Poem of the Yoroi
----------------------
The poem in Nasutei's computer tells the locations of the Troopers through kanji puns that require special interpretation.
Samurai Troopers version:
| Makimizunara toku, haruka kimi ga tame Natsumamu wagare o zo, fushishinobu Hikarisaku aki, hotoshu ni seshi Ooyuki yamano moreshi fuyu Sora no nagare ni shin mo kogaretsutsu. |
 |
I won't claim to have any idea how to go about translating it. Patricia Munson-Siter's Samurai Troopers Review has an excellent analyis of this poem.
Ronin Warriors version:
Torch of spirit sought through five
Drinking strength from immortal fire
The darkest prison sheds the light
Churning beneath a swirl of salt
Burning within a throne of rock
Floating among the eyes of the ages,
Unmoored in the stream of the sky.
The Ronin Warriors poem is NOT a translation of the Samurai Troopers poem. The only similarity seems to be the last line. "Sora no nagare" means "the stream of the sky."
Chant of the Yoroi
------------------------
In Episode #19, Ryo witnesses the creation of the yoroi, in which Kaos uses a deep meditation to banish Arago's armor.
"Ga su Jinsu
Reke hongan zo;
Jin ze nu
Reke Jin so za;
Gi ze nu
Reke Gi so ze;
Rei ze nu
Regur Rei so za;
Chi ze nu
Reke Chi so ze;
Shin ze nu
Reke Shin so za;
Dara zen Dum!"
