The All-Purpose "Translation Request" Thread

[soulnova]

Tullece seems very similar to Barduck, maybe they're brothers? --- Now that is something I can get behind.

Yeah, most fics I have found he's regarded as Bardock's (more twisted/evil) twin. xD

[Herms]

Bringing away from Vegetto for a little bit, twas wondering if someone could translate the dialogue in this pic I found.

Voice: Even if there's a dinosaur within the melted ice
Gohan: That dinosaur is dead. [writing off to the side of his speech bubble says "a frozen reptile"]
Kuririn: Yeah...

They're obviously referencing the lyrics to Chala Head-chala with that first line, but it's not worded quite the same way as in the song (which goes "if there's a dinosaur" rather than "even if").

Thanks!

Should I just post small tidbits? Are whole pages a taboo kind of thing? Just wondering.

People have posted both, so go for it. Though, it's advised you state why you want whatever you want translated, for context's sake.

Yeah, I did that, though none have come forward with translations. I thought I did something wrong by posting whole pages. I'm sure there's a reason for it, though. No big.

It would be so awesome if there was a translation of all the Dragon Books. Not telling anyone here to undertake that lol I'm just saying I would at least think that somewhere online that would exist. Doesn't seem to.

[Herms]

So Fox666 posted this screenshot from the now defunct Toei website for the DB/Z movies. It's a page from the site's "Movie Dragon Ball History" section, and deals with DBZ movie 13. The first paragraph details how the movie explains the origins of Trunks' sword, the second paragraph talks about how Hildegarn is strong but only the second strongest movie villain after Janenba, and the third explains Hildegarn's name pun. Predictably, someone requested that I translate the second paragraph, so here goes:

The phantom majin Hildegarn is a formidable opponent capable of trading blows evenly with even Super Saiyan 3 Goku, but since Janenba from the previous work "The Rebirth of Fusion!! Goku and Vegeta" could beat back Super Saiyan 3 Goku, strength-wise this makes him No.2 out of the movie series enemies.

OK, I guess that's more of a run-on sentence than a paragraph, but whatever. And I can't figure out a way of wording it that doesn't make it seem ambiguous whether "that makes him No.2" refers to Hildegarn or Janenba, but it is supposed to refer to Hildegarn. At any rate you can still see from the descriptions of the two what they're going for: Hildegarn fights evenly with SSj3 Goku while Janenba kicked his ass. Among other things, this assumes that SSj3 Goku is still as strong in DBZ movie 13 as he was in 12, maybe a stretch considering half the point of the movie is that Goku has this awesome new attack. The idea that Hildegarn was even with Goku is perhaps also questionable. Well, whatever.

Is there anything interesting about Vegetto or Gogeta in these pages...?

No, not really.

I still want to know how that could/would have happened in the timeline of the Trunks who has that sword.

Is there anything useful/interesting about Gogeta, Vegeta, or Goku on these pages?

Hey, I wanted to know a bit about Bills so I rounded up a few scans on him. Somebody said I could ask you to translate Herms so I hope your OK with translating what is being said in a few scans about Bills and Whiss. One thing I was told is that Bills can destroy an entire galaxy, do any of these confirm that?

All of those scans have already been gone over here at Kanzenshuu, either by me or Julian. Look through the Kanzenshuu news archives for them. Nothing has been said so specific as Bilus being able to destroy an entire galaxy; there's just been vague hype about him being the strongest being in the history of Z.

I think this would be from Perfect Files Vol. 2, which says Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta is "tens of times" more powerfull than a Super Saiyan 4.

Thanks. I knew that part already. I was wondering if there was anything besides that, sorry.

Bills being able to destroy an entire galaxy comes from Piccolo's comment in the second trailer for the film.

Whoa. Jeff Jarrett. I thought Sting fired you.

But, yeah, I'm gonna second Herms' little suggestion about perhaps stating exactly why certain people want these things translated, since it helps give a reason for why we should do it. I mean, I'm seeing a lot of these "Someone translate this about Vegetto" or something else, and it tends to make me think straight away that someone just wants an argument for a "Z'OMG, Power Levels" thing. I might just be coming off cynical here, but I can't help but notice this rise in interest about Vegetto's power after the Death Battle thing...

I'd like to think anyone and everyone who's been a hardcore DB fan would like to know about something that was probably supposed to be known before but never was until now. Vegetto being said to have powers surpassing that of SSJ4 is something that was pretty much unthought of to even be considered in official supplementary material. I can see why anyone would be interested in it, and if it's really a true statement said in the guidebooks or whatever.

[JeffJarrett]

I think they said Vegetto is stronger than Super Saiyan 4 (Goku), to show how powerful the Potara Fusion (and fusion in general) was compared to regular transformations. Also, Vegetto is the combination of the two most powerful Saiyans in the DB history and the two who fought during the Baby Saga, Goku (the Super Saiyan 4) and Vegeta (the one infected by Baby). Also, the anime comics was released right after the Baby Saga, before Gegeta's appearance in GT (and before Vegeta becomes a Super Saiyan 4 of course).

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Could anyone translate the two extra pages from Episode of Bardock? I'd like to know what they way & what's going on.
