DragonBall Z Kai - Cable TV Version (NickToons)

[ohaimynameiserik]

It looks to me like the orange blood could have been a result not of innovation, but out of necessity. Looking at the side by side comparisons, from both this and other episodes, it seems like they just pick the color they are changing and apply it to the entire shot (for example, I noticed that if there were blood edits and the character's mouth was open, the inside of their mouth looked less red than usual). In this episode, it looks like they ran into a problem with Reacoom's hair being too close to the red they were trying to change. They may have tried changing the red to black/brown, but it also messed with Reacoom's hair color, so they had to try something else.
Why do I think this? Observe Tanooki's side by side shot:

Notice how Reacoom's hair looks like a lighter shade of orange in the edited version? It looks close to the color of the edited blood, right? That's why I think they had to change the color of edited blood to something different than their normal practice, because it would have altered Reacoom's hair too noticeably. As for why everyone else has orange blood, too, they probably just did the same thing for everyone in this episode to keep it simpler for the editors. I don't remember if it goes back to dried blood/dirt in the later episodes, or if it stays orange from here on out....

And this has been your completely random observation for the day.

It's the same reason for one of Freeza's eyes to occasionally be a bluish gray, later.

If that's true, why isn't his hair noticeably more orange in this shot? Seems to just be random.

[Big Momma]

^It is, at least...as far as I can tell.

Then again, that screenshot doesn't have much hair, so you can't really go off of that.

[Tanooki Kuribo]

You know, I thought the same thing for like the longest time I thought maybe it was just me or my screen settings.

Any subtle change certainly isn't as obvious as the blood is.

Goku Arrives at Last! Take Down the Ginyu Force!

A little bit of the episode starts before the opening and title screen....

As Goku lands he tries to pin point Gohan and Krillin. When he does the TV version shows a less brutal image of Gohan...



Goku then says to himself...



The episode starts soon after...



I should note that all the blood edits from the previous episode carry over to this one, along with Reacoom's bare ass being edited.

As Goku lands at the battle field, Vegeta says to himself...



Goku walks over to Gohan, there is a close up shot that is edited in the TV version to look less violent. His pupils are now colored in...



Goku tries feeding Gohan a Senzu bean but it dosen't work. Goku says...



Stunned by the quick recovery, Jheees says...



Goku walks over to Reacoom, Reacoom yells to Jheese and Burta...



After hearing Goku's power level is only around 5,000 Reacoom says "Oh wait..." going on to say...



The TV version cuts the scene short which is why the TV version dialogue is shorter. This kind of edit happens a few times in this episode alone.

Reacoom lunges at Goku and yells...



The thing with this edit is, Reacoom says "Now feel the power of Reacoom!" right before he throws the punch. So in the TV version it sounds like he's yelling out an attack called "Reacoom Punch".

Goku seems to disappear and reappear behind Burta and Jhees. After seeing a sample of Goku's speed, Reacoom says...



Reacoom powers up an attack, but this time Goku elbows him knocking him to the ground. There is a 2 second shot of Reacoom's bare ass edited out...



Meanwhile Vegeta is pissed off about what's happened to Goku, he thinks he's become a Super Saiyan...



Goku yells to Burta and Jheese, giving them a chance to leave. Also, there appears to be an animation flaw...



Burta talks to Jheese a bit, this scene was also cut short for TV, omiting the rest of the original line...



Burta and Jheese fly back and forth past Goku, eventually landing right by him. At this point Goku punches Jheese right in the face. This, along with a some back and forth dialogue was edited out.



Right before Goku pushes Jheese and Burta back from a kiai, Burta says...



Getting annoyed at not being able to lay a finger on Goku, Burta says...



Meanwhile, Bulma is wondering what's going on with Krillin and Gohan.



Burta and Jheese come up with a plan, Jheese will throw his Crusher Ball and when Goku moves out of the way Burta will attack. While the Crusher Ball is heading towards Goku, Burta yells out...



But instead of dodging, Goku deflects it. Goku appears behind Burta, there is a little dialogue back and forth, some of it was edited out. Mostly the second part of the conversation.



Burta starts hand to hand combat with Goku, seeing this, Jheese yells out...



Yea, that scene was also cut short a bit.

Proving to be way to fast for the two of them, Jheese and Burta accidentally hit each other...



Goku now goes on the attack, kicking Burta breaking his armor. He then elbows him, knocking him downward. The hit was edited with a flash and Burta's reaction was cut all together...





Which is funny because in the next episode recap of this episode, this shot is in tact...



But, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here, we'll get to that in episode 32.

So Goku catches Burta right as he's about to hit the ground. This is pretty much the same thing to Nappa but for some reason when he did it to Nappa it was cut out.

Goku throws Burta to the ground and the episode ends.

Maggot is probably a racial slur in a dead language. We don't want to offend the Meslocians.

Someone needs to make a avatar out of this.

Okay a little off topic here, but I couldn't help but notice the difference between these shots. Does the first one have some digital blur added or something? Because I can't really figure out why it looks so weird to my eyes.

Done. ^_^



I couldn't help but put pupils on my version. xD I call him "Buta-blarg!"

Those are the "reanimated" scenes for Kai. People have a problem with them because they stand out so much with that "digital blur" and and also that "flash animation" look it.

Thank you!
And yeah they are kinda annoying to my eyes with that blur and all, but let's not get into that

No problem! Haha, yeah that is for another topic.
So, how bout that there editing? lol
But seriously, something I did notice:



If they just edited out the blood and coloured in his pupils here, why didn't they do that in the earlier shots of this?

You mean "earlier shots" as in this?


Cause if this is what you're referring to, my guess would be that this is a bit brutal, whether blood is edited or not. I mean, imagine if you were seven years old and your mom walked in the living room to see a small boy, who's younger than you, with a snapped neck because he was beat down by adults? Wouldn't look to good on Nicktoons' part. So they took that out altogether.

And if that wasn't what you're referring to, I just typed all that for nothing. <.<;;

So apparently you can't say 'idiot' or 'maggot' anymore.
This dub is crazytown.

[ChampionofTime]

"PUNCH!" seems a really weird thing to say when you're about to hit someone, fair enough he was going to punch him but still that's like me shouting "FOOD!" when I see a pizza. Oh wait I do that, best shut up now

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Ha, ha... you know, I was messing with that screen shot before I put this comparison together. I also added pupils but then added some "flair" to make it look like some kind of crazy Japanese commercial for toothpaste or something...

This reminds of an old episode of Simpsons for some reason...
Also great edit! It's hilarious

The episode "In Marge We Trust", in which Homer finds he bears a similarity to the face on the box of "Mr Sparkle" and its Japanese commercial. Just thought I'd tell you that.

But yeah, that's a brilliant edit, Tanooki Kuribo! I cracked the fuck up.
