What were the two solutions BTW?

Well, initially I just had him say the whole name everytime he was talking to Kinnikuman Great, but it was extremely awkward sounding. Then I decided to shorten it to "Niku Great", but that sounded even worse. Finally, I just settled on "Niku".

I wish they had been more careful about their random English...

Mace? Kendaman was Mace? Suddenly I just imagine him looking like Raymond Burr.

[KnuxieChan]

I'll admit that I had no friggin clue what a Kenda was until I looked it up. So I can understand the name change..

Kekekekekeke.

God, I love the pinheaded laughs in this series.

And about Kin. Great's name shortage.. XD Niku sounds kinda silly to me. But eh, no biggie.

Had to look it up, but kendama are rather prominent in a few anime here or there whenever they show bored kids. It really is one of those things that doesn't really cross cultures...like say if some American kid created a paddleball Choujin.

[Kawaii Kenni]

Well, you could compare it to a cup-and-ball game, that's the closest it can get to, I suppose. I was thinking of translating "kendama" as "cup-and-ball" for the song.

God, I love the pinheaded laughs in this series.

You'd love One Piece, then. Some of the most out there laughs. Ranging from the semi-normal "Yaaaaaa-hahahahaha!" to "FOOOOSFOSFOSFOS!"

Chapter 217: I get the feeling that not calling Kendaman "BallAndCupman" is going to be one of those things I really regret later on, like not calling Okamarasu "Trannysaurus". (I swear to god, someday I'll go back and redo that chapter just for the sake of using that pun)

Also, some text got cut off on the title page of 216. Here's the correct version.

So what's the pun about calling him "BallandCupman?" "Kendaman" actually is a nice pun considering that all of "kendama" is in it aside from the "n" at the end. (sort of like how I'm starting to come around to "Mildman" due to "Mild Man-nered" akin to it coming off into the true Big the Budo outfit...though it still doesn't explain why it looks so ridiculous)

Well, think 'atheletic supporter.'

Since Mace was a Galactic Wrestling name, I wonder if the fact that the tagteam was "Mace and Screw Kid" was a coincidence? I figured it was intentional on the part of 4Kids, as it seemed like their type of subversive humor.


Also, was it just me, or was there an error in the panel where the rings started turning back around when everyone came out?


Oh-- on the 'Great!'/Niku thing... Why not "Greatoh!" (or "Greater!" to anglize it if you want) like he actually says in the anime?

[Kawaii Kenni]

Mm, I'd agree with Orgg-san. "Great!" is misleading on its own, but "Greater!" could work for a nickname that Kinnikuman could call "Great".

[TheOrgg]

I'd personally go with 'Greato' or 'Greatoh,' as that's what he calls him in the anime.

[Kawaii Kenni]

Well, only really for the reason that pretty much every syllable in kana ends in a vowel, and "Great" is roughly "gu-re-to". But, yes, "Greato" would also probably work as a silly little thing, or an in-joke. Frankly, I'm sure any can be used, and then just explained in a credits page or something.

Oh Great!

BTW: I did do two chapters today but somehow the file didn't get sent to me...but all I can say is: Robin Mask is a douche, Neptuneman is a douche, and Big the Budo...is a good punching bag for a boss villain.

[Matto]

Kinnikuman: the greatest manga where douches run wild!

Could get smelly.

[TheOrgg]

Douche Salt and Vinegar flavored potato chips, anybody?

Chapter 218: I have this theory that Mongolman spent most of the Throne arc gathering as many Brutal/Violent Chojin as he could and turning them into an actual organization so that he'd have a back-up group to join in case Akuma Shogun won.

You mean the Golden Mask Arc?

[Kawaii Kenni]

Nope. Throne Arc. Mongolman was just really slow on the uptake.

Well the Brutal Choujin seemed to all but vanish aside from him and maybe Brocken Jr. He's probably upset that he feels so lonely with the Perfect, Devil and Justice taking his spotlight.

Chp. 221: I was going to say something about Mildman again, but instead let me state this: this isn't the last we see of Rollerman!: http://mangahelpers..../releases/12459
Chp. 222: You know "Quarrel" would have made more sense than "Kenka" considering that they speak...well, English there. (well unless he spoke Welsh or Gaelic): http://mangahelpers..../releases/12460

English is over-rated. ;D

Chaper 219: Buffaloman proves why he's one of the few awesome characters in the main cast.

So why not just make Kenkaman from Wales, use the Welsh version of "Quarrel" and we'll all be happy that he doesn't have a Japanese name.

Then again, I just laughed the other day translating a Wingman "explanation" on how a being from another realm can talk to a Japanese person aside from the obvious "because it's a manga".

[TheOrgg]

So we'll be using "Quarrelman" instead of "Kenkaman?" Good. At least we'll not be using 'Street Scrapper.' How did they come up with that?

Then again, "Kahn Man" for Mongolman made SOME sense, as "Mongol" is a slur against down syndrome affected people here in America. Plus, pun FTW.

He was later retconned to "Lomeinman".

But yeah, "Quarrelman". It's always irritated the heck out of me that 99% of the cast have English names, but occasionally a "Kenkaman" or "The Manriki" will pop up with a Japanese name for absolutely no reason, and both have English translations of their names in their special attacks, no less. (plus 2/3 of the fandom doesn't even know what Manriki means)

Why isn't there a Welsh Choujin anyway? ;_; All the other countries in the UK have Choujins, but not us. [/useless comment]

And eh, I maybe the only one here, but I actually like Kenkaman better then Quarrelman.
