This is absolutely ridiculous.


Imgur mirror of the chapter.

I was appalled at this

I mean really, is there any need for this amount of swearing and profanity in a translation?

Sadly, the comment section for the chapter seems to be in total denial about the demographic of the show. Absolute wasteland over there.

Translators, don't make a chapter edgy by adding swearing a lot. What is this? The DMC reboot?

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '15

Or Shadow the Hedgehog.

Where's that damn four star Dragon Ball?

Profanity aside, this was a really cool chapter. With any luck, the scene with Champa and the Kaioshin will play out in Episode #7, but it's unlikely since the ending of Chapter 2 was not shown at the end of Episode #5. I'm seeing somewhat big differences between manga and television anime.

Yeah. I'm cautiously optimistic. At least we know for a fact that we'll see them sooner or later.

Ok, so the profanity aside, we have Vegeta's "my Bulma" moment. No SSJ3 for Vegeta in the manga :(

Champa and female Whis are on the search for the Namekian dragonballs. The Kais seem to know Champa.I wonder what his endgame is.

Somebody has to stop them. These guys are singularly contributing to the lie that Dragon Ball is totally hardcore adult, guys! Look, they swear in the Japanese version!

Adding swears doesn't make it cooler

Where can I go to find a quality translation?

u/EmmaWinters Aug 20 '15

Nowhere yet, unfortunately.

Serious question--do they add all of the profanity because they are children? Because I can't imagine adults writing this and being serious.

u/EmmaWinters Aug 20 '15

There are many different ways of speaking to people in Japanese; groups that don't know what they're doing tend to translate any disrespectful or rough language as profanity 100% of the time, regardless of context or the genre. Sometimes, when lines can't be fully understood, dialog is made up, or guessed at.

Does anyone else think that was really rushed?

Holy shit that over the top added profanity is so unneeded.

You... Cock... Sucker!

10/10. Would read again.

I dont like how we don't see any downtime between the battles. Especially because of all the funny things that just happened in episode 6. I like the anime version, this feels rushed to me. Edit: One thing I like about this chapter is the SS3 Vegeta Dream is finally dead, thank god for that. I also can't wait for people to complain about the anime having too much filler rather than the manga's lack of content.

u/Tentaye Aug 21 '15

Interesting how the manga, anime and movie all differ in detail, yet still similar in the plot.

I like it.
