Deep Thoughts: The Piccolo Daimao Saga

Tambourine also implies the father bear was dead in episode 106, contradicting the sounds and movements he was making (even in Funimation's dub) that made it clear he was alive and was merely hurt by Tambourine.

Unless i'm mistaken, i seem to recall the edited Toonami broadcast of FUNi's dub of this episode using different lines in the above scene.

Apparently the edited dub changed "Giran was a job, your father I killed for fun" to "Giran was a job, your father I did for fun"

Not surprising since I'm pretty sure Toonami had a strict "no saying the word kill" policy that only DBZ seemed to be allowed to break and only sometimes.

YYH got away with it too when it got moved to Toonami, but it was really enforced on the Bandai shows like Gundam and Outlaw Star. sometimes it would be replaced with "destroy" but oftentimes they would replace "kill" with something else that seemed to imply non-lethality.

Even in Z though they weren't forced to do things like the infamous "next dimension" cover up like the syndicated days under Saban's S&P policies anymore they still couldn't say kill or die during the Toonami run except for rare exceptions.
