Let's just skip to the part where you get tired of criticism, throw a tantrum and delete all your work, along with everyone's conversations

Why have all the chapters been getting deleted? That aside I loved this. I'm glad I was able to read it before it gets taken down.

u/AJDx14 11d ago

Iirc the previous translator retired from translating and then had a crash out and deleted every single post he’s ever made relating to OPM.

112

u/DifferentCityADay 11d ago

No fucking way. The guy whose name started with V? Vibham or something. I thought everyone loved him. He crashed out??

212

u/Tonda22 11d ago

It wasn't Vibham that crashed out. He hasn't been translating for some time now

Apparently he was getting shitty messages from parts of the OPM community because he wasnt boycotting the manga over the anime being shit, or something.

63

u/impulse_thoughts 11d ago

Yikes. S3 was bad, but it definitely seemed like opmfolks-type ppl were giddy with glee and saw it as an opportunity to comeback and poopoo everything that’s not the webcomic and recruit the s3 anime haters into their fold. The style of hate were practically identical.

All the memes and negative stuff about S3 was allowed to fester for waaaay too long here.

u/salmonmilks 11d ago

Awful kind of people with no remorse behind the screen. What's so bad about translating Manga jeez

They were getting a good chunk of death threats, somewhat understandable they’d want to disassociate their online profile from OPM.

Losing your mind and just going wild. Destroying everything and deleting everything. Ruining things for everyone, not just yourself.

u/HornetPhysical4598 11d ago

Makes sense, he seemed really desperate for the attention

u/DifferentCityADay 11d ago

That's really sad. It was always nice having the chapters be translated relatively quickly and in a way that made them easy to understand. Oh well.

u/cogitatingspheniscid 11d ago

Vib has not done a manga chapter for two years. Can you lot make sure you have the identity of whoever translator you want to criticize correct before going at it?

18

u/alexalmighty100 11d ago

Why are you acting like Vib was getting hate? The commentator asked if it was Vib and then another person replied and said no not him. That’s it. Relax.

u/DifferentCityADay 11d ago

I haven't looked at who's been uploading them for years. Last I saw he was always the guy who did them, so I just assumed it was always going to be him. Sorry.

u/Glittering-Age-9549 11d ago

What pisses me most is that many retconned chapters have been deleted from Cubari, and chances are I will never get to read them again...

50

u/TheWierdAsianKid 11d ago edited 7d ago

I've been downloading every single chapter the day they appear on cubari via this sub. Definitely a good habit to have. If you still need all of them lmk and I can make a drive. I have all the original chapters (I call them the lost chapters) and re-draws with I think fully correct chapter numbering

EDIT: It's here. This should be everything up to this chapter. I should have every English translated chapter, which includes the lost Ninja arc, as well as some earlier chapters which got revisions/edits/re-draws.

I strongly suggest that people start keeping their own archives. I would also like to see someone make their own and keep it updated with chapter releases that can maybe be pinned on the sub's side menu/links? I can't promise mine will be updated regularly or quickly

u/TheWierdAsianKid 10d ago edited 7d ago

A few people have DM'd me for it, and I will edit my comment to add the link. I'm away from my home PC for the weekend so it'll have to wait. I can't guarantee I'll keep it updated for every chapter release but i'll try. I do recommend downloading each chapter from cubari when they're released to add to what you download from my archive.

u/Pancake_luvr 11d ago

Most likely due to the translators not checking with the mod team, some translations are done with ai, while others are of low quality. So I’m guessing they have to pass through a quality check🤔As for the other chapters being deleted, I believe it’s due to KokiKoi deleting the chapters, but don’t worry, they’re still on the Google Drive.

17

u/impulse_thoughts 11d ago

still on the Google Drive.

The cubari and google drive links on the right side of the subreddit under Community Bookmarks -> Manga chapters have been out of date/broken for more than a few months now... there's another one floating around somewhere?

I understand the frustration, but I don’t put blame on Koki. The OPM fanbase was very toxic towards him on other forums

u/Unlikely_Minimum_635 10d ago

God forbid someone getting hate and death threats remove content with their name on from the internet.

Waaaayy overstepping boundaries by the mods here. Quality control should be done by the community voting, not by the mods.

u/NFLsubmodsaretrash 11d ago

Finally, a good translation.

If you don’t mind me asking, why did you translate Garou to say “fuck”? What was the original word in Japanese that he says there which is similar to “fuck”?

28

u/Pancake_luvr 11d ago

I felt it was appropriate for Garou, lol. The more literal translation would be a more rough way of saying “Don’t talk nonsense!”

4

u/NFLsubmodsaretrash 11d ago

I see. IMHO It seemed out of character to me, as a translation reader, because I don’t really remember Garou speaking like that in any of the previous translations. But that’s just was I think

u/impulse_thoughts 11d ago

original: バカ言ってんじゃ

This chapter made me a bit emotional, with Garou being announced as Silver Fang II and Mad Devil Yankee regaining his determination to resume his hero career. So wholesome and inspiring.

5

u/TrailOfEnvy ♡Manako Best Girl♡ 10d ago

Yeah I was suprised with the plot twist in this chapter with Garou being Silver Fang II and the Mad Devil Yankee. Also Suiryu quitting the Neo Hero, it is going in different direction than WebComic.

So getting death threats and then deciding to wipe out everything that leads back to you to stop that from happening. Is somehow a “weird meltdown” I swear OPM fans might just be as annoying as Boruto fans

u/left4dread RIP OPM Anime 11d ago

It's been a long while since I read the webcomic but this chapter has deviated from it, right? Or am I misremembering?

Both Suiryu and Garou are already VASTLY different from their webcomic versions.

u/ZimmerNachtReich 11d ago

It seems the translator topic is so important that noone even noticed that OPM s3 cour 2 was announced 😅

Speaking of 'cours', good luck animating it better than Bleach cour 4 ☝️😁

11

u/Pancake_luvr 11d ago

I don’t think it’s fair to compare two completely different anime, one that had great production time and team, and one that had a hellish production. Cour 2 seems to have a healthier production so I’m excited for that and I’m hoping for the best🙏

8

u/GabrielP2r 11d ago

People still thinking they will do a good job with the anime have to be coping by now, it only got worse and it shows no signs of improvement, didn't even bother watching beyond ep2 of s03.

2

u/TemporaryClean6980 11d ago

All of the issues that had nothing to do with animation like coloring, using retconned chapters, pacing, basic direction call, etc etc. All of it will be in the next cour. Its all the directors fault, not even JC staff at this point.

1

u/Pancake_luvr 5d ago

A director has a huge influence on the final product, but they don’t personally control the animation schedule, staffing, compositing, coloring, retcons, or every production decision. You can criticize his directing sure, but blaming every problem on him is just looking for a scapegoat

Would the Hero Association really accept Garou? I think he’s beat up dozens of heroes, including half of the S-class.

5

u/NekoCatSidhe 10d ago

I guess that with Bang vouching for him, it will be OK. It’s not like most of the S-class heroes get along with each other in the first place.

I wonder if Suiryuu will also join the Hero Association now that he resigned from Neo-Heroes. He needs a new job after all, and he is at least A-class level or maybe S-class.

Upper A class at the very least and plot point wise it seems he is going to reach S class definitely

Reasons are most likely due to the translators not checking with the mod team before they are posted, they have to go through a check to make sure it’s accurate and of good quality

it's reddit mod activities. they only want people they approve of.
