These guys don't always have Japanese experience, and they take liberties to fit the audience and whatnot), so I wouldn't blame the actual translator in these cases.

Agreed completely. There are just some things that shouldn't be left out. This, as well as Vegeta's reference to Oozaru being 10x his power. In the original, there is even a 10 in the text when Vegeta is talkin to Goku about it. That was just, for whatever reason, left out. For the difference in the power between the Buu's it's kinda understandable, but Vegeta's quote should've been in the manga. That's why the original is always the significantly more accurate source with things like this.
