Volumes 102, 103, 104, and 105 in English, with slightly altered Viz translations. Used Phantom Greyfire’s (PZG) release as a base, they are an absolute wizard.
I guess I kinda lied about the last volume being my last, but these aren’t complete polished releases like previous volumes, these are just quick translation fixes that I did for my own personal use that I thought others might benefit from. I didn’t fix the character and recap pages because those take forever and aren’t fun. But the usual Viz translation fixes are here. I also reverted most of the VLT changes back to Viz as a personal preference.
And I finally admit defeat on Rubber Rubber, and you’ll likely be happy to know that I left all of the Gum Gums in tact. I still stand by my reasons for going with Rubber Rubber in the first place, but I realize it’s a losing battle, and I’ve made my peace with it. And anyway, do you think I enjoyed going out there into the real world and getting looks every time I called it the Rubber Rubber fruit in casual conversation? Of course I didn’t!
(And yes, obviously I know the etymology of the Japanese word, the loan word from Dutch, and all that, but the average English speaker does not, and therefore I don’t think it’s a strong enough justification for Gum Gum, but I digress. As I said, I’m cool with Gum Gum now.)
Not sure what I’m going to do moving forward, but at least this is here for those that want it.
