DragonBall Z Season 4 Set...

I also have every episode of DB. Mostly I have the funimations sets, which were either purchased through Amazon, or Rightstuf. But when I reached a wall with the last Piccolo Jr set being almost completely unavailable, and the only place I could find it all the reviews complained about botched DVDs. I really didn't have a choice in the matter, so I bought some boots to fill out my collection.
I only had to buy two bootleg sets (I will not reveal where I got them) One the covered the tournament saga to red ribbon, and one that covered the last couple episodes. And I have to say the one that covers the tournament saga on is pretty bad, It was made in the US, and is an obvious rip of the funimation DVDs, but the encoding during the Tournament saga episodes is the drizzling shits, but the Red Ribbon episodes are fine, I don't get it. But, the Piccolo Jr bootleg box I got, which claimed to be "Dragonbox" is actually quite acceptable, in fact the encoding is well above that of the Funimation Releases, the menus are cool too. The only problem is bad subtitles, but I didn't really care, I knew what was going on.
For the record, I don't condone buying bootlegs, and I will not reveal where I got them.

That's it, I'm sick of the english dub. The only reason I really watch it is because I'm used to the voices.

Episode 126. When Yajoribe appears Goku says "Hey mister are you alright?" Which is a line from the previous episode!

WTF!!!

This is the nail in the coffin for the dub. I had to listen to so many stupid lines (if I hear Krillin say "bro" one more time!! or "be strong [Insert Name]. I will go crazy!)

Hey, look at the driving test Episode. He calls the old man "Mister" in stead of "Old Timer" or what-not.

..........So?

..........So?

Because the "real" Goku would never call anyone mister. Something Funi failed to noticed or just flat out didn't care.

... Well who's to say what the "real" Goku would do? He wasn't a 12 year old kid out of the woods anymore. He was fighting in space, learned he was an alien, managed to fly a spaceship, had years of accustoming to normal life through his friends, and whoa, actually had a house with electricity, TV, a phone, and the whole 9 yards. Why exactly would it be hard to believe that a grown adult would call someone "mister"? It's still pretty improper really. Like a little kid shouting "mister, mister" in class.

Yeah. It's just the dub softening stuff again. I mean, how dare Goku be impolite to Old people by calling them Gramps, Old-Timers and such

Maybe because Goku can throw out scientific strategies when fighting, complete with a great vocabulary, and then when addressing someone else, call them "old timer"?

Yes because we all know that Goku was his class' valedictorian and isn't a country hick throughout his entire life.

lol Calling someone "mister" doesn't show intelligence. It's just a word. Not even a smart word. Now if he called him "Mister" and "sir" every time he referred to him, then I'd understand.

I'm glad I don't have to put up with that kind of stuff since I just pop in the DVD, hit menu, go to set up, then select my Japanese audio with subtitles ^_^ No more bad mistranslations, incorrect interpretations of lines, it's great! That whole set-up part does wonders for me still watching DBZ in this day and age.

Maybe in the live-action upcoming film he is?
