Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discussion

[dragondyle]

Wait, is that referring to me or dragondyle? Because when did I report the Makankosappo? I never even saw the episode!

Haha, I don't think they mean me. I said that I thought Piccolo said Special Beam Cannon in the flashback too but people are saying he didn't, stating he said Makankosappo in the flashback on Nicktoons.

[Mewzard]

I think it was Special Beam Cannon on the flashback as well. Though, I can't be sure, as I deleted the episode for space, and was only moderately attentive during that particular flashback.

So was I, but could have sworn I heard Special Beam Cannon.

[DemonRin]

Ok, watching my Tivo'd episodes now.

Question to anyone who has the DVD/BD, does Son say "Dying sucks..." or something close to that to Kuririn in the uncut dub track?

Yeah, he says something like "This dying... it... it sure isn't... a whole lot'a fun is it?"

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

Why would it be? As I said in another thread, while I'm sure Nicktoons mandates what is to be edited for their network, I highly, highly DOUBT they do any of it themselves. In fact, I'd say I'm 99.9repeating% sure that, aside from their annoying credit crunching, they do none of the editing. They tell FUNimation this and this needs to be censored, and FUNimation makes a censored version that they hand off to the network. FUNimation even self-censored their own edited product back on CN beyond CN's censorship standards. I mean, honestly, do you think it was Nicktoons that digitally painted "Tenkaichi Budoukai" romanji over the kanji? Would they even have any idea what that means? Mark my words. That's FUNimation.

I find it weird that they painted "Tenka'ichi Budoukai" over the Kanji instead of "World Martial Arts Tournament" that they used in the Dragon Ball dub. But still, it was an unnecessary change.


P.S It's "Romaji" not "Romanji".

[DemonRin]

Ok, just watched them and Piccolo DEFINITELY says "Makankosappo" on the flashback.

[Gaffer Tape]

P.S It's "Romaji" not "Romanji".

P.S. It was a typo.

But thank you. I guess I should take this opportunity to point out to a lot of people that it's "eyecatches" not "eyecatchers."

[Big Momma]

It was Makankosappo in the flashback on TV....at least at the 11:30 re-run.

[LeprikanGT]

@Demon: GOKU says something along those lies, but does say the word die.

[jjgp1112]

This is just a small thing, but I like how when Piccolo is explaining what the scouter is, Sabat puts emphasis on "Power Levels" as if to show that Piccolo isn't familiar with the term.

[DB_Fan1991]

It was also Makankosappo on the 8:30 broadcast as well. I know that I was surprised to hear that in the edited dub.

The domestic release has been censored; even for the private release.

Goku and Gohan's "parts" are edited out or obscured when they're naked, and a good amount of blood has been edited out as well. It doesn't make sense why FUNI decided to do this for the box sets too, they already released the whole series in the uncensored format when they released the dreaded bricks. I don't understand why Kai should be any different.

[VegettoEX]

The domestic release has been censored to a degree, and the disappointing thing is that the censorship isn't limited to the broadcast release. You see the censorship on the box-sets too. Goku and Gohan's parts are edited out when they're naked, and even some blood has been edited out as well. I don't know why FUNI decided to do this, they already released the whole series in the uncensored format.

Perhaps you're uniformed, or misunderstanding something... but that's how Kai is in Japan. FUNimation's home release of Kai does not "further censor" anything that was already "censored" (changed/adjusted) in Japan for Kai.

That's not FUNimation who did that, Toei is the one who did that

I didn't realize that. Out of curiosity, do you know why they decided to do that?

Japan's law has been more tight than the 80's-90's

[The Time Traveller]

I didn't realize that. Out of curiosity, do you know why they decided to do that?

Probably because it's airing in the morning now, people tell me that since One Piece moved to the morning there's been less blood.

Probably yeah because a lot of kids watch cartoon Sunday morning
But why it's in morning anyway?

[LeprikanGT]

We get 'cheated' out of footage and blood because Japanese law; it's sad really.
