Hey all, had this idea for a Topic so I thought I'd post it up.

If you're a fan of the Original Japanese version. Which scenes do you prefer in the Funimation Dub?

And if you're a fan of the Dub. Which scenes do you prefer in the Original JP Version?

In the original dub of DBZ, I like the scene with Yamcha in the ballpark better then the Japanese version. But thats about all I can think of off the top of my head.

But is it me, or does this topic come up every other month?

Gotta talk about something in between the 7,000 different releases of the dub, right?

I don't think I've seen it in Japanese, but I like the dub scenes where everyone pokes fun of Vegeta's Bad Man outfit. (the pink shirt/yellow pants/green shoes) X3
Oh, and Saiyaman's "superhero" voice always cracked me up.

I loved the Japanese version of the "inside Buu" mini-arc. Actually I liked just about everything involving Ryo Horikawa's Vegeta.

Basically, all of Mr. Satan's scenes in Movie 9 were totally more awesome in the dub.

Got many, but will say in Cell Games prefer the Japanese version of Gohan going SS2, and prefer Cell's death in English.

And loved the Dictator scenes in English. You can tell Mr. Sabat had fun with that.

When Goku gets the old driving instructor and he's just complaining the whole way to the car about his back. I was laughing madly at it.

The Cell games blimp film at the Tenkaichi Budokai in the Boo arc, Funimation did a great job with it.

Vegeta's "I wish I were him" cracks me up every time.

I'm pretty mashed up regarding dubs, given the 3 different dubs we got here in the UK.

However, I think one of the times that the FUNi dub performed really well was the beginning of the Android's saga. When Yamucha is stabbed through the chest by No. 20, the dub cut the music for a second, allowing the audience to hear an echoing sound effect of the hand moving through Yamucha's body before breaking out his back. This made it much more eerie and in some ways the Androids appeared more ruthless without the "dun dun dun" music.

And along with this, I also prefer the beginning of the next episode, when everyone is running around the city. The dub has a fast paced piece of music that heightens the tension, whilst the Japanese original is just silent. Usually I prefer this, but given that it's about a main character dying, I think heightened tension was in order.

Oh, and I so desperately prefer the Japanese version of Gohan's SSJ transformation.

I liked Goku transforming into a Super Saiya-jin just before the #19 fight.
Schemmel pulled off a pretty good scream there.

Vegeta's Final Flash on Cell. For a scene with that much tension (and with such a big clash of raw power), the japanese originals relative silence just didn't fit for me. In the dub they played a couple of more tolerable Faulconer tracks, and I think they complimented the scene fairly well.

Any scene with #17, I just think Chuck Huber does a great job as him.

I agree, that was hilarious. Waves and rocks!

Oh yea #17 again I just remembered how awesome Chuck Huber is in History of Trunks.

When he is running everyone over in the car, he is saying 'OH SORRY, OH OH NOT REALLY' made me laugh

He seems to let loose with Hiro in Shin-chan, his other roles all seem funnier now. I remember him doing an Airplane! joke as Pilaf.

"And don't call me Shirley!"

It's only funny in Airplane!, Dragon Ball, and The Office.

He's playing Môji the Lion Tamer in One Piece now too, I can't wait to hear it!

Vegeta's wrath in the ocean dub when he discovers that Gohan took his Dragonball on Namek.

At first I was a fan of the Funimation dub, but I liked these japanese versions of these scenes so much that they converted my to the japanese version! They are amazing!

The scene where Piccolo takes Nappa's blast and gives his life so Gohan can live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNqoQTi963U

The scene where Goku kills Kid Buu with the Spirit Bomb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtHnQvuSiZw

Vegeta's "Wrath" when he discovers Kurririn and Gohan still had a Dragonball-Ocean Dub
Mr.Satans Fake Cell games blimp thingy- Funi Dub
Freeza talking with the Namek elder (he cranked out some awesome one liners.)- Ocean Dub

Most scenes with Buu, Muten Roshi, or Baba. They just sound that much more fitting in English.

I cant watch the english dub anymore.

Faulconer's music gives me a seizure
