Manga/Anime Comparisons.
I noticed that a few scenes in the manga are quite graphic compared to the anime version. I was wondering how many scenes were altered.
For example, Vegeta killing Guldo. In the anime we just see him behead Gudlo with a Ki blast.
In the manga however, Vegeta just straight up chops Guldo's head off.
Another example I found was SSJ2 Gohan against the Cell Jrs.
In one scene, Gohan beheads a Cell Jr. in the anime. When he does we see the head seperate for a moment before blowing up in a puff of smoke.
Again, in the manga however, when Gohan beheads the Cell Jr., we see the head blow to bits. You even see brain matter and the eyeballs go flying.
So this brings the question, what other scenes were altered and/or toned down when compared to the manga?

Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
I legitimately think that these were animation-related decisions, rather than censorship.

Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
Its possible, though its not the first case I have seen of this. Bleach did this a lot and it infuriated me to no end. I can think of at least ten instances.Cursed Lemon wrote:I legitimately think that these were animation-related decisions, rather than censorship.
Another DBZ scene I found was Yakon's death.
In the anime Goku overloads Yakon and he blows up in a puff of smoke like the Cell Jrs.
In the manga we clearly see bits of him flying such as the eyes.

Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
I THINK the only time the anime was just as graphic was when Goku killed Drum

Your more or less correct on that one.TheGmGoken wrote:I THINK the only time the anime was just as graphic was when Goku killed Drum
Anime version.

Another scene relatively identical between the anime and manga is the death of King Piccolo.

Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
I remember that the part when Gero grabs an old guys neck so hard that he literally flattens it to a straw was only brutal in the manga.
There's room for only one snake, and one big boss.
Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
Raditz's death in the anime was actually more bloody than its manga counterpart IIRC.
Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
If I remember right, just after Freeza is sliced by his own attack, his intestines are dangling out in the manga. In the anime, obviously, it's a clean cut. Like a lightsaber.

So yeah, in the manga Freeza's entrails dangle abit when in the anime its a more or less cauterized cut (would explain how he didnt bleed out.)
As for Dr.Gero and the man in the car, yeah one of the most brutal scenes in the series as he pops the guy's head from his shoulders like a pimple. In the anime he just pulls him through the roof of the car.

How come no one posted Dr. Gero killing the driver?

James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

How about the scene on Namek where Dadoria kills the Namekian warriors and village elder? I noticed Kai removed/altered the scene where Dadoria punches through one of the Namekian's backs but was that in the manga at all? What about him snapping the Elder's neck?

Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
One of the reasons why DB manga is so much cooler than the anime.
Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
Wasn't Yamcha's rather brief battle with Dr. Gero different?

Anyway, another relatively identical comparison is when Nappa breaks/cuts off Tienshinhan's arm.
Anime version.
Manga version
Manga seems to have only a tiny bit more blood but otherwise, they are pretty much identical.

The manga has blood. In the anime they replace the blood with Nappa's auraManga seems to have only a tiny bit more blood but otherwise, they are pretty much identical.
Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
If it's anything like in Fist of the North Star, than it's just a type of censorship.
Like this:
Although I still don't understand how some shots aren't censored at all, even though it was still in the same episode:
Also, in one of the episodes during the battle with Vegeta, Goku had black blood. It was often censored like this in FotNS, too.

Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
Yeah, it's that old school "glowing blood gush" type of censor.Shnuki wrote:If it's anything like in Fist of the North Star, than it's just a type of censorship.
I'm pretty sure it's just gushing blood that was censored in Fist of the North Star. For some reason,lots of censors are okay with blood shown as long as it isn't shown escaping the wound. Cartoon Network's censors for DBZ allowed blood later on, but never when it was escaping the wound.Shnuki wrote: Although I still don't understand how some shots aren't censored at all, even though it was still in the same episode:
I think that was just Last House being cheap. They frequently did that black blood thing, probably to save time painting blood on the cels or something.Shnuki wrote:Also, in one of the episodes during the battle with Vegeta, Goku had black blood. It was often censored like this in FotNS, too.

Re: Manga/Anime Comparisons.
Yeah, if you want to see an anime that was censored when compared to the manga, it's Fist of the North Star. You could see people's organs exploding out and such in graphic detail...amazing series really. Was running into the start of Dragon Ball, so it was an interesting time to be a jump reader (Dragon Ball's comedic moments next to shedding manly tears as you have to make your foe explode into chunks, even though they're not entirely evil, but for those who had fallen in the Post-Apocalyptic future).
There is almost nothing that is more graphic than in the manga, which makes choosing an example tough, lol.
Dragon Ball certainly got some censorship, but there was moments where it could be more bloody, like the Makankosappo scene.
Saint Seiya (another 80s Jump series animated by Toei that ran during Dragon Ball's life) also got some censored scenes. Phoenix Ikki's Phoenix Genma Ken created some violent mental illusions that Toei couldn't animate:
Yeah, that wasn't happening.
