That translation is pretty much spot-on - but just clarifying because it's kinda poorly worded, it's talking about technique as in move, specifically Yamcha's Soukidan.

It's a description of the plot of Z movie 8, up to the point where Paragus tells them about this mysterious "Legendary Super Saiyan" who's been laying waste to the South Galaxy. Apparently it possesses the power to destroy New Vegeta... which I assume is what you're getting at? (Wasn't this mentioned in the movie proper?)

Thank you very much. I know what was said in the movie, just wanted to know this too was said in guidebooks to support these informations. this confirms my suspicion that broly not destroyed a galaxy in a one-shooter more over time (days). how much less speculation better to understanding of the facts.

The title reads "The spite of the universe pierces Freeza," or something to that effect. The phrase "urami" could mean anger, rage, wrath, hatred, or something else similar too.

So, about Gotenks. Herms said before that this is what it says:
Herms wrote:The middle scan is from the SEG: Story Guide, and describes Fusion as giving birth to a warrior that has multiplied the two's power together.
So wait... does this really say that Gotenks' BP is equal to Goten's & Trunks' BPs multiplied? :shock: What is the exact statement?

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.

Well, well well...
I must say it's very surprising, that no one here picked up on that until now, when most of the translation requests are strength related(I think). :P

The irony in that is if Vegetto is Goku x Vegeta and Gotenks is now Goten x Trunks, then Gogeta is Goku x Vegeta too...and both fusions are the pretty much the exact same strength (maybe a bit of a difference for having to match powers exactly). Which most people in the battle power discussion community seem to think isn't true. xD

That's true.
If it really says that, it looks I got to stop hating on Gogeta so much :wink:

Is it talking about battle power units in particular?

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Any kind of units the Fusion technique uses. It's obvious from the series that it's not BPxBP, so I'm wondering if the guidebook is talking about BP and is wrong or is not talking about BP and doesn't contradict anything.

If it really says that Fusion is AxB, then I really doubt they had anything other than battle powers in their mind.

And how is it obvious in the manga that it doesn't work as BPxBP?

It just says "power" (力). Anyway, the full line is:
A merging technique that’s possible when power and physique are close, if successful then a super warrior that has multiplied the two peoples' power is born.
For the record, the word for "multiply" here is kake-awaseru[/u], while the word for "multiplication" in the Vegetto thing was kakezan. Though "multiply" is the primary meaning, kake-awaseru does have a secondary meaning of "crossbreed/hybridize" (you can even use it to describe crossbreeding pigs and boars), while near as I can tell kakezan only means "multiplication".
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

Thanks Herms.
As I said earlier it really is amusing, that no one here brought your original summation of this part to the attention of this community given the high amount of strength related translations request.
I'm sure this will be interpreted in numerous different ways just like the one about Vegetto/Potara.
