Yajirobe In The Vegeta Saga

[Yoshi]

How the hell did he know where Goku and Vegeta were even fighting. Did Kami and Mister Popo teach him how to sense Ki?

I dunno if this line is also in the Japanese manga, but it seems as though he can sense Ki. Doesn't seem all that farfetched when Kami said everyone who trained with him had surpassed him.

It's there.

もっ もも... ものすげえ妖気だ...... あ...あの化物の服...... サイヤ人の... ああいっサイヤ人なのか.........!?

According to Google Translate (surprisingly a lot better than the gibberish it used to spew out when you translate from Japanese), Yajirobe says:

M-m-m-m-what an incredible demonic aura... Ah...that monster's clothes...Ahh, a Saiyan...Ahh, is it a Saiyan...?!

I'm thankful for at least knowing how to read Hiragana and Katakana (even though I find myself confusing つ and っ ALL the time). Wish I actually understood it without having up use Google Translate (maybe one day). But, the takeaway is that despite some name changes and the occasional oddity, Viz did an excellent job adapting the manga to English.

Ki can translate to aura.

Yeah Google translation is doing a great job. I think this would be what he said more verbatim but it's the same thing

Yajirobe: "That... that's... an incredible evil aura...... Th...that monster's clothing...... It's a Saiyan's... Is it really a Saiyan.........!?"

Yajirobe use "妖気" (yōki) in his dialogue, which is typically translated as evil aura, emphasizing that he could not only sense chi but the malice it conveyed.

 

[ahill1]

The term Yoki also doesn't inherently mean evil, it can imply a sense of mysterious and supernatural as well. But in the context it seems more tied to a malevolent aura.

 

[RollBack]

maybe.

Of course Yajirobe can sense Ki lol

He noticed when the Saiyans arrived early

And could sense the Genkidama
