Is the snipers shooting the old couple in Kai?
Watched Kai up until the end of cell but wondering if the Kai version of the Buu saga censors sons of the darker scenes of the original show like when smitty and van Zant kill old people with a sniper
Re: Is the snipers shooting the old couple in Kai?
I'm sure it was kept due to its importance to the story and how the whole stuff with Buu plays out. But I don't know if it's censored or not. Something to keep in mind is that there's two versions of Kai (Japanese version, The Final Chapters international version) so the scene may have been different in each version. If I'm able to, I'll come back and confirm whether or not it's censored or not. That is, unless someone else answers your question better.

Re: Is the snipers shooting the old couple in Kai?
Thanks I skipped through the episodes that it would be in and it seems they left it out and they instead make their firs appearance shooting the dog, but I'd appreciate confirmation maybe I just didn't see it.mecha3000 wrote:I'm sure it was kept due to its importance to the story and how the whole stuff with Buu plays out.

I'm fairly sure the two versions had become identical at that point.mecha3000 wrote:I'm sure it was kept due to its importance to the story and how the whole stuff with Buu plays out.

Actually I think they removed that scene. I remember when the episodes were first coming out, and I'm pretty sure it was removed. (Japanese version)

Re: Is the snipers shooting the old couple in Kai?
It's the same thing with "final chapters", the only difference is seven episodes in the beginning and 1 filler episode towards the end, everything else is the same, that scene is removed from both versions.Nex Carnifex wrote:Figures, original version it isMajinMan wrote:Actually I think they removed that scene.

Re: Is the snipers shooting the old couple in Kai?
Oh, my bad. I was dead wrong, but that scene seems so obvious to keep that I'm shocked it got removed. Oh well, still looking forward to seeing the Buu Saga of Kai.Kuririn Fan wrote:It's the same thing with "final chapters", the only difference is seven episodes in the beginning and 1 filler episode towards the end, everything else is the same, that scene is removed from both versions.Nex Carnifex wrote:Figures, original version it isMajinMan wrote:Actually I think they removed that scene.

Re: Is the snipers shooting the old couple in Kai?
Them shooting the dog is obviously still there, as it's a major plot point. Shooting the old couple on the other hand was probably removed.

Re: Is the snipers shooting the old couple in Kai?
Damn, I misread your quote. I thought you meant the scene where they shoot Bee. My bad. Yeah, like everyone else had said, it's likely that scene was cut. The DBZ anime was notorious for its use of filler and it wouldn't surprise me if that scene was taken out for Kai.Nex Carnifex wrote:Watched Kai up until the end of cell but wondering if the Kai version of the Buu saga censors sons of the darker scenes of the original show like when smitty and van Zant kill old people with a sniper

Thing is though, I don't think the old couple getting shot is filler. I'm fairly certain it was in the manga, wasn't it?

Correct. It's in chapter 483.Gyt Kaliba wrote:Thing is though, I don't think the old couple getting shot is filler. I'm fairly certain it was in the manga, wasn't it?

So it was censorship, interesting. Guess it was too morbid for current Toei.Gyt Kaliba wrote:Thing is though, I don't think the old couple getting shot is filler. I'm fairly certain it was in the manga, wasn't it?

Is it filler? If so it's probably not in kai for that reason. If it's not filler then it's probably in the uncut dvd edition but not on TV since it's a Saturday morning kids show.
Re: Is the snipers shooting the old couple in Kai?
Wait, really? They actually cut this scene? What episode should this have been in so I can check the original threads?
That's pretty huge.

Looks like it would have been Episode 133.Cipher wrote:Wait, really? They actually cut this scene? What episode should this have been in so I can check the original threads?

Thanks. Curious about the international version now, although it was already the version airing on Japanese TV at that point, right?VegettoEX wrote:Looks like it would have been Episode 133.Cipher wrote:Wait, really?

Wow wow wow. That's such a bummer. I get that it's a little intense for a 9 a.m. block, but it's a pretty big moment for the arc.

Re: Is the snipers shooting the old couple in Kai?
Meh the score for Buu saga Kai is really really really bad especially in the face of the classic original soundtrack. Yamamoto's score on the other hand was a huge upgrade too bad it got canned. Tried watching the Majin Vegeta fight in Buu saga Kai and the score just made it unbearable to sit through completely killed the tension would have been better if it was just silent.Cipher wrote:Thanks.

Re: Is the snipers shooting the old couple in Kai?
I don't know why we're talking about this here, but I find Yamamoto's score unbearably generic and obvious, so, you know ... subjectivity and all that.Nex Carnifex wrote:Yamamoto's score on the other hand was a huge upgrade too bad it got canned.
