This DBZ Anime Mistranslation Was So Bad It Even Made It Into the Manga

When Dragon Ball Z first became popular, it was simply seen as an exciting action cartoon, not as part of a larger story universe. Because of this, the English translation often made changes to dialogue and plot without considering how it fit with the rest of the Dragon Ball series. This led to several noticeable errors, especially in the show’s early arcs. One example is particularly frustrating because it alters character relationships, removes satisfying moments of growth, and even appeared in the translated manga published by Viz.
