English is not even my first or second language and I facepalm everytime I see these weird translations.

[FoolsGil]

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

[goku the krump dancer]

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:

Vegito said "No one in the universe can" should be an is instead of can

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."

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.

No plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force.

[Lukmendes]

"Ah yes, all of those insecurities we never talked about or hinted at, those insecurities".

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.

I just want to know why he left Piccolo alive.

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.

[Marco Polo]

Salagir was obviously being sarcastic when he said "I'm a troll"

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?

[coola]

Is that supposed to be some sort of crystalized zanzoken? Now thats something new...

[Saiga]

I think it's something she used against Ginyu-Cold.

[Lukmendes]

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



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:



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.

[Fionordequester]

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!
