Ch3 TranslatedNot bad. The translation from Google was a bit choppy, but I was able to understand it. Conqueror Geng where did you get from the chapter that GSK is part of Buu when he's telling this part of the story? Uh... Fat Buu's whole existence and evolution into Super Buu and then Zen Buu? GSK is the main reason Buu can speak and talk normally. I didn't mean he was part of Buu at this current chapter. More that he eventually and inevitably would, which makes his "empathy" for him all the more poignant.

First official translation of the Buu novel has been released in English language: www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/fanfic_u4_en/chapter-1.htmlOne very nice tidbit (among many others): Anyway, the offspring of that wizard, Babidi, told me his father had created me. All I know is that before reaching perfection on Earth via many absorptions, I was nothing but a fat, fluffy balloon that followed the sorcerer’s orders — so long as he continued stuffing me with cake of course. Before that I shudder even more, as I was a mindless child whose only thoughts were to destroy absolutely everything in sight.
What an immeasurable idiocy, to destroy everything when there’s so much to do, to have fun and enjoy life!
That, and to become the most extraordinary fighter; I was destined to possess a power greater than all other beings in the universe. And yet, my beginnings were ultimately a failure, I was but an irritating and manipulated kid. My time spent as a huge hot air balloon, still with barely any intelligence, was hardly better — Babidi barking his doltish orders at me. Fortunately, I soon met the Earthlings and the Saiyans, and my life took on a whole new meaning. I think those two paragraphs (along with other info) sum his morality pretty well.

Chapter 4 is here! Most of it is about the fight with the Supreme Kais but some key points: -Bibidi should've just dealt with Buu instead of sealing him and getting sniped by Kibito -Kibito doesn't exist AT ALL in U1 nor U10 from this line "as a sign of the universe that came to lend a helping hand" -We finish up the "Pre-Z" Buu story and move on to the Buu saga era

And that despite the fight was retconned a bit (from the filler) Fat Kai was still powerful enough to hurt and threaten an opponent as strong as 2 SSJ3s. Another interesting retcon here is that it was South Kai who gave him the ability to speak. I wonder if there are going to be retcons in regards to Gray Buu and Super Buu too?

"I'll just wait for the english translation" Jim says. 38 FUCKING DAYS UNTIL CH2???? HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL NO! So google translate huh? Kool....... edit: So here I am reading ch2 through google and I came across this "The northern one was the oldest, after the Grand Kaioshin. He was wise and respected, and was one of the greatest existing swordsmen." You're tellin me that StacheKai is many millions of years old and he hasn't definitively claimed greatest swordsman? Sheesh.... edit2: AND he can't whistle? What a shit cunt! LOL oh yea, he tried that and failed against KP didn't he? Pissa. edit3:So Kid Buu is a chick? Didn't see that coming. edit4: Now Kid Buu is a bloke? Silly google translate..... Well that or buu is a transthingy. lol, even west is called a he. WaifuKai confirmed trap! edit5:"Grand Kaioshin stepped back and crossed his arms, not wishing to get involved." God damn it you fat lazy fuck. Ghandi ain't got shit on this prick..... edit6: "the chubby" LMAO! edit7: Google translate made things difficult/amusing but all in all I'm enjoying it. Can't wait for later chapters.
I still can't wrap my head around non-divine beings having a life span of over 5 million years but that's my problem.

I think we might skip over the Buu Saga up to the deciding point that separates U18 and U4. U4 is actually the last divergence path from U18 among the 20 universes.

Idk, maybe we're gonna get at least a chapter dedicated to Buu's encounter with Mr. Satan, his first friend that didn't want to kill him, or definitely his encounter with Son Goku, one of the absorbees that influenced him to enjoy the planet Earth. A recap to when he gets first released from his sphere of solitude is necessary for the story to feel organic, at least in his perspective. Otherwise it's gonna be Buu breaking the fourth wall going "you know this part already."

I think we might skip over the Buu Saga up to the deciding point that separates U18 and U4. U4 is actually the last divergence path from U18 among the 20 universes. I think only High School Gohan, Great Saiyaman, Tournament, PuiPui, Yakon, teaching fusion, etc will be skipped (since Buu did not witness any of that). The jump will be when he faces Gohan and Shin, and then Majin Vegeta. Then Goku. Then he finally kills Babidi (no way they skip over this) Then Gotenks. Then Mr Satan... This is all very important for Buu's development and evolution. Especially what comes next... Super Buu is born (which is still the base of Zen Buu psyche-wise, more than the Fat Buu or Kid Buu forms are). This is the first Buu that speaks all coherently (though I know he did not in English dubs) and that deliberately started absorbing people voluntarily. The damage Fat Kai did to his brain and PL was undone. Then he absorbed Gotenks and Piccolo, then Gohan, then Vegetto.. I'm sure there will be some degree of detail given to that too, specially all the internal changes seen through Buu's perspective. I think this should take 4 or 5 chapters more before we get to the actual diverging point (which was the special from 2015). I think that'd take other additional 2 chapters. I do hope and expect it to include a certain degree of compression, otherwise it may get unbearably long to go from Fat Buu to Vegetto.

I honestly expect his encounter with the Saiyans to be quite extensive.

Conqueror Geng , you make a great point and I hope/think that it will happen that way too, but I also see it as a very, very slim possibility happening this way too: Otherwise it's gonna be Buu breaking the fourth wall going "you know this part already."

To be honest I hope it's something in the middle. Functionally we're both right: -Buu saga is too DAMN long -Yet most of it is very relevant to Buu's change of worldview and evolution -Repeating all of Buu saga in text would be kinda boring -Yet it's still necessary, otherwise we'd miss key moments from Buu's perspective I do hope it's kinda compressed but key moments are still narrated. All the imperfect Gotenks' fights and Time Chamber things will be boring as hell, for sure. As will be Buu and Babidi randomly blowing shit up. I hope they skip the whole Z sword thing too.

Agreed. I also think it should be compressed.

Agreed. I also think it should be compressed.
I think at the very best those situations must be detailed: -Buu's awakening -Majin Vegeta -Meeting Goku for the first time -Killing Babidi -Meeting Mr Satan -Super Buu is born -SuperBuu/Gohan/Buutenks fight (Gotenks/Piccolo is absorbed) -Vegetto and Buuhan fight (absorption of Gohan)
Then after this, all would already be material from the previous special (Insides of Buu). After it is finished we'll likely get new material and the tapion special (and hopefully after it). The history of Buu is more complicated than that of Vegetto in regards to space, timeline and pace. Buu's awakening and Majin Vegeta should happen quick in a single chapter. Maybe two. Meeting Goku and killing Babidi should happen in just 1. Meeting Mr. Satan and Super Buu should happen in 2 at best. Gohan fight should be pretty long so that's at least 3. Vegetto mostly curbstomped Buuhan and was elongated with filler so hopefully that's only half a chapter. So in around 8-10 months we will be over with Buu saga.

Chapter 2 is out! It covers how Bibidi created Buu and needing to find an ancient spell book. There were some theorizing in the comments that XXI may have written that book. That would be an interesting way to relate the two most powerful and oldest magic users in DBM.

New episode is up in French language. I did really not like the weird format of this episode, and how it seemed to repeat itself at the end, but for what is worth, this chapter managed to compress a very good chunk of the Buu saga in just one release. The entire tournament and highschool Gohan were skipped, so were the first encounters with Gotenks.
Majin Vegeta, almost killing SSJ2 Gohan and Shin, killing Babidi, meeting SSJ3 Goku, meeting the Blind Kid, meeting Mr Satan, releasing Evil Gray Buu were narrated really really fast and as a result seem kinda trivialized. It seems next episode will kickstart out of Gotenks battle inside the ROSAT.

Hey, guys, sorry for the erratic updates to the U4 novel. I've finished translating chapter 3, but haven't even started on ch 4 yet. I'll get on it soon, but wrapping up a few things at work and then I'll have more time. I'm going to try to keep on pace with the french if I can, the author and I haven't talked much lately though. Glad for those of you enjoying it so far.

Glad for those of you enjoying it so far. You're doing a great job thus far. We usually google translate them when they're released in French but as you know some things go missing and others just read funny, so it's very appreciated when someone who knows the language does a precise translation.
