Well, alright, if you people really wanna see it that bad...

Hmmm. Sonny's still saying "Kienzan" wrong. Oh well, can't win em all.

No, he definitely said "Kienzan" right this time. In the previous set he said "Kienzen".

No I still think he says "Kienzen". I didn't hear an "ah" sound.

[KaiserNeko]

No I still think he says "Kienzen". I didn't hear an "ah" sound.

I'M DEFINITELY hearing Kienzan. I've listened to it over and over. He says it right there.

Defeat the Invincible Vegeta! Work a Miracle, Gohan!





As the episode starts we see a bloody Vegeta in the middle of his battle with Gohan. This episode has a lot of blood on the faces and bodies of everyone in it. Usually in other episodes the blood would eventually turn black, but it only happened once in this episode. Man, the person who had to re-color all that blood...

The first audio edit though, comes from Krillin as he holds the Spirit Bomb, waiting for the right time to throw it at Vegeta. As he thinks of the situation at hand he lets out a "damn" before continuing on with his thoughts.



The plan doesn't go according to plan but still, Vegeta does eventually get his with the Spirit Bomb. Vegeta gets blasted far into the atmosphere (yet again) and while he's off somewhere up in the clouds, Goku, Krillin and Gohan think the battle is over. Goku tells Krillin he must be exhausted, to which Krillin replies...



...yea, I'm as confused as you are. I... I just don't know...

It's a bird, it's a plane, no! It's Vegeta! Vegeta's body hurdles back towards Earth and crashes near Goku, Gohan and Krillin. Krillin says...



Krillin walks over to Vegeta and says...



But, it seems Vegeta wasn't dead.



Vegeta smacks Krillin in the face. It wasn't flash edited, but just edited for blood. Crazy no? It's a direct hit to the face. I don't know anymore...





After that, Vegeta starts to walk towards Goku and Gohan and says...



Vegeta then blast everyone away with some kind of attack that doesn't really do anything except clear leaves off your lawn in the fall. After this, Vegeta realizes Gohan's tail has grown back, as he powers up to chop it off, Yajirobe steps in and slices Vegeta's back. The close up shot of the slice in the back of the armor is cut out...



What's also cut is Vegeta falling to the floor. In the TV version you just see Yajirobe, but in the uncut version you see Vegeta fall behind Yajirobe. I bet someone isn't gonna read this and just see the images and think they edited Vegeta out of the picture!





Then, Yajirobe, being a total moron yells out...



And of course, again, Vegeta isn't dead.



Vegeta gets up and kicks Yajirobe in the face while he's talking. There was a slow motion reaction shot of Yajirobe, which made it longer then a typical hit we see on the show. Needless to say the reaction was cut, but the actual kick was flash edited...





As if that wasn't enough, Vegeta punches him soon after, again it's in slow motion but is one second shorter...



Krillin looking down on this beat down says...



While Vegeta is busy kicking Yajirobe's ass, he forgets about the situation with Gohan. When he rushes over to Gohan and see's he has already started transforming. Vegeta yells out...



Gohan eventually fully transforms into a giant ape. While in this form, it seemed like he had no motive, he was just running wild. Krillin eventually yells out...



Hearing Krillin yell this, Vegeta says...



Goku yells at Gohan and it seems like Gohan finally gets it. Vegeta knows he has to cut off Gohan's tail and after a few failed attempts, he finally hits his mark. In the TV version we don't see the tail actually getting cut off, just a flash edit...



This particular flash was actually in the uncut version at the moment the tail was being cut off.

With Gohan's tail gone, he turns back into a normal boy, but due to a miscalculation by Vegeta, Gohan lands right on top of him. After this Vegeta is done. He has no energy left to defend himself and so, calls him space pod. Krillin sees this, grabs Yajirobe's sword and says...



And without any warning, the end credits start. The episode is over!

[Big Momma]

Did they really just edit Vegeta out of that Yajirobe shot?! What the crap?

[linkdude20002001]

Um... Just so you know, the fat dude's name is Yajirobe (YAH-jee-ROH-bay), not Yajirobi. FUNimation spells it correctly; they just pronounce it wrong. Toriyama spells Yajirove, though, FYI.

Thanks for another fine comparison! It's quite entertaining to look through.

[Tanooki Kuribo]

OK, it's fixed.

[linkdude20002001]

Wow! You even fixed the picture! Good work!

[ShadowDude112]

When Krillin is slapped in the edit, he looks paler also. Was that an edit or the master Nicktoons got?

[Tanooki Kuribo]

No, it's not an edit. Just the video source I'm using.

[ThunderPX]

Man, thanks to the original Z dub, Vegeta recovering from the Spirit Bomb is never going to sound right to me without "WHOSE FACE IS UGLYYYY!?!?"

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Wow. I originally wrote something like that. About the "who's face is ugly" line. I didn't cause I thought, who would even remember that one line? Guess I wasn't alone.

[Codarik]

lol I remember in the ocean dub during the closeup shot of the slice, Vegeta said "You almost cut through my armor!", I'm glad Nicktoons just cut that shot instead of having him say something like that for the tv version.

[Gozar]

No I still think he says "Kienzen". I didn't hear an "ah" sound.

I'M DEFINITELY hearing Kienzan. I've listened to it over and over. He says it right there.

Edit: Here's an Mp3 of it, slowed down to emphasize!

Nah. It's more of a Kienzun. I'm not hearing an "ah" sound. I mean it really doesn't matter too much. I just don't understand why a director hasn't correctly Sonny's pronunciation against Nappa and here.

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Dawn of a Fierce Battle! The Star of Hope is Piccolo's Homeland!

Before the episode even starts we have some editing errors...









Soon after the episode starts, Krillin gets ready to stab Vegeta...



Goku reaches Krillin telepathically to try and stop him from killing Vegeta...



Then for some time, Goku and Krillin have a back and forth about killing Vegeta...



Still, Krillin is unconvinced...



Goku starts to explain why he doesn't want Krillin to kill him, just the beginning of his sentence is edited...



While Goku is talking, Vegeta stumbles and Krillin put the sword up to Vegeta's neck. This was edited out...



Eventually, Goku gets Krillin to drop the sword...



Vegeta leaves in his space pod, during this, there is a shot of Gohans ass, this shot was cut out...



Then, for a long while there are no edits. Not even the blood, it's all black from here on out in both versions. The next edits come while looking for the bodies of their friends...





And that is the last edit of the episode.

Well, I'm done. I'm not going to be doing anymore of these comparisons. Sorry, it just really, really ruins my whole watching experience. I used to love watching random episodes of DragonBall Z Kai every now and then but, I can't watch the episodes I've already compared because I've seen them 100 times over. Doing these comparisons eventually became a chore that I didn't look forward to doing but, I wanted to at least just finish off the first story arc so that it had some kind of complete feel to it. I've gotten so sick of the episodes I've already compared and I don't wanna have that feeling for the rest of the series so, I'm stopping right here so that I can enjoy future episodes. I hope I don't sound like an jerk. But hey, I might come back, but for right now, I don't really want to.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. Now, if you want, we can start to talk about the Nicktoons edits from any episode that aired instead of just being restricted to the Saiyan\Vegeta saga.

Thanks!

[Innagadadavida]

Hey man, you did good. I don't blame ya for not wanting to continue. Thanks for your work.

[Cootie]

Thank you for doing these. I understand why you would want to stop. But hopefully someone else can take your place...

[PuppetDoctor]

Thanks for posting all these comparisons and I understand why you would want to stop doing them.

[SuperSaiyan3Goku]

Thanks for the comparisons, Tanooki!

All great things must come to an end.

[Gozar]

Thank you so much for doing these all this time. I'll miss them so much, but I understand how you feel. Something like this should be fun.. If it feels like that a job, then it's not worth doing.

[Big Momma]

YOU JERK I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE JUST QUITTING LIKE THIS! YOU LAZY BUM!


Seriously, you did real good with this, and I (Along with everyone else, I'm sure) really appreciate it. Lord knows I wouldn't have had the patience to make it even this far.
