Japanese Wikipedia page for "Buu's Fury" is crazy

Post by Herms » Sun Jul 27, 2008 2:05 am

----Notice:This old thread is part of my series of guides. To avoid necro-posting, please post any comments you have in the sticky thread for my guides, rather than here. Thanks!----

Really Late Update: So Olivier Hague fixed the Japanese Wikipedia pages for the Legacy of Goku games, so all of this is no longer true. It was funny while it lasted, though.

So I was looking up fusion rules on the Japanese Wikipedia's DragonBall pages because of the thread that's in the "DragonBall Questions?" forum right now, and I noticed it said that "Gotan", the hypothetical fusion of Goku and Mister Satan, was a playable character in Buu's Fury (it also mentioned that Gotan is playable in Budokai 2, which I believe is true). Now, I've played through Buu's Fury about a zillion times and unlocked everything repeatedly, and I'd never heard of that, so I went to the page they had for Buu's Fury for more information. It turns out their page describes a completely unlike the actual game. At first I thought this was due to regional differences, but as far as I can tell Buu's Fury was never released in Japan (the page itself describes the game as one sold overseas). Not to mention much of the stuff is says sound like obvious lies, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Basically, it says that Buu's Fury is composed of multiple possible routes, and that the game's story changes dramatically based on what you do. What's more, there's an alternate mode called "Other World" set in Future Trunks' timeline where you play as him. It says that aside from King Gurumes, practically all of the movie villians appear. Sadly, the real Buu's Fury isn't quite that awesome.

Some things it says are supposed to happen in this game, if you take the right route:
  • Goku can fuse with Satan to form Gotan, be defeated by Buu, but still end up revered as a hero, similiar to what happened with Satan and Cell (it doesn't say how or if Buu actually gets defeated by anyone).

    Goku can fuse with Videl (?!) to form Godel. They never return to normal, and Godel marries Gohan (?!?!?!?!?!).

    In the "Other World" mode, Vegeta goes Super Saiyan 3 against Broli.

    Freeza is revived by Janenba and attacks Gohan, like in DBZ movie 12, often with the Ginyu Special-Squad in tow. In some routes, Freeza will still be alive and try to get revenge on Goku, only to give up when he recognizes Goku's superior strength. He then just keeps training to try and surpass Goku. If this happens, he will be an NPC during the battle with the Bio Warriors, and fight on Trunks and Goten's side. In other routes he will be revived as a Bio Freeza, together with Bio Cell.

    Cell will also sometimes be revived by Janenba's power, and be stronger due to training in the afterlife. He'll give Gotenks a tough fight, but be seized by the reformed Dabra and taken back to the afterlife.

    Majin Buu can reform into Mister Buu and battle Janenba. In some routes Mister Buu and Satan can team up to defeat the skinny Buu.

    Coola can be revived by Janenba, at which point you fight him as Mister Satan (?). Naturally this is a hard fight, but if you fulfil certain requirements and still lose, Freeza will defeat Coola.

    Turles is mistaken for Goku by Broli, then ends up becoming Broli's underling, but is defeated by Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta, and then revived by Janenba.
It just goes on and on like that, all these crazy fan-fiction type things that obviously aren't in the game. The page is really long, and gives bizzare information like this on practically every character. Despite the absurdity of the information, the page otherwise seems to be written competently. I'd assume this is just someone's elaborate joke, and either nobody's noticed yet or nobody in Japan is familiar enough with the real game to call bullshit. Either way I find the whole thing pretty funny.

There are so many things wrong with that "Godel" part that it makes the "Gotan" fusion seem logical. >_O

Wow, they made the game sound very, very interesting, they probably just got a dozen or so Japanese fans to order up Buu's Fury. What's the URL for this page? It sounds like it would be fun to read, kind of like an April Fools Day joke/Fan-Fic. Thanks for pointing this out Herms!

That's really strange...maybe someone should do a ROM hack. :P

I linked to it in the original post, but here it is again. Unfortunately it's only in Japanese (the English page for the game accurately describes the game).

More things supposedly in Buu's Fury:
  • Bojack is in the game, but is one of Garlick Jr.'s henchmen for some reason.

    Hildegarn is in the game, and is a "rare boss defeated single-handedly by Mister Satan".

    Slugg is in the game, and attempts to merge with Piccolo, but Gohan stops him. If Gohan loses the fight, Slugg will succeed in merging with Piccolo, but Piccolo will be dominant in the resulting Namekian, who calls himself "Piccolo Daimao" and allows himself to be killed by Gohan.

    Garlic Jr. recieves the power of Planet Makyo and becomes king of all demons. He then creates a female vampire called Dranpire. Dranpire absorbs Slugg, Bojack, Broli, Bio-Broli, Cell, Bio Cell, Bio Freeza, , Coola, Turles, and Hildegarn. In some routes she'll absorb Garlic Jr. as well. Goku and Vegeta fight her, but get absorbed too. In most routes she is defeated by Gogeta, but in a different route she'll be beaten by Freeza.
    edit: Shame on me for not remembering that Drampire is the name of the female vampire from Dr. Slump (called "Trampire" in Viz's translation for some reason).

    Kaioshin is defeated by Freeza (I get the feeling whoever wrote this likes Freeza), and Goku says that he has "a smaller ki than Dai-Kaio".

    Thunderbolt, the Mister Satan-like character from Neko Majin Z, is in the game and is one of Satan's pupils, along with those two filler guys.

    King Cold fights with Gotenks.

    The Ginyu Special-Squad are revived by Janenba and fight Gohan, sometimes together with the Coola Armored Squad. Their dialog parodies Superman 4.

    Goten fights Turles' gang (who are apparently called the "Crusher Gang") as part of his training.

    There's an "Android No.9" in the game, who is actually Tao Pai Pai (presumably Cyborg Tao Pai Pai). He gets revived by Janenba.

    Dr. Uiro is actually Android No.21, and Dr. Gero's pupil. He's also the one who makes the Bio Warriors, instead of Jagga's scientiests. Uiro's henchmen are lumped in with the Bio Warriors, and Buyon (the monster Goku fights in Muscle Tower) is also one of the Bio Warriors.

    Bibidi actually created Majin Buu using the power of Planet Makyo. After he's killed he continues his research, and creates Janenba by borrowing power from Garlic (I also get the feeling that whoever wrote this likes Garlic Jr.). Babidi helps Bibidi create Janenba after getting killed.

    Dabra has Akkuman, Lucifer, Shura, and Ghastel as underlings. After being killed by Buu and reforming in heaven, he takes Cell back the afterlife when Cell is revived by Janenba.

    Piccolo Daimao's underlings all get revived by Janenba.

    In the Buu arc, Slugg and his men are ordered by Garlic to go to New Planet Namek, and in the Janenba arc orders them to find out the method of restructuring people into androids.

    The previously mentioned Dranpire has a group of Demon Clan underlings that she gathered "from somewhere". They're named Manba, Rackal, Getto, Half-Fish Man, and Mummy-Man (apparently not the same as Uranai Baba's fighter, Mummy-kun).

    Yamcha is described as a gag character who depending on the route will die up to five times, but be revived each time. In one route he becomes Janenba's underling, and is defeated by Mister Satan (I guess the guy who wrote this liked Mister Satan too).

    Paikuhan is also described as a gag character. He doesn't have the strength he does in the TV show, but instead is easily defeated by Cell and dropped by Freeza onto Hell's Mountain of Needles.
And that's it actually. The whole thing is 15 pages long.

Oh my God... hahahahahaha GODEL??!!! Godel marrying Gohan? What is he, bi- or something? Imagine what Pan would be like... o.O I'd guess a hybrid, if y'know what I mean. :wink:

Godel would probably be an hermaphrodite too. And it would count as Incest!
Ok, the page is way way more crazy than I thought earlier, reminds me of "Take of your pants, we must fusion!"

'Godel' would be male. Remember, we saw a male-female Potara fusion - the Elder Kai. :P

Well, it might vary from case to case, and we don't really know what the Elder Kaioshin is like anatomically.

I tried using the Google web translator to translate the Wiki page, but it didn't really translate it properly, or at least didn't put the words in the right order. Combined with how inaccurate the actual words are this poorly translated page is pretty crazy: Here.

Enjoy! :lol:

Well that's...interesting. But that reminded me of something I forgot to mention: it says there's someone or something called "Another Perfect" who appears in Other World (as in the supposed game mode where Trunks is the main character, not the afterlife) and fights Trunks after Trunks defeats Cell. It is also supposed to be the last boss of the previous game. This makes me wonder what their Legacy of Goku II page is like...

Japanese Wikipedia page for Legacy of Goku (translated).
Japanese Wikipedia page for Legacy of Goku II (translated).

Judging by some of the names I saw on those pages (Metal Peach (supposedly another Cell), Android 9, Android 13, Android 14, Android 15, Garlic) I'm assuming that these pages have been "modified" too, but it doesn't seem as bad, based on the poorly translated versions I linked to.

There, I made the link a single word. I guess that when I pasted the link I didn't think about how it would look, but I didn't think it would be a problem either way, since it didn't stretch the page at all; but oh well, as long as it takes so little effort I don't mind changing things so that they appeal more to others...thanks for voicing your opinion.

Well, I looked at the page they had for Legacy of Goku I, and it looks mostly normal. They do list Orwen and Blueberry as Freeza's henchmen. Blueberry is one of the two guys who captures Bulma during the immortal giant crab filler, but I don't know who Orwen is. Either way, I think these are supposed to be the names for the generic Freeza mooks you fight. I think that's also why Appule is listed as being in the game.

They also romanize Princess Snake's name as "PRINCESS Medousa" for some reason. It says that she is the queen of Hell, and was kidnapped by Lucifer. After you rescue her from Lucifer you fight her (well, it is true that you fight Princess Snake in the game) but she has greater power than Lucifer for some reason.

So yeah, it says Lucifer is in the game, in the Demon Realm of Darkness (one of the names for Dabra's Demon Realm). He has Ghastel as his underling, as well as Shura (that Demon Realm guy from DragonBall filler). There are also two guards of the gate between Hell and the Demon Realm called Mera and Gora, similliary named to Goz and Mez, Hell's two oni that Goku meets.

It also says that you can view Barduck and Freeza's battle from the Barduck special. Sadly, they really make this game sound a lot more interesting than it actually is.

Something interesting is that at the top it notes that though only the second game in the series is available in Japanese, there are also Japanese versions of the other two made by fans (how it's phrased also kind of implies there are bootleg Japanese versions of Legacy of Goku II as well, despite the official release). I wonder if some of these bootleg Japanese versions were altered to add all or some of this crazy content Wikipedia mentions.
