4,000 in 30 years is not unfeasible in the slightest.

Not unfeasible, however it is unlikely. We're given no indication that Dodoria trains, in fact most of the strong members of Freeza's organisation get their power from being mutants, not training. Given Salagir's track record, I'd say this is a retcon of his strength.

Yeah right, Dodoria is surely at 18.000... :|
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I say it's moving Dodoria down so it's not quite as bad when Totally Original OC kills him.

I have a hard time believing the English hasn't evolved into some kind of subversive in-joke at this point. This entire page is genuinely meme-worthy. It's Poe's Law now.

"It's worse than our worst scenario!" can be read with such thick meta it cracks me up.

The translation is worse than my worst imagining as well.

Oh, I get it. The "we don't have air" thing is hinting at what happens next ... Bardock will run out of air, somehow survive, get a huge power boost, and then turn SSJ for whatever reason.

At least, that's the only way I can see him being a match for Freeza.

It's... just as bad though. Hanasia being at 12,000 is already ridiculous and beating someone at 18,000 (Vegeta's strength on earth) is more so, considering that Goku couldn't beat him at 16,000 (Kaio-ken x2).

Hoping she just pulls a Krillin. Distraction + quick escape. It just makes so little sense for her to fight this out. When she screws up the ship's guidance systems then Dodoria will presumably be killed anyway by the massive assault that Hanasia is, you know, there to facilitate in the first place.

*sigh* There's no helping with this special. They really need help with grammars. The Zarbon line in the last panel doesn't make sense. There's no such thing as beyond "worst". It would be better if he said "Freeza-sama, the Saiyans have banded together and transformed into Great Apes. It's worse than we imagined."

Did Salagir actually want an English editor to correct the grammars? He kept saying he really needed it badly, but never took up the offer from them.

He wanted an English translator, but apparently no one is able to maintain his holy high standard of quality translations, Seems none of us are fluent enough to maintain the nuances he's trying to convey. What he fails to realize is that they certainly aren't getting conveyed as things are, he's just making all the characters sound like they aren't educated.

Even if the person doesn't know a single foreign language and is unable to translate the page on their own, I don't see the problem with just sending a native speaker the dialogue they have on the page before hand and letting them take a crack at cleaning up the grammatical errors and making it flow naturally for the language.

Choosing to stick with a lackluster translation like this because of a reason as silly as his is nothing more than disappointing. Who cares if the nuances are lost because the editor changed the meaning a bit, or because the wording doesn't make sense to begin with?

I'm failing to understand why Freeza will apparently need to shift into his final form to win this. Wouldn't one of his secondary forms be enough?

They sent an email back, they said they'd consider my help and that they'd refer my email to Salagir.

Salagir nerfed him. His second form is 100,000 instead of 1,000,000 and his full power is 530,000.

What the FUCK?

You know what...I'm done. I can't even begin to understand what's going on in Salagir's head. Whether it be translations, naming conventions (BADDACK?), power...ugh.
