The Difference
Added 2023-03-24 11:22:56 +0000 UTC"You Seraphim think we're a big joke" To Me personally sounds so much more badass. And is so fitting for characters like Lucci and Kaku
"Those no good seraphim scamps" To me personally sound like they're afraid and feels so hesitant in this situation
The translation here makes a big difference personally to me on how you can judge characters.

2023-03-24 23:47:44 +0000 UTCSince Japanese has no articles like "a" and "the" in English, it'd be hard to tell what actually was said there. It makes sense that the official was less correct here by going with a "literal" translation. It's been a long time since I found any examples where TCB is more correct than the official, and there are multiple cases every chapter when the opposite is true. Exception proves the rule, as they say.

2023-03-24 23:45:21 +0000 UTCIf you want consistent translation and gags that half of the other translations miss then stick with viz. If you want translation that take more liberty, sound more natural and less consistent then fan translation is your option. I read both because most of the times gags are turned into serious conversation in fan translations. Recent example is ch1078 page 8. I like my comedy bits and viz is the best at delivering those to the reader.

2023-03-24 23:30:12 +0000 UTCNo, official is much more literal. Please don't say this unless you can read the Japanese.

2023-03-24 23:23:44 +0000 UTCWhat does the anime have to do with a translation being correct? The source material here is the japanese manga. When you compare it to that, the official is almost always 1:1 with the Japanese translation while TCB tends to change it a lot. OPScans is pretty good as well when it comes to accuracy.

2023-03-24 23:20:12 +0000 UTCRare Viz W. The problem with the official translation is that, while sometimes it makes stuff sound cooler, they take a lot of liberties and insert Western colloquialisms, which makes it harder for Khan to understand. TCB is a lot more literal, but still makes the dialogue sound good IMO.

2023-03-24 18:38:41 +0000 UTChow Ironically a lot of time the official is not correct cuz when the chapter got adapted in the anime they translated the same as the unofficial

2023-03-24 16:41:28 +0000 UTCFunny he says the official is better when on the same exact page the official translates “that would mean Vegapunk gave them their orders” implying the Stella, while the unofficial translated it as “A vegapunk” implying any of the vegapunks; Stella or satellites. It’s also a huge problem here because the official translation is further reaffirming his thoughts on it being “Vegapunk”, the Stella (despite all the evidence that would say otherwise) and it doesn’t allow him the freedom to consider other possibilities because of the restricting (and incorrect) translation.

2023-03-24 15:35:30 +0000 UTCBut the mods will try their best to let him read the official😂

2023-03-24 15:17:10 +0000 UTCKhan is begging his mods to tell him it's ok to read the fansub but they can't admit being wrong smh.

2023-03-24 15:12:14 +0000 UTCI think Kaku say the scamps thing though hahahahaha he’s kinda goofy in that way

2023-03-24 13:58:20 +0000 UTCloooool iba ur mocking it. Listen there may be a few exceptions here and there, but you make decisions based on majority not anomalies. A majority of the time Khan finds the official translation puzzling at times, that fact that most people thought the first one was tcb further reinforces that point. THE ONLY GOOD MOD IS STILL TRYOL. Jumbo is more useful than most mods at this rate

2023-03-24 13:57:33 +0000 UTCyou are boring fam, joke repeated again and again is not funny anymore you know that right?

2023-03-24 12:48:55 +0000 UTCSo the "no good scramps" one, though I agree doesn't sound as good, is actually more like what Kaku would say. Because he speaks like an old timer, which Luffy mentioned Waaaay back in Water 7, he is always saying old timer shit lol

2023-03-24 12:20:08 +0000 UTCRead the comments under his reactions, theres always some loud ones claiming the mods are forcing him to read officials and tcb is better. Clown energy is strong

2023-03-24 11:52:51 +0000 UTCShit i forgot to say which one is which lol, the joke one is official, which to me sounds so much better, the other one is the fan one, if that's what its called.

2023-03-24 11:47:50 +0000 UTCThe first one (big joke one) is the official

2023-03-24 11:37:14 +0000 UTCThis post almost sounded like TCB was the translation for the first one, but it's actually the official Viz one. You could think that he read TCB first and then read the official and said that he understood the official better. So I'm confused as to why he made this post lmao. Official is always the go-to for reading one piece.
Rug
2023-03-24 11:36:49 +0000 UTCWell, as MartijnK argued, it does affect Kaku's personality because in the original language he has a speech quirk. Of course this kind of stuff is very specific, so it won't trouble most western readers. But you have to respect how the official translation tries to preserve the author's intent as much as possible.

Negrinator
2023-03-24 11:32:31 +0000 UTCThe thing is that Kaku's speech quirk in Japanese is that he talks like an old man, the 2nd translation is trying to represent that quirk in English by using scamps. It's a stylistic choice but it's not wrong at all

2023-03-24 11:25:53 +0000 UTCGuys why Tf is Khan still not reading TCBScans translations? Now look I personally prefer the official translations but clearly Khan has trouble understanding a lot of the vocabulary they use and phrases. It’s no coincidence every time he sees a tcb colour panel he discovers something new. It doesn’t change the meaning it’s just written in a simpler way. Mods please do something, your lack of help is annoying most of the community. The only good mod is Tryol

2023-03-24 11:25:53 +0000 UTCWhich one is which translation ?
