Re: I don't care if they use the term 'ningen'...
It's only a matter of time... that's why I requested the ban. I'm eventually going to slip up just that 'one more time' and get canned. I don't like the fact that no one agrees with me, it's like everyone here bands together to oppose everything I say. This ningen thing just broke the camel's back ...

Re: I don't care if they use the term 'ningen'...
Well, I did the best I could, but I can't redeem myself after a topic like this. :)
It's time for my departure. :) I won't post at DaizenshuuEX anymore, because people think I'm SuperForteX from GameFAQs.

Re: Hundreds, maybe even thousands of low-class Saiyans aliv
Ah, I see! So you imagine something like the scene from Star Wars Episode III (Shudders) with the whole "Execute Order 66", and then all the Saiyans were just shot in the back and erradicated. That's... entirely plausible.
But the wording in the story pretty much indicates that the act of ...

Re: My thoughts on Chibi Boo and SSjin 3 Goku's powers
I respect your opinion, and yes I've heard this argument many times... but I just don't like the argument at all. If Goku had believed he'd stay small like that even outside of Buu, don't you think he'd have been a little more distressed?

Hundreds, maybe even thousands of low-class Saiyans alive?
If Saiyan babies were sent off to weaker worlds, why wouldn't there be hundreds, possibly even thousands of low-class Saiyans still alive? I mean, the Saiyans were supposed to be very busy and prominent as Freeza's minions. Freeza had at least 79 planets under his control. Wait.. why does Freeza ...

Re: Toriyama memo about the saiyans, their homeland, etc
Freeza could have integrated Saiyan technology into his own empire. I mean, just because all the rest of Freeza's troops have scouters and super-elastic armor, doesn't mean that they didn't get them from the Saiyans.

Re: So, I Actually Kind of Like Broli
Wait, are you saying you found yourself sympathetic towards Broly, or are you saying you found Broly to be sympathetic? I'll have to assume it's the former. I mean, it's going to be hard to call someone like Broly sympathetic... maybe he's sympathetic to the Grim Reaper, and that's why he helps send ...

Re: Better GT Sub Boss: Ledgic/Redict or General Rilld/Lock?
General Rildo's death had me thinking "Why didn't they just do that in the beginning?"
Anyway, Rildo is definilty the better 'sub boss'. I mean... he basically won . Even though it was later revealed that them losing to him was all a ruse. Lame... while it lasted, his victory was intruiging.

Actually, does anyone want a guidebook to touch on this subject? This is one of the last areas of mystique in the Dragon Ball unvierse for us. Sure, many have given up on discussion of the matter, and even shun doing so.. but I'd like to think there's still a lot to talk about in reagrds to the ...

Re: I don't care if they use the term 'ningen'...
We 'ain't brothers. But I agree with you in saying that ningen could mean "motals" or "flesh and blood creatures of the mortal realm."

CatouttaHell , I'll be eagerly awaiting you to digest my super essay, since you also seem to be very interested in this matter. Who knows, maybe it'll help you refine your own reasonings or add new arguments to your case. If such is true, then I feel like I accomplished something nice.

Two different ways of looking at it.

Kid Buu > Super Buu [/u]
Overview : The essence of the Kaioshins dilute the power of Buu, thus the purer Buu is, the stronger Buu is.

Re: I don't care if they use the term 'ningen'...
In this one instance, yes, they used the term human. In the case of Ginyu and Vegeta, they didn't. Call it an inconsistent slipup. Again, I'm not any longer saying translating ningen as human is wrong. I'm saying it's just not approriate now.

What the translators did wrong other than opposing your beliefs?
Erm, but the translators haven't opposed my beliefs. One of my main arguing points was that you just don't see the word human thrown around like that in the official verisons.

Yes, in the sense that believing that Kid Buu > Super Buu is a 'religious' or spiritual belief, you most certainly can.CatouttaHell wrote:Wait so going by what you're saying, can I now claim religious persecution if someone belittles me for believing Chibi Boo >>> Shin Boo?
