[quote="19Nyoi-bō95"Simple Solution: Don't watch the dub or even talk about it if it makes you angry.

Seriously, that's no good for your stress.[/quote]Well, that's not fair. I know I'd prefer to watch Dragon Ball in English... But with name changes and everything else they did to the show, it's not something I can enjoy. And seriously... I'm not even picky. Picky is all the anime fans that say English dubs ruin anime and shouldn't exist (and I know far too many). >_<

Viz censored Gohan's penis when they got to DBZ because they rated it "All Ages". That's why they didn't have to censor penises in DB because it was rated "Teen".

But they released them simultaneously... So, it probably IS uncensored in the original release. I'll know for sure soon as I get the money.

Linkdude, the only time Mr. Satan is ever called H­ercule on the DVDs is occasionally during the Cell Games. After that it's exclusively Mr. Satan.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Nope. DB"Z" was always released as an "A" title, even when DB was a penis-exposing "T" title.

No. Neither had a rating. The rating didn't start up till after the period of censorship from 2000 August to 2001 March.

Not good enough. :/

That's like saying "Goku is only ever called Zero during the Saiyan arc on the DVDs". I had to widen it a bit since Gokuh is a lot more prominent than a character who exists only at the end of the third major story arc.
