This sort of thing really doesn't motivate me to do you any favors.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Any kind soul that would translate the page I posted please?
I'm also annoyed at people posting up seemingly random manga panels/pages and asking for translations without any explanation of why they want them translated.
I'm going to go over those Boo images, but this will be the last strength-related translation request I take, either in this thread or in PMs or anything. I probably won't respond to any of the other translation requests in this thread either, but there's at least a slight chance I will if it's something I find interesting.
Anyway, here's the Boo stuff:
Describes the pure Boo as “powered up” (in comparison to what form isn’t specified). From DB Forever, a manga guidebook.
Says Goku has “The highest respect towards the strongest enemy!” From DB Forever.
Says Vegetto won’t let “the mightiest majin” lay a finger on him. From DB Forever.
Says Boo was weakened by having his absorptions undone. From DB Forever.
Says Goku is excited about a battle with the existence of the entire universe on the line, and that the pure Boo comes to the Kaioshin Realm seeking strong opponents. From DB Forever.
Says Boo absorbed the South Kaioshin’s power and physique, evolving a powerful body, though it’s not clear how this changed his personality. From DBZ Son Goku Densetsu, an anime guidebook.
Says Gohan-absorbed Boo is so powerful that on his own Goku is no match even as a Super Saiyan 3. From DBZ Son Goku Densetsu.
Says Boo became calmer and easier to control after absorbing Dai-Kaioshin. He loves to eat and has childlike innocence, but becomes unstoppable when angry. From DBZ Son Goku Densetsu.
Says Ultimate Gohan is stronger than Super Saiyan 2. From the third TV Animation daizenshuu.
Refers to Super Saiyan 3 as “the Super Saiyan that can appropriately be called strongest”. From the third TV Animation daizenshuu.
Says that Gohan-absorbed Boo’s strength is such that he can appropriately be called “the mightiest majin”. He’s powered up even more than he was with Gotenks, without any time limit before he powers down, and combines Gotenks’ techniques, Piccolo’s brains, and Gohan’s power. From the website of one of the 3D fighting games (the Sparking!/Budokai Tenkaichi series, I think).
Refers to Gohan as having “fantastic power surpassing even Super Saiyan 3” following the Elder Kaioshin’s power-up. From (I think) DB Ultimate Battle Collection Round 02, an anime guidebook.
The last portion of Toriyama’s interview in Daizenshuu 2, a manga guidebook. I have no clue what part of this was considered relevant to the Boo strength debate. Gohan as an unsuitable main character? It being unfair for everyone to team up against Boo? Fortunately I already translated the whole thing for Kanzentai:
Q: And then the Cell arc ended. Did you think that everyone felt you would put Gohan into the leading role?
A: I intended to put Gohan into the leading role. It didn't work out. I felt that compared to Goku, he was ultimately not suited for the part.
Q: Incidentally, who is your favorite character?
A: Yeah, I guess I like Piccolo the most after all. Out of all the enemies, Piccolo Daimao is the one I like most, and even after that I like Piccolo the most. I like Piccolo about the same as I like Goku. With Vegeta, well, I don't like him all that much, but he was extremely helpful to have around. For the recent stuff, it was fun drawing Satan. When I first brought him out, I didn't think that I would end up making Satan that important of a character. I thought he'd just be a one-shot character.
Satan is like that, but thinking up worthless gags is more enjoyable than doing the fight scenes. (laughs)
Q: That all really took off with Gotenks. There are legends that at the time your editor Takeda-san saw the storyboards in the editing department, and would crack up at it every week. (laughs)
A: I suppose I am a gag-manga artist after all. (laughs)
But then after all, I'm always thinking of how there are a lot of guys on our side, but only one enemy. If you think about it, isn't it unfair? (laughs) They can just gang up on him. (laughs)
Q: So it's like Goku's line at the end of the battle with Majin Buu.
A: That's right. He said "You did well all on your own". I suppose that Goku's motive was that no matter what kind of enemy there was, he wanted to fight them one-on-one.
Looking over the entire work, Goku always wished for that. Today has been a very valuable conversation, so thank you very much.

Describes the pure Boo as having the smallest and most childlike body out of all the Boos, but also the “most formidable power and ability”. From (I think) DB Ultimate Battle Collection Round 02.
