Dragon Ball Dragon Box have redubbed part

Post by HakkaiBills93 » Sat Jul 06, 2019 6:22 am

Here is something interesting pointed by andiandi from somewhere else (and far more interesting dragon ball related things than all speculations about lot of things like vic mignogna or all the "what if" things related)
it's seems that the dragon box audios is a kind of "redub" on some part and that the original broadcast have differrent lines

for example in the z 269 here is the Vegito original sentence
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dq7Pxv ... 8_d1D/view

and here what you can hear in all regular japanese version from later
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FYXL6p ... nnFut/view

so japanese dub suffer from some kind of "redub" too on some part, maybe there is other things but it's a things that show why it's important to preserve the original broadcast audios as for the audio quality but also for all original lines

If this is indeed real and not a hoax, then that brings up the question of when exactly the second audio was recorded.

As for why it was recorded, my best guess is that maybe they lost literally every single source of that clip and had to redub it. Why they changed the dialogue is beyond me.

it can be an error in the dub or something they wanted to change, in french dub you have the same things where each "berdock" became "baddack" (they also did change in the sentence but it was the main reason as it affect z movie 5 and 8 only in those two part)

but it's interesting as i allways heard that Master audio was thrown away after the original run but it surely didn't have been done immediately

One thing I wonder is whether the broadcast version is the redub, but that was only pressed to the master tape at a very late stage in production, leaving the optical track stuck being the original, incorrect, pre-redub line.

... I'm curious, anyone know what exactly the two different lines mean? They sound pretty different, so I'm kinda curious. If possible, it'd be nice to have some of the surrounding dialogue too.

kei said (without translating) that it's probably cause the BA original dub lines could be an offense to amputees

as ALL releases except the BA have the redubbed line, it's the reddubed subs , impossible that it can be the BA one, also , after some check it's the only alteration line in the BA at least for Z

Yes, I know.
I was just curious to compare what the optical line was in comparison to the literal translation of the broadcast line.

But note that we don't know which line was the "redub".
It's possible the line was originally what we hear on the optical, but was redubbed to the master tape at the last minute, and then when the master tape was thrown out, the change was lost.
This would make some sense, since Funi's film is release prints, and Toei's film is the negatives, so any changes made after the initial broadcasts would probably not be present on those film sources. It would be really weird if they were.

Just speculation on my part, of course, but worth considering; we don't actually know which way around this is.

In the final chapter, it use the almost the same as dbox one so the dbox is the redub
anyway the original sentence could be an offense to the amputees so it take more sense that Toei remove this line to the regular one talking about dai kaioshin potaras

Hard to say either way in that regard; it's likely that, either way, any record of the broadcast line is either gone from Toei's archives, or at least beyond the scope of the base-level quick glance Toei likely embarked on when looking to make Kai.

However, if they went back to the original production scripts for the show when doing Kai, it would likely not count last-minute redubs added after the initial broadcast. So... Hard to say.

IDK. I don't particuarly take issue with either line, I'm just interested about the behind the scenes details on it.

I've read that mittomonai meant originally some thing you didn't want to see and is used when something is very impolite, so I'd make it indecent/disgraceful/shameful.

I agree with the rest.

Interestingly enough, the English Z dub's line here suggests it was translated from the original broadcast version. The Kai dub obviously goes with the second version.

It was most likely changed shortly after the episode aired.

A similar incident happened with Dororon Enma-kun episode 24, back in 1974. The episode title used the term きちがい (kichigai), which is discriminatory against people with mental illnesses. Reruns, and the home video release changed it to くるった (kurutta) .

Great find, also agree it was probably changed shortly after airing as it ended up as (optical) audio on the Dragon Box. This, if anything, exemplifies the importance of archiving (and of course, sharing). Looking forward to more discoveries like this.
