Get ready for TFS' scene in a few hours!
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Why do I get the feeling the TFS moment isn't going to be in this episode either...
Edit: Well, never mind then. This is gonna be hilarious!
So...wait...did they redub it or something?

They... just reused the recordings from the Z dub... What happened?

They didn't end up using TFS.
They just reused the exact dialogue from the Z dub. But man I still laughed hysterical anyway. "I am beaten!! ah."

Maybe Toei stepped in? This doesn't make sense. They were allowed to make references in dialogue, but wtf?

I heard abridged Krillin at the end of that

Maybe it'll be a DVD thing?

It definitely sounded like one of them. Maybe Toei forced them to redub it after the promo got the word out, but they didn't have any time, so they just reused the old recordings. Jesus, this really rustles my jammies.

The only TFS part they kept was Lani saying that disclaimer at the end. I am so confused.

The fact that they reused the Z dub audio makes me think that Toei stepped in. That really sucks...

Am I wrong for preferring they just used the old corny line from the Z version? The fact that Funimation made it terribly acted on purpose is what makes it funny

Someone ask Sabat. Something smells fishy here & not the cat's food that it loves from that Yamcha song either.

It took me a sec to realize it was the exact audio from the old dub. That means this was definitely a last minute change. What the hell happened? Is it going to be like this on the home video release too?

So I have realized that the 'Mondo Cool!' and 'His Power is Over 9000!' pieces from AS' preview didn't make the cut. What I didn't know is that it's a literal copy of the Remastered Z Dub. Interesting, so they must have had to cut it out. I assume TFS and Mr. Sabat will have to explain on Twitter later.

On the actual episode, I can personally confirm that Linda Young is still doing Baba's voice, since I thought she left after Kai. Redneck Idasa will never not be a fav of mine either, and Budokai Announcer is still doing well aside from a few voice cracks.

I have to say, the accurate translation and better acting makes things a bit more funnier. Piccolo getting concern over his 'green skin' and being told to not break the arena again while being treated so casually, as well as many of the side characters this episode.

I hope so. That scene is perfect in the Z dub as it is

I just asked Sabat through Twitter. We'll see what his response, or TFS' will be if they choose to make one. I wondered why it seemed poorly translated, since some things didn't make sense. I haven't seen the original Buu saga dub in years, so I forgot what it sounded like.
