Are there any major differences in the dub track between the blue bricks and the singles?

Aside from the switch from stereo to 5.1, do the Dragon Ball season sets contain any changes or mistakes on the dub track when compared to Funimation’s original “saga” sets. For example, it’s pretty well known that the orange bricks have new recordings, missing vocal effects, wrong takes, additional dialogue, and missing Faulconer Productions tracks (problems made even worse on the Blu-rays).

I own both the season sets and “saga” sets, but I haven’t really gone through them with a fine tooth comb. And there doesn’t seem to be any major, obvious issues with that mix that stick out the way the changes to the Z dub do. I mainly watch in Japanese anymore, but I like to have the dub for casual viewing and I’m not sure which set to keep in my collection (Now that I think about it I wonder if GT has any similar issues)

The wikia claims the Blue Bricks removed the voice filter on Manwolf but unless I own a later edition that fixed that, it's a load of horseshit as the voice filter is still there.

I feel like I remember there being narration in the beginning of episode 9 at least in the Toonami broadcast version? In the Blue Bricks there's just the music playing for the first minute before Bulma and Oolong start talking. Anyone with a better memory or owns the Madman release of the Saga of Goku could confirm maybe ?


But otherwise no I don't think so. Original Dragon Ball's dub gets the honor of being the least altered in its remastered releaase from its original release.

I want to say there are some, but unless your looking really hard for them the differences between the single DVDs/saga sets (which was what aired on Toonami) and the blue bricks are very hard to notice. There are that few compared to the Z dub (which even then the majority of fans don't notice).

I don't think anyone has ever done any sort of mathematical analysis for how similar or different the various "remastered" dubs are from the earlier home releases, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Z dub was 80-90% the same and original Dragon Ball was closer to 98-99% identical.
