So, the Blurays are censored too, huh? Any chances we'll see a proper release someday? :?
I really don't want owning something that's been cut. Following the manga, eh... :roll:

I'm confused. If this is the cuts from Z, are they cutting out blood and cuss words or just removing blood from scenes?

WHYYY would they make an editted version of something now?! It's 2010, not '98.

They're removing some instances of blood. Probably because Japanese television was actually more lax with children's shows in the early '90s than it is now.

And Japanese doesn't have cuss words.

One Piece and Naruto had to undergo censorship when they adapted the manga to the anime too. The reason it's censored is because it's 2010.

No, that's just the reason Kai sucks.

The reason it's self-censored is because broadcasting standards have changed since the original anime aired.

They haven't "Removed" the blood, just toned it down. Blood was removed from just a few of the more gruesome injuries (Like the blast through Son and Raditz) but plenty of blood is still present, like When Freeza impales Kuririn on his horn.

And there are "Cuss words" in Japan (If you wana call them that) like Kuso and Chikusho (the things commonly translated as Cuss Words) and those are all Kept intact.

In case you missed the point of Kai, it's to remaster the show in HD and remove filler. Not to mention finally get Japanese Dragon Ball in Stereo audio.

Actually it does. But you are not going to hear any severe ones in a shounen anime.

Curse words such as...?

Seriously. I'd like to hear of these words because I know there are extremely rude ways of phrasing things, but I've never heard of straight-up curse words in the sense that we have them in English.

This. There is no set of taboo words like we have in English, only words and phrases that are extremely rude or crass in a given context. They're often translated as curses in English, but it's not really the same thing, you know, culturally.

I wish FUNi could have tried a little harder to make the cover art nicer...

These Kai box's are awesome looking!
