I've been curious, how did Toonami handle the end of the Invisible Man fight from the Baba Tournament? Because that required not one but TWO big no-nos for the edited dub

I remember there being surprisingly little censorship with Dragon Ball on Toonami.

They found a convoluted way to have him get sprayed with a can of tomato soup.

Quite a bit actually. Here’s an old Toonzone thread from when the end of the King Piccolo saga first aired on Toonami

The big one is they censored Goku killing King Piccolo even though the Z dub showed the exact same scene uncut in flashbacks on Toonami

Per the person reporting the edits

Well, here it is, ladies and gentleman. They couldn't end this story arc without one huge, gigantic, unnecessary cut. And that would be, of course, Piccolo's death. You see, Goku didn't just "magically fly up and defeat Piccolo" like the edited version would have you believe. Goku went through Piccolo's chest. Yes. He ripped a huge freakin' hole in his chest and flew out the other end. Wait, what's that? You... knew that already? Wait, how did you know they cut this? Oh, yeah! Of course, how could I forget? THEY SHOWED THIS SCENE COMPLETELY UNCUT SEVERAL TIMES IN FLASHBACKS THROUGHOUT DRAGONBALL Z.

For the longest time I assumed the tame dialog in the uncut dub was too make it easier for the edited dub but no dialog people wouldn’t think twice about in the uncut dub was too edgy and needed even safer dialog. And from what I gathered unlike Z the og Dragon Ball dub had a no blood policy.

Actually, I've always seen it the other way around.
Messi was the one who started with a handicap, much like Goku. His growth hormone deficiency is somewhat comparable to Goku being raised on a planet with only 1G. He had to overcome that disadvantage and work his way up just to reach the same physical baseline as everyone else, and still be called a midget, lol.

The whole narrative that Messi just coasts through his career without putting in any effort is nonsense. It mostly comes from people who have no idea what it takes to be not just a professional athlete but an elite one.

Also, more than anything else, it's their personalities that make Messi the Goku of the story and Cristiano its Vegeta, at least in my opinion. The Cell Games had Goku do what Cristiano won't do for the sake of his team: recognize when someone else is better suited for the job and step aside.

This post reminded me of this legendary edit lol

I'll say this. Hate the dialogue & performances all you want, at least FUNi dubbed the show uncut, then edited it later for TV broadcast so they future-proofed the dub at least for when they released it on DVD. Many other edited anime dubs from that time weren't so lucky, sadly.

Bloody hell, that edit is awesome, Arsenal dead on the ground as usual, Rooney as Reecoom. Cristiano rocks that fucking scouter.
