Translations of Shishiwakamaru's Manga Appearances
Yuu Yuu Hakusho is one of the most popular manga out there... but until the folks at YYH Djs in English started translating the series, no one had translated more than a few chapters! What gives? Until the folks at YYH Djs in English reach the higher-numbered volumes of YYH, here are my impressions of the sections featuring Shishiwakamaru.
Correction: Since the last update, Rhionae has posted excellent translations from the French version of Yuu Yuu Hakusho at YYH Manga Translations. And, time and space allowing, I am posting scans of Shishiwakamaru's three main chapters to replace these translations.
To be merciful, I'll warn you beforehand that these translations are a work in progress, and extremely provisional. I'm posting them half-baked because there's nothing else out on the web, and because the translations are never going to get done unless you Japanese speakers out there send me feedback.

no na o todorokasu tame no fumidai da. |
| Yuusuke: | Think nothing of it. Hyottoko ga yo. Na o uri takya TV ni demo dero yo. Pretty-boy. |

| Shishiwakamaru: | You'll definitely be made to regret
saying that. Definitely... Hee hee hee. |
Volume 10
| p. 28 | |
| Shishiwakamaru: | So, who will it be? The first to die. |
| Crowd: | Shishiwakaaa! Isshi o mukuiro! Semete yatsura no ichibiki-gurai shinu toko mitee ze. |
| Fangirl #1: | Kyaaaaa! Waka-sama, gambatteeeee! |
| Fangirl #2: | Pleeeeease kill the Urameshi team! |
| Fangirl #3: | Oh, but please, I don't want you to kill Kurama! |
| Fangirl #4: | Oh—adultress! |
| Koto: | E——Taikai mo junkesshou ni
totsunyuu shi sorezore ni F ga tsuite iru mo you desu. Hanayaka de hijou ni ii desu ne. |
| Kuwabara: | Urusee na ukare onna domo ga. |
| Shishiwakamaru: | Hey, you shippai-zura there. What
are you doing? You're just standing by idly. |
| Kuwabara: | Hey! Who are you calling a shippai-zura? |
| [Note: "Shippai" is "mistake, blunder" and "zura" is "face," so Shishiwakamaru isn't being polite... but I have no idea exactly what this means.] | |
| Hiei: [thinking] |
Baited him good. |
| Hiei: | I'll be the one to do it. Aitsura no naka ja ichiban ___ hagotae ga arisou da. |
| Kurama: | No... I'll go. Omae wa kesshou de youki o basuto ni modosu koto o kangaero. |
| Shishiwakamaru: | Hn... katsuki de iru. |
| [Scissors-rock-paper to decide who goes. Kuwabara wins.] | |
| p. 35 | |
| Koto: | Otto Urameshi team ga jan-ken o shite
iru aida ni Shishiwakamaru. Sukkari sentou junbi kanryou desu! |
| p. 36 | |
| Shishiwakamaru: | I intend to decide it in a moment. It's hard to bear the sight of that face for long. |
| Kuwabara: | *** I'm going to put an end to your pretty-boy days! |
| Juri: | Begin! |
| Kuwabara: | I'm going to make you look like sashimi! |
| p. 37 | |
| Kuwabara: | Uh—Am I groping blindly? |
| p. 38 | |
| Kuwabara: | Wh—what is this place? Uwaaaa! |
| p. 39 | |
| Kurama: | Kuwabara-kun's ki has... vanished. |
| Juri: | Is Kuwabara-senshu out of the ring? Should I start the count? |
| Shishiwakamaru: | That would be pointless. Mite no touri keshita yatta kara na. You saw him disappear. Even I don't know where he went. Ikisaki wa koitsu ni kiite kure. The dark item "The Cloak of Death"...! This world, the Makai, or another dimension... Well, perhaps he went to a worthy place. |
| Juri: | Kuwabara-senshu yaku e fu mei ni yori Shishiwakamaru-senshu is the winner! |
| Fangirls: | Kyaaaaaaa! |
| p. 41 | |
| Crowd: | All right! One down! Beat the shit out of the other two in the same way! Kondo wa ore-tachi ni mo mieru you ni yatsuzaki ni shite kure yo. |
| p. 84 | |
| Shishiwakamaru: | B...black magic, you bitch? |
| Genkai-oneesan: | You talked to me about justice, but that
wasn't my idea at all. It's just that so many people I can't stand are on the side of evil, that's all. |
| Shishiwakamaru: | Fu. Don't say that so easily... If you were always the way you look now... I would fall in love with you... |
Volume 18
| p. 116 | ||
The crackling Makai sky. Yomi, Yuusuke, and Bakushin sit at a low table. A servant brings Yuusuke tea. |
||
Yuusuke sits silently, the paneled door in the background. |
||
| Yuusuke: | ... | |
Behind the door, Kurama and his team kneel and listen. |
||
Grinning like loons, Jin and Chuu hold up notes to each other. |
||
| Jin: (writing) |
Kuu—It's been a while, but he hasn't changed a bit. | |
| Chuu: (writing) |
But he's strong!!! I can feel that binbin guy's power. | |
| p. 117 | ||
Touya soberly holds up a note. |
||
| Touya: (writing) |
But what are we going to do? Hou be ichi no *** Yuusuke o taosu no ka? | |
Kurama thinks for a moment. Kurama holds up his response. |
||
| Kurama: (writing) |
Sukoshi mae made, sore demo shika ta
nai to omotteta. Makai no *** no tame nara. Nani you mo ore nari ni Yuusuke to ***tte mita katta. Shikashi konna *** ja nai. |
|
Chuu elbows Rinku in the head. |
||
| Rinku: (writing) |
... | |
| Chuu: (writing) |
*** made kiku **** nee daro baka. | |
Kurama holds up more notes, looking concerned. |
||
| Kurama: (writing) |
*** itte **tte iru. *** no *** o
kikinai. *** no *** *** to Yuusuke dochira ni tsuku? |
|
| p. 118 | ||
Jin, Chuu, Rinku, and Touya hold up a note which says, "Yuusuke! Don't listen, fool!" In the background, Shishiwakamaru—with a sour expression—holds up a note which reads, "No answer." Suzuki is crossing Shishiwakamaru's comment out and writing in, "Yuusuke." Kurama looks serene, and a little relieved. Hiei watches wth his Jagan. Kurama holds up a note which says, "Many
apologies." Jin, Chuu, or Suzuki holds up a note
which says, "No, no..." Kurama hears something from the conference room which startles him. |
