Hello everyone, I have two questions about this scan:
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]
1. Was Goku referring to 'Super Saiyan 1' or Super Saiyan as a general term (which would include 1, 2, & 3)? Is one more likely than the other?
Here are some examples of 'Super Saiyan' being used more generally:
[spoiler]Chapter: 444 (DBZ 250), P7.1
Gohan: “Well, I’ve become a Super Saiyan. Now what? Is it alright if I fight like this?”
Note: He said this while in Super Saiyan 2.
Chapter: 450 (DBZ 256), P2.5, P3.5
Context: after Vegeta and Goku talk about Dabra not being that great
Kaioshin: “Un-unbelievable. Is this ‘Super Saiyan’ thing really this great?...Come to think of it, it was quite hard to stop Son Gohan from moving after he became a Super Saiyan…And even that might not have been his full power…”
Chapter: 479 (DBZ 285), P5.2-4
Context: when the Z Sword breaks, after Gohan trained with it for a day
Gohan: “But…thanks to that, my arm strength has increased a lot. That Z Sword was incredibly heavy, after all…Perhaps this was what they meant by me obtaining the greatest power in the world.”
Kaioshin: “I-I get it…If he’s acquired that much power in his regular state, then if he becomes a Super Saiyan it will become an even more substantial power-up…! Ye-yeah! That’s it! That’s definitely the greatest power in the world…!”
Goku: “…But…Is he greater than Majin Boo?...I wonder…”
Chapter: 496 (DBZ 302), P7.2-3
Context: after Gohan transforms into the ‘mightiest of warriors’
Goku: “It re-really is incredible…It’s super-duper…! Absolutely unbelievable…Your appearance has hardly changed…And you ain’t even a Super Saiyan…Yet you’ve been taken to su-such an extreme…”
Elder Kaioshin: “Hmph, transforming isn’t good. That Super whatever-its-called is the wrong way [of doing things]…”[/spoiler]
2. Does adding the squiggly lines in-between "
じゅうぶん" emphasize Old Kaioshin's point? Is it another way of saying Gohan and Goku's merging will be much more powerful than Boo? Or does it mean something more like what the anime translates the line as?
Here's the comparison between both translations:
[spoiler]Episode 267
9:19
Old Kaioshin: "If you're going to become Super Saiyan, it's better to do it after you've combined. And even if you don't do so, the power from just the Potara should just be enough."
Chapter: 502 (DBZ 308), P1.3
Context: Goku asks if he should become a Super Saiyan before merging with the Potara, and Elder Kaioshin advices against it
Elder Kaioshin: “If you’re going to become a Super Saiyan, it’s better to do it after merging. But anyway, even without doing that, you’ll probably be plee~~eenty. The Potara’s power is just that amazing!”[/spoiler]
