Oh god you guys I just thought of something.
As the above post says:
Which means… we shouldn't put it past Toei to make Funi do something like that.
So this whole "air the episodes with the 4Kids edits and Funi audio" was thought about last year?
Way long ago… ...back when the idea of releasing episodes from the begining to DVD was still not public I dont even think FUNI had the rights to use those episodes yet. But you know what that means? It means things can change. Nothing is ever set in stone. FUNi wants to fulfill every fans wish... ...but they still need to make a profit, so you never know.
Toei's done some crazy things, but that would seem odd even for them. Why would they want FUNi to use the footage that helped cause One Piece to get horrible ratings to start with?
So they dont have to pay me. Again, they still need to make a profit. If they cant, then why continue the One Piece treasure?
Same here but Toei seems to like to tell us what we want instead of listening to us.
It was TOEI that made FUNi keep all the 4kids names for broadcast.
