Herms wrote:Alright, so I translated the volume and chapter titles for the first bootleg Kei posted up. Seemed like the perfect chance to put my still rather meager Chinese skills to a good (?) use.

Like Kei said earlier, this series consists of 15 volumes (7 chapters a volume), divided up into 3 story arcs. But in addition, there appears to be a fourth story arc continuing things, which has 3 volumes at the moment with the last 2 apparently still not complete. Despite being broken up into these sub-sections, the entire thing appears to be one big storyline, called the "Zero World" or "Jia Tai" story arc.

Going just off the chapter titles, this "Jia Tai" fellow (absolutely no clue what, if anything, this name is based on) is apparently the master of this "Zero World" place, and has his own "Armed Guard" that sounds a bit like the Ginyu Force. A lot of the other villains (Jia Tai's underlings, I'd assume) seem to have names like "Cindy" and "Sally", but I could be wrong. One of them has the same name in Chinese as the tokusatsu hero Gridman for God knows what reason.

I'll have to try actually reading the thing next to try and make sense of all this.

Anyway, here's the titles:
Thank you for the translation. That fourth story arc seems fan made and the art is beyond terrible.

From what I can understand, this site says that xin jiang ban is a sequel to xi zang ban. I wonder whether this is true. Xin jiang ban seems rarer and I can't find detailed information about it.

The last two volumes look neat.

Edit: I've found a picture of the actual content. Looks pretty decent!

This is great, how did you even come across this? I wonder how popular it was, popular enough to spawn it's own bootleg sequel potentially.

It certainly looks as if the artwork improves and even takes on it's own style at some points, I particularly like the designs, and the lack of over-the-top transformations and designs like modern fan manga. I wonder if they did include their own SSJ4...

Scans? Where did you find scans of this other than the random pictures kei put up?

I bought them from taobao.com by using a middleman service.

I've got all the xi zang ban volumes, but I still need to get the seven volumes of xin jiang ban.

This Chinese knock-off brings a very interesting, yet disturbing fact to light...

I often wondered why Yajirobe never entered the World Martial Arts Tournament to win against Hercule during the 24th Budokai, which just so happens to be the one where Goku, and the main cast of misfits did not partake in for some odd reason. (Probably due to the birth of Gohan in the manga.)

What did Yajirobe-Samma do during the 24th Budokai? I remember the character trying to win other Budokais, getting his ass handed to him, but still trying to win the money to get a year's worth of food. He even called the Z-Fighters his students, and proclaimed them as ''Earth's Special Forces''.

The 24th Budokai would have to have taken place before Radditz arrived, as it would have been 5 years since the last Tenkaichi when the second Saiyan set foot on Earth.

The mere fact that Hercule won this tourny tells me that Yajirobe's character was forgotten. But of course, for a reprise, he put his abilities as a glutton, and as a fighter to the test when he slice Vegeta's tail off. Now, if only he ate it as a consequence, it would have shown domination as the Alpha male. jk

Regardless, I am disappointed that we decided to shuffle away such a competitive character in favour of Gohan's birth, which seems to have stopped everybody's life during those 5 years of peace.

And now, we have 18 competing for money, there's no chance for the budgy little guy.
That time your teacher asked you to draw Cell in biology class.
This man is my hero:
To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

That's neat! Glad they did something like that. Kaioh did create the attack after all. So, it's nice to see him use it.

That's so awesome! I wish someone around here knows Chinese and we can scanlate it. Thanks for sharing this with us kei!
However, I wonder if you could make a higher quality scan. I'm not sure, but I think that the whole volumes aren't posted on the site.

I'm sure he wasn't talking seriously, it's just a possitive comment about the manga. Calma.

Those are a great piece of fan-history to own! They seem like they are pretty interesting!

For what it is, the art doesn't seem that bad at all! I would really like to see this get scanlated! :)
