Sukeban Deka II (1985) Updated Subs/New DVD Encode - Full Series Batch
This project involved converting the existing hardsubs to softsubs, revising and polishing the translation, and creating a new encode sourced from the Region 2 DVDs. Credit goes to The Skaro Hunting Society for their original work.
1. (The subs are in .ASS format so they won't show via archive's media player. Download it instead)
2. (Recap episode 29 was omitted from the Region 2 Vol. 1-4 DVDs, so it couldn't be included here)

I initially had two goals for this release: a better encode from the DVDs, which I bought myself, and converting TSHS hardsubs to softsubs. Luckily, there were some rough softsubs of the show based on their work that I used as a base to improve further with this new encode.
What began as a light scrub of the script evolved into a much larger project. Initially, I didn't plan to change much, just a few lines here and there. However, after reviewing the TSHS hardsubs, I concluded that the script would benefit from a more thorough translation check and revision. A great amount of editing went into this release, with each episode being checked to ensure translation accuracy. Many episodes were basically retranslated and verified against a Japanese transcription I found online.
Out of respect for their original hard work, I tried to emulate most of TSHS's styling as closely as possible. Naturally, I also kept their credit in the subs. I did change some terminology due to personal preference, but nothing major. I didn't carry over the staff translations and translator notes. But the dialogue, on-screen text, and most of the insert/ed song translations are in. Also, for the first time, I translated the trailer.
Anyone is welcome to reupload these files to nyaa or wherever. I can't do it myself because they have long since closed registration for new accounts. Big thanks to 暗黑热血 over at bilibili for providing a full transcription of the Japanese dialogue for a majority of the episodes. And many thanks again to The Skaro Hunting Society for providing the foundation for this project. Enjoy!
PS: Toei, PLEASE, we need a remaster of this show ASAP so I can have these subs synced with a beautiful high-definition version!
