Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball

Luffy only got a clean shot in at Crocodile because he took advantage of his hydrophobia. I don't understand what you mean. My point was that Crocodile had to train himself to become his element out of reflex when attacked, meaning that all other Logia users probably had to as well. In other words,...

Re: Dr Brief's daughter

Hm, yeah. It's a tricky one because it lacks the long "o" sound. That is, it's "korudo" instead of "kourudo" (aka, cold, the temperature), but how do you capture that in English? I usually just go with "Kold," but I guess "Colld" is also a possibili...

Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball

What is a Logia type? People like Smoker that turns to smoke when hit, or Eneru that turns into lightning? Anyone with the power to completely transform into an element, so yes, Smoker and Enel are examples. I'm not sure being fast enough to get a surprise attack in is a guaranteed victory, though,...

Re: "Great King Cold"?

i think the propper translation it's emperor cold Emperor Cold would be something like コルド皇帝 (Kurodo Koutei); If I remember correctly then 大 can also be translated as "Grand" (thus carrying over 大's connotations of greatness/bigness/significance ); e.g. Grand Realm-lord God (大界王神 Daikaiou...

Re: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 the best Dragon Ball video game?

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is in my opinion a rather faulty, clumsy and repetitious game that barely qualifies as a proper fighting game, with proper in my opinion being games such as Street Fighter, Tekken, Virtua Fighter et al. Super Dragon Ball Z takes some cues from the Tenkaichi series ...

Re: The All-Purpose "Translation Request" Thread

I'm working on a translation of the song "Moero! Dragon Soldiers", and am a little stick on some of the onomatopoeia or just phrases in the song that I can't find any meaning for. First, is "baranbaran", バランバラン. The closest thing that comes to mind is "barabara", as in...

Future Son Gohan (both arms; SSJ) vs Son Goku (Namek-saga; SSJ)

I thought this would make an interesting match since they both are said to be even in terms of power.

Re: The All-Purpose "Translation Request" Thread

It's sumo slang. When you have a sumo character, they're bound to say it. It's slang for "Thank-you". Though someone else will probably have to correct me and tell me there's another meaning for it. Thanks for the helpful information, Lord Eeyore Haw-Haw. Which means that it probably here...

Re: The All-Purpose "Translation Request" Thread

So after a thorough perusing of various Japanese Dragon Ball wikias I managed to find the names of Yajirobee's special attacks from "Sparking! Meteor" (Budokai Tenkaichi 3). I've attempted to translate them myself alas to no avail. It's the odd word "gottsuan (ごっつぁん)" that is pro...

Re: Ashy-kun's Song Translations

One thing I'd like to come back to, about this song, is come up with a better abbreviation for the "Oharaibako"/"O.B." that would work with the "Oriro, bakayarou". Perhaps something like "P.S." for "pink slip" and "Piss off, ya slacker!" P...

Re: Tenshinhan's English name change question

It is quiet odd though how they did not convert his entire name into Chinese instead of just the initial kanji i.e. Tiān​jīnfàn.

How is this even a fair battle? Galactus proceeds to transmute Son Goku, who doesn't even pack the fire-power yet alone strength to fight Galactus, into the shape of a carrot or he just outright atomizes him.

Re: DB characters as SF characters

Don't know if it's just me, but in Super Dragon Ball Z (made by Noritaka Funamizu of Street Fighter fame), the Dragon Ball cast seemed almost like counterparts to the Street Fighter cast: Piccolo (Jr/Daimaou) - Dhalsim; Piccolo has the same flailing limb moves as Dhalsim. Majin Vegeta - Gouki/Evil R...

Re: What if Roshi's Mafūba didn't miss?

As it has been mentioned in this thread, Piccolo Jr. would never have been created thus they would have no way of defeating Raditz once he arrived on Earth. Of cause with Piccolo Jr. missing, Raditz would have no way of knowing the existence of the Dragon Balls thus giving Nappa and Vegeta no reason...

It's a character from early GT, Lord Luud. I see alas I haven't been watching all that much Dragon Ball GT as of lately. Yeah I had no idea of who Luud was until I decided to watch through GT. He's relatively minor so I'm surprised they're including him in this. Perhaps for the surprise factor of f...
