Yeah, they did two arcs( Golden Mask and Tag match), and the chapters that Torayama world didn't do, like the 3º vol in 8 months


Ataru is doing Kinnikuman Lady, the 1º volume? If yes, can I use your translation, Ataru, to scan the manga? In MH have a Raw of the 1º vol so I could put it in mangafox, and maybe i could do it with GonbeFan(Hajike Project)

At this time, I may need to get back to Kinnikuman Lady I guess with the fan demandment. I sort of was going to do the next Throne volume but it sounds like everyone wants me to take a break...maybe I'll do Lady vol. 1 (well the rest of it), then do Throne vol. 2 (will probably be scanslated next year though) and such.

[Matto]

Well, considering in ONE YEAR they did over TWICE what Toriama's World did in about six... well, I say give 'em time to recover! Ataru has like ten other projects he's working on in addition to Kinnikuman/Kinnikuman Lady.

And after all that, a break is well-deserved.

Once the Kinnikuman Lady scans are done, I might do a mini-mocking/review. Regardless of quality.

... Should I suck it up and finally get back in contact with KM to work on V-jump? 8|

[TheOrgg]

Are you starting scanslation, Wimmo?




Knuxie-- it's up to you.

[Molanphy]

I can help ^^, my work isn't good as Steacase King, but it's better than nothing ^^( You can see my work in Bo-bobo chapters 61 to 70)

I think Wimmo was talking about the translator, not Knuxie.

Also, since I didn't get a chance, thanks for doing Bobobo. I tried my hand at it at one point, but juggling two series at the same time just isn't something I can do.

Nah don't bother. find somebody better.

That was rather frank, Wimmo-san. Not that I'm admonishing you for it, or dare I say it, defending KM. It's just I wouldn't have thought you'd be the type to say that.

No, don't. If he didn't get his IP banned from here and he sees people being frank about him via a visit, he'll basically give you his state of mind.

It's not like people are demanding it though. Take your time, alright?

[SoldierAtaru]

I've been in contact with KM and he is asking one question: do you want him to continue with V-Jump or will you take the project and have someone else do it? That's all he wants to know. If you want him to keep going, he will find other people to work with and get it done. If not, he is willing to drop the project. I'm just asking for him, that is all. (personally I rather stay out of the V-Jump politics since it was never my project to begin with...)

[TheOrgg]

So if there's interest in the community, he'll find a non-community team to complete the project. If we don't give two shizzits, he'll drop it?

Honestly, I'd still like to see the V-Jump translated.

[KnuxieChan]

Yeah... I feel guilty because I pretty much just two-faced him about the whole thing. I would like to text-set it myself but.. would.. kinda prefer to work with another translator.. *headdesk* God, I feel like a jerk.

But if he really wants to work on it, I could hand the project over to him..? I dunno. DX;;

[SoldierAtaru]

He really doesn't mind the project aside the time it takes that he really doesn't have as of late. He just probably felt rather betrayed due to being the main source and the one who was going to scan in all those V-Jump volumes and do it exclusively. I say personally if he wants to keep going and work with some other group (or if someone here wants to lend a hand), we can have a group that still gets it out. But I think it's up to him since he was the keystone behind the V-Jump project in the first place.

[Stecase King]

Just out of interest, were the 'Warsman begins' and 'Kinnikuman's Wedding' one shot mangas ever scanlated? Both were around 50 pages long if I recall...

Scanned, but not scanlated.

Can someone send me the scans? I really want to see this oneshot ^^

I see....
Actually, in this weeks Playboy magazine, the second half to a new Nisei one-shot about Terryman training Terry the Kid when he was very young called the 'Spin-off' (I think) has been published. If I had known earlier I would have bought the magazine last week to get the first half but now it's too late
Still, I guess I could pick up the second half and scan it for whatever it's worth...

Some collection somewhere or another will probably collect the whole Terry Man/Kid story. We just got to wait for that to happen.

I actually do have the scans of the "Kinnikuman Wedding" chapter, but I'm sort of hoping to translate that pretty much the moment the Throne is over. (since it's a nice epilogue to the classic era, even though it was written last year)

[Matto]

I thought that one-shot was nice because it didn't retcon anything.

Besides Suguru's bruised face, of course.

[SoldierAtaru]

And now for something that no one has ever asked for...well except maybe one or two people:

K. Lady Chp. 3: Anyone raise their hand if you expected Kinkotsuman to stay like that...: http://mangahelpers..../releases/16992

This series might not suck after all...?

THE HORROR.

[Stecase King]

I'm just gonna accept the Kaijin explanation for Kinkotsuman to be canon. It fits for the most part, considering that most of the time he was referred to as something that's neither a Chojin nor Kaijuu (aside from those rare instances where he had to fall into one of those categories for plot reasons).

Although on page 21, Meat does say "Kaijuu and Kaijin", so apparently Iwao's status as a Kaijuu hasn't been changed.

[TheOrgg]

Heyhay! So where's GonbeFan with the edited pages? ETA on that?

I'm looking forward to this chapter of Kinn Lady. The strangeness is astounding.

My guess is that the Kaijuu are the monsters and the Kaijin...are humanoid Kaijuu. (can't really say they're a subclass of Choujin but more like bastard Choujin who are tied closer to the Kaijuu) Though I do wonder if this is just the new mangaka's explanation for him or Yude finally made up his mind on what to make Kinkotsuman.

[TheOrgg]

Where did I get that they (and Nachi) were Loser Chojins?

[Stecase King]

The fact that Yudetamago put official numbers for their Chojin Power in the databooks probably has something to do with it.

[SoldierAtaru]

I think the problem all started because of that retcon from the America arc on that all Kaijuu are essentially Choujin which Kinkotsuman and Iwao used to get into that tag tournament. Therefore they made Kinkotsuman and Iwao (and others such as Nachiguron, as Stecase just stated) all "Choujin" by default and never really explained what the Kaijuu from the early arc were and that they really meant nothing compared to, say, Devil Choujin or Perfect Choujin.

To tell the truth, I like now that we have a "Kaijin" classification for at least Kinkotsuman. (Iwao...I can't say if he's a "Kaijuu" or a "Kaijin") Sad that it took a completely different mangaka to come up with it.
