* [BlindIdiotTranslation: Many, depending on your version.] Let\\\'s start by exposing the farce of the \\\"over 9,000\\\" meme: what Vegeta\\\'s scouter actually said about his power level was that it was over \\\'\\\'\\\'8\\\'\\\'\\\',000 (\\\"hassen ijou da\\\"). Check the manga, the anime, the scene revisit in \\\'\\\'Kai\\\'\\\', all in the original. It\\\'s there. Over EIGHT thousand, not nine (which would be \\\"kyuusen...\\\").
** Umm, you do know that the whole 9,000 thing is less of a BlindIdiotTranslation. Rather, they deliberately changed it to 9,000 to match Vegeta\\\'s lip movement. 9,000 works better than 8,000 for lip-syncing. More like a case of [[PragmaticAdaptation pragmatic translation]] if you ask me.
*** Is that why they changed \\\'\\\'every Earth-based character\\\'s\\\'\\\' power ratings from the manga?
** In the English version of \\\'\\\'Kai\\\'\\\', at least, both 8,000 and 9,000 were used as different exclamations, in order. Which still doesn\\\'t explain the mistranslation, since why use the right one to follow it up with the wrong one in the place where the right one should be?
*** Actually, that\\\'s only in the edited for TV English version of Kai and was obviously meant a shout out to the meme, as Funimation also referenced it in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWsFuVw9njU Dragon Box Vol. 1 trailer.]] The uncut DVD version uses the correct [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvfd7ocOGCE \\\"Over 8,000\\\" line.]]
