I doubt AT would draw Evil Boo with 5 fingers.

You never know. It is AT we're talking about. He could have just forgot or changed it before actually drawing him in the manga. This is probably just an early design reference for the anime staff because it looks like he is definitely drawn by AT or his assistant.

[Saiga]

To me it looks like the reference sheet is how Boo would work with fingers, so it wouldn't surprise me if Toriyama drew that for the anime staff so that they could use fingers for Boo as they wanted to.

Actually there is a reason why the animation team change the number of finger. In Japan they can be fined for it because of an old practice of cutting the finger of a person.

Who are you replying to? None of the above posters seem to be unaware of the fingers thing.

It is a general reply to the topic explaining a reason for the 5 fingers.
@Fox has just made a good point. It does look exactly like an AT sketch so he was probably showing them how to draw him with 5 fingers.


Anyway where are the translators like Rach etc? D:

The Actually kinda implies that he was disagreeing with someone. Or I guess I'm just reading too much into it.

I think 'Actually' implies that he just remembered a reason why the animation team would draw Evil Boo with 5 fingers.
Maybe the phrase 'Come to think of it' would have worked better instead of 'Actually'

[Lord Eeyore Haw-Haw]

Maybe some of us aren't translating it because we can't quite make out all the writing. It's pretty small in those scans.

Yeah yeah, my English not good.

I didn't mean it like that

@Lord, well, the text doesn't seem that small. Zooming in doesn't seem to blur it that much either. Also the scans I posted from the old video game manual on the previous page weren't translated even though you can zoom the text right in to it's original size and the text is massive.

I've been really busy lately and haven't had a chance to look through this thread in a while.

[Piccolo Daimao]

Please could translate to English the page where during his fight with Recoom and before he gets his neck broken, Gohan says something like, "I'm the son...of Son Gokuu...the warrior...I won't let you beat me!"

Also, I've noticed that there are a whole load of translation requests that have gone by without anyone fulfilling them, and I know that no-one's required to do so or anything. But there seem to be so many of them lost to time over the multiple pages that perhaps they need to be organized, maybe in the opening post or something.

[Lord Eeyore Haw-Haw]

In answer to Piccolo Daimao, I've gone back to a couple of instances where if I'd had access to the forums at the time, I actually would have done some of the requests.

Could someone translate for me this page? It comes from "The Brief Return of Dr. Slump".

Trunks: Gokuu-san, Dragon Radar ni hannou wa demashita ka?
Giru: Gi-ru-ru-ru-ruuuu...
Gokuu: Iya, denee n'da. Okkashii naaa... Kono hoshi ni wa nee no ka na?

Pan: Nee, ojii-chan, atashi omou n'dakedo Chikyuu ni modocchatta ni you na ki ga shinai?
Gokuu: Ee? Sonna hazu wa nee to omou zo...

GAN-!
Gokuu: ... to!

Robot 1: Na... Nani wo kaite'ru n'su ka?! Kore wa "Dr. Slump" nan'su yo!
Robot 2 (Yamada?): Iya, sono... Moshikashite kodomo(?) ga yorokonde kureru ka naaaa...? Nante...?

Robot 1: Kanben shite kudasai yo! Sore de nakute mo itsumo osoi n'su kara!
Robot 1: Fuzakete'ru [can't make out] ssu ka?
Robot 2: Gomen nasai, ta-ta[something... I can't make this out either]-san.

Narration: Shitsurei itashimashita... Aratamete "Dr. Slump" wo otanoshimi kudasai.

Arale: Osoi ne, Yamada-san...
???? (Forgive me, I'm not up on my Dr. Slump): Pipokupipo...

- - - - -

Trunks: Mr. Gokuu, sir, have any readings come up on the Dragon Radar?
Giru: Gi-rr-rr-rr-rrrrrrrr...
Gokuu: Nah, ain't nuffin' there. That's so weiiiird... Could it be there ain't none on this planet?

Pan: Hey, Grampa, this could just be me thinking, but you don't think we could have gone and come all the way back to Earth?
Gokuu: Huuuh?! Summin' like that shun't be the case, I don't re-...

WHAM-!
Gokuu: -...ckon!

Robot 1: Ju-... Just what is it yer writing?! This sure ain't "Dr. Slump"!
Robot 2 (Yamada?): Well, no, I mean, that is... Perhaps the kids(?) will be happy enough with this, maybe...? ... Or something...

Robot 1: Well, please, excuse me! But, it's just whenever I don't do this, you're always so late!
Robot 1: You just screwing with me, [whatever he says]?
Robot 2: I'm so sorry, [whatever he says], sir...

Narration: We do beg your pardon... Please look forward to "Dr. Slump" once more.

Arale: You're real late, Mr. Yamada...
[Again, don't know my Dr. Slump]: Pipokupipo...

- - - -

All in all, without knowing the complete context, I'd say what's going on is that this Yamada is supposed to be in charge of a new Dr. Slump, but is instead doing stuff for GT, and his supervisor is therefore chewing him out, because he seems to get distracted and is always late with stuff.

Could some translate these for me? I'm mainly interested in Kaio's 10x gravity and Freeza's planet busting statements. Thank you.

Kaiou: Yoooshi... Kakatte kite miro. Omae ga dore hodo no ude ka miteyarou...
Gokuu: So-... Sore ga saa okashii n'da. Koko ja yake ni ugoki nikukute karada omoi n'da...

Kaiou: Omae doko kara kita Chikyuu ka?
Gokuu: U-... Un...

Kaiou: Ja, omoi darou na... Koko wa chiisana hoshi daga sugoi juuryoku de na. Omae no hoshi yori juubai gurai aru ka na. Dakara omae no taijuu mo juubai ni naru!

King of the Realms: Alllllright, then... See if you can come and get me. Let's see how far your skills reach...
Gokuu: We-... Well, that's the weird thing 'bout it... Here, it's awful hard ta move, and m' body's all heavy...

King of the Realms: Where was it you came from, again? Earth?
Gokuu: Y-... Yeah...

King of the Realms: Ahh, well, then, it would be heavy, wouldn't it? While this is a small planet, it has tremendous gravity. I'd reckon it has about tenfold the amount of your planet's gravity. Therefore, your body weight becomes tenfold, too!

Freeza: Ni...

Freeza: Anna tokoro ni mo mada hae ga nigezu ni ita to wa...
Freeza: Fufufu... Mattaku hito wo iraira saseru no ga umai yatsu-ra da...

Freeza: MOU KOKOMADE DA!!! KONO HOSHI MOROTOMO KISAMA-RA WO GOMI NI SHITEYARUUUUUUU!!!!

- - - - -

Freeza: Hnnnnn...

Freeza: To think those little flies didn't run away, and were just over there, in one spot like that...
Freeza: Uh-hn-hn-hn! These people really are the type of fellows that get me gnashing my teeth/that really make me get wound up...

Freeza: THIS IS AS FAR AS IT GOES!!! I'M GONNA WASTE YOU LITTLE WRETCHES, ALONGSIDE THIS DAMN PLANEEEEEEEET!!!!

Thanks a lot, Lord Eeyore Haw-Haw!

[Again, don't know my Dr. Slump]: Pipokupipo...

It's name is Gatchan.

All in all, without knowing the complete context, I'd say what's going on is that this Yamada is supposed to be in charge of a new Dr. Slump, but is instead doing stuff for GT, and his supervisor is therefore chewing him out, because he seems to get distracted and is always late with stuff.

That's a page from a full chapter, and there is a character in Dr. Slump who's name is Yamada. So, I think that the panel with Arale is unrelated with the previous ones.

[Super Vegetto]

Anyone know this manga or where to find english version ?



Can anyone translate this :

[Lord Eeyore Haw-Haw]

Uhh... Anyone know Chinese, for the first and last one? The first of which is a doujinshi, I believe?

[Shoryuken]

So after a thorough perusing of various Japanese Dragon Ball wikias I managed to find the names of Yajirobee's special attacks from "Sparking! Meteor" (Budokai Tenkaichi 3). I've attempted to translate them myself alas to no avail. It's the odd word "gottsuan (ごっつぁん)" that is proving to be the biggest head-scratcher.

Anyhow here are his 3 special attacks from "Sparking! Meteor" (along with my translations):
Issen Gottsuan Giri (一閃ごっつぁん斬り Glinting/Brandishing Gottsuan Cut)
Gottsuan Iaigiri (ごっつぁん居合い斬り Gottsuan Fast-Draw Cut)
Miracle Gottsuan Slash (ミラクルごっつぁんスラッシュ)

The only word that I've been able to find that even comes remotely close to gottsuan is gottsui (ごっつい) meaning hard/rough.

Could anyone help me unravel the meaning of this puzzling word?

[Lord Eeyore Haw-Haw]

It's sumo slang. When you have a sumo character, they're bound to say it. It's slang for "Thank-you". Though someone else will probably have to correct me and tell me there's another meaning for it.

Thanks for the helpful information, Lord Eeyore Haw-Haw. Which means that it probably here functions as a double pun referencing his voracious nature and him thanking for a feast a la when he killed and ate Cymbal.
