It's not the worst line, but imho if I was the english translator, I would have asked permission to change it to 'Shit!'

Is it that big of a deal?
"Drats", "Fuck", "Dammit", "Crap"... in this context all serve the same purpose, so what difference does it make.

Because Drats just sounds really silly.

The reason the translations are so bad is because, despite everyone saying they're bad, no one actually volunteers to improve them

I wish it were that simple...

No, the reason they're so bad is because Salagir insists on his own way, rather than fully trusting the translators:

Meister Kleister wrote:FYI, based on some of the other translations, what Vegetto said in the last panel might better be translated to something like: "Even my little Bra can't reach a tenth of my level. No one in any universe can."
Salagir wrote:This error it my full choice (it may not be a good one, but it's on purpose and not the fault of the english translators ^^).

Here is the discussion that happened between me and my proodreaders:
(Context: He changes "can" to "is" and I say no.)
npberryhill:
This sentence is incomplete. No one in any universe can... can what? That's why I changed it to "is" previously. But I think it can be fixed by changing the previous sentence slightly so it's a direct response the way I think you want. "Even my little Bra can't come close to a tenth of my level." That would make the second sentence work fine I think.
Salagir:
The french version contains the same "error".
The 2 sentences don't fit perfectly with each others: Yes. It's talk. He doesn't prepare his text in advance... It doesn't need to be all calculated and perfectly fitting.
He modify his "argumentation" over time. First, he says she is not strong enough. Then, he adds that well, no one can be that strong enough anyway.
npberryhill:
Okay, cool. I agree we should strive to be as close to the original as possible. Well, if I can, let me suggest we add one word to the end of the second sentence then? "No one in any universe can be." It's small, I don't think it changes meaning, only fixes.
(I still refused, cause i'm a troll)

So, out of sheer pettiness he makes the translators keep it so, well, that?

That's what I got out if that.

Still, he WAS nice enough to take the blame off the translators themselves, so I wouldn't think TOO badly of him. Just... perhaps he's got one too many things in common with Zen Buu.

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.

Just like Majin Vegeta then
Vegeta's entire motivation as majin is insecurity about Goku being better than him, basicaly he just threw a very deadly tantrun, so that made sense with his character, what didn't make sense is his relationship with Bulma and him caring enough about her to have a change of heart, but at least we can assume something happened off screen, specialy since, while we see nothing of how he treats Bulma, he does treat Trunks just fine and is proud of him, so there's some merit to his change of heart since Trunks was part of it too, meanwhile, what Bra says, or other characters say about her just contradicts what was shown about her character.

So basicaly, while Majin Vegeta had very clear issues, it still made some sense with what we were shown, Bra is just a version of that which makes no sense since it contradicts what was shown.

Probably the same reason why he left U18 Bra alive, to use as motivation for Gohan later on if needed.
Also there should be potaras around the dead Kaioshin right?
If Gohan didn't vaporize their bodies when he killed Cold-Ginyu then yeah lol.

Someone needs to tell him that English simply doesn't work this way. Even if you wanted to "modify your argumentation" in a casual way, no fluent English speaker would end up with something like what Vegetto says there. If he's really doing it to be a troll, then why does he even bother sticking to a schedule and hiring skilled artists for the main story? My guess is that he just has a stubborn personality when criticized.

Seems likely, unfortunately. You can see how careful npberryhill was in saying "oh yeah, of course! Accuracy! Gotta have that accuracy!".

My issue is that the word is "drat," not "drats." No problem with the word choice here, just the consistently sloppy spelling.

He really can’t take criticism. Like pointing out all the issues with Bra and how she’s a Sue will gets you called a sexist by him and defend his character by talking about how everyone loved Vegeta when he was evil and he’s no different than Bra. Completely ignoring why this comparison doesn’t work even when people spells out the issue.

That’s and he’s a hypocrite who will dog the series, especially GT and Super, for doing something, and he then he turns around and does the same thing and claimed since his work is ‘fanfiction’, he’s for some reason immune from such criticism.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Was he? I mean, that's about the best reason we have as to why a person would veto his own translators. Unless, of course, he thinks he knows English better than the people he hired?

That's a move she used against Ginyu-Cold, as Saiga pointed out above:

Image

And it's not an after image, it's basicaly a type of clone that uses the exploding clones Gotenks can make as a basis, as Vegetto explained:

Image

Weird she used it and none of the clone's remains are in Gohan's arm like they were in Ginyu-Cold's though, maybe next page will correct this.

I dunno, Bra. If he's bleeding from the mouth already, he's kind of done, regardless.

Now, that Makankasappo. Is it gonna be the beam or the cage? You decide!
