Dragon Ball

아주 먼 옛날
모두 모으면 소원을 이루어준다는 신비한 구슬 드래곤볼이 있었다.
그리고 그 드래곤볼을 찾아 나섰던 손오공이란 아이가 있었다.

손오공은 수많 모험에서 라이벌과 대결하며 크게 성장하었고
결국 드래곤볼의 도움으로 위기에 빠진 지구를 구해 내었다.

Age777년, 오공의 활약으로 마인 부우의 위협에서 벗어난 지구는
200년 이상 평화를 유지하며 조금씩 변하기 시작하였다.

손오공과 베지터가 남긴 사이어인의 퍼는 인간들과 섞여 퍼져나갔고
착한 마인 부우는 신비한 힘으로 자손을 만들어 마인족을 창조하였다.
그리고 고향 별을 잃은 나메크 성인들이 지구로 이주해왔다.

그러나 Age1000년 지금
평화로운 시대가 다시 안녕올 고하려 하고 있다.

돌연 나타난 창백한 얼굴의 침략자에게 위협을 반게 된 미래의 지구.
타임머신을 타고 나타난 미지의 군세에 의해 위기에 처한 과거의 지구.
그의 부하들은 사람들의 생명 에너치를 빼앗아 가기 시작한다.

범 우주적인 위협을 느낀 천게는 타임 패트롤의 파견을 결정하고
그들이 남긴 흔척, 시간의 균열을 쯫아 추격을 시작한다.

범 우주적인 위협을 느낀 천게는 타임 패트롤의 파견을 결정하고
그들이 남긴 흔척, 시간의 균열을 쯫아 추격을 시작한다.

시간의 균열은 잘못된 시간의 여행이 남긴 서로 다른 시간대로의 문.
그 일그러진 시공 속에서 길을 잃게 되면 다시는 돌아올 수 없다.
그리고 지금 시간의 균열 속으로 빨려 들어간 한 아이가 있다.......

A long time ago
there were mysterious wish giving marbles, the Dragonballs.
There was also a child, Goku, that sought after the Dragonballs.

Through Goku's many adventures the confrontations he faced grew,
but with the help of the Dragonballs the earth was saved from crisis.

200 Years since age 777, when justice was brought to Majin Buu,
the earth has enjoyed peace and change.

Goku and Vegeta's blood line has merged into the human race,
the children of Majin Buu, known for their mystical powers, have began to spread.
Namekian adults, who've lost their homeland, have migrated to Earth.

Now, in age 1000,
it is a peaceful era of well-being.

Suddenly, pale-faced invaders threaten the future of Earth.
They come in a time machine from the unknown and endanger the Earth's past.
These men are beginning to take away the lives of people.

With the universe threatened the time patrollers
have given chase through the cracks in time.

An accidental time portal has opened.
Children have entered into it and passed through
it's twisted construction where there is no return.

Hey, since DBO has recently gone into OB, I've been doing some translations, and I've noticed that there are some stuff that people still don't seem completely informed about, so I figured I'd contribute some of my findings. I also posted this on the Daizenshuu Ex forums.

First off, unless I'm missing something, the villains are no longer known as the "Dark Eye". I was actually the person who translated the article with that information a long time ago, when the game was first announced (believe it or not). At the time, it stated something along the lines of, "the world has been divided by a villainous organization called the Dark Eye, which is controlled from behind the scenes by a mysterious individual". Whatever the reason, it seems to have been dropped, since it hasn't been used in a long time.

Instead, as it currently stands, the villain is typically only referred to as the "Pale Man", and his forces, which are comprised of the remnants of the Freeza and Red Pants Armies, are usually called the "Pale Man's Army".


Now, I haven't read much about this stuff on any English sites, so I thought I'd share some information. Some is from the game, some from the official site, and some of it's a bit older, from a press conferances:


The Pale Man, Miira

The Pale Man's name is Miira, and the current main goal for players is to uncover and prevent his evil plans. Miira is a humanoid that was created in the Dark Demon Realm (Ankoku Makai), and invaded Earth in Age 2000 to try and conquer it. He recruits the remnants of the Freeza and Red Pants Armies and begins gathering life energy, then travels back in time with a time machine to try and obtain Goku's DNA to become even stronger. Kami-sama (Dende) asks Trunks to prevent this, leading to the formation of the Time Patrol.

You may or may not know that in one of the recent Dragon Ball guidebooks, Akira Toriyama introduced the concept of Makaioshin, corrupted Kaioshin (Supreme Kais) that rule over the Dark Demon Realm (where Dabura is from). It was speculated that he brought this up because he planned to use them in DBO. Though I'm pretty sure Miira isn't a Makaioshin, I feel fairly confident in saying that the female character he's been pictured with probably is, and that she may be the one who created him.


The Human Race and Classes

Of the three races, the humans have the longest established culture on Earth, and they're also the most prolific, having spread to all corners of the world, including the Wastelands. As of Age 1000, the human race has become cross-bred with the Saiyan race, and as such, many believe that the race holds a powerful, hidden potential. In Age 820, the remnants of the Freeza Army invaded Earth; the war and environmental destruction has given the human race an intense drive to protect the planet.

You may have also noticed that humans in the Age 1000 are well aware of advanced fighting techniques. This is all thanks to Son Gohan, who published the book "Groundbreaking Science" around Age 800, presumably introducing concepts such as ki control to the general public and ushering in a worldwide revolution in martial arts (details on this aren't completely clear).

Introducing the New Hermits

After Gohan wrote "Groundbreaking Science", which advocated martial arts and increased expectations to use them, many began to call for a revival of the Turtle and Crane Schools. However, the Turtle and Crane Hermits had retired due to old age, and the task of revival was passed on to Kuririn and Tienshinhan.

Kuririn founded the New Turtle School. Having fought many battles alongside Saiyans and Namekians, he understood that humans simply couldn't compare to aliens and developed techniques that revolved around working together. Even if they're unable to deal a killing blow to kill their opponent, they can still weaken them, and by combining their efforts with others, would be able to contend with far stronger enemies.

Tienshinhan, on the other hand, came to a different conclusion, believing that it was more important to develop aggressive attacks by controlling ki than it was to provide support. Having witnessed the Genki Dama that Son Goku used to defeat Majin Boo, he realized that it was possible for an individual to defeat even the strongest opponent by raising their power to the limits and gathering tremendous amounts of ki. As such, he developed techniques that revolved around strategically collecting ki and unleashing bursts of intense energy with percise timing.

Founding of the groundbreaking Kikoukenjutsu Sword School

In Gohan's "Groundbreaking Science", he wrote that the Katchin metal (that was used to test the Z-Sword) could, in fact, be cut, which caused many to become interested in learning swordplay. When Trunks and Goten learned about this, they got all fired up and decided that they'd start an awesome sword school of their own. This lead to the founding of the groundbreaking Kikoukenjutsu Sword School. Kikoukenjutsu, or "Spiritual Swordsmanship", revolves around elegant swordplay and infusing blades with ki to overpower opponents.


The Namekian Race and Classes

After the namekian's homeworld, Planet Namek, was destroyed, they migrated to New Namek. However, that was attacked by Miira in Age 853, forcing them to move yet again. They settled on Earth, primarily around "Porunga Rocks", a region that was terraformed to resemble Namek. They now work on behalf of Kami-sama Dende to prevent Miira from causing global destruction.
Unlike other races, namekians are genderless and reproduce asexually.

The Namekian Warriors are warrior-type namekians that follow the teachings of the legendary namekian warrior, Piccolo, and they fall into two categories Makai Warriors and Madou Warriors. Makai Warriors follow Piccolo's teachings, while the Madou Warriors are those who have reinterpreted Piccolo's teachings to develop a new style.

Namekian Dragon Clansmen are the rare namekians born into the Dragon Clan, who have the ability heal others and to create and control shenlongs. The Dende Priests follow the teachings of Kami-sama Dende, who is regarded as the greatest spirtual teacher in Namekian history, and emphasize healing and strengthening their allies. Poko Priests, on the other hand, vomit eggs that hatch into demon shenlongs called Pokopen, which they can control, similar to Piccolo Daimao; these Pokopen include Bongo and Gamelan.


The Majin Race and Classes

After Goku left to train Oob, Mr. Boo and Mr. Satan won the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai by cheating, and remained undefeated through the 29th and 30th. However, after a while, Mr. Boo became envious of the humans and the close relationships they had with their sweethearts. In Age 790, Boo accidentally found and read Mr. Satan's copy of "Bob and Margaret", a controversial adult book, in his library. He began to study it in order to create a "Female Boo" that would be just his type. With the name Booby in mind, he removed part of his body and molded it into a wife for himself, then finished by hitting her with a Love Beam, causing her to give birth to a "Baby Boo". From then on the population grew quickly, and, in time, the descendants of Boo were recognized worldwide as the Mmajin race. They're an optimistic and joyful people who dedicate themselves to making "fun days" for otherse, though they can become dangerous when they're angry or confused. They stand against Miira in order to create a more pleasant Earth.

The majin fall into two basic categories: Daimajin (Large Majin) and Imajin (Strange Majin). The Daimajin are happy and have a natural gift for uplifting the spirits of those around them and are also able to reduce the impact of enemy attacks with their soft bodies. They can become Ultima, musicians who enjoy fighting and rally their friends with songs, or Granma, chefs who torment their enemies with a mischievous and fattening fighting style and use maces that resemble foods.

The Imajin, on the other hand, are majin that at some point experienced the corrupting influence of sin. They're aggressive, and develop fighting techniques capable of really hurting their enemies. They can become Plasmas, who become too fixated on enjoying themselves and taking pleasure in nature; like monks, Plasmas use their drums to draw on the power of nature (like lighting), but can also use the drums to fill their friends with rhythm. The Karmas are majin who have developed a dark side due to past experience with sin, and they dance and wear masks to frighten or entrance their enemies.


General Translation Notes

Regarding Martial Artists and Fighters, the Japanese terms, "budoka" and "kakutouka". Budo is a catch-all term referring to any sort of fighting style, while kakutou refers more specifically to hand-to-hand and competetive martial arts, though both are often translated as just "martial arts".

I've generally used "spiritual" as a catch-all for the Japanese term "kikou", or "ki control". This is actually the Japanese translation for the Chinese art of Chi Kung, and in Dragon Ball, refers to the cultivation and channeling of ki. The term's notable used by Tienshinhan in his "Kikouhou", which was dubbed as "Tri-Beam". In the "Kikoukenjutsu" (Spiritual Swordsmanship), the term implies that the sword techniques revolve around channeling ki into the blade.

The Crane and Turtle Hermits aren't called "Roshi". Roushi literally means "old man that teaches", and it's Muten Roushi's name. The Turtle and Crane Hermit classes are "Kame-senshi" and "Tsuru-senshi", with "senshi" meaning "hermit". Senshi is used to differentiate the class from the original Turtle and Crane Hermits, which are written as "Kame-sennin" and "Tsuru-sennin".

Regarding the namekian classes, the Makai Warriors (Makai Senshi) and Madou Warriors (Madou Senshi) are two different takes on Piccolo's teachings. Makai means "demon realm", and Madou means "demon arts". Dende Priests (Dende-doushi) are obviously disciples of Dende (his name is written as "Denden" in Korean). Poko Priests (Poko-doushi) are based on Piccolo Daimao, who summoned his demon offspring by chanting "Pokopen". In DBO, the demon dragons that Poko Priests summon are called Pokopen, and the two that are available are named Bongo and Gamelan, named after musical instruments just Piccolo Daimao's children.

Also, the Poko Priests don't use "hearthstones". They use "demon stones", or "maseki". The reason machine translations translate it as "hearthstone" is because that's the name of a World of Warcraft item that's called a "magic stone" in the Korean version, and that has the same hanja as "demon stone". Hearthstones in WoW are items you can use to teleport to whichever inn is currently set as your home, hearthstone (hearth means home).

Daimajin literally means "Large Majin"; "dai", meaning "big" or "large", refers specifically to size, even though female majin are obviously not big and fat. Some have been using "Mighty Majin", but I must say that the Japanese word for "mighty" is actually kyoudai, "large strength". Most likely, when they originally created the majin race, they intended for Daimajin to be fat and Imajin to be skinny, but instead decided to just make the males fat and the females skinny.

Imajin literally means "Strange Majin", referring to the fact that these are majin that have been tainted by sin, making them different from the Daimajin that live to make others happy. "I" means "strange", "abnormal", "unsual", etc., and though "wonder" is certainly apt, I don't think "Wonder Majin" accurately depicts them as being corrupted by sin.

Ultima, Granma, Plasma, and Karma are all obviously words that end in -ma, a referance to the "ma" in majin. Granma might very well come from "Grandma", as grandmother's are often known to cook for their families. The Plasmas are also pretty clearly inspired by the Japanese Thunder God, Raijin, who is usually depicted with a ring of drums on his back that he uses to create thunder.

Was bei DBO nach dem Ende des Mangas bzw. DBZ bis zum Jahre 1000 passiert:

Son-Gohan hat ein "wissenschaftliches" Buch über die Kampfkunst und Ki-Kontrolle geschrieben und darin auch beschrieben, dass Katchin-Metall (das Metall zum Austesten des Z-Schwertes) theoretisch mithilfe von Ki schneiden kann.
Aufgrund dieser Tatsache haben Son-Goten und Trunks eine sehr bekannte Schwertkampfschule gegründet.
Es kommt noch dazu,dass die zwei weitere Kampfschulen aufgrund der Veröffentlichung von dem Buch von Son-Gohan wiederaufgerufen wurden. Die eine Schule ist die Schildkröte-Kampfschule und die ander die Kranich-Kampfschule, wobei Krillin, Kuririn oder wie auch immer die Schildkröte-Kampfschule leitet und Tenshinhan die Kranich-Kampfschule. Krillin legt dabei einen Wert darauf, dass man übermächtige Gegner mit der Hilfe anderer erledigt, Tenshinhan glaubt aber eher, dass man die Gegner mit extrem starke Ki-Attacken erledigen soll.
Desweitern sind die reinrassigen Saiyajins ausgestorben, auf der Erde leben nun Mensch-Saiyajin Mischlinge.

Die Namekianer haben derweil ihre Heimat (schon wieder) verloren, deshalb sind sie auf die Erde ausgewandert, wobei in von ihnen besiedelten Gegenden den Planeten Namek ähnelt. Es gibt bei den Namekianer die Krieger und die Priester vom Drachenclan. Unter den Kriegern gibt es die finsteren Krieger, die den Lehren des LEGENDÄREN PICCOLOS befolgen, und die Schattenkrieger, die seine Lehren reinterpretieren und daraus einen neuen Kampfstil entwickeln.
Unter den Drachenclanmitglieder, die Shenlong erschaffen kontrollieren können, gibt es die Dendepriester, dessen Vorbild Dende ist, sie heilen ihre Teamkameraden und stärken diese. Dann gibt es wiederum die Pokopriester, die Eier legen, woraus "Dämonen" schlüpfen, sowie bei Piccolo Senior.

Zu guter gibt es die Majins. Majin Boo, der Mr. Satan bei Turnieren geholfen hat und ihn bei den 28., 29. und 30. Kampfsportturnier als Weltmeister verholfen hat, ist auf die zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen aufmerksam geworden. Als er ein nicht jugendfreies Heft von Mr. Satan namens "Bob & Magareth" gelesen hat, hat er aus einem Teil von ihm eine Frau für ihn geschaffen, die Booby heißt. Mit ihr "zeugte" er bald einen Baby-Boo, dass die Bevölkerung der Majins schließlich schnell wuchs.
Die Majins werden auch in zwei Katogerien unterteilt, die Daimajin/Mighty Majin und die Imajin/Wonder Majin.
Die Mighty Majins sind fröhliche Majins, die den Gegner mit ihren Körper angreifen. Sie können zu sich zu Ultima, die Trompeten benutzen, um ihre Freunde mit Musik zu unterstützen und auch sie als Flammenwerfer benutzen können, und Granma, die speiseähnliche Keule als Waffen benutzen und ihre Gegner zu Speisen verwandeln können.
Die Wonder Majins haben sozusagen die dunkle Seite der Macht gewählt, denn sie sind aggressiv und sind darauf aus, ihre Gegner wirklich zu verletzen. Sie können zu Plasma werden, die die Macht der Natur benutzen, außerdem benutzen sie Trommeln, um ihre Freunde anzufeuern. Karma dagegen benutzen Tänze und Masken, um ihre Gegner einzuschüchtern.

Euch unterstützende Charaktere etc:

Piccolo: Tja, der Grünling lebt noch :D !!! Der wird euch im Laufe der Story unterstützen. Außerdem ist er Vorbild der namekianischen Kampfkunst.

Son-Goku: Kommt eigentlich nur in den Zeitmaschinenquest vor, wo ihr in die Vergangenheit zurückreist.

Vegeta: Siehe Kakarotto xD

Krillin: Siehe Son-Gokum außerdem hat er die Schildkröten Kampfschule reaktiviert.

Tenshinhan: Er ist der neuer Meister der Kranich Kampfschule.

Time Patrol Trunks: Es ist anzunehmen, dass er derselbe Trunks wie bei der Cyborg-Saga ist. Außerdem wird er euch bei den Zeitmaschinenquests leiten.

Die Bösewichte:



Miraa, ein Bösewicht, wurde in der Dämonenwelt höchstwahrscheinlich von einem korrupten Kaioshin erschaffen und hat im Jahre 2000 versucht, die Erde zu erobern. Dabei rekrutiert er Leute von Freezers Armee und der Red Pants Armee und versucht, in die Vergangenheit zu reisen, um Son-Gokus DNA zu stehlen, um damit noch stärker zu werden. Dende bittet daraufhin (Mirai) Trunks, dies zu verhindern und so entstand die Time Patrol. Euer Ziel ist es, die Pläne des Bösewichts aufzudecken und es mithilfe von Trunks zu verhindern.

Towa: Eine unbekannte Schönheit, die versucht, Son-Gokus DNA zu verstehen und die DragonBall Geschichte durcheinander zu bringen. Sie hat zwei Potara Ohringe, was euf einen korrupten Kaioshin hindeuten könnte. Außerdem ist sie in der Lage, Personen, die kein reines Herz haben, zu kontrollieren und manipulieren.
