フワッフ先生。
彼が使用できるギアはありますよね？
Mr. Fwuff, do we have some Groove Gear he can use?
The Japanese one will shorten “Groove Gear” to just “Gear” ギア sometimes, but English can’t exactly do that with either “gear” or capitalized “Gear” without it feeling off. Since Groove Gear is katakana in the middle of a sentence, the short form still looks like a proper noun there. (e.g. Not literally any mechanical gear.)
ぶちょーなんて、カケルくんは来るのか、来ないのかって
毎日、部室中をソワソワウロウロしてたんだから！
You should've seen how the captain was fidgeting and pacing around the clubroom every day wondering if you would show up!
陽向くん、それは言わなくていいだろう！
Hey now, there's really no need to get into the details...
The translation is good. But still, I like the contrast of the polite “Himukai-kun” and the slightly annoyed remark that follows.
ぶちょー！
ストップ、ストーップ！
Okay, stop! Time to give that tongue a rest, Captain!
Canon simply says “Buchoー Stop, Stoーp!” in Japanese.
カケルくんのお目々がグルグルしてます！
肝心なところだけお願いします！
Kakeru's head is practically spinning! Stick to the important bits, will you!
The Japanese version of head spinning is eyes spinning (with the spiral symbol).
１つ、トリック。ジャンプやターンといった技、肉体が試される。
Number one: tricks. These are techniques that make use of your body, such as jumps and spins.
In Japanese the example was jumps and turns, not jumps and spins.
会場を沸かすほど審査員の評価にもつながりやすい。
だから場の空気を読んだアドリブも大事なテクニックの一つとなる。
When you hype up the crowd, the judges take notice, leading to a better score. Reading the atmosphere and adjusting your performance on the fly is a vital tool in your arsenal.
“Adjusting your performance on the fly” in Japanese is AD-LIB (アドリブ), very likely poking fun at the removed signature feature of the game. I’m guessing some players out there will not take the joke well… luckily English players don’t have to feel the pain here.
なるほど……春大会でヨウ先輩が見せてくれたやつですね！
自由な感じしたし、エンターテイメント性すごかったっす！
I get it... Just like what you showed me in the Spring Tournament! That freestyle-vibe was incredible, and it was super entertaining!
はは、ありがとう。
そこまで直球で言われると、さすがに照れてしまうな。
Haha, thanks for saying so. When you put it bluntly like that, I'm liable to blush.
ぶちょーうれしそー！ ニヤニヤ～！
The captain looks so happy! He's grinning from ear to ear!
As I thought, nothing in English emulates how Canon teased Yoh here using a full set of Japanese language features. The hiragana conversion, the ー conversion, the niyaniya onomatopoeia for grinning that isn’t available in English, and the subtle difference between ー and 〜 used in the same sentence. IT’S SO CUTE.
