The International Version of the Buu-Kai Arc

[TheBlackPaladin]

I think the singer for the ending has a decent pronunciation, you mostly naturally decipher the sentences he's saying like you would do with most English songs when you're a foreigner.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm an American, and even I have trouble understanding what the singer for the OP is saying sometimes!

[Valerius Dover]

I am a native American English speaker as well, and yet I'd be lost were it not for Donghyun's lyrics.

Yeah. Before I would only understand the phrases "get ready," "fight it out," "go kamehameha," and "strongest of the universe." The rest sounds too much like gibberish. Good singing though, just poor pronunciation, and the lyrics are a bit strange.

Episode #17 of "The Final Chapters" is entitled:

"극악무도한 마도사 바비디와 암흑마계왕 다브라의 함정!"

Google translates as:

"Dark Magus monstrous Bobby Dee and the Underworld King of the bra is a trap !"

Correct English is:

"The Heinous Mage Babidi
and King of the Underworld Dabra’s Trap"

^Nice! I think it's a little odd that it's 17 episodes already, though. I would've thought the new ending theme would've come along at around 16-18. With this, the earliest it can come along would be Episode 21, if it's still Majin Vegeta centered.

[dbboxkaifan]

I raised the volume of the opening and ending to what you would hear on a CD (or official download) and added cover art/artist info. Sounds much better in your music library.

Fight it Out!!
Never Give Up!!!

Plus, here's the logo.

Thanks so much!

I just noticed now that they're in English but the pronounciation makes it hard to understand. Fight It Out!! is really catchy and am glad a full version is out now.

Episode #18 of "The Final Chapters" is entitled:

18화 "슈퍼 사이어인을 얕보지 마! 베지터와 오공의 파워 폭발!"

Google translates as:

"Do undermining the Super sayieoin ! Bejiteo and explosive power of Goku !"

Correct English is:

"Don’t Underestimate a Super Saiyan!
Vegeta and Goku’s Full Throttle Power!"

The Opening theme totally rocks!!! I need full version!!!!

Just noticed, that the lyrics are in Engrish?
I thought that they are Japanese with heavy use of English..... Damn, when it goes to Japanese people singing in English, they always fail in that.
I can't stand English version of Chala Head Chala or other Kageyama tracks even a bit, but this song is actually so weirdly sang, that I didn't even understood that it is in english.

[Valerius Dover]

^I highly doubt there are longer versions of any of these. These were intended for the international market where they don't sell songs.

Save some exceptions, like Hikaru Utada, who was born to Japanese parents but raised in America...both her Japanese and her English are completely free of accents.

^I highly doubt there are longer versions of any of these. These were intended for the international market where they don't sell songs.

And it is for this exact reason that I've wondered if these songs will even get a CD release. I personally don't believe they will.

[dbboxkaifan]

And if it does get a CD release then have a Japanese version of it too, so that the singer can sing in his mother tongue language without making mistakes.

Whenever I listen to Fight It Out!! I hear "Soulless of the Universe" and it's actually "Strongest of the Universe".

[SuperSaiyanHedgehog]

They really should have gotten English-speaking vocalists to sing these songs. Look at the Sonic the Hedgehog games. They were made in Japan, but the theme songs and other vocal tracks were performed by Americans. Why can't Toei do the same?

[Valerius Dover]

^That's a good point, actually. Almost all of them are in English. The only exceptions would be the anime songs that are in Japanese, and the theme from the movie which is in Engrish. The Japanese Sonic CD themes have both Engrish and English in them.

[UltimateHammerBro]

It's funny how we talk about English and Engrish as if they were two completely different languages.
Then again, they mostly are

Thanks for the info !
At this rate, I just pray that FUNimation opted for the "Japanese cut"...yeah, I know, it's highly unlikely.

Of course it won't come out before the international version but it WILL come out after.

[Valerius Dover]

Again, there's no reason for Funi or anyone else in the world to have this Japanese edit. It serves one purpose and one purpose alone. Everybody else in the world already has theirs.

[dbboxkaifan]

The Japanese cut is an updated version of The Final Chapters but instead of making it better, they often would have bad music placements, weird cuts and the pacing was/is awful (it's not over yet, so the terrible pacing may return).

When I'm referring to the horrendous pacing, it's way back at the beginning with the Great Saiyaman arc they fucked that up and being so I'd rather they have skipped it as it was barely watchable.

No reason...I dunno.I mean, if I put myself into FUNi' shoes, the Japanese cut seems better.You're right, there is an international version, but from what I've seen, the japanese cut is better - I don't wanna say "Its' a great, perfect version", I just say : it's -IMO- better.The simple idea that FUNimation has dubbed the international version makes me sick and frustrated .What a waste!
I'm surprised to be the only one with that opinion - bad taste, I guess.

[Valerius Dover]

Well, I can't give my own opinion just yet, but others have mostly complained about the pacing being inconsistent in cut version, due to them only editing certain episodes while leaving others intact.
