Dialogs in the manga

Trans­la­ti­on in English by DBM trans­la­tor.

You were able to read my thoughts, Piccolo…



Aaaah… I see… I know who you are…
That’s why our tech­ni­ques are so similar…





What are you doing here?

Kami-Sama!

Now you un­der­stand, Demon Piccolo…

You know very well why I’m here!






You’re not here to fight me are you?

Of course I am!

HAHAHA! BEAT ME? You? Have you gone mad?

You and I are the same person! If you kill me, you’ll die too!



Hehehe! I know that! You can’t kill me either! You don’t want to die huh?


You’re not going to…

… commit suicide?!

Don’t worry about me…

I’ve learned a trick from humans that will allow me to get rid of you without dying...








Wh… what?


Ready?

Note that nor­mal­ly Ja­pa­ne­se text is written in manga from top to bottom. But not Na­me­ki­an, which is left to right! Its ja­pa­ne­se trans­la­ti­on is the­re­fo­re also written from left to right (like with DBM! ^^)

Mr. Popo tells the ship to fly to Jupiter.












And the machine answers “Command Heard”

Here, we don't know if the namek says "I don't un­der­stand you ..." or if it says the be­gin­ning of the same thing as in the panel below (where it answers in Ja­pa­ne­se).

Here, when Dende is talking to Porunga, the sub­tit­le gives the pho­ne­tics of his words, not the trans­la­ti­on.

He’s most pro­ba­bly saying:
“Polunga, appear!”

Takka raputo
Pop polunga
Pu­pi­lit­to paro

Then, he trans­la­tes the wishes of his friends.

First off, I want all the Earth­lings killed by the Saiyans to be re­sur­rec­ted!

(Porunga answers in perfect english, that he can’t)

After, here is what they tell Dende to ask to Polunga:

Ask him to re­sur­rect Piccolo, the Na­me­ki­an who lives on Earth!










The second wish would be to te­le­port Piccolo, who just re­sur­rec­ted, to Planet Namek!

Dende gives the last wish, in two parts, because he is cut off by Freeza, as dic­ta­ted by the Grand Elder Guru.

These are the words of his wish…
… “Trans­fer eve­ry­o­ne to Earth, except Freeza and a Saiyan called Goku.”

First, I want the souls of Goku and Krilin, who died on Namek, to be brought back here!

And finally, in the last volume, the last in­vo­ca­ti­on. The new Elder Grand Guru uses exactly the same words as Dende before.

A far-away planet, Earth, has been en­ti­re­ly de­st­roy­ed. Bring it back as it was before, please!






















Uh… re­sur­rect all the people killed since the day Babidi arrived on Earth! Except the vil­lains, of course!





Fan­tas­tic! That was our final wish!
