wrong forum. If so, oops. :bellboy:

My Japanese is real limited, but my Chinese tells me that the last three words are 'visitor'. :phoenix:

I believe that JapaneseGIRL translated this somewhere already.

As for where? Well, I'm not sure. ^_^;;

Judging from the first two characters and the 'no', I believe it's Turnabout Visitor? Don't quote me on that, though.

That sounds really familiar. I think you're right. ^_^

Actually, if that's a 'no', wouldn't it be "The Visitor's Turnabout" instead of "Turnabout Visitor?" Guess it's about the same, though. :yuusaku:

That could be right, but I was also under the impression that 'no' could mean a number of things depending on the context. I guess only the case will actually tell. :eh?:

The word behind turnabout means something like 'of the'. So maybe Vistor of the Turnabout? Turnabout of the Visitor? I have no idea, lol.

I would stick with "Visitor to the Turnabout" as an official US name. Sounds cool.

I kind of like Turnabout Visitor better. Its more concise and sound stronger with out the preposition and definite article.

But the 'no' kanji means there is at least a 'the' or 'of the'.
We know there is a "Turnabout", a "the" and a "Visitor", so Turnabout Visitor is not likely to be it.

EDIT: Could somebody write the title in kanji characters, please? I could use that.

I'm just saying what sounds better to me. Part of translating something is about getting it to sound right in the localized language. How faithful are the translations of the other case titles? I don't know since I don't read Japanese, but I do remember many of the cases in English were just Turnabout "Insert other Word Here."

I ran a quick translation, and の in English is 'of', which is pretty close to my first guess. Some episode titles are 'insert something here' to/for Turnabout, like Recipe for Turnabout, and Bridge to Turnabout.

EDIT: 逆転の来訪者
EDIT AGAIN: I ran the kanji I got above into English and the result is Visitor of Reversion. But the possibilities for the final English translation are endless.

Well, "Reversion" is "Gyakuten" or "Turnabout", so it's lit. "Visitor of the Turnabout"

It better be Visitor of the Turnabout, because just having Turnabout ___ for all of AJ was a little generic.


For a localization name, I like The Visiting Turnabout.

guys, you're thinking into this way too much
chill out

の is an all-purpose conjunction word generally denoting possession that can be interpreted tons of ways
this means that, as for the name of this case, it is almost definitely "turnabout visitor"
now go home

Visitor and Turnabout are pretty much confirmed words for the episode, so we can pretty much just make up any word combo we want out of that, so big deal....

Unless they pull a Turnabout Succession/Inheritor or Magnificent/Bridge to the Turnabout on us...

I sort of like 'Visitor to the Turnabout' becaue it makes sense; Edgey's getting his own game [and we dont know if there'd be another] so its sort of like he's just trying it out? if that makes any sense at all
I think either way, it sounds cool! I cant read any japaense kanji or anything, so I can't really make a strong point I guess. I'm just happy that we have some idea to what it could be/is called. :phoenix:
