How much "canon" did DB Kai cut out?
I know most of the filler is removed, but I also heard that some scenes that were in the manga were cut from the original anime? Does anyone know what they were and if there were a bunch of them cut out?

Re: How much "canon" did DB Kai cut out?
The only "canon" I recall being altered in any way was from the end of the Cell arc where King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory were revived along with everyone else wished back by the Dragon Balls in the Kai series finale. This is contrary to both the original anime where the wish only covered just the people on Earth and the manga where King Kai declined revival largely so that he could guide Goku around in Other World.

So in other words, just a minor change, nothing that hurts the story.Lord Beerus wrote:The only "canon" I recall being altered in any way was from the end of the Cell arc where King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory were revived along with everyone else wished back by the Dragon Balls in the Kai series finale.

Yeah, pretty much. Other than that, no "canon" as far as I know was cut from Kai.OWmyDragonBallz wrote:So in other words, just a minor change, nothing that hurts the story.Lord Beerus wrote:The only "canon" I recall being altered in any way was from the end of the Cell arc where King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory were revived along with everyone else wished back by the Dragon Balls in the Kai series finale.

Vegeta's hypothesis about half-earthling Saiyans possessing increased power was removed, as well as Kuririn's accusation of Piccolo wanting to eat Gohan. Also, the scene of those two wacko gunmen killing an elderly couple in the Boo arc was removed in at least the Japanese broadcast.

Re: How much "canon" did DB Kai cut out?
Actually, that's false. The fan-subs mistakenly translated Goku's like into something like "Kaio was brought back to life" instead of something like "I will have Kaio's company here", and at the same scene, Kaio's halo was barely visible because of the color of the sky. Kaio, Bubbles, and Gregory remain dead in Kai, like everywhere.Lord Beerus wrote:Yeah, pretty much.

James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Oh, really? The more you know, I guess. Thanks for the info, DBZGTKOSDH.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Actually, that's false.

Kai cut the scene where Goku reminds Kuririn and Muten Roshi that Kami-Sama said Shenlong cannot grant them the same wish twice. They had already been revived by the Dragon once before.

Re: How much "canon" did DB Kai cut out?
I'm just happy no highlights of the series were taken out. All these manga scenes taken out are just little to not important and happen very quickly.ShadowBardock89 wrote:DBZAOTA482 brought this up in another thread:

I am also wondering, wasn't the training on Kaio's planet with Piccolo and co. entirely filler? I could have sworn the part when they had to make him laugh wasn't filler??
