At last, the Saiyan arc.
Glad to see the adoption of "Saiyano" and "Namekiano".
I'm also glad they're using that translation for those terms. I've never really liked seeing "Saiyan" used in languages other than English, since it's a translation that only works in that language.
Precisely why I chose to adapt it

I have to say all your translation choices are super great and I am so envious. I also would love it if you got hired for a redub of the franchise or at least a dub of Kai/Super Beerus/A new reanimated Dragon Ball.

Forgot to post about this, now that the Ginyu Force made its debut.
@jrdemr Any insight into how you approached the names? I'm a bit surprised with R'cme, since it doesn't roll off the tongue that well.

I'm a translator myself so I know a thing or two about having to make a few sacrifices. By the way, 88 Films just released The Haunted Cop Shop. Buy it on BluRay today! (Cheap plug) But does your publisher have a set of rules like formatting and set amount of text or any of that sort? Cuz 88 Films has me following the Netflix subtitling format. And I have to keep things Brit, so to speak.
The world is your's.
