# English subtitles: *Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!* episode 26, 00:00–05:00

## Result

The completed, player-ready subtitles are in [`subtitles_first_5_minutes.srt`](subtitles_first_5_minutes.srt). They contain 76 cues covering 00:00:00.830 through the requested cutoff at 00:05:00.000. The final spoken cue continues past the cutoff in the source, so it is intentionally clipped at exactly five minutes.

## Attributable evidence and method

**Facts.** The requested page identifies the video as “Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Go Rush!! Episode 26” and presents episode 26 as the selected episode ([referenced Hianime page](https://hianime.ms/watch-yugioh-go-rush-episode-26-6c924)). Anime Tosho's episode record identifies the same release as episode 26, “Secret of the Space Treasure,” and exposes the embedded ASS subtitle track; the record expressly credits “Translation, timing, subbing: me” to the entameSubs uploader ([Anime Tosho release record](https://animetosho.org/view/entamesubs-yu-gi-oh-go-rush-episode-26-720p.n1583293)). The official Japanese disc page independently states that volume 2 contains episodes 14–26 ([Marvelous official disc page](https://www.marv.jp/special/yugioh_gorush/)).

The SRT was prepared from that attributable entameSubs ASS track, limited to cues beginning before 05:00. I compared the scene order and timing against the referenced stream: Yuamu's explanation and London's reveal, the episode title card, then Rovian's duel and the two Equip Spells. Formatting tags and duplicate styled layers were removed. Dialogue was lightly edited into natural English, while names, card terms, duel values, intentional musical-syllable wordplay (“Do / Re / Mi / Fa / So”), and the character's “sky” verbal tic were retained.

**Inference.** Matching scene sequence, title card, card plays, LP/ATK/DEF values, and cue timing makes it highly likely that the extracted subtitle track and the linked video are the same episode cut. This is a synchronization inference, not a cryptographic identity check.

## Translation choices and uncertainty

- “Lady Rovian” replaces the Japanese honorific form “Rovian-sama” for readable English while preserving deference.
- “Graveyard,” “Tribute Summon,” “Normal Monster,” “Equip Spell,” ATK, DEF, and LP use established English Yu-Gi-Oh! terminology.
- Cues 32–46 and 69 contain deliberate solfège puns. The English preserves the audible sequence and meaning, but no English version can reproduce every Japanese sound association exactly.
- “sky” in cues 13, 15, and 20 is intentionally retained as a character tic/pun. Its oddness is part of the dialogue, not a transcription error.
- Proper card-name romanizations (“Taiban Bluemai,” “Heel Healer,” “Bandijo of the Battle Ballad,” “Double Nexcalibur,” and “Strabishop”) follow the attributable subtitle source. They were not independently verified against an official English card database and are the main unresolved naming uncertainty.
- The upstream source is a fan translation, not an official localization. The supplied SRT is an edited translation suitable for the linked Japanese video, not a transcript of the later English dub.

## Unanswered questions

No official Japanese script or official English subtitle track for this exact Japanese cut was located. Consequently, nuances in the solfège jokes and unofficial card-name spellings cannot be resolved with primary-source certainty from the available evidence.
