Campione!(カンピオーネ!) [Light Novel]

[Chris38]

I'm really sad right now . I hope that the translations are going to continue in some other place.

Even if that doesn't happen hope that at least some summaries about the future volumes events are going to be posted somewhere...

Hard to tell ... I requested the same for Ore to Kanojo ga Geboku de Dorei de Shuujuu Keiyaku volumes about 5 days ago in its Animesuki thread, but no answer yet

I'd definetly buy 79 volumes right now, if they were in english. Not that their so-called "losses" exist, since I myself wouldn't buy a book I can't read for any reason ...
"and therefore infringes the copyright owner's rights"
Really now? Well, okay, if the translation was kept up, you'd have 0 sales my way. Now that it was taken down, you'll still have 0 sales my way, since I can't read your product, however much I'd want to, or however much I'd pay for it.
I must therefore conclude your profits which were supposedly harmed by zzhk and B-T never existed to begin with, meaning you didn't have your rights infringed. Not to mention translations supposedly have their own IPR management, which was neglected during this takedown notice.
Also, I'm more worried that now that Shueisha made B-T retreat, they (and possibly other publishers) will just bombard the site with C&D notices. If they won't stand their ground, they'll need to give up on the site altogether if that happens ...

===================

Well, back to Campione. I wonder when the next volume will be coming out ... any info on it, like a title or something? I scouted the forums a bit, but didn't find anything at all. If we look at the release dates, we should be due a new volume right about now, but there's no info at all. Did zzhk mention something at all, and I'm just blind, or what?

I'm quite angry myself. How is online translations infringing anything? We can't get those books normally and even if we were to buy copies, we'd need to learn an entirely new language to read them. I cannot believe shueisha would strike like this...there are loopholes to their logic, hopefully someone can get it back.

This will be my last comment on this matter, so if a mod is reading this don't remove please

Anyway can someone provide a basic summary of what is now happening? I have read the campione novels but I can't remember what happened in the latest volumes...

^The seven Campiones is going for battle royale among themselves so that when the King of the End is revived again he will not be as powerful as when there are seven campione walking the earth.

As for this novel got deleted from BT, well I guess it's lucky that I had start learning Japanese last year.

I wouldn´t worry so much on the matter, it is indeed sad, but the translations of SAO continue like normal even after it was licensed and when Index was licensed as wll the translator hw wil continue regarless on another site. Let´s wait to hear what zzhk-san has to say about this matter and pray for the best, for a light novel this popular I think it´s only a matter of time before it´s completely translated, licensed or not.

Guys, this discussion about the possibility of future translations must stop.

To make everything perfectly clear, Anime Suki has decided to treat the Campione novel series as if it has been licensed. This means that discuss of how to find translations, sharing of translations, discussion of translators for Campione, all the usual licensed material stuff is forbidden.

This does not mean that you can't discuss the content of Campione including the content of any future novels. Those discussions are still allowed. But unless you have a legal copy of the books, don't mention where or how you learned about the contents.

The decision to treat Campione as if it were licensed is non-negotiable. So please save yourself some time and effort and don't bother arguing with this decision.

[Nihgthawk]

So Rama got summoned with 100 Campines present and poof all the Campiones are gone oh well moving on.

So Takedzuki Jou as far as I can tell has only has Campione and Meiyaku no Leviathan as his current LN projects and has only released three volumes, one Campione two Leviathan, total this year unlike his usual four so has anyone heard/read anything saying that he has been ill or anything or do you think he is just taking his time to hash out the outline for what I am supposing is going to be the final large arc to wrap up the series.

First large over all story arc being the lead up to the fight against Rama and the next huge story arc is the Campione extermination war leading to the rematch fight against Rama. I can see why he would take his time to hash all of this out.

[belatkuro]

He's doing 3 series actually. The third one is called Chronicle Legion. Artist is BUNBUN. Volume 2 was released last March while Volume 3 last July. Meiyaku volume 7 is coming out on November while volume 6 was last January. Adding vol18 of Campione last April, that's 5 volumes he released this year.

I'd say he's just taking his time in thinking about the plot. Last volume was mostly sidestories with some new content to at least stall for time.

Same here. I have been reading since volume 3 I think...no wait it was the later half of volume 2 that I started. Regardless its sad to see it go. Didn't the author start the series on BT? From what I could tell he did. Regardless I can't wait for the battle royale. :3

No the author had nothing to do with BT that was all fan translations.

Well said. Same here. xD I prefer having the feeling of a book in my hands and I want to support the author. :3

[Zetsuen_no_Myuu]

Ugh. I too hope the translation will continue somewhere else. The fan translation for Campione! thus far has been top-notch and moe~, it's up to standards for LN translations. Therefore, I'll cry if Yen Press (or a similar publisher) licenses Campione! of all things. I simply despise their localized translation, especially since it lacks moe.

[Zurvan]

I'm also sad to see the Campione's translations go and hope that somewhere else they will continue, Campione was my first light novel so I really want to finish it.

Regardless of this great loss I have a question.
What will happen (or would have happened) if Doni with his all cutting sword would have found the KotE's sword and cut it in half, or many many little pieces? Would the King revive straight away, would he lose his weapon and with it his immortality, since he sleeps in his sword? Or would it make no difference at all?

guinevere used Rama rusty sword, to turn in Spear of lancelot.
Prince alec used another sword left by Rama to deceive guinevere.

there is an unknown number of these swords.

It happened already. I won't spoil the stuff too much, in case you have the PDFs (unlike me ), but he did use it on the sword, which then had a crack - let's just say the aftereffects would put a 10gT nuke to shame.
Anyway, the Divine Sword of Salvation is in essence the main body of KotE. So I'd say that once it snaps, he's done for - therefore, I speculate that his defeat simply entails the destruction of the sword itself, which makes things clear, though as for how that feat can be achieved, I have no idea, since not even Doni could manage to do it.

Then again, taking a Campione's nature into consideration, it might succeed with another try - nearly anyone would say "f×ck dude, that's impossible" after such a failure. Doni'd probably say "Really, man, I'm happy you managed to resist that. That means I'll have to bash it even harder the next time I try."

If memory serves me right, Guinevere only gave the sword's power to Lancelot, since the sword in question was watching a romantic, starry view at that time. The power itself is some mechanic by which the power of mother earth godesses is used.

Also, Alec simply used a decrepit sacred sword, to which Lancelot reacted with rage, since "it wasn't the one" - again, starry night view - which means it didn't have anything to do with KotE.

Sure enough, Excalibur is a sacred sword (like Gram, Tyrfing, Balmung, Durandal, Hauteclere, Collbrande, Irokaneayame, etc. etc.). There are an unknown number of sacred swords, true, but a known number - one, in fact - of the Divine Sword of Salvation.

I do have them, *smiles wryly*

And couldnt Doni cut it completely if he just slashes it multiple times? Or is his All cutting sword not really all cutting? Assuming the King hasnt awoken or is sleeping of course, I doubt Doni will have the luxury of slashing willy nilly at the sword if Rama is around. And Doni survives the cutting process.

Yeah, in theory, he could slash it multiple times.

The trouble is with the frickin' napalm shower that resulted from the first crack.

anyone who has heard anything about volume 19?
