Curious as to what is actually said on this page. Was talked about on another thread but I am still curious as to whether the English translation syncs up correctly.

I'd read "ううん" here as saying, "No", not "I suppose". His father's behavior freaked him out so badly that he's denying all knowledge.
Haha that'd be right, after all this time the difference between うん and ううん still confuses me occasionally.

Does anyone know what this page translates too. I saw it on a another site where someone was saying this as a proof for SSJ2 Gohans solar-system busting feat.

It has already been translated here:

http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... 1&p=612690
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.

Any chance someone would be willing to take a stab at this? I'd be kind of curious to know what's said, though I can make certain guesses just based on the context.

Can anyone who speaks Spanish translate this page, please? I saw it on another site and someone was claiming it said Super Saiyan Grade 3 was a 10x multiplier, which is pretty perplexing to me. I believe it's the bottom left passage under Trunks.

Roughly:

Trunks acquired a force ten times superior, but [his] movements are more limited.

Huh, so it really is saying Grade 3 is 10x stronger than Grade 2, or normal Super Saiyan at least.

Not exactly. Given all the context, he could be tens times stronger than he was before entering the Room of Spirit and Time.

Or it could just mean "a whole lot stronger." There's no need to take this kind of thing literally when it's most likely hyperbole.

It'd be a stretch to say it's not meant to be taken literally or just used as "a whole lot" when it explicitly says "ten times" just like how Vegeta describes Oozaru.

Not really. I see quotes all the time saying things like "I'm a dozen times stronger than you," or "I'm twice as fast as you are." That doesn't literally mean that they are that many times stronger/faster, only that they are by a great degree. It's hyperbole.

But this isn't a quote. This is a description of the strength Trunks has acquired, and it's very specific.

Except "10 times" doesn't always mean "10 times," as odd as that sounds. Quantifying something is often used as a way of making something sound important, even if the actual number isn't true, such as in the examples I provided above. The actual number isn't important, as long as it sounds impressive. Without knowing what this source is, it seems to me as an advertisement of the series trying to make it sound sensational in order to draw greater interest, not as some official guidebook that is created to provide information about the series. So in that case, saying "10 times more force (not strength)," sounds better than "he got a lot stronger." I see it more as a way of sounding cool, not a declaration of fact.

Plus, taking the info literally, it's just wrong. We all know that the Grade 3 multiplier isn't literally 10 times greater than either SSJ or Grade 2.
