Do these English guidebooks have any Japanese equivalents?

Hello.


Apparently, a few years back, FUNi released a bunch of DVD booklets in the official DBZ website
in both physical and digital form to follow up on the HD release of Z. Does anyone know if these booklets are translated from Japanese equivalents?

Re: When all is said and done, who was stronger: Super Perfect Cell or SSJ2 Gohan?

It baffles me that some of the users in this thread haven't been banned yet with the way they carry themselves. If they wanted to see an echo chamber with no dissenting opinions, they should have kept their opinions veiled. Anyway, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, a video-game that is supposed to be canonica...

Re: When all is said and done, who was stronger: Super Perfect Cell or SSJ2 Gohan?

In other words, the Daizenshuu is basically flat-out stating here that Cell turned the situation upside down and become even more powerful than Gohan. Or by fucking up Gohan's arm. The fact the image used to illustrate the statement is Cell saying he has vastly powered up right after he kills Trunk...

Re: When all is said and done, who was stronger: Super Perfect Cell or SSJ2 Gohan?

Where does he say that attack was casual? Also he's referring to the fact that he killed Trunks and tried to kill Vegeta, instead of just blowing up the Earth / fighting Gohan. He's referring to both things. If he had been playing around up until the point he started gathering the energy for his So...

Cell never describes the attack meant to kill Vegeta as "casual," he never even comments on that attack outside of saying it's a bonus https://i.imgur.com/BVb5GgK.png お遊びはもうせんぞ... すぐに 終わらせてやる.... Cell: I'm going to stop playing around [with you all] ...And finish this straight away...

Re: When all is said and done, who was stronger: Super Perfect Cell or SSJ2 Gohan?

There is, of course, the whole reason behind Gohan's injury to begin with: him getting hit with an attack that Cell himself described as 'casual' a few pages later, which wounded him so badly it cut his power to less than half its former glory. The common counter-argument that he was off-guard is un...

Re: When all is said and done, who was stronger: Super Perfect Cell or SSJ2 Gohan?

Aside from everything I've already pointed out beforehand from the Japanese anime, the Dragon Boxes, and even Cell's own feats in the manga, there's evidence from the Daizenshuu pointing towards Cell's superiority. The Daizenshuu 2's Final Battles section refers to Cell's return to Earth as a "...

If you want to ignore all the blatant evidence speaking for Cell, have it your way. That doesn't change what is stated.

Re: When all is said and done, who was stronger: Super Perfect Cell or SSJ2 Gohan?

The anime didn't need to drag it out for like four or five episodes, but it did so to artificially add more drama and tension, plus to make things easier on the animators. In filler, characters gawp and say generic phrases like "Incredible!"/"I've never felt a power like this before!...

Re: When all is said and done, who was stronger: Super Perfect Cell or SSJ2 Gohan?

Beyond the fact that they're mostly filler guff, none of those anime quotes are conclusive, definitive statements that point to Cell's superiority either. Cell boasting about his own power and Gohan doubting himself don't count, since that's just their characterisations. Dende says nothing conclusi...

Re: When all is said and done, who was stronger: Super Perfect Cell or SSJ2 Gohan?

No, it is confirmed by multiple guidebooks that Gohan's injury did cut his power in half; Goku's encouragement simply allowed him to draw forth some of his dormant anger-power with the final Kamehameha burst. The Daizenshuu 2 confirms this: During the Tenkaichi Budoukai he transforms at Kibito's req...

Re: When all is said and done, who was stronger: Super Perfect Cell or SSJ2 Gohan?

The evidence leans towards Cell being stronger far more than it does Gohan. It is stated four, if not five times in the anime that Cell's power surpasses that of Gohan. Cell's power-up sequence in the anime shows his ki being strong enough to grab the attention of spectators across the universe, wit...

Re: When all is said and done, who was stronger: Super Perfect Cell or SSJ2 Gohan?

The Dragon Box guidebook explicitly states that Cell powered-up to become even greater than Gohan after recovering from the brink of death and returning to Earth: Having recovered after blowing himself up, Cell returns to Earth with a power far beyond his Perfect Form, a power equal to, if not even ...

Re: Herms' Guide Guide (Collection of Information Awesomeness)

I think it would be good if Herms clarified the Kaioshin Realm is actually a fifth of Universe 7's size. The Daizenshuu states it is a tenth of the combined scope of the Living World and the Afterlife, which would make it a fifth of the size of the material universe.
