The All-Purpose "Translation Request" Thread

[SaiyaJedi]

Wait, so it's a different thing from Dragon Ball Heroes: Rookie Charisma Mission - Episode 0?!

It's a sequel.

I'll give it one more chapter before I force myself to start cataloguing it.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Could someone translate these pages? They weren't exactly adapted to the anime, so I'm curious about what they say.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

... At least describe what is going on? Do the Plantians just thank Bardock? What does Bardock says to them? What does is he saying when he remembers his team? What does the narrator say in all these points?

[gojirason]

Hey, bit of an odd request...
I was going through the Daizenshuu 7 Human Racial Dictionary in both the raw (though not a hard copy) and the translated version, and I came across something I kind of want confirmation on.
Page 110, Majin Buu entry. For those without a hard copy (and what I was essentially forced to use)

Spoiler:

This is how it was translated it in the past:

He killed the North and West Kaioshin, absorbed the South Kaioshin, and then when he took in the gentle heart of the Dai Kaioshin, his ferociousness and power were somewhat weakened.

But that doesn't quite match up with my (admittedly limited but growing) knowledge of Japanese. Unless there's something I'm not understanding about it the use of "さらに - sarani", shouldn't it mean along the lines of "he was weakened further"? My understanding of "さらに" is, well to use another person's words:

さらに really has a feeling of "even more so" or "more and more," "furthermore," etc., such as 「さらにもう一度」 (yet once more), 「さらに一歩踏み出す」 (take another step forward), 「さらに多くの人を雇う」 (hire still more people), 「さらによくする」 (make <something> even better), ｢悲劇的な事故が、家族をさらに結束させた。｣ (The tragic accident bound the family closer together.)
It really has a sense of building on something that happened previously and making it even more so, or that the degree of something is increasing.

Basically, it should be building on the previous subject "even more so" and the verb in the sentence is "to weaken" so shouldn't/couldn't it be that "Dai Kaioshin's mild heart weakned his power and heinous behavior even further", or something along those lines?

Doesn't it also sort of imply that "[He] absorbed South Kaioshin" and (paraphrased) "His power and heinous behavior was weakened by Dai Kaioshin's mild heart" have similar implications? I would imagine if the implication suddenly changed the conjunction used would be something like "でも - demo" wouldn't it?

Also, "and then when he" is also paraphrased and not actually part of the original sentence as far as I can tell?

(I assume the kanji before "weaken" is the "somewhat" from the original translation, but it's not clear enough for me to make it out so I didn't include it in my paraphrasing.)

Some confirmation or explanation of why I'm wrong would be greatly appreciated. If it's not too much trouble, could someone also confirm whether Chozenshu says the exact same thing or not? I imagine it does.

But that doesn't quite match up with my (admittedly limited but growing) knowledge of Japanese. Unless there's something I'm not understanding about it the use of "さらに - sarani", shouldn't it mean along the lines of "he was weakened further"?

さらに is being used as a conjunction there: "Boo did X, Y, and furthermore he did Z", with X being killing the North and West Kaioshins, Y being absorbing the South Kaioshin, and Z being absorbing the Dai-Kaioshin's gentle heart and his power/viciousness weakening. If さらに were being used to modify 弱まった, then it'd be there by it: さらに若干弱まった

If it's not too much trouble, could someone also confirm whether Chozenshu says the exact same thing or not? I imagine it does.

Yeah, Chouzenshuu 4 says the same thing.

Thank you very much.

Still no literal translation for this? I need help for a scanlation...

What does Vegetto say here in the upper right corner? Thanks

[Adamant]

What does Vegetto say here in the upper right corner? Thanks

Rough-ish:
"What truly matters is comprehending the strength and movement of ki. You're unable to keep up with my movements because you use your eyes to follow me, you dumb shit."

[TheDevilsCorpse]

It's already in Herms' Strength Checker:

Chapter: 504 (DBZ 310), P13.1
Context: Boo surrounds himself in smoke, but Vegetto can still beat up on him anyway
Vegetto: “The important thing is to grasp ki strength and movement. You track me with your eyes, so you can’t follow my movements.”

DBAF4’s Continuation, Rough Draft

Plantian: “Wait, King Vegeta! Harming the Tsufru race is supposed to be forbidden!!
King Vegeta: “That agreement’s 200 years old…It’s no longer valid.”
King Tsufru: “Damn it! That’s why I said coexisting with the Saiyans was impossible!”
Plantian: “But…There’s the legend of the golden warrior calling himself a ‘Saiyan’, who appeared and protected the Plantians when Planet Plant was on the verge of destruction! That’s why…that’s why we accepted the Saiyan migration 200 years ago…!!”
King Vegeta: “Saiyans all have black hair. Too bad! You’ve got us mixed up with someone else.”

[macho_man]

Awesome! Really really many thanks! I ask you more than a lot if I get translated by you also this sketch from toyble? Battle Of Gods, Whis, Birus and Luud...

[Super Vegetto]

Piccolo says ?

[Gyt Kaliba]

Piccolo says ?

I'm no official translator (I can't even read kanji to begin with anyway), but if I remember the scene correctly enough in the anime, it's pretty much just along the vein of "T-This...is Gohan? No way...he's changed..."

[Kaboom]

I don't have scans to post or anything, obviously, but I was hoping that someone with access to Battle of Gods who knows Japanese could lay out the specifics of two lines from the movie. Both are from Goku's rematch with Beerus:

1) When Goku has first achieved Super Saiyan God (I believe it's after his first little warmup round with Beerus), there's a stand-out line where Goku says that his new power is unbelievable, or he never knew there was power like this, or that he couldn't have reached it on his own... I don't know if different translations are all saying different things, or if there's actually two parts to the line, or what.

2) Piccolo's remark about Goku and Beerus fighting, where he says that it's almost as if Goku's receiving training from Beerus. Somebody has claimed he says something different in the extended cut. Is this true, or is it the fault of whatever subtitles they're watching?

Now, I don't speak Japanese, but I watched the side by side and there was nothing extended in Piccolo's dialogue in that particular scene, so maybe he says something later...

According to Herms, this is what he says:

For example, I've checked various fan subs, and I usually see God Goku saying that he couldn't reach that realm on his own, not that he never knew that there was a realm like this.

He says both of those things back-to-back. The first bit's this:

こんな世界があったなんてよ
kon'na sekai ga atta nante yo

Which is a bit hard to translate literally, but he's expressing surprise that there could be a "world" like this (ie like Super Saiyan God). Then he says that it's a "world" he couldn't reach on his own.

Recent Toriyama Tidbits about Boo:

Julian and Jake recently translated one passage about Boo to say he existed "since time immemorial."

Now, in the US that phrase is most often used in our legal system as the modern equivalent to "time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." Basically, standing for the proposition that because something has been a long held tradition or practice, when said action is challenged, that action should have the force of law or at least legal protection unless it violates other constitutional guarantees. In other words, it implies order before order was recorded.

Long story short, is there some legal implication that we are supposed to glean from this meaning; that the universe (even with Boo) has always been ordered ????

OR

Am I reading way too into the translation; and it has no legal undertones, and simply has the more lofty literary meaning (which is really a more literal translation for all intents and purposes) to mean "something so old it extends beyond memory or record"?

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Could someone translate these pages? They weren't exactly adapted to the anime, so I'm curious about what they say.

Could someone at least tell me what is said in the panel with Bardock's team?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

With the new Majin Buu Arc information today, it reminded me that Heroes named one of the Daizenshu's techniques for Babidi beyond just a description. So I'm curious what the first half of the name means, as the latter half is obvious...

ビリビリの魔術
Biribiri no Majutsu
????? Sorcery

Also to stick with the ???? no Majutsu theme, what's a good roundabout way of saying telepathy...without saying telepathy? Maybe something like "thought transfer" or "mind connection"?
