DragonBall Z Kai - Cable TV Version (NickToons)

Great to see another one, Tanooki. Take your time, if it will help ease your burden.

And it's always the little edits that make me laugh. Shut up to Listen, it's a silly edit.

IMO, the silliest edit was changing Nappa's dialogue about Goku's power level reading. Changing it from "It must be broken or something!" to "That thing's a piece of junk!", you'd think what they changed it to would be closer to an insult.

Nice, the episode comparisons are back!

No need to rush, take as long as you need.

Yajirobi

Yajirobe, actually. Don't be fooled by FUNimation's pronunciation! It's actually pronounced Yah-gee-roh-beh.

[Daimo-Rukiri]

I think we know that

[Chibi Mystic Gohan]

Who's "we"?

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

Who's "we"?

I'm assuming people who watch the Japanese version.

[Chibi Mystic Gohan]

M'kay... I was just letting Tanooki know.

[Hellspawn28]

I don't know why they edit the word "Shut up" since a lot of cartoons say "Shut Up" all the time?

Because he's saying it to his mother. The censors don't want kids to see a child protagonist being disrespectful to their parent.

I figure I'd take a crack at this comparison stuff so I did one of Frieza impaling Krillin.



The blood on Krillin's forehead had been removed.



About 2 seconds of the wound have been clipped.



Not only has the blood been removed but the horn as well as the damage in his armor. Must be a policy, no full impalements.



Around 10 seconds clipped out showing the wound again, guess they're not allowed to show a stabbing either.



6 seconds of the wound bleeding out, clipped for your convenience.



Blood removed from Krillin's cough.



The blood is removed and Frieza is now in still animation instead of licking the blood.



The last 7 seconds with Krillin's blue face over a sunset cut out. Er, clipped for time?



I'd do more of these but I don't really have access to the uncut version, I just happened to find this on Youtube.

Note: Edited out dialogue edits due to it not really being Kai.

[Hellspawn28]

So they cut the horn getting stab through Kuririn's body huh? I remember they still shown Freeza's horn still going through his body without any blood on CN over 10 years ago IIRC?

For a second there, I was wondering how you got the Kai part 3 DVD so early, but then I realized you got your "uncut" dialog from Z's heavily altered dub.

I know you're new here, but you're comparing the Kai dub's accurate dialog to the Z dub's horribly inaccurate dialogue, and stating that Kai's dialog is the one that's been changed, when it's actually the other way around.

Crap, should've known. Didn't realize the original Z had the demonic Japanese chant in it too, I just assumed it was something they created for Kai. I didn't mean to imply Kai's dialogue was changed, I just thought the Z Uncut Dub was the Kai Uncut Dub and assumed it was Nicktoons changing the dialogue. Sorry.

Demonic chant? I assume you mean Freeza's insert song. No, that's not in Z, all of Kai's music is made exclusively for Kai.

Although, re-reading your post, I think I know why you are so confused here:

I'd do more of these but I don't really have access to the uncut version, I just happened to find this on Youtube.

I remember there being a YouTube video of Kai's dub of Krillin being impaled by Freeza, but it was just Z's dub pasted over Kai's music and footage. It was also made months before that actual dubbed episode even aired on TV. There are unfortunately many videos like that.

I assume this is the video you saw, right?

[MetroidJunkie]

No wonder, they must've edited the Frieza theme over it too. Listening to it again, I noticed they are, infact, the original dub's voices (Frieza and Gohan). Well, atleast the visual edits seem accurate enough.

Note: Yes, that's the video. To its credit, the voice work in the original dub is good enough in raw emotion that I would make that mistake.

[Ashy-kun]

However, to your slight discredit, they had two pieces of music playing at the same time. ^^;;

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Hey guys, I already did up to episode 22. I just have to cut and paste them in here. I don't wanna flood a page with images so, I'll wait untill we reach the next page to up some more.

A Powerfull New Foe! Frieza Ruler of the Universe!





As the episode starts, Bulma, Krillin and Gohan are flying through space in Kami's ship. At some point during the first scenes Bulma grabs a Beer. No surprise here, every time we see that beer the word "beer" is omitted. Mmmm, space beer...









Soon after Bulma complains about how she does everything, she gets no respect and that a delicate flower, a busy delicate flower. Krillin responds...



A little while later, Bulma asks Krillin what he thinks happened to Vegeta after he flew off. Krillin says Vegeta was so hurt, he couldn't have gotten far, then adds...



Yea, I don't know why they needed to change that. There is like... no reason at all!

A little while later we see Vegeta getting healed. As he steps out of the healing tank, the Nicktoons version zoomed in a bit to cut his ass out of the shot.





The next frame though, they added some really badly drawn boxer shorts... or something...





As the Dr. is talking to Vegeta, he mentions that Cui wants a word with him. Vegeta resounds...



As Vegeta walks out of the room, contemplating what his next course of action is, he comes across Cui...



Cui goes on to tell Vegeta that Freeza isn't happy with him running off to find the DragonBall without his permission. Cui then mentions that Freeza is looking for the DragonBalls as well. Vegeta thinks...



Cui pretty much tells Vegeta he was careless to think Freeza wouldn't have found out. I don't really know if that Namekian line works, seems kinda... out of place?



Vegeta then runs out, yelling back to him...



The next edits come in the second half of the episode. When we return from the commercial break, we see what Goku is up to in the hospital. A nurse goes into Goku's room and tells him he can't keep doing push ups in his condition. The next 31 seconds where cut. It was just Roshi flirting with the nurse. Nothing really major.



Sometime after, the Dr. comes into the room. This is where the TV version picks up. The Doctor tells Roshi and the nurse to help Goku onto the bed.



The nurse laughs at the "happy hands" comment but, since the flirting was cut out of the TV version, this scene too is omitted...



After this scene, we see Bulma, Krillin and Gohan have finally made it to Planet Namek! After they land, Gohan and Krillin go out of the spacecraft before Bulma could check the air quality. Bulma pops up behind them and yells...



Soon after, Vegeta also lands on Planet Namek. Soon after, he uses his scouter to locate Freeza. He finds Dodoria and Zarbon are with him as well...



During the next scene, we see a village that has already been attacked and Freeza's henchmen brining a DragonBall to him. There is a shot of a dead Namekian. In the TV version the blood is taken out but, it's kinda awkward because originally the blood was pouring out of the body. So in the TV version it just seems they left the frame on the dead Namekian for too long because, well, there is no blood pouring out. It just looks like a still frame.





And that's it.

Reminds me of the time you couldn't say 'fart' on TV.

[Mewzard]

The edits continue to be minor, yet amusing on the Nicktoons side (much better than the CW4Kids one).

The blue pants in particular remind me of a worse version of the digital bikinis/one pieces that they did for Tenchi. However, unlike Tenchi's edit (which were semi see-through, clearly added over the work), these are ridiculously saturated, and lacking a black border, unlike the rest of his outline, which is just all kinds of silly. I could have done a better edit with MS Paint. Not much better...but still.

Another good one Tanooki. I look forward to seeing more details on how they try to trick the parents into thinking the series isn't even all that PG.
