^ Wait…wha?...Isn't that worse?! Poor Kohza.
Not to mention that they sent Kuina to the hospital, ruined Chopper's story dramatic ending, sent Bellmare to a dungeon, and made puns every 5 seconds.

I was disappointed by some of the edits, but I know they have to do them. But I liked all the voices a lot this episode.
Except 4Kids also changed Luffy punching Crocodile in the face to him punching Crocodile in the shoulder, instead. 4Kids DOES have a history of changing things for the sake of edits. They changed Kohza getting shot in the shoulder by a rifle…to getting three fire arrows to the shoulder without bursting into flames.
Which is so much less violent by the way. XD
Yeah obviously it should still have super soakers lobster…

But most, if not all, all of the other hits were unedited to Crocodile.
@Kairouseki:
Forgot to mention how awesome Bellamy's voice is. I'd have to say that his is my favorite voice in the series so far. I can't wait to hear Kuma, Doflamingo, and Mihawk's voice next week. We also get to see if his necklace is edited or not (I'm betting it won't but I guess the sword could've been left alone because it's not as obvious a cross as his necklace). We also get to see if Kuma's bible has bible written on it or not.
I can't wait to hear Doflamingo either. Too bad Kuma never had any lines in the Japanese version.

Crippling Kuina for life was better than having her die by falling down some stairs.

Cricket:What are you punks doing in my property! shoots water from water pistol
Sanji: He almost messed up my do.

That's not the one I'm talking about. I'm talking about BEFORE Gum Gum Storm. Luffy originally punched Crocodile square in the face. This was edited to him punching Crocodile in the shoulder.

Except she was crippled because a gang of kids ganged up on her, beating her until she was crippled.
Most of the edits so far have been because they were blows to the head or face, which tend to be more brutal. 4kids would just make the blow hit somewhere else, but at least Funi implies it.
Then again, the new episode hasn't aired yet for me, so there could be more edited than I think there is.
Heso!
On the subject of editting I am sure that as time goes on there will be less edits to the violence. It will take time to get this to happen. I started to watch Naruto on CN. In the beginning they edited more of the violence but now as time has gone by it has gotten less.
I have to wonder if the edits for Funi One Piece are being done more because instead of the show being shown as something for little kids now it is being shown as a mature story for young adults. Now it might make sense to have less edits but now the action is back to being completely serious. So that may be one reason for the edits.
I believe that with time the edits will lessen.
Now I must say that I am really liking how the dubbing is going. I am also happy when I hear the great BMG. So I believe that slowly One Piece is recovering from the injury that 4Kids dealt it. However it will need more time before all the bugs are worked out.
I would rather have Roshio SENTENCED TO THE SHADOW REALM.
Except she was crippled because a gang of kids ganged up on her, beating her until she was crippled.
Yes, I know that. What made you think I didn't?
Sanji's voice now sounds nothing like Trunks (which he sometimes slipped into). Nice.
Great episode.
I wonder if 4KIDS would have said that Cricket was sick. Or maybe they would just show him falling asleep in the middle of the fight and have Chopper say that he was tired or something. =/
Luffy : Whats wrong with him?
Chopper : Oh nothing, he just is sleepy.
Luffy: Who the HELL goes to sleep in the middle of a match?
Chopper: Luffy, this is the script 4kids gave us. Don't get mad. And don't forget your brother is the one who goes to sleep while eating.
As though anyone cares, but I've gotta retract my statement 'bout Cricket's tattoo. Turns out it says Maroon, not Monbran…
Well I for one am sad they have to edit what they do in One Piece.. but what worries me the MOST is what's going to happen to Water 7.. MY GOD.. there's SOOOO much violence in that arc, Iceberg getting shot, Paulie getting stabbed multiple times, Tom-san being stabbed through with a harpoon, Robin point 4 guns at Iceberg and him pointing one at her, and many.. many.. MANY other violent things and everyone is soo bloody xD I just… am trying not to imagine all the edits.. xD
Thank god they'll have uncut dvd's xD
On an unrelated note.. do you guys have any idea if Iceberg makes a small appearance in Unlimtied Adventure? Obviously I've never played it, but I just wondered anyways xD
Cricket:What are you punks doing in my property! shoots water from water pistol
Sanji: He almost messed up my do.
Watch out he may also have poison suction cups and rubber knives!

Water 7 is still ages away.
Why do we all keep forgetting that DBZ and Naruto both suffered the same amount of violence edits before allowing more to be shown?

I am in agreement. RobinNami-chuwan is so smart.

However, there's no way of knowing that One Piece will be the same.

Thank you ChibiGoku!^^
I think that One Piece will be able to get away with more things as we get into Skypia. Hopefully anyway.

I'm pretty sure the edits will lighten up by Water 7, so I wouldn't worry about it until we actually get there. And, like you said, there's uncut dvds!
I'm not sure about Iceberg appearing in Unlimited Adventure, though, since I don't have it. (I plan on getting the English version once it comes out.)
I imagine this is gonna sound pretty lame, but I think this has got to be viewed as a little plant that has to be allowed to grow to fruition. Just give it time, it'll happen.
Hmm… Maybe a better analogy would be a cold we just gotta wait out...
@Lobster:
I know. But that was the only one they edited.
Only one, eh?

Oooo, sneaky sneaky!
Whoa, Luffy's punch must have been incredibly powerful. He sent Crocodile flying without even touching him!
I just remembered Cricket was supposed to have a stogie in this episode…I didn't notice.

We're seeing Dragon Ball levels of massive super shockwaves here.
This was a great episode as usual. But I am a little irritated by the fact that cartoon network rated it with PG-V rating when it really didn't deserve it. It made me think they loosened up on the edits. But what can ya do?
Also, one other things I should mention:
FUNimation, despite editing the "R" to "L", they left the dry blood on Zoro's picture alone. The "Marine" logo (what you could see on the picture, due to being mostly obscured) was also left alone. While I know it shouldn't be a surprise, since 4Kids did before did leave the dry blood, but given FUNimation editing static blood initially, It's a slight surprise FUNimation didn't here.

Awesome, looks like i'll be able to do the edit list tonight then!

Well, one of the only ones. Didn't you see that clip I posted? And atleast they showed something, instead of nothing, like Funi. Luffy punched Crocodile, along with many others, plenty of times in the 4Kids dub, with no flashes.

Mike McFarland DID say they'd be sneaking stuff in.
Ok, Episode is uploaded.

Once again, Cartoon Network does not decide what its shows are rated. Did Rockstar decide to rate Manhunt 2 AO? No. Same thing here.
Thank you ChibiGoku!^^
I'm starting to believe that Lobster is a faithful 4KIDS fan.
Well this episode was great for me, and I still don't get how this got the "V" mark. But oh well, the rating system is screwy in America for anime sometimes…

At least you can tell that they're getting hit in the face and whatnot in Funi's version. That's better than having them get hit in the shoulder or something instead.

Honestly either you're still suckling from 4kids nipple or you just can't accept that some necessary edits need to be made. We all knew before the dub started that it WOULD be like this, and I have to say that Funi has not done a bad job at all. You're just throwing a pity party now and honestly no one is playing the world's tiniest violin for you.

Do you guys not read what I type? 4Kids left in most face punches. Funi is editing away from every action sequence that occurs. Weather it be flashes, or just moving the screen away.

How is it necessary if it's edited more then the 4Kids version, but gets a PG rating?
I'm starting to believe that Lobster is a faithful 4KIDS fan.
I'm not. I hate their BGM, voices, ect… I'm just saying that I'm not at all impressed with the way Funi is handling every action sequence.
damn that ep was almost done downloading for me and then at 89% it stopped T__T I almost cried ti was sooo close to being done T__T

Yeah, as Tsukento has shown us, they definitely keep in those face punches.

And the action sequences have consisted of what body parts?
The faces?
OH RIGHT!
Once again, Cartoon Network does not decide what its shows are rated. Did Rockstar decide to rate Manhunt 2 AO? No. Same thing here.
I heard you the first time dude. I don't know who gives these shows their ratings and I don't really care. And judging from one of your post, you don't know either.
Alrighty… what I miss?
Remember that Mcfarland said they can't show the connection between the face and the fist/knee/something. I watched that clip you posted, Lobster, and it's a back view of Croc, so you don't actually see Luffy's fist connect. That's why it was left unedited.
