So I was reading the DB mango because I started it last year while I was waiting for laundry, but never finished. So today I finally get to the transition point between DB and DBZ, decided to keep going for it. So we get to the Vegeta arc and I was really excited of course for the moment of truth...
Here's how it went down:
Nappa: V-Vegeta...What was Kakarrot's power again?!
Vegeta: *Crunches the scanner* Over...8000...
Nappa: 8000...?!
8000!!
We've gotten it all wrong this whole time. It was never 9000, not in the manga. And apparently there was a mistranslation on the anime script that lead to the "over 9000" instead of 8000 that they later changed in the DVD's.
And I just watched the episode in Kai and the original Z and the dialogue is exactly the same, with 8000 instead of 9000.
