Sorry. I couldn't help myself to not ask. Anyways back to Dragon Ball.

When I saw their Dragon Ball when I was there it seemed like their editing was done with a pair of scissors and tape since it would seem like the general area of what they were censoring was gone. I could've sworn one episode was 10 minutes long because of this.

You know, it gets to the point where it goes from horrible to just plain impressive that they can be stuffed making so many pointless changes.

There was neevr an Arabic dub of GT made due to low popularity in Japan and most countries, according to the Dragon Ball Wiki.

Reviving ancient threads for no reason is a no no.

TBH, we don't shit on it enough.

The Fandom Dragon Ball Wiki (formerly known as Wikia) is completely and totally loaded with unsourced nonsense. If you read a piece of information on there that you can't find a reputable other source for, then you can be fairly sure it's completely wrong. Do not use it, ever.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Are you sure? People do it all the time

And I don't think you're in any position to say what we can and can't do in this thread

Do u guys like the opening of the DBS Arabic dub or no? Also they only made all those changes because it conflicts with religion and they didn't want kids seeing nudity before the age of 18, or whatever the age of consent is in Egypt (where the DBZ Arabic dub first aired).

No reason??? I believe the site rules and admins say that bumping threads with posts that don't contribute anything of note to the topic is frowned upon. However, if the posts by members actually have relevant points and add to the discussion in some way then i really don't see why that would be considered a "no no" as you say. Even if this thread is indeed over a decade old i doubt that the age would be a factor there.

Also, the Dragon Ball Wiki is indeed a cesspool of inaccurate information up the wazoo and i definitely wouldn't consult it as a resource like i do on this forum (or Kanzenshuu as a whole by extension) when looking up something about the series like trivia or the like. I've been on there a lot of times and seen so many completely wrong bits of info that was clearly not double checked or properly sourced by whoever posted them.
DB collection related goals as of now:

1.) Find decent priced copy of Dragon Box Z Vol. 4 (Done)

2.) Collect rest of manga

3.) Get rest of Daizenshuu (2-7)
