Hello. This is the translation of Shouya Chiba's speech (and a little bit of Hasegawa Ikumi’s san as well) during the 86 - エイティシックス / eighty six - 1st anniversary Operation (April 10th 2022/night). I already posted it in my livejournal but decided to put this translation here as well. I only translated some of Hasegawa Ikumi’s speech and mainly focused on Shouya Chiba’s speech (because he cried and I think that was such a precious moment), not the full event. A friend of mine use my translation and add it to the video, you can check it out here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e2Ps5nEvJHl1o_XMM2pSVctC0GcH9i_t/view
And here is the raw translation of it.
Hasegawa Ikumi-san: I’m really happy. I could work with awesome cast, and the staff here.. I’m surrounded by great staff. Also, I could work with a great vibe like this, and for having me involved in this project... Ah, what should I say, it’s like this kind of fortunate that would not come twice. I had a great time. Thank you so much for supporting “86 -eighty-six-” (anime) up until now. There is also the original work (light novel) as well so from now to be able once more to believe in Lena, Shin, and everyone.. and see their dream, I would like to spend another chance like that in the future. When that time comes, it would be a pleasure for me if we could gather again in the future and fight together again. Thank you so much for today.
Shouya Chiba-san: I’m the voice actor of Shinei Nouzen, Shouya Chiba. Um... Being cast and being able to work as the heroine in this project, being able to deliver all of those work (cried). Uh,.. to do this one-season project seriously, to be allowed to do it is such (an honor). Maybe because everyone told me, how do I say, I think Shin is.. he seems to be completely unconcerned about himself, what kind of person he is, he doesn’t know much about himself but, it's really something to see him being able to meet everyone in Spearhead, being able to meet Lena, being able to meet everyone who told him “you are truly kind” while believing on him.
Also, while doing it, I wonder whether Shin will get his answer for (the purpose of) his life.. whether it’s because everyone is trying their best to live their life or because Shin is letting people around him live their life. That’s why, when that time comes I think... Well, maybe saying Shin is the heroine sounds wrong because I think everyone is the heroine here. And when I met everyone in the cast, everyone who made this project happen, and also everyone who is involved in this project, gladly from the bottom of my heart I could say this is such a fortune for me. Um, well as an actor I think what I’m going to say is kind of unfair but (thanks to this project), I could meet a lot of important people in my life and there are important people around Shin as well, and that is such progress.
That’s why I believe when I took the role as Shin, all the things that I did was thanks to the others, thanks to the viewers. I’m grateful that I listened to the other characters as well for this. Thank you very much.
Hee… It’s going to be lonely isn’t, it? Right? The usual recording place for 86 is going to be gone, the thought of cannot be able to meet the others again, I can’t help thinking of being lonely. What are we going to do? Hmm, the only way is no other than keep continue the project, right? Seriously…
Hasegawa Ikumi-san: Right
Shouya Chiba-san: No, seriously. I think it was really hard to make this kind of work, like before we were told “you are going to play this character, this is the script”, seriously there were a lot of people even in their sleep they keep thinking about cut this and cut that, cried most of the time and while having dark memories like that they keep making this work. But I couldn’t say that we could continue it because I know I’m talking to all the people here and the people who watch the streaming for this event. But, deep in my heart, I would like to see the new view, the place that Shin wanted to show to Lena, so if there is any chance to do it, I’d be very happy if all of us truly hoping to make it happen. I’m sorry, it became so long. Thank you very much. Once more I’m sorry. But it’s better to be told, right?
Hasegawa Ikumi-san: Hee.. Don’t cry!
Shouya Chiba-san: You got me
(And the rest of the conversations were just them joking around and saying thank you)

weiss wearing vladilenas clothes cuz OF COURSE i had to draw her wearing them
WHO GIVES A SHIT followed by a giant explosion is comedy gold oh how i love you vladilena milize
this is all i got *coughs* this is all i got
in all honestly why does lena look like one of them kids whiterose fans would draw for their future selves red streak of hair and everything sjsjenndke
silver hair blue eyes kind of a loser comes from a questionable background close enough welcome back weiss schnee
one more thing this is no part three just a moment i found cute not only are we getting a confirmation of her abandoning her old principles we can also see her abandoning the title of a “pig” hence the pig in a hat lol
just started watching 86 and i’m ECSTATIC this show is soo good i could even say it’s the first show that truly caught my undivided attention since rwby and i wanna talk about the camera work and artistic choices made by the animators and directors specifically and how using very little you can say so much (obviously spoilers for season 1)
first is this moment and is probably the reason why i’m writing all of this in the first place
the shot lines every character to his gun as a sign of a job yet to finish (since he’s the reaper and it’s his job) and then moves to him standing alone amidst the machines cuz hes "always alone" (do i even need to confirm that every single character from the screenshot is in fact dead)
this moment i also found peculiar cuz it establishes lena’s actual place in the republican army’s hierarchy camera moves in such a way to position her lower ever so slowly to almost push her from her “high” when she loses more and more power in the argument and then there’s the spike at her throat when she’s threatened directly
as if to gun the nail in the coffin we see her plans she prepared to keep the 86 safe to help them fade into and get eventually covered by the "order" she was given
the last moment that i can fit in this post is this one it could totally mean nothing but it’s almost like them both moving into the rain is them “dirtying their hands” in a sense now they’re BOTH involved and there’s no turning back
