Translation Time: Xenogears, Part Beta 3

[kahran042]

It's been a long time, but here are the character weapons of Xenogears.

Rods:


Magical Rod - マジカルロッド - MAJIKARURODDO - Magical Rod

Arcane Rod - シグナルロッド - SHIGUNARURODDO - Signal Rod

Hot Rod - ラジカルロッド - RAJIKARURODDO - Radical Rod

Or "Logical Rod." In either case, the katakana are nearly identical to those for the Magical Rod, above.

Lunar Rod - ムーンロッド - MU-NRODDO - Moon Rod

Marshal Rod - マーシャルロッド - MA-SHARURODDO - Martial Rod

Thunder Rod - サンダーロッド - SANDA-RODDO - Thunder Rod

Stone Rod - アースロッド - A-SURODDO - Earth Rod

Flare Rod - フレアロッド - FUREARODDO - Flare Rod

Ice Rod - アイスロッド - AISURODDO - Ice Rod

Queen's Rod - クィーンロッド - KUI-NRODDO - Queen Rod

Dynamite Rod - ダイナマイロッド - DAINAMAITORODDO - Dynamite Rod

Dark Rod - ダークロッド - DA-KURODDO - Dark Rod

Psycho Rod - コテンパンロッド - KOTENPANRODDO - Bruising Rod

Literally "black-and-blue rod," but this name makes it a bit more clear.

Whips:


Leather Whip - レザーウイップ - REZA-UIPPU - Leather Whip

Iron Whip - アイアンウイップ - AIANUIPPU - Iron Whip

WhippaSnappa - スナッパー - SUNAPPA- - Snapper

Cobra Cracka - コブラ - KOBURA - Cobra

Sonic Wave - サウンドウェイブ - SAUNDOUEIBU - Soundwave

Wonder Whip - バスターウイップ - BASUTA-UIPPU - Buster Whip

Thor's Thunda - ライジン - RAIJIN - Swift Thunder

Or "thunder god." Without kanji, it's pretty ambiguous, but "swift thunder" makes more sense for a whip, IMHO.

Death Adder - デスウイップ - DESUUIPPU - Death Whip

Guns:


B&J M10 Gun - Ｂ＆ＪＭ１０ - B&JM10 - B&JM10

B&J M686 Gun  - Ｂ＆ＪＭ６８６ -  B&JM686 - M&JM686

Ether Gun Left - エーテルガン左 - E-TERUGAN hidari - Ether Gun Left

Ammunition:


I used "bullets" rather than "bullet" as the translation for 弾 here because you buy them in packs.

B&J M10A Ammo - Ｂ＆ＪＭＡ弾 - B&JMA dan - B&JMA Bullets

B&J M10S Ammo - Ｂ＆ＪＭＳ弾 - B&JMS dan - B&JMA Bullets

B&J M686A Ammo - Ｂ＆ＪＭ６Ａ弾 - B&JM6A dan - B&JM6A Bullets

B&J M686S Ammo - Ｂ＆ＪＭ６Ｓ弾 - B&JM6S dan - B&JM6S Bullets

B&J M686X Ammo - Ｂ＆ＪＭ６Ｘ弾 - B&JM6X dan - B&JM6X Bullets

MatAero Ammo - Ｅ００１弾 - E001 dan - E001 Bullets

MatTerra Ammo - Ｅ００２弾 - E002 dan - E002 Bullets

MatPyro Ammo - Ｅ００３弾 - E003 dan - E003 Bullets

MatHydro Ammo - Ｅ００４弾 - E004 dan - E004 Bullets

The names of these ammo types were likely changed to make their elemental attributes more clear.

EthEarth Ammo - 地のエーテル弾 - chi no E-TERU dan - Earth Ether Bullets

Swords:


Since these are all katanas, I chose to leave their names untranslated.

Sengoku Sword - 戦国刀 - sengoku katana - Sengoku Katana

Yamame Sword - 山女 - yamame - Yamame

Literally "mountain woman," but could also refer to a type of fish.

Yamato Sword - 大和魂 - yamatodamashii - Yamato-Damashii

Mumyo Sword - 無命 - mumyou - Mumyou

The given kanji have a lot of possible interpretations, but the one I think fits best is "lifeless."
