Eh? Why would they censor the swords though that's all I'm wondering…
Official 4kids Dub Thread Mk III (The End Has Come)
-
-
Maybe they don't like showing "sharp objects" or somethin'.
-
If it needs that much cut then cut the whole thing. Fighting is a central point in One Piece so the fighting is going to suffer a lot.
-
Maybe they don't like showing "sharp objects" or somethin'.
Couldn't they just make them wooden swords then or something?
-
Wow, I found out that 4Kids acknowledges Steve Irwin. I gain 1 respect for them. But that doesn't mean they are in my good books. At least they're trying harder to appeal to the daily audience, rather than try to pack as much into one episode.
-
Couldn't they just make them wooden swords then or something?
Well… They make 'em into blunt sticks. Kinda the same? XD
And 4Kids acknowledged Steve Irwin's death? Is that what you mean, Pants-Eater?
-
Well… They make 'em into blunt sticks. Kinda the same? XD
Well that makes a lot more sense than the super soakers at least. I could live with swords being sticks but hammer guns, cap guns, pop guns, and super soakers… come on now...
Besides at least they didn't turn the swords into feather dusters or something. XD
-
As far as the sticks thing goes, might have something to do with Korea's censorship laws, maybe depictions of weapons aren't allowed on TV shows, not even cartoons? If that was the case, it would make sense (it would still be stupid, but it would make sense).
-
Yeah, but the thing is that none of those type of guns have ever came back to the dub since the very beggining, besides the Super Soakers… And even those are only given to the Marines. While most of the other guns these days are simply recolored.
I donno... Since Zoro is a main character... I think I'd rather have the Super Soakers. XD 'Cause the fact that we don't see 'em as much as we would Zoro with his blunt sticks.
That's how I look at it anyways...
-
So Mihawk would beat Zoro to death instead of slashing him big whoop. That's a small price to pay for not having desert doo doo or something like that. XD
I mean if that would be the only Korean edit. That's so minor that it wouldn't really effect my opinion of the dub. It'd be like the whole editing some of the blood thing in Naruto.
-
It's not the only one, actually. Sanji has a lollypop. I think they also erase blood.
Heh heh. Though I doubt the've skipped any episodes, so that puts them a peg over 4Kids. Still… I wouldn't say editing the swords is a minor thing. I mean... sword-play is fairly important in One Piece.
-
Eh, I dunno if you can consider it "minor." What's Zoro gonna do in Little Garden, beat his legs off? XD;;
Of course, they could just skip Little Garden like 4Kids did.
-
^ Lol. "Damn it! Break legs, break! Then I can slitther off outta here!" XD
-
I mean, now they have a background in the avatar thingy for the forums that says Crikey! Please don't hurt me for bringing up the forum…
I would actually prefer if they cancelled the show, rather than having so much things so damn stupid. It would be better than sinking all chances of it being taken seriously in Korea.
By the way, is it North or South Korean?
-
It's not the only one, actually. Sanji has a lollypop. I think they also erase blood.

True but I mean… compared to the outlandishly ridiculous gun edits... turning swords into sticks doesn't seem far that bad. Guess why it does feel minor to me.
-
Forgive me, but I can't wait to hear about the next dub episode. Keep us up to date man.
And please, from now on put your images in spoiler tags. The stretching pisses me off.
-
Yes, if they at least pull off Usopp's speech decently… I'll be in awe.
-
Well, I dear say Skypiea could be rather good.
-
thegreatpirateking is correct yesterdays was possibly the best episode of dub piece yet. I can't wait for todays!
-
How much longer till it airs there?
-
i'ld say about another three hours and i'll be online to reveal if it has the speech in it or not.
-
I've heard the Korean dub is actually really good, minus a ciggarette, op/ed, and plus bokken. But all the same script, scene, and BGM-wise.
-
Lol. He wants to be the greatest stick-man in the world. Which is a hard task, given that the whole world is full of stick-men.
Yeah. CAVEMEN!!!!!
XD
Kinda ironic how they censored it out though, since Korea is where Tae Kwon Do has its origin -.-
-
Okay, its been 3 hours. I suppose the episode is on right now or is coming on in 10 mins?
-
half an hour i forgot it was on at 4:30 and not 4:00 as i originally thought so half an hour and then i shall reveal all. Actually I am currently rewatching the original version of the episode to get a better idea of what will be gone. God I really hope usopps speech is in there though i will predict the whole skull thing will be gone as will vivis flashback (why stop now they've all gone thus far)
-
waits paitently
10 minutes!
-
blow up
Both the skull cracking (though usopp still gets the bat) and the flashbacks are gone as predicted (they are really screwing with poor vivi) A few bits and bobs are gone but nothing major but who cares about that right you all want to know….
Usopps speech?
4kids have did the impossible they have made their version of usopp into a bad ass!
While the wording may have changed slighty the basic idea of the speech is the same...
(this is from memory and thus the proper wording may be different)
It is time for me to stand up
it is time for a man to grab the bull by the horns
and a woodchuck by the feet
Luffy cannot lose I do not believe he can
he then is grabbed by the most annoyingest cheerleader in the world and slammed through a brick wall. He screams to Chopper "remember bull by the horns" and then it is pretty much the same as the original after that.
-
That don't sound too impressive to me. I don't recall that fight much but I know Usopp had a hell of a speech, and that wasn't it.
-
Dang, that makes things a bit more hopeful now. Not enough to fix their past mistakes, but still, seems like a start. :/
-
Sorry about it being late. It took awhile but here it is!
Ramblings
No puns!
Good Start!One Piece Episode 115 Cut Scenes (It's random today…)
One Piece Episode 115 Sub and Dub Comparsion Pictures (Note: These are not the original Toonami pictures but ones i've made (I even put in the logo for you!). It took me an hour to make these so don't make fun of them.)

(There's more but i'll post them later)
Finally! The dub is finally getting better! I can't believe it! I hope next week will be even better!
-
watching Sanji V Bon Clay today, I must say that I personally think that the dub is getting a litlle better.
-
How was the Sanji v. Bon Clay fight handled? Obviously, no blood, but what was left?
-
It wasn't too bad. They had Sanji giving a speech about how he is a real friend compared to Bon Clay. No blood obviously and it ended with the Nami face thing and BC realising what it can do.
(I suck at summaries).
-
Yay, they left in Usopp's speech (albiet they could've gone without that woodchuck comment). It must be freezing in hell. 4Kids actually treated Usopp decently in this fight.
I doubt Sanji vs. Bon Clay is going to be handled too badly, aside from maybe the voices.
-
wow they did leave in the speech… guess I was wrong
hey looks like the dub is getting better. But we thought that before and then upsidedown Luffy happened so Im not getting my hopes up just yet. But it seems to be going in the direction of Dragonball and Funi now, slowly getting better... that's definately a good thing.
-
I've heard the Korean dub is actually really good, minus a ciggarette, op/ed, and plus bokken. But all the same script, scene, and BGM-wise.
LOL as I said. The Korean dub sounds like a better dub… almost US Naruto-dub like. I could live with the bokken edits at least unlike the ridiculous stuff the US dub does.
I bet the Korean dub doesn't mention desert doo doo.
-
@shining:
Usopps speech?
4kids have did the impossible they have made their version of usopp into a bad ass!
I still say that's impossible. XD
But I give my thumbs up that they at least kept the scene instead of ommitting it like their trend has been in the past. It could be a start of better things to come.While the wording may have changed slighty the basic idea of the speech is the same…
(this is from memory and thus the proper wording may be different)
It is time for me to stand up
it is time for a man to grab the bull by the horns
and a woodchuck by the feet
Luffy cannot lose I do not believe he can
That's not really the same speech…they had to go and ruin it by putting a cliche like "grab a bull by the horns" and then the even more retarded woodchuck comment it.
The original speech is
"There is a time when a man must not run from a fight...and that is when a friends dreams are laughed at!Luffy won't die.I KNOW he'll be pirate king one day. AND I WON'T LET YOU LAUGH AT THAT!"So unless your memory is really off, that's not "basically the same" at all.
But I have to say this is much better than what I was expecting from this.
-
I'd say something is seriously wrong here.
-
Alright, something is definately wrong.
-
So looks like his speech was burchered after all, but atleast it still has some meaning.
-
Err Im a moron, what are the mistakes in the first two pictures?
and "Grab the bull by the horns" and "Don't run from a fight"… kinda the same thing, but... well it could have been worse ^_^

This still amuses me.…Ugh. >> They could at least draw a line... or something. >>
The first one has breasts and the second has a non-fluorescent rifle.
-
Well, perhaps it was wrong to call them Mistakes. But, the breast and gun edits aren't in effect. The tree is still colored. They must either be forgetful, or there must be different editing teams (snow_yeti and I have concluded that they have to edit X amount of things per episode to get paid :p)
-
OH i didn't even see the rifle the first time.. as for the breasts… I thought she had them just smaller.
can i put those in my 4kids mistakes section?
-

I don't actually think they're bothering to edit Ms. Merry Christmas' breasts anymore. I mean… every frame she was in had her baggy... breasts. >_>
-
Of course! After going through so many, I thought, "Gee, wouldn't Que like this."
Don't forget.. the rest.

That's Carue. They love to erase red marks, you know. But, you'll probably notice it too when it comes - that they miss one/two frame(s). This is the one.
