Chou Kochikame - Help me finish this project from 2006
Hey hey hey! Who wants to translate ten pages for me?
Back in 2006 Kochikame put out a special manga with chapters done by other famous manga authors, one of which was Toriyama. He wrote a short chapter about Ryo on Namek.
Anyway, I just found it on my hard drive half-translated, and I'd love to just finish it off.
Here's the pages.
And here's a forum thread with a rough translation of most of the pages.

I don't blame you. I love having quality versions of Toriyama's works that I can actually understand. loldesirecampbell wrote:Ah, thank you. Very close to what I have. I was hoping for the Herms or Julian once-over, plus that first page.

Re: Chou Kochikame - Help me finish this project from 2006
Wow, that's...something. Seems to have been translated into English from a French translation or something, which probably explains a lot. Interesting that they have "Appule" referred to by name when that doesn't happen in the Japanese version.TheDevilsCorpse wrote:Not saying its great, but there is a finished version...
I'll try and put together a translation.
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

Re: Chou Kochikame - Help me finish this project from 2006
The first two pages mention how this is based on a Kochi-Kame chapter from volume 69, called "A New Journey", which likewise mixed Kochi-Kame with DB, though from what I can gather via Wikipedia this did not have any involvement from Toriyama. That chapter featured Zarbon in addition to Freeza and Appule. Page 219 refers to it as a "legendary fake final chapter", though I haven't found any details on that.
The original version references the Japanese word game Shiritori. I decided to switch this out with "Go Fish" to try and adapt the joke into English, but Desire can use Shiritori if he wants. Why "Go Fish"? I don't know.
I've only given transliterations for sound effects that are inside word balloons, and not ones in the background. Just because.

Dragon Ball
[bottom grey box on right] A comment from Akira Toriyama-sensei
Akimoto-sensei, congratulations on the 30th anniversary of “Kochi-Kame”! 30 years! For a lazy bum like me, such an incredible record is inconceivable. It’s a total mystery where you hide such power within your skinny body and gentle smiling face. While our ages aren’t that far apart, you’ve been at this job a lot longer than I have, and it really means a lot to me to be able to do this collaboration manga with you. After all, I’m appearing on the same pages as Ryo-san, who was famous before I became a manga artist. It’s a huge honor, but I’d rather not do this again (laughs).
An Explanation of “Dragon Ball”
[Freeza caption] Serialized in Weekly Jump from 1984~1995. The story of Goku’s adventures as he travels in search of the Dragon Balls, which grant any wish when all 7 are gathered. This collaboration manga is based on the story in “Kochi-Kame” volume 69 where Ryo-san is thrown into the world of “Dragon Ball”.

But, what's the title of the chapter?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Re: Chou Kochikame - Help me finish this project from 2006
And in English it'd be "This is the Police Station in Front of Dragon Park on Planet Namek"; obviously it's a take-off of Kochi-Kame's title. I guess we could call it "Kochi-Dragon" for short.Red Tiger wrote:The title is: "Kochira Namekku-sei Dragon Kouen Mae Hashutsujo"

Maybe that Volume 69 is the one I mistakenly bought thinking it had this crossover. I must have it kicking around somewhere at home.
