DBZ portion of Manga to be in full color?!

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Yep. The Full Color Edition is far better than the black & white.

[dbzfan7]

So do these comics cover the entire manga? Are they shortened versions? Did i waste my money on the Vizbigs?

It covers the entire manga, but Cell & Boo arcs are not released yet.

From what I hear, the Viz translation is the same old one, and the only censorship in the art is only on Mr. Popo's lips, I think. But others should know more, since I don't own them.

Well i'm not sure how much violence was censored on the vizbigs or if any of it was. The only uncensorship i'm talking about is mainly in the translation. I don't care about nudity or middle fingers.

There's a good chance it'll be exactly like what's shown on the US Jump and on the Mangapolo English videos, so yeah, unless there's a sudden twist, you're right: Viz translation + no censorship except for Popo's lips to avoid racism accusations.

We'll have confirmation of this whevever a chapter will come up with someone giving the finger or nudity (but I don't think there's any nudity to censor in the Z part of the manga).
The language should be exactly what it was in the updated Viz translation, so anyone who has some volume of the manga should be able to answer you about that.

As a an exclusive bonus asset, the US version will have the size of a comic, which makes it even bigger than Vizbigs, fully colorized and likely 99% uncensored (again, only exception: Popo's lips, but the violence should be 100% there).
So yeah, if those info remain correct once it's released, I can only advice American fans to buy it without thinking twice! Vizbigs have lost this battle.

So are we getting an uncensored translation? From what I know the violence is the same in the vizbigs. I don't think the vizbig censored any violence. The only interesting thing to me here is the possible uncensored dialogue and color. I don't really care about nudity, middle fingers, and all that.

Well, it seems the translation will remain exactly the same, word for word.
So if it was uncensored in the Vizbigs, it should be uncensored in the Full Color Manga as well. And if it was censored in the Vizbigs, it should stay the same for the Full Color Manga.

If you know about a specific moment that will show you if it's uncensored or not, search for the Mangapolo channel on Youtube: most Saiyans chapters can be viewed with the exact text and picture they will show in the US physical release!
Find a moment where the character is supposed to say something that could be censored (Nappa getting mad at Goku? Krilin getting mad for Yamcha's death? Vegeta getting mad at Goku's Triple Kaioken?), and you'll see if that's the case or not.

Unfortunately, I can't check it out myself because those English videos of the Mangapolo Youtube channel are locked to anyone outside the US.
So I'm afraid I can't give you the answer directly, all I can do is point you the right direction to find out yourself.

Oh, so the only way to actually know would be to get an answer from someone who owns the US manga or has read the English chapters of the Full Color Manga.
But I truly think that nothing will be censored as far as words go, they must talk about death and hell and say profanities normally ("bastard", "asshole", "shit", "fuck", etc, just like in the French version I guess).

I'm sure any censorship will be on the pictures themselves, and I'm optimistic that even on that level, the only thing censored will be Popo's lips because the racial thing is the only thing that's still a problematic subject (I wonder what will happen to Colonel Black's similar lips though, if they ever go back to the beginning of the story).

[Insertclevername]

They say "fuck" in the French version?

[sangofe]

They say "fuck" in the French version?

Not as far as I remember, but there are translations that would be similar to "Shit!"

ProxTube is your friend then.

Well, they'll say "Merde !!" which encompasses all "Crap!"/"Shit!"/"Fuck!" you can say, there's no higher level than that in French, so you take the highest level in English too and Nappa completely losing it yells "Fuck, fuck, fuck, FUUUUUCK!!!" to us.
Honestly, though "Fuck!" is supposedly more vulgar than "Shit!", I think both belong to the vulgar stuff, whether it's one or the other is the same, you're not gonna scold a kid for saying "Fuck!" and when he says "Shit!" say "ah, much better, now that's the right way to speak!".

But yeah, they go all the way in French (the Perfect Edition / Kanzenban, not the previous translation), saying the max you could say in our language ("connard", "sale gosse de merde", "p'tit con", etc...).
So you have Piccolo yelling about Gohan's inactivity against Nappa "Sale gosse de merde !!" which would translate as "you little piece of shit!!" or "fuckin' brat!!", Vegeta being beaten all over by Triple Kaioken yells "Connard !!" ("Sick bastard!!" / "Asshole!!") and so does Krilin when Vegeta comments on Yamcha's dead body, and Vegeta says to Trunks who tried to destroy the cyborgs "P'tit con!" ("You're an ass!"), etc...

So I guess it's the same with Viz, they must use "Oh fuck!", "you asshole!" and such...
However, Goku will usually not say such things even in the worst situations, which is explained as an alternative way to remain faithful to the way he speaks in Japanese that is not compatible in our language (instead of his kind nature transpiring through his use of kiddish vocab - which would just make him sound like a retard in our language -, the translation chooses that his natural kindness can be shown through the fact that he has a very cool and relaxed, yet always polite language, avoiding vulgar words even in the toughest situations).

And, finally, MangaPolo has completed the series from the first chapter, to the final chapter of Saiyan arc (with Saiyan arc in both Japanese & English)!

Nope, there's still more to go!
They reduced the pace so that it keeps going on until the end of the week, publishing only chapter 49 of the Saiyan arc today, but there's still chapter 50 (Thursday) and chapter 51 (Friday) before they're done with the Saiyans!

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Wrong... Saiyan arc goes up to chapter 49, since they begun doing the Freeza arc!!!

[dbzfan7]

Well unless pronouns change and the writing gets more accurate, then I don't see a reason for me to abandon the VizBig's and go for these. The violence is the same as looking at the VizBigs it's still gruesome and if it's this bad I don't see it getting worse.

[Cold Skin]

Ah, it seems you're right since the next chapter counts as Freezer.

According to Kanzenshuu, the Full-Color Saiyan Arc goes to chapter 51 included, that's where the physical Full-Color Manga ends for the Saiyans (Volume 3 covers chapters 35 to 51).
The Freezer Arc starts only with the chapter about Vegeta revived. But with Mangapolo, it starts with "Saiyan chapter 50" included instead.
http://www.kanzenshuu.com/manga/full-color/

We knew the chapters were not the same between the original Tankobon and the digital Tankobon but this seems to prove that the chapters are not organized the same between the Full-Color physical release and the digital colorized Tankobon either!

So much for their "we're not planning on doing Freezer" a few weeks ago, but I'm pretty glad it turns out this way!
I will be deprived of Internet connection for the next three weeks, but I should have a way to still get the videos to do my previews.
But I hope you'll keep the Freezer videos just in case I fail due to something unexpected!!
