Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
Did the French dub of Dragon Ball have these same edits? I ask because there's reason to suggest that the Blue Water dubs used the (pre-edited) French dub footage for dubbing purposes.
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
I thought the latin american DB and DBZ didn't have any censorship, but rewatching some DB episodes I realized that it was censored. Naked kid Goku not so much, but when Bulma flashes her panties to Roshi it was completely cut and the dialogue afterwards made no sense at all.

The AB Groupe Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z had all 153/291 episodes but they were censored here and there, such as they've cut off Freeza impaling Kuririn scene.TheBlackPaladin wrote:Did the French dub of Dragon Ball have these same edits?

Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
Well, it wasn't entirely cut. He was still impaled and you could see it. They only cut the most obvious shots.dbboxkaifan wrote:The AB Groupe Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z had all 153/291 episodes but they were censored here and there, such as they've cut off Freeza impaling Kuririn scene.TheBlackPaladin wrote:Did the French dub of Dragon Ball have these same edits?

Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
Kuririn falls into the water and then Gohan bursts angry at Freeza without any logical explanation, so they've cut the entire scene as the original that aired did not show Freeza impaling him. Let's not forget it's only 16 minutes long rather than the usual 19mins.

Gotta love it when their very first "uncut" DVD is not uncut on the English track.

Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
Maybe that's the rerun version? I know that reruns in France censored the series even more, sometimes making an episode fade to black and end when it was too difficult to edit.dbboxkaifan wrote:Kuririn falls into the water and then Gohan bursts angry at Freeza without any logical explanation, so they've cut the entire scene as the original that aired did not show Freeza impaling him.

However, I remember the Spanish version, which uses the first-airing French footage, showed it. Not uncut, as I said, but you could see how Freeza attacked Krillin, him screaming, the horn, and then falling. What they cut, if I remember well, was the shots of Freeza licking blood and moving him around while impaled.

Any kind of extensive edits like digitally adding underwear to Goku's lower body must have been done by the Ocean Group.TheBlackPaladin wrote:Did the French dub of Dragon Ball have these same edits?

Here are some shots from the last episode of Z
And a sign removing Satans name (the "Sa ta m" sign also appears to be edited?):

Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
I was wondering, how was Dr. Gero's death (When 17 killed him) handled by the edited original Funimation dub/Toonami broadcast? I remember in the Nicktoons broadcast, it skips 17 inhaling Gero's chest, cuts to 17 kicking his head off, while adding a flash-type effect in the process. I was wondering how the original edited tapes/broadcast compared to the Nicktoons version.

Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
Well, I don't know about FUNimation, but this is how Ocean did it.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
The first 13 episodes of Dragon Ball were edited a little bit differently on Toonami(US) than in the original Kidmark dub. See here: Dragon Ball: Pilaf Saga - Edit Lists
[spoiler]Picture 1: From what I remember of the Toonami broadcast, Goku didn't have underwear. The shots of him naked from the back were not edited, but when he would turn around a nearby object like splashes of water would be added or the whole frame would be zoomed in.
Picture 2: Goku lifting up Bulma's skirt was left in, but the frames showing her panties were cut.
Picture 5: Toonami recycled the Kidmark shot of Bulma with the dollar bills, but it creates an inconsistancy because it's the only time Goku has digital underwear in this version.
Picture 7: Bulma in the shower with glare on the window was cut from the Toonami airing.
Picture 8: Oolong does not find dragonballs under the blanket on Toonami. This shot was cut entirely.
Picture 11: Master Roshi's driver's license kept the kanji on the Toonami broadcast.
Picture 12: The panties on Oolong's head still had a pink ribbon and not a dragon logo.[/spoiler]

Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
I wonder why they didn't just market the show for teens and adults if so much censorship was necessary to market it for kids.

They did, at least with Z. They had uncut airings before adult swim was a thing, at it was definitely marketed towards adults.floofychan333 wrote:I wonder why they didn't just market the show for teens and adults if so much censorship was necessary to market it for kids.

Because it was marketed for kids in Japan but the standards for what is accepted for kids there is different from here.floofychan333 wrote:I wonder why they didn't just market the show for teens and adults if so much censorship was necessary to market it for kids.
Another thing is Toriyama, he was in his 30's so although the story was aimed at kids, it also applied to teens and adults cause the writer was an adult and he wrote something he could enjoy as well.

Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
Probably Toei wanted it air on a kids network since it was a kids show in Japan too. Toei mostly makes anime aim to kids expect for a few like Crying Freeman, 3x3 Eyes and a few others.floofychan333 wrote:I wonder why they didn't just market the show for teens and adults if so much censorship was necessary to market it for kids.

Re: Dragon Ball,Z,GT censorship thread
That Master Roshi card is hilarious. I dunno if I'd even consider that censorship, just bad translation I guess? The "Middle of Ocean" part especially makes me laugh. Or was the card some subscription to some perverted thing? I don't remember.

It's supposed to be his drivers license IIRC.
