Happy Queen's Blade 19th Anniversary!

And one more year has passed!

Of course, this year's new offering was Nanashi's Rebirth manga, which started strong with new characters and a cute chibi Melona... but has kinda lost its plot if you ask me?

On the subject of collabs, gacha games haven't really done any this year so far. Limit Break did surprise us with a few ones however, like the recent Darkstalkers one.

While the list keeps growing, one more time we tried featuring some pic of Queen's Blade swag from our community for everyone to see!

This year we got a pic from our pal ジャック:

Catt lends an ear to Alle's woes...?

Enjoy!

Nanashi's Rebirth: Queen's Blade chapter 1 translated!

And here we start with chapter 1, the actual beginning of the story!

Unfortunately, we lost our cleaner, so do let me know if any of you fellas can help out. Also, as a last resort, I tweeted directly to the Queen's Blade account to ask them if they wanted help releasing this Nanashi manga in english (risking a possible cease & desist with all the stuff we've done here? lol), but no response so far. Oh well, I tried.

Enjoy!

Get it here in one piece, or here in a zip!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Alleyne Freetalks (8/11)

A bit of a hiatus until the next (and basically last) chapter is ready tho!

Enjoy!

How does Alleyne take the failure from the other day...?

Fierce Battle! Queen's Blade, Ch 5b

Irma goes to see the Earl, but a nosy elf gets in her way...?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Alleyne Freetalks (5/11)

As all FT5, this one is basically where things go south... but is it the start of Alle's probably best character arc?

Enjoy!

Fierce Battle! Queen's Blade, Ch 5a

We're back with another chapter of Irma's novel! We're getting closer to finishing the Unicorn saga...!

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Alleyne Freetalks (4/11)

The pair keeps training, and a wild main heroine appears...?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Alleyne Freetalks (3/11)

Training with Alle continues, and Melona is brought as a guest...?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Alleyne Freetalks (1&2/11)

Here we start with someone who I thought had probably the best arc in her freetalks!

You might remember that we used Alleyne FT1 as the "prologue" in the story (here and here), hence you get two freetalks this week.

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Irma Freetalks (11/11)

And we finish with Irma-chwan's little story...!

Enjoy!

Nanashi's Rebirth: Queen's Blade chapter 0 translated!

Here we bring you the first chapter of the newest manga, kudos to our guys who helped out! In the end we went with "rebirth" because "reincarnation" was too long for the logo, should be the same thing really in this case (as we'll see later, she seems to just kinda "pop up" in the world suddenly):

Since it's the first time we do a continuous vertical manga like this ("longstrip" some people call it?), we not only offer it as the typical zip with all the pages, but also as single long vertical file, and also a video! (woo, technology!)

If there's anyone who wants to pitch in with typesetting so we can catch up faster with the chapters, let me know!

Enjoy!

Get it here in one piece, or here in a zip!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Irma Freetalks (10/11)

Time to reveal the surprise for Irma!

Enjoy!

Fierce Battle! Queen's Blade, Ch 4c

We'll take a while to release the remaining couple chapters unfortunately, as the novel's proofreading has slowed down for a while...

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Irma Freetalks (9/11)

When trouble arises, Catboy has to fight along Irma...?

Enjoy!

Fierce Battle! Queen's Blade, Ch 4b + 20th Anniversary stuff

So the website for the 20th anniversary opened, promising some funky new goods, a Nanashi collaboration in Limit Break and another short story contest (like the one we saw recently with Branwen or Al).

And of course, the new manga starring Nanashi started here (among maaany other places), starting with a prologue and 4 chapters, presumably with a new chapter every week. At the Discord we somehow managed to gather some fellas ready to help out, can we actually start an english version soon? We'll see!

But back to our story, Elina starts fighting Nyx...?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Irma Freetalks (8/11)

Some more daily life with Irma! Or, I can't believe my Irma is this cute...?

Enjoy!

Fierce Battle! Queen's Blade, Ch 3c

Today, the Nanashi manga's plot was revealed: "Nanako (Nanashi), an office worker who died from overwork, is reincarnated as Nanashi in a world that is similar to her favorite anime, 'Queen's Blade Legend.' The main character of 'Queen's Blade Legend' is Leina, who is also Nanako's favorite beautiful fighter. This is a fictional anime and has no relation to our anime series (it shares some common settings with UNLIMITED, but the story is different). Nanako loves all the beautiful fighters, but her favorites are the five who appear in a flash of light just before she dies. Who are they?"

But back to our novel, the Elina vs Risty fight ends!

Also, another reference to main Unicorn, as the Regio Jokocker guy from Melpha's book is mentioned...!

Enjoy!

"Nanashi's Reincarnation: QB" manga soon starting + new DLC announced?

Nanashi's manga will start in 2 weeks in https://firecross.jp/ (dunno if it will require some minimum payment as some stuff in there does?), with weekly updates if possible. On that same day, they'll  open the 20th anniversary project site with a lot of info... and it seems Nanashi's outfit is too spicy to post on X, lol.

Also, leaked news on the Shantae series point to Wayforward making a QB DLC also for the 20th anniversary...?

...Lol, not really, this was an actual April Fools, a commission from our mod TheEvilOverlord drawn by Niyuyu.

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Irma Freetalks (6/11)

A bit of shopping at Catt's place...?

Enjoy!

Fierce Battle! Queen's Blade, Ch 3b

Elina faces Risty now...?

Enjoy!

20th anniversary project unveiled: "Nanashi's Reincarnation: Queen's Blade"!

So the next project was unveiled early, an isekai full-color manga starring a QB female fan, "Nanashi" (designed by Eiwa), who becomes an anonymous beautiful fighter!

She has Melona's powers in her right hand, isn't interested in fighting and wants to become friends with the beautiful fighters (much like Unlimited Melona herself), with our girls popping up one after the other.

More news as they appear!

What do you fellas think?

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Irma Freetalks (5/11)

Time for Irma to get duped...?

Enjoy!

Fierce Battle! Queen's Blade, Ch 3a

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Irma Freetalks (2/11)

Surprisingly enough, an online click simulator you can access here: https://jp.37games.com/beauty/ announced and started a collaboration with Queen's Blade. A fellow fan posted pics of the Airi and Leina you can get:

こちらの「日替わり内室」コラボもスタートです。
登場するのはレイナとアイリで、開催期間は3月3日までのようですね。#日替わり内室#クイーンズブレイド#queensblade pic.twitter.com/ZB4TCIMCV7

— パーカー@QB (@Parker33206365) February 29, 2024

I'm not going to make a collab vid or even a simple post, because the game is just that bad (why still no 3rd Ikkitousen EB collab tho...?)

In any case, time to see what Irma wants from our catboy...?

Enjoy!

Fierce Battle! Queen's Blade, Ch 2a

We start chapter 2! Elina comes forth...?

Enjoy!

QB Anniversary commission pic!

You fellas might have forgotten, but our trusty Discord mod 'The Evil Overlord' did commission a pic to celebrate last anniversary, to Kuneamorai. Well, it's finished!

Cute!

Queen's Blade Limit Break Story Event 7 (2nd Anniversary)

First of all, credits to our pals LuisFS and Kaiio for unlocking the full story.

It's kinda thematically relevant seeing how we're posting Leina's WT freetalks at the moment.

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Leina Freetalks (10/11)

Leina has a final battle, guess against who?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Leina Freetalks (9/11)

Leina keeps fighting her way to the top...?

Enjoy!

Fierce Battle! Queen's Blade, Prologue

So it's time to start the extra novel, which I like to call "Irma's novel", hopefully we can keep going for a while!

As I might have mentioned once or twice, I can't really call this the "sixth novel" because most of its chapters take place interweaved between the previous books. It could be fun pointing out where the books intersect too as we move along, right?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Leina Freetalks (8/11)

Pity that the QGSC vid got age-restricted, but I guess it was predictable...

Now, time to train with Tomo?

Enjoy!

Big Queen's Gate Spiral Chaos english materials showcase!

After getting the prequel mostly finished, we haven't really progressed much with the sequel's hacking... and yet the translation of the whole thing is just gathering dust. Since we probably won't get anyone to check the translations or proofread them (unfortunately), I thought eh, why not just post the stuff while it's still relevant? So here it is!

Enjoy!

First is the script for all the stages. It's quite chock-full with all sort of comments, most of them addressed to my partner for proofreading purposes, but some are just funky or for the lulz:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CBfQHpYVoUjyf9gUmrp33bwdmlN9e0O4N00UMfBhJ1E/edit#gid=773286664

Also, the DLC stages, with the 3 main new scenarios:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14FBMj9C5ePPHVuvjYT3Wx8JGElrB460LxGUWe1bM7SY/edit#gid=1759013542

Then, all the battle lines, retaining most of the prequel's (actually, they removed quite a few from last time for some reason):

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BZJczYrgu_iWuhQKC_44lPOuRpXuT_sFK4dQk-wm6p4/edit#gid=1822822683

We have here the general strings, including attacks, bios and many other info:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kvChIzQzXP9-IByXlojR_XMLXofawQd5LvhT-XqBJtA/edit#gid=1949423268

As well as the freetalks, revised from when we translated them eons ago:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oPXN45R-aC_si1EpBUzcDaZ2GU-LMcH_lpdP4Dupa_0/edit#gid=978018059

And lastly would be the subbed cutscenes... though I don't recommend checking the video 10 yet (the one starting with Alice on her own) to avoid spoilers:

If you don't want to read all the game script to fully understand that video (which would be the best experience as intended), I can give you a TLDR the way I told my partner below:

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Leina Freetalks (7/11)

Time to train with Echi?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade Short Stories: Bride with the Hair of Cherry - Ch 5b + Epilogue + Afterword (10/10)

And we end our little couple's story!

Hope you liked it! For a story trying to fill in the gaps between the defeated queen Aldra and the amnesiac housewife Al, I thought it was quite charming and nice!

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Leina Freetalks (6/11)

A brilliant example of negotiation success...?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade Short Stories: Bride with the Hair of Cherry - Ch 5a (9/10)
