Lol. Yeah, I don't think a lot of people did. Don't know why though, I mean, it's one of the few Bomberman games that actually has a lot of dialouge. :P
Here, here's all the relevant text in the game, as well as the Fiendish Bombers' speeches:
Spoiler:
Magnet Bomber: Bomberman!
How'd you find me?
So, Max told you?
That big mouth...
Looking for Max,
are you?
Hahaha! I, Magnet
Bomber, have
already taken care
of him!
You've got some
Karabons, huh?
I'll show you how
to use them!
P. Fangs! Show
your great power!
Aaaaaaaahhhh!!!
Pretty Bomber: Long time no see,
Bomberman...
I heard about you
from MagnetBomber.
Looking for Max?
Give it up!
Cuz I'm about to
take you out!
Ha ha ha ha!!!
Come here, P.Sea.
Show me your power!
What?!
Plasma Bomber: Welcome,
Bomberman!
You're after Max?
Forget it!
Think you'll win?
Think again!
P.Dragon! Your
power is mine...
PlasmaBomber's!!
Hahaha...
Golem Bomber: You've got some
nerve coming here.
Wanna see Max,
that bad?
What do you know
about him?
Do you know who he
really is?
Well... No concern
of mine!
You're fated to be
destroyed here
anyways... By me,
GolemBomber!
SeaWing! Your power
is mine!
Brain Bomber: What are you
waiting for, Max?
Complete the
weapon NOW!
----
....................
----
Bomberman? HA!
We're almost done!
Max, keep him
busy!
----
(Max) ...Understood...
Max: ...huh? Where
am I?...
Brain Bomber: The Ultimate
Weapon was...
almost completed!
Max! You are a
failure!
I have no use for
failures!
Max: BrainBomber! I'll
get you for this!
Bomberman! Let's
take this guy out!
If we both fight
him, we can win!
Max: Looks like we
wiped him out!
Thanks for finding
me.
Let's go back to
the surface!
Story stuff:
1 - Epsilon: You wanna hear the
whole story? Ok...
1 year ago, when
the meteors fell,
a strange tower
appeared. Fantasy
was attacked. Now,
monsters roam the
country. Emeralda
fled Fantasy and
came to Fairy
Palace. The guards
know more. I'd go
ask them...
Some guy came, who
looked like Max,
and the next day a
blizzard set in.
Then the bridge
fell down.
Now, Fairy Palace
is frozen over.
That's all I can
tell you.
2 - Fairy Palace (Soldier): Some years ago,
this planet was
attacked.
We soldiers joined
together and faced
the enemy.
Among us was a
blue-eyed samurai
who went by the
name of Max!
I wish Max were
here now!
Where is he now?
What is he doing?
3 - Plasma Base: Oh! Last week,
some cool guy
dressed in black
came here.
Yeah, his name was
Max...
He knew a lot
about this place
even though he's
never been here.
4 - Fairy Palace (Soldier): Long ago, a
soldier named Max
saved this planet
from destruction.
Maybe he was killed
in an explosion.
Or maybe he went
after the bad guys.
It's all still a
mystery!
Queen Emeralda
still waits for his
return...
5 - Fairy Palace (Soldier 2): We know who
attacked Fantasy
on that day...
They have been
here before.
They are...
The 5 Dastardly
Bombers!
They are still
alive!
We fought... Even
lost Max...
all for naught.
6 - Fairy Palace (Skinny Soldier): One of the 4 wise
men, Mr. Boo,
came back and left
a message for you.
Here's what he
said...
One day, we 4 wise
men got hold of
some info about
how to destroy
The 5 Dastardly
Bombers. There is
1 Karabon who can
beat them, so we
found that Karabon
and went into battle.
The info was fake!
The Karabons upped
their powers!
We were defeated.
...That's all he
had to say...
7 - Fairy Palace (Skinny Soldier 2): When the meteors
fell, Fantasy was
taken by the 5
Dastardly Bombers
We managed to
escape and removed
the medals to keep
them from following
us to the desert,
but they were
already there and
took the 4 medals.
That's why we came
to Fairy Palace...
just like so many
years ago...
But they were
there, too...
In the end, we
were stuck here
while they are
free!
Even though there
are still monsters
on this planet, it
is still our home.
Could you restore
Fantasy to us?
We're all counting
on you...
8 - Emeralda: Bomberman, right?
Nice to meet you.
I am Queen
Emeralda.
You have helped
our people.
I really
appreciate it!
We've been hit
hard, so I can't
give you much,
but...
Please take this
Karabon...
----
That's a medal!
How did you...?
Oh! Those medals
are the key to
open the road to
Fantasy.
Please retrieve
all the medals.
If you have them
all, we can take
Fantasy back
from them!
There are 4 Medals,
so 1 is missing...
It must be near
the volcano.
We'll open the
gate to the desert
that we used to
escape from here.
It's right near
Upsilon.
From there, go to
the volcano.
9 - Omega (man): Omega is the only
undamaged place!
Only for now,
though...
If we got
Fantasy back,
we'd know what was
happening, but
they say the one
holding it is...
BrainBomber!
He attacked here
before...
Leader of the 5
Dastardly Bombers!
Coldhearted, he
uses terror to
control both
friend and foe!
He and Max stabbed
each other before,
but the forces
of evil won!
10 - Omega (old lady): Max? Blue-eyed
Max?
I know him!
Ah, the memories!
You been to the
connecting cave?
Max thought that up
and dug it out
so that water
could be carried
to the desert in
time of drought.
He's a hero!
...or was...
How do you know
Max?
Oh? Different Max.
Sorry...
Not included: Ending text, and holo-Max speeches. Not sure why. I guess they just didn't really reveal much to the story. I did this last year some time, I think.

Oh, how I missed these discussions.
So did I. Lol.
Didn't we used to have some sort of theorizing topic? Or am I just making stuff up now?
Yes, we did. In fact, it was there that we began talking about manuals and found out many things, such as the names of the various bomber groups. Bomber Shitennou/Four Heavenly Bombers, anyone? A great topic, that was.
About this tidbit...
Pretty Bomber: Long time no see, Bomberman... I heard about you from MagnetBomber. Looking for Max? Give it up! Cuz I'm about to take you out! Ha ha ha ha!!! Come here, P. Sea. Show me your power! What?!
Why the surprise?
[EDIT]: I've been meaning to ask... is your avatar related to that project of yours?
Serkol thought it was because she turned into a huge, ugly octopus thing. But she hadn't really turned into one yet when she said that. So I don't know. Possibly lost in translation?

Do you mean this?

I've been doing a little dabbling in something else (in the way of graphics) unrelated to this particular game, and finally got somewhere with it a few weeks ago. As for the result, I'm not sure when I would ever get anywhere with it, so I'm keeping it under wraps for now...
Well, yeah, it is... But I don't really want to say anything about it (at least in public) since, like I said, I may not get anywhere with it. I don't like to talk about projects of any kind out in the open unless I'm sure that I'm going to finish them. But, due to the more different nature of this particular project, it may end up replacing the old one (acronym TB). They're both Bomberman-related, but this one might be more awesome. Even though the other one would still be kind of cool as well. We'll see. Time is a precious commodity, of which I am somewhat deprived.
Is this from the Japanese manual or something? Because it's not in the English manual, and not in the guide. Note how SB4-ish his body looks (being all tiny with long limbs). And the chin has been lengthened, sort of like back in SB2. Also, the emblem is huge, like Brain Bomber's is in the new art. Must have a very different artist now, eh?
The text (aside from "Magnet Dragon") says
変身前 - Before transformation
変身後 - After transformation
404? That's weird... Well, try this. I found it on a blog. I thought it was a blog from around the time the game got released, but apparantly it's from 2007, so I don't know. Scroll down a bit to the bottom of the post.
There should be others, at least Pretty Bomber (unless the other characters weren't shaded out in the Japanese manual as they are in the English one). Not on that blog though.
Ahahahahahahahahh... Wow... That is hilariously disturbing...

Horror has a new name.

Clearly this is the best possible response. Although I guess I could see more how a girl would like maleXmale shippings than vomiting... I mean at least the former logically -- Dear Angel of Light and Shadow let's stop talking about this. >_<
Yaoi is big in Japan, after all. But really, the Bomberman puking fetish is far more disturbing, in a number of ways.
Anyways, back to the topic... I guess nobody here owns Bomberman Tournament to scan the manuals, huh?
In other news, I really want HiTen Bomberman after reading Takahashi Meijin's blog posts about it.

You forget Dark Zaphe, we are talking of Brain Bomber here. So it's not simply male x male, it's regular male x creepy mad scientist with a bionic eye male.

Go to the bottom for the link. But really the guide has that content, and more. If anything, there are things probably cut out of the English manual, like the Fiendish Bomber artwork.
