DBZ Kai Credits Inquiry

[MarioSonicU]

When I saw the Kai dub, I noticed that the TV dub referred to it was "Reversioned", while Kai TFC was a "English Version", and Super was an "English Localization". I'm a bit confused because, didn't FUNi forgo the whole "reversioning" phase that was present in the Original trilogy (Original DB, Z, GT, and the movies (except for 1, 2, and 8 in terms of script).

"Reversioning," in this context, was just a term they came up with, and it doesn't mean the same thing to us that it does to them.

They were new to the dubbing industry at the time they came up with that term, and just didn't think to use the terms "English Version," or "English Localization." Fans have since come to think of the word "reversioning" as meaning "unfaithfully dubbing a show or movie," but to them, it just meant, "doing an English dub." I really don't think much thought went into their word choice there, that's just the term they came up with and, for whatever random reason, decided to stop using.

Reversioning is in reference to Kai, though, not the original Z anime.

Right, but what I was saying is that just because "reversioning" to us fans means "dubbing something inaccurately," to FUNimation it was just the term they used to describe doing an English dub, and could be considered interchangeable with "English Version" or "English Localization." Hence the reason it was used for both DBZ and Kai.

Nah, they must have just re-worded their credits between editing each version. They also stopped the stylisation of FUNimation. I'm pretty sure One Piece's credits go through similar changes to how Funi words their credit.

Hmm, I wonder, since the edited version is using the older "FUNimation" stylization, do you think this means that the edited version was actually put together before the uncut version was?
