Nine Is Such A Fascinating Character - Blog Posts
I love this fan translation of Nine's origin chapter way more than the official. More specifically the first line of dialogue:
"Storms calm my heart" just sound much more powerful in context and express a lot more of Nine as a character, and how he find comfort on storms and by extension his own power.
In case you wonder how the official translation is, here's the same page just colored:
The 2nd part of the dialogue also sounds great in the official translation, in a sense the line is more raw than ambiguous. But that's not bad at all.
Whatever it is the official or fan translation, it's certainly amazing how much we can learn of Nine in just a single page of manga and how much Horikoshi was able to tell us about him in so less.
Oh boy, what could have been if Nine was a permanent part of the main story.
