I don't seem to recall NickToons's broadcast ever mentioning death (other than the episode title "A Life or Death Battle! Goku and Piccolo's Desperate Attack", which was cut out for Toonzai to only the latter portion to rid that death reference).

Urgh, I hate to say it but I'm still disappointed with Dameon's recent performances:

I'm not hearing any rage in this, it just sounds like a yell. Perhaps a bit of rasp is what's missing.

Do you think the uncut dub will have him say "Dammit"?

There have been a couple instances (although possibly accidents) where death is mentioned. I remember after Zarbon gives Vegeta a thrashing, he says to himself "I'm not gonna die"; also, when Gohan comes back to fight Freeza in Goku's place, he says, "You killed my dad." Heck, if I'm not mistaken, the Cell Junior who fired a Kikoho at Gohan in episode 93 yelled "Die!" There are a handful of other instances too.

I find it interesting that "I will make you suffer as much as Android 16 did" wasn't censored, considering threats involving suffering were done away with earlier in the show.

In the edited dub they never specifically say death unless something slips through the cracks. They do keep stuff like, "Your life will come into question" or "Our lives are at stake." Hell, I've even heard a few "Frieza will have our head"
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!

In the Japanese version of that scene he just keeps saying dammit repeatedly, so surely FUNimation will keep that intact.

Anyone else think they're gonna burst into tears from tonight's performance during Goku's Sacrifice?
My eyes were watering just from the promo. Gohan's "DON'T LEAVE US!" was very emotional just from that tidbit.

Looks like no one has posted the code yet.

Tonight's is "Goodbye". Pretty fitting actually.

There's a code word given at the end of each episode they've been showing. Enter the code somewhere on the Nicktoons Kai website, and you get a free sneak peek at an exclusive DBGT clip.

They used to mention death all the time during the saiyan saga. They'd hardly ever say "kill" but they would say dead, death, and die. There was a bit of instances where they changed the dialogue, but for the most part, when someone was dead, or when they wanted someone dead, you'd know.

Okay, I've been gone for a while, due to my computer breaking, but here are my opinions on the recent episodes of Kai this week. First off, 92. The first part of the episode was good, it did what it was supposed to. But, when you get to the part where Gohan undergoes his transformation... it just didn't feel right. Inman did a good job as 16 like always, Clarke was pretty great, too, but Gohan's scream was pretty bad. It didn't really have any emotion, it was just a forced scream. The bad music placement didn't help either. I know I'll get flamed for this, but I actually preferred Nadolny's scream. Hers' was very dramatic, and it just worked. I didn't like how they edited 16's death so that the crunch happened right before Gohan's snap either. 93-94 were fine. Yesterday's episode was fantastic. It all came together properly. I felt the emotion when Goku was going to lleave with Cell, the music placement was pretty fantastic. Strait did a good job voicing Krillin trying to cheer Gohan up. Clarke was decent. Overall, I guess you could say these episodes have been pretty solid.

For me, the very ending of Colleen's scream is what makes it for me. She gives it that edge that just (pardon the expression) screams "rage" to me.

The music placement in that scene is very poor, though.

Tonight's the final night of Cell. I'm really looking forward to everyone's inner monologues about Goku and Gohan and why they won't let Gohan lose to Cell. I'm also looking forward to Gohan's final scream when his Kamehame-ha finally overpowers Cell's.

Also in two episodes is the "final" episode. I wonder who will sing "Dragon Soul" when they all fly away from Kami's palace together and into the final minutes of the episode. Perhaps Sean or Vic. Personally I wouldn't mind everyone who got to sing the Opening on the uncut DVD's sing it all together.

EDIT: So I was just watching Nicktoons, and a commercial played saying that tonight is the final premiere night of Kai?! And that tonight's code will unlock the lost episode. So does this mean the "Lost Episode" in question is Episode 97? I also checked my guide and indeed Kai is not airing tomorrow. So I guess this means that Episode 98 will be a DVD only episode.

I just watched the episode of Kai on nicktoons.com. It is in fact ep.97 and not 98.

It does however have the ep.98 preview at the end.

Just saw the newest episode on TV, and Colleen's final scream to finish off Cell is packed full of emotion. Trust me if you found the SSJ2 transformation one dull, this one should please you.

And the final code is "VICTORY", which unlocks Episode 97, which will also air on January 1st. Looks like this mix-up is concluded. Episode 98 will be a DVD exclusive here as well.

It's clever marketing on FUNi's part to make 97 an online exclusive, and 98 a DVD exclusive even though for the latter they're copying what Toei did.
