Errors in Funi's GT not present within the Japanese Dub?

Post by Shineman » Sun May 29, 2011 11:33 pm

As in, what are the errors, dub only lines that were never present/stated within the Original Dub of Dragon Ball GT?

I've never seen such absurdity in the series. Heck, 90% of the idiotic fan beliefs and theories don't compare to this.

There's Vegeta's "I couldn't become a Super Saiyan 4 because at the time I wasn't a pure-blooded Saiyan" or whatever it was (versus "I couldn't become a Super Saiyan 4 because at the time Baby's cells were interfering).

Didn't the dub also say that Doctor Mu created Baby, instead of in the original were it's revealed that Baby actually created Mu?

I guess I could cite the dub names for the evil dragons, but that was an intentional change as opposed to them just screwing up.

Obviously dub GT is set in an alternate reality in which the events of Dragonball Evolution actually happened.

:shock: Are you serious? The kid that's been healing people since the Freeza arc forgot how to do it? GT really did have bad writing.

Did GT also change Gogeta's lines to Omega after he blasted him with the Big Bang Kamehameha? In the English version, Gogeta seemed to actually be trying to kill Omega. I'm not sure if this is in the Japanese version.

In the japanese version Gogeta does say something along the lines of: "it's time to end this."
He was trying to end it and was surprised to see that Omega survived the first Big Bang Kamehameha and then wanted to do it again, but as we know the fusion wore off, before he could land the desicive blow.

:lol: You know, if the GT dub was a constant onslaught of ridiculous plot holes and oversights like these, it would actually be a pretty fun watch in a 'So bad it's good' way. Great MST material.

Didn't the dub also have Bulma mentioning Vegeta could become SSJ5?

Although I think one episode title in Japanese is called 'Surpass Super Saiya-jin 4!'
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

"You might even become a Super Saiya-jin 5!" or something like that, when building the new machine to make him an SSJ4.

Though that's not really an error, nor is it something lacking from the original. In the JP version Vegeta mentions SSJ5 when talking to Goku. "Bring on your SSJ4 or 5 or whatever!" or something like that.

I think the entire GT dub was a failure. That INCLUDES the God-awful music they had. I don't know what the hell was going on with that, but GT is definitely better watched in the original, and I think even dub fans would have to agree. But then again, it's GT. I think if they have room to play and screw around with anything in the series, it's the filler, movies, and GT. I'm just curious what their thought process was at the time.

Not to say random line changes are justified, but Turtle Sage did give Goku and Kuririn math and English lessons. And, if we are to take something from the training montage, it would presumably be safe to say they were taught everyday.

I know that the thread is about the errors in Funi's GT, but I just want to point out that the Blue Water English dub, which was mostly accurate, did contain some out-there moments.

- There's General Rilld's name changing to "General Lock" for no real reason;

- Yi Xing Long becoming "Li Shenron," with all the other Evil Dragons carrying the "Shenron" name;

- Li Shenron tells Gogeta that after he kill him, "control of the universe will once again belong to the lizards."

- Hell became "Hades," but considering that this was for TV broadcast, and GT's version of Hell was completely different from Z's, calling it something else could be a debatable improvement.

I respect your opinion but I gotta say, this is a lovely contribution to the actual topic, even though it kinda doesn't contribute at all. Just beautiful.

Yeah, I checked last night and you are pretty much right.In the original Japanese Bulma says that Bruits Wave Machine will make 'surpassing SSJ4 possible' or along the lines of that.
