I don't think I've ever seen a character completely edited out of a scene before. o_O

I'd thought they'd have painted over her, but it looks like they cut out every frame she was in in that first link.

That definitely is pretty strange...but not really if you put it into political context.

That is some crazy editing. I dont think I've ever seen that before, in any dub of Dragon Ball

That said, this is pretty rare.

I was thinking of that the whole time I was reading this too <_< Poor Ranchi. Course she ended up getting cut out of the original version too, poor girl.

Though with Bulma, this makes me wonder what they're going to do with all of her other scenes where she's dressed in much the same way o_O That would be a lot of cutting out man.

I think censoring on Korean dub are worse.

They deleted Yajirobe's sandals for the sake of elimination of Japanese materials.

That makes perfect sense.

At that time, in South Korea, all Japanese-related things were completely cleared out but they still sold Japanese mangas and animes in the name of "made in Korea". But at least, it seems that Dragon Ball series was introduced as a Japanese production because the word "Toei Animation" is on the covers of VHS relaeses. And, well, they did not censor Yajirobe's clothes and sword because they could be assumed to be Korean clothes and Korean sword, I guess...

... So did they actually buy the rights to air the stuff, or in the name of hating their ancestral enemies did they just steal it all and pretend they made it o_O

They officially bought the series I think. As I said in the last post, they spelled "Toei Animation" on the covers. If it were a bootleg release, an imaginary author would be made up... ..Yes, they did it on many other animes and mangas like Captain Tsubasa..

"A HOUSE". Yes, sure it is...

Edit*

Other Japan-exclusive censorings in anime

I remember some comparison shots for Azumanga Daioh in Korean, it was much better quality, they edited Chiyo's Kimono into a Hanbok, and changed some buildings too, I think.

Ahaha, oh man, "A House". That's something I'd only expect to see in the Saban dub.

Velasa · Post by **Velasa** » Thu Aug 20, 2009 2:31 am

This is just freaking insane. It's like Japan was bombing them during the airing of these series or something- I mean I understand the ancestral grudge and a shitload of anger from the war but this is such a trivial way to get back at people, it's like "Freedom Fries" but a lot more expensive and jarring. I can barely believe this.

Edit- Which Korea is this?

The Time Traveller · Post by **The Time Traveller** » Thu Aug 20, 2009 2:38 am

South Korea... also, Freedom Fries?

Freedom fries was a euphemism for French fries used by some conservatives in the United States as a result of anti-French sentiment in the United States during the international debate over the decision to launch the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

This has got to be some of the worst censoring ever.
