I edited that all at once. I mentioned the mention of Hell at the same time as I said it didn't happen.

I simply misread what you wrote. I'm sorry. Calm down.

...I think you're interpreting me as being a lot more upset than I am.

Anyway.

"Stupid junk" is probably a nickname for Trunks.

Beerus doesn't get idioms. It's probably been a while.

Well, to throw someone to the wolves is a saying that I've heard many times before. It means to leave or send someone to a bad situation where they'll likely be terribly hurt (either emotionally or physically) without any aide. Sometimes you're sacrificing someone to save others (and probably yourself, sometimes you're trying to teach someone a lesson the hard way, sometimes your a Sink-or-Swim Mentor (which is basically all they do), and sometimes you're just doing it for shits and giggles.

So, Tobias, I have a question that I've been meaning to ask you: Why do you use the Japanese name for everything except Kami?

I just use the names I'm comfortable with, which are the names in the manga I read, and God was translated in the manga.

Is it just an update? I read on some site that movie outfits would be released via a special code.

What started out as a pleasant afternoon of drugs and surgery has not gone as planned.

[up][up][up] Then I have another question to ask you: Why did that translation use the Japanese names for everything except Kami?

It's not like a really have a problem with what you use, it's just that it's inconsistent and inconsistency bothers me a lot.

There aren't enough smilies or emoticons in the world for how much I'm laughing right now.

The fact that I can't make that my signature saddens me to no end.

Actually, I just read one of those Big Edition Viz copies of Dragon Ball Z, and Kami was translated as, well "Kami".

...is it?

Huh. Might just be force of habit, then. I've known the character as God since before I read the manga; I started using the name way back when I'd just seen the anime to distinguish its meaning; it was a point of clarification against people who thought "Kami" was a name.

Could have sworn they translated it.

That or Viz just decided to change to Kami or something; they did make like what, three reprints of this manga over the course of a couple decades.

Mr Popo does refer to him as "his godhood" and uses "holy" to describe him though, so at least the connotations are there.

I distinctly recall them using "Kami" in the regular manga volumes when I read it.

Meh. It means the same thing, either way. I try not to be picky about terminology.

Unless you say Kay-oh-ken. Then I will punch you.
