This is pretty dark for Dragon Ball....

True. However, instead of being defensive whenever someone dares to criticize FUNimation, you should investigate the various criticisms.
I'm not even a dub fan, and I wasn't being defensive. But THIS SCENE is not affected whatsoever by it being dubbed, so I have no idea why it is even an issue.

I don't think you're an immature kid, but you are behaving that way.

Well, this is the best DB forum out there and it was created by fans of the original version.

Mike himself said that most of the fans here are dub fans. Hell, in Mike's blog, he quoted me saying that on the IGN Boards and he said I was the only person in that thread with my head on straight.

Whatever, I'm done - you're acting exactly like the stereotype of people here that other forums have of us.

I don't think my post was awfully horrible I legitimately couldn't watch the clip so I couldn't give my opinion on it and stated so clearly. I will admit a few posts were a little over the top with stuff like "OH MAN ANOTHER WIN FOR THE SUB, THE JAPANESE VERSION IS WAAAAY BETTER!" It did seem unwarranted.

However I find nothing wrong with asking for the Japanese clips of these scenes jjgp1112 it would be like you wanting a clip of the English version if everyone was talking about a scene from the "Big Green" dub.

Most English-speaking fans of DBZ are fans of the FUNimation dub so that's to be expected.

What I find absolutely baffling is that FUNimation fans are in the majority and yet many are insecure and defensive when someone criticizes the dub.

I actually wasn't going to say anything, but then I read that post, and that's what set me off.

I know I'm just posting a bunch of videos, but here's another one. It's in raw Japanese. This is one of the most popular scenes in Dragon Ball. I am talking about....

Vegeta's Nightmare.

Okay, that might have been a bit much when I said that. To be honest, I like both the Japanese and Funimation dubs. If I had choice between the two, I'd say I like the Japanese version more, but I still understand that there are fans of both versions here.

I understand that. If I had a choice, I would post both the Japanese and Funi versions to compare, but you have to understand that these clips are very hard to find on the internet.

I wasn't saying it was a dick move or anything, I totally understand Youtube is loaded with dub clips I was just explaining what watching the dub was like to me.

And you're acting like a HARDCORE DEE BEE ZEE ELITIST!!!!11!!!ONE! FUCK YEAH! JAPANESE VERSION ONLY!! FUNI IS SUPER GAYZERZ!

Why can't you just accept the fact that there ARE dub fans on this board, and that that scene being dubbed had NO impact on the actual content! Just mute that shit and watch the scene, the whole point was how graphic the animation was!

Well the dialogue can also be dark too. I don't see why you people are fighting though, both clips have been posted.

Yeah, I guess it is kind of my bad. I didn't mean to get sucked into the argument, but...I don't know it just kind of happened.

I officially apologize!

And to add on to that post, I'm only acting the way I am because you're (falseprophecy) are acting like a jackass to me, so how else do you expect me to react. I don't care if you say anything about the dub if it's WARRANTED or relevant to the thread, but after you're first post, all you were doing is making bullshit generalizations of dub fans and making accusations about me, and THAT's what I was responding to and THAT's what made me mad.

*sigh* Don't you dubbies even know what an elitist is? Oh that's right, you're mainly just 15-year old kids... :lol:

The only people who go around the internet typing like that are 15-year old children, you know, FUNimation fans.

I'm made aware of the fact that most of the forum members are dub fans by the repeated uses of "King Kai", "Guru", etc.

It's cool when your version of the show is being insulted you naturally feel the need to defend it. I understand that feeling. When you're arguing with someone relentless just roll your eyes and move on, that's what I do (or attempt to do anyway...I'm not great at it.) :D

It isn't even that I'm that big of a dub fan, I only like it because it was a part of my childhood. I totally acknowledge that the original version is better. I just don't see any reason to attack dub fans over their preference in entertainment.

There's another scene from episode 110 of DB.


When Daimao hit's Gokuu, his heart is beating then just stops. And his lifeless body hits the ground in the cold rain.
