Saiyan section of Kai omitting manga pages?

Post by Storm » Sat Dec 14, 2013 12:48 am

I've heard before that the Saiyan arc in Kai has such a fast pace, sometimes parts of the actual manga are left out. Despite rereading the manga and rewatching Kai this year, I can't personally recall any such examples. So I guess the purpose of this thread is, a) making sure this actually happened, and b) if people can inform me of what was left out, specifically.

Only examples I know off the top of my head are when Raditz realizes his scouter was correct about Gohan, a line spoken by Goku when Vegeta boats about his true power ("Show me" or something), and one of Vegeta's lines was moved after he blasts Goku's shirt off. I can't remember the specific details of the latter, but I think his line about making it easy to dodge was spoken right after Goku dodges it in Kai, but in the manga and Z it was after they both landed.

Both Kai and the original anime omit the part where Vegeta explains why Gohan has so much hidden potential while him and Nappa are on there way to Earth.

Yeah, pretty much sums the show up right there.

They omitted the scene where Krillin says that Piccolo is going to eat Gohan and Piccolo denies it.

I believe they also ommitted the part where Goku is reminding Krilling and Roshi that they already died and can't be wished back. This is just after Raditz leaves and before Piccolo reveals himself.

Oh man, I forgot about that, and that was a great scene too. :lol:

I also just remembered right after Piccolo takes his weighted cape and turban off, there's a panel in the manga showing him with his gear off completely. This was a camera pan in Z, but the whole shot was removed from Kai. I know this because I was trying to make Kai versions of the pans of Goku and Piccolo with their weights removed. :(

I thought Z had that dialog about half breeds being stronger right as they were getting into their ships, which was removed completely from Kai. I don't have the manga of that section, so I might be misunderstanding you.

Isn't that page with Vegeta talking about the hybrids.. doesn't he call them something called "Super Saiyans?"

I think it was Nappa that suggested breeding with humans to create them... but yes. That term was used.

During the fight with Raditz, when Goku is inmovilizing Raditz and Piccolo is preparing the final attack, didn't they also omit the short dialogue in which Piccolo asks Goku why he doesn't grab Raditz's tail again, and Goku says that there's no point because Raditz can cut his own tail? I don't know why they removed that, without that line it doesn't make much sense that Goku had just grabbed the tail five minutes before yet doesn't even consider doing the same for the makankosappo. Then again, if he already knew that what was the point of grabbing it in the first place... Perhaps that's the reason they omitted it.

I'm actually quite surprised at how much manga was omitted during the Saiyan arc. Very interesting to see concrete examples of this happening too, and yes that scene with Krillin and Piccolo is priceless and should have managed to stay in somehow!

They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

I remember:
- Radditz asking to himself, if Kakarotto had forgotten his Saiyan pride
- Kuririn get up from Radditz attack, and then warning Goku about Radditz strength
- Radditz line, about how it is impossible for child, to have 710 BP
If i remember correctly, Kai Saiyan Saga editor was so bad, the fired him during Goku vs Vegeta fight (Worst part, was that random shot, with Chi-Chi lying on floor, she fainted in Z, but they cut that from Kai, but left shot of her lying on floor)
