NOTES:

- Ai to shinjitsu no aku wo tsuranuku! - "Tsuranuku" can mean either "to penetrate" or "to accomplish".

Being that Musashi and Kojirou are Bad Guys, I think it'd be more appropriate for them to be "penetrating the evils of love and truth" rather than "accomplishing an evil of love and truth". (Then again, considering their personalities, the entire speech is inappropriate...)

- Ginga wo kakeru Roketto-dan no futari ni wa... -

"Kakeru" isn't written with kanji - as such, it can be translated a variety of different ways (see above).

The translations listed are not all the possible translations, but all the most likely translations.

"Futari" translates literally as "two people"; in the generalized translation, I say "couple". A couple is not just two people in love, it can just be two people, so don't make any assumptions.

I chose "kakeru" as in "to gamble/wager/bet/risk/stake" because, again, Musashi and Kojirou are Bad Guys, and self-centered, greedy ones at that.

It would be just like them to wager an entire galaxy for personal fame and fortune, at the risk of everything else.
