"Ox" is a fine translation of Gyū and "King" is a fine translation of "ō", but it leaves out the "ma" that means demon.ekrolo2 wrote:Is Ox-King really a good translation of Gyūmaō or?

It's interesting that Viz threw the word "chi" in there when they could have gotten away with using just the more general term "readings".Adamant wrote:"Take a look at Point 882901...!!

Uh, yeah, crap. I fucked up the translation there. The last line should be "There is also one more response approaching that point..."Tyro wrote:If I could ask another question about this passage: Does the last sentence give any indication that the third point was moving towards the other two, or does it just give a relative location? If it's the latter, I just think it's kind of funny that Viz would go out of their way to really spell it out for the reader.

Right, I agree, I just thought it worth noting that they decided to throw it in at all. But don't Freeza and his men just use "battle power"? Maybe saying "ki" would be out of place for his character.Adamant wrote:"Readings" is a fine translation too.Tyro wrote: It's interesting that Viz threw the word "chi" in there when they could have gotten away with using just the more general term "readings".
Thanks. Glad to know the little details are right.Adamant wrote:Uh, yeah, crap. I fucked up the translation there. The last line should be "There is also one more response approaching that point..."
They do, so that's some Viz writer trying to add a bit extra detail and not paying attention to what words he should and shouldn't use.Tyro wrote: Right, I agree, I just thought it worth noting that they decided to throw it in at all.

Thank you. It would seem Toriyama's quote does contradict what Vegeta says. I guess it could just be chalked up to Vegeta being mistaken...Ajay wrote:純粋なサイヤ人は 頭髪が 生後から不気味に変化したりはしない···Teen GohanZ wrote:Can someone confirm if he used that same explanation in Japanese, or if he actually said it doesn't change at all?

"A pure Saiyan's hair stays the same as after we're born, and does not go through any weird changes".
Viz went with:
"Pure-blooded Saiyans have thankfully been spared the grotesquery of "hair growth".

If you can read other languages, maybe someone can point you to a satisfactory non-English release. I think I've heard the French or Spanish kanzenban are pretty good.

It appears that Broly's restrained Super Saiyan form is actually "Type-A", not "Type-C".Herms wrote:Speaking of the daizenshuu, this brings up the minor controversy of whether the term “Legendary Super Saiyan” refers to Broli as a whole or to his specific ultra-beefy form. The simple version is that Daizenshuu 6 and 7 use “Legendary Super Saiyan” as a name for his unique transformation, and this has been adopted in the modern fighting games, while DBZ movie 8 has people use the phrase to refer to Broli in general. However, the truth is a bit more complicated, and in fact both the movie and the guidebooks use the term in both ways. Sort of. In DBZ movie 8, after Broli breaks Paragus’ restraining device, transforms into his incredibly muscular form, and starts beating that tar out of everyone, Paragus tells Vegeta “now that Broli has gotten out of my control, and become the Legendary Saiyan, my plan to rule all the universe together with Broli-everything has come to an end.” OK, so he says “Legendary Saiyan” and not “Legendary Super Saiyan”, but I think this must either be a goof or just them trying to vary the terminology a little after having tossed around the phrase “Legendary Super Saiyan” a million times by this point. Anyway, Paragus says that Broli has only now become the Legendary (Super) Saiyan after breaking free from his restraints, making it sound more like something Broli can turn into rather than something he fully is at all times. On the flipside, while Daizenshuu 6 and 7 use “Legendary Super Saiyan” as a name for that particular form, they also refer to Broli in general as the “Legendary Super Saiyan” as well. Broli’s Daizenshuu 7 bio, for instance, begins by calling him the Legendary Super Saiyan, while also having pictures of Broli’s various forms, labeled as “normal”, “Super Saiyan”, and “Legendary Super Saiyan”. It’s also worth noting that Daizenshuu 6’s animation model gallery labels Broli’s huge form as “Super Saiyan Grade Two”, in contrast to his blue-haired “Super Saiyan Grade One” form (this naming scheme mirrors guidebook name for Super Vegeta’s ultra-buff form). Meanwhile, the third TV animation daizenshuu’s Super Saiyan chart labels Broli’s huge form as Type-B, with Type-A being his blue-haired form, and Type-C being his gold-haired skinny form seen in DBZ movie 10.

Can anyone verify if this is actually a thing?
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.
