or the avatar of Don Fua that he met during Zekka's attack that killed Anomaly, which Toji said "lived inside him."

A little confusing, I admit, but that's what I'd wager.

Well on the page where Trinidad surprises everyone, he mentions using the Sword of Damocles, don't know what it is yet anyways. We'll know eventually.

I'll be finishing the script later today.

Been pretty busy with work, I'll post what I've done so far. I'll edit and add the rest later.

page 1
Phase;76 Show it to the whole world.
Text: The walls to unprecedented achievements
Text: are there to be tore down!
TL Note: the literal translation is: The walls known as unexplored fields(or unprecedented discoveries/achievements) are there for us to tear holes on them. But reading the whole chapter the phrase comes from Toji's flashback, so I adapted the title & text accordingly.

Wasn't Don Fua dead? Is it some kind of ghost vision? Anyway i still have the same opinion, pretty pointless phase, there was not such a need to further develope Toji for a whole phase. Pretty curious about damocles sword too

@Kern (page 2): What a coincidence! A few days ago, i saw a documentation on TV, dealing with the stuff you mentioned. In fact Joe Kittinger could really be recognized as the first man in space, because he was 31.332 meters above the surface (just as you posted).
On TV they showed some original film material, it sure was a great view from up there. You saw the earth with a slight curve, above that the deep blue sky followed by the black space. Kittinger also did several parachute jumps from up there. Its an all-time record both in seconds of free fall and altitude until today.
In summary, Joe Kittinger and his crew are true heroes of pre NASA and pre space exploration- age, but no one knows them: every time, only month after their success, either Sputnik or Gagarin or Mercury program started, stealing their fame. But its a very interesting part of history...

My comments on translation:

phase_76
page 01 - are there to be TORN now! (verbal tense)
page 04 - I thought you, Jovians, had run home a long time ago... (comma usage, verbal tense).
page 05 - Chairman! Care to explain us the reason for this meeting! (exclamation mark required)
[Have I understood well, this is said by a Jovian, not by Fournier]
page 06 - In the history of the ZOTT, this is the first time… (missing comma)
page 11 - Alita, please, marry me!! (missing comma)
page 15 - Once more, I question my fist. (missing comma)
page 15 - HOW good is karate?
page 20 - Greaaat! (missing exclamation point)
page 21 - Toji… (missing ellipsis)
page 22 - However, everyone has forgotten... (missing comma)
page 22 - Everyone begins his life as a defenseless child! (EVERYONE is singular)
page 22 - Even Founder Don Fua started BY teaching homeless children making the Super-Electromagnetic Karate School what it is now!! 1. It is forbidden to place simple comma between subject and verb in ANY alphabetic language; 2. preposition usage)
page 22 - be proud of the title of GENOCIDE!? (GENOCIDAL is adjective; missing question mark)
page 23 - At THAT rate… (the action takes place in past)
page 26 - HOW vgood is this fist...
page 26 - HOW good is this Karate...
page 28 - Well said! (missing exclamation mark)
page 29 - Can this me become stronger? (the clause does not make sense)

I know I can always count on you Sergio

Come on and speed up everyone!! 73 -76 must be out this month!
Then after 4-5 years, we have finally catched up with the ultra jump releases.
We are so close now

Kamui04 · Post by **Kamui04** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:43 am

page 15 - HOW good is karate?
page 26 - HOW vgood is this fist...
page 26 - HOW good is this Karate...

Toji's japanese lines literally translates into the idiom "What good is ...", a short form or variation of "what's the good of...". It means "What is the purpose or advantage of". Toji repeats the same question many times: what good is my fist?, what good is karate?, etc. questioning the purpose of his fist and karate, not how good they are. If you aren't satisfied with these examples, search for "what good is..." and you'll find some examples of it's usage in english.

page 21 - Toji… (missing ellipsis)
Toji! exclamation mark is better in this line.

page 29 - Can this me become stronger?

By "this me", he's referring to what he considers his currently weak and sentimental self, compared to his strong self back when he was winning all those Karate championships.

Initially I understood that as a bad taste joke with haute cuisine.
But perhaps there is a pun with some sexual perversion, although I believe such things exist everywhere (especially in Japan, so he did not need to use French as models).

It's funny:
I have a brasilian friend who told me that in Brasil, french people were considered as gays. when he went and studied in France, his friends warned him not to become gay like french people.

And a Japanese friend of mine told me there was the same joke about french people in Japan. And now I see the venusians in GLO...
I'm french and I'm wondering:
do all the people in the world have this same joke about french?

Same thing here in Sweden. The gayest name we know in Sweden is the French name Pierre.
