Found this on Viz's website, and I found it interesting that they plan to sell copies of the magazine yet also post its contents on the web for free..

Not only is it free, you get to read it from the start, and have an awful sterile translation of the whole thing. Its a winner! ;)
Wow this is cool. So you're saying I actually waste money from buying Shonen Jump?
;)

Not so much incorrect, they just arent direct translations, they've just 'altered' the names and the grammer to 'suit' western audiences.

I still like that the magic hentai fairies brig it to me from Japan. Don't ask how.
but...its...wrong...
kage bunshin doesnt make multiple bunshins. so multiple dopplegangers != doppelgangers(but more of them)
they are, in fact completly different techniques...even the type of technique is different
since bunshin makes illusions, its genjutsu, but since kagebunshin makes real things, its ninjutsu, they are incomparable
um.. u know that they don't give you all the chapters???
they only give u enough, so u want to find out whats nex, so you will buy them!!

Its not really wrong, its just misleading. A doppelganger is a copy of a person. The problem is that they havent bothered to make a distinction between real-bodied copies (kage bunshin) and illusionary ones (bunshin).
This is a bit of a cock up, and its gonna cause quite a bit of confusion when it gets to the Forest of Death.
