Filler Match- Oh the humanity

MagiciteKefka

I must wonder, did 4Kids ever do Enies Lobby? In that case it would be fun to see what they did with Oimo and Kaashi.

They did till Arabastra and Skypia in some games I believe

IceBorg

I knew it was bad but not so much, you poor poor souls across the sea.

MikeyDPirate

Voted for Fullmouth D. Luffy since that was the most useless one there was. All the others makes somewhat sense considering the regularations. (Note keyword SOMEWHAT).

We forgot an interesting edit…Bellemere's shovel gun.

Kizuchan

Even the german dub wasn't that bad, except the abysmal CP9 arc of course. The rest is decent enough. Better than 4kids at least, having the original music and less cuts. I watched some of the 4kids stuff and it hurts.

Roronoa Dodo

I knew some of these were terrible, but what's with Fullmouth D. Luffy? Please, someone, explain the reason behind this bullshit of an edit.

Why is my single favorite edit not an option?

I voted every single one 4 Kids shouldn't edit One Piece for it is a sin

The entrance was the only thing I could tolerate in 4Kids OP dub

I thought that the rap was so bad that it was damn enjoyable.

I had a lot of trouble choosing which was the best/worst, and looking at the votes, it seems a lot of other people did also. I know some people have complained about Funimation's version, but just watching a scene or two of 4Kids' version should remind them of how much of an improvement we currently have.

@Juvar:

They made Helmeppo's suit purple?! THEY MADE IT DAMN PURPLE?!! That's freakin' UNFORGIVABLE!! Seriously, what the fck is WRONG with those pieces of feces, eh? Who fried their brains? This gotta go into the history of anime as one of the worst jokes ever. Oh, and that hammer. THAT HAMMER. What the fcking f*ck!? I harbour unfavourable feelings towards their person and fart in their general direction!!! Juvar - out! votes

LEAVE THE PURPLE SUIT ALONE!!! YOU ARE LUCKY IT EVEN PURPLES FOR YOU. My God! sigh Please, you are a good person, don't drag the purple suit into this.
Other than that… Yes!

Now the second opening, that's a bad one. Butchered the Japanese song.

what did they do to smoker and sanji?????????????? that's just unforgivable…...... considering that captain smoker is my favorite character due to the fact that i smoke too

Until you hear over and over and over again. Then it becomes trash.

@jackanapes:

Not to me. After I heard it for the twenty something time, I wanted to erase it straight from my memory.

RPGJay

I'm surprised so many people don't know about or remember what happened during the 4kids days. I guess we do have a lot of non American members here on AP.

Maybe it's better that way. >_> To forget it ever occured.

GJardim

Voted all, because everything 4kids did with One Piece was pointless.

Juvar

Seems like taking out Laboon and Little Garden, thus scenes in general, is perceived as definitely worse than editing stuff. I gotta agree.

WarshipArc

I'm putting my vote down for the hammer.
Not because holding a hostage at hammer point is stupid, I can live with that, but rather because;

they made the hammer look as retarded as humanly possible,

-its not even pointed at his head.

Luxor

I first saw a few episodes of the 4Kids dub, so unfortunately the rap is still engrained in my memory. It wasn't a nuisance back then, but after I had the Japanese version to compare to… :sad:

actually, if someone had not seen the ridiculous picture, the idea of someone smashing your head in with a hammer sounds more awful then having someone shoot you in the head.

That, and they're all just horrible. lol

Just when i had finally erased it from the confines of my consciousness its thrown right back in. Damn you hawkeye

And seeing that one clip with kaya and jango made things worse, besides the obvious censoring of that scene whoever decided one piece shouldnt have its orginal music should be lynched butt naked somewhere out in the arctic.

@The:

[hide]

Hahaha first time seeing that one!
What in the hell were they even thinking?
They probably thought the kids won't get what's actually going on but COME ON!
And the horrible music…constantly running in the background without any context.
Hahah

@Hawkeye:

Come on, it is pretty catchy.

I gotta admit, I consider this song so bad it's good again.:ninja:
It's a natural survivial instinct, I just can't take this opening serious at all and keep laughing instead.
I never watched the 4kids dub though, so I guess I can listen to it without that boiling rage building up whenever it hear it.

Shift

@RobbyBevard:

Yes.

Because David Moo is a bad, bad man.

He absolutely ruined Xellos in Slayers as well.

No, actually, he's got a pretty rockin' manly voice in other roles: Sawada's father in Gokusen, a general named Yamashita in one of the Capt. Tylor OVAs, etc. Reminds me of some kinda alternate Steven Blum. He was just terribly, TERRIBLY miscast and directed as Sanji, 'is all.

Here, just listen to him as Tayama from Shootfighter Tekken: http://www.crystalacids.com/database/request/clips.php?roleid=17345

andre

Sanji's giant edit is the worst to me, while the rap is the best. When i was younger I actually thought it was kind of cool.

Castelmore

What's with Little Garden ? No weapons ? No booze ? I don't get it.

Anyway, Croc's water… Just ridiculous.

Jazzfeezy

Every edit and everything is terrible lol

LuffyWinner

Best filler match ever!!

Nami is a sly fox!

Outerspec

They took out the Little Garden Arc. That is simply unforgivable. That and them not having Laboon.

mpz777

I voted for everything. It's all bad and it should be burned with a very, very large fire! Other than the rubber knife and Kaya's magic chakram, I was also look for poison suction cups, cockney Shanks, french Mihawk and Lucky Roo's pop gun.

I found a few videos too:

I did find one more video on what Skypiea and the character voices would have sounded like if 4kids had held on to the license. However, I'm putting a WARNING on this video. It's almost 10 min. long and the puns… o god the puns... and after watching you'll probably want to blow your brains out, I know I did.

@Castelmore:

What's with Little Garden ? No weapons ? No booze ? I don't get it.

As Outerspec stated above, the 4Kids version skipped Little Garden completely. The crew went straight from "Misty" Peak to Drum…

No Broggy or Dorry, thus thoroughly ruining any chance that the Oimo/Kashii duo in Enies Lobby would have made sense, had they gotten that far.
No Mr. 3 or Ms. Goldenweek, though the former inexplicably was left in for his brief role in Alabasta...

Similarly, they also skipped the entirety of the Twin Capes portion with Crocus, Mr. 9 and Ms. Wednesday/Vivi (though obviously this pair resurfaced at "Misty" Peak), and turned Laboon into an iceberg...

Sorry. The horrendousness of his Sanji outweighs any of that.

And thats on top of the fact that his Xellos was already unforgivable sin. There's a reason he was the ONLY actor that didn't come back to dub Slayers Revolution.

That one edit where Zoro was tapping his sword with the 'lollipop' was funny. Pointless the the max but I guess that was just 4Kids last 'hurrah' before losing the rights.

I been wanting to search out the possible Skypeia 4Kids voices. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

I've seen a few of the images like what's in the original post, but I had never seen any video clips. But, RoboBlue and Al made sure I got a full dose of torture when they found out. I'm honestly quite horrified at the travesty 4Kids created… O_o

Yeah, don't get Pirates Carnival or Grand Adventure. The only english version of a One Piece game worth getting IMO is Unlimited Adventure for the Wii since Funimation dubbed it and because it's a great game, but it is rare to find now.

silversatyr

Lollipop Sanji
This I can understand, even if I don't like it personally. Having one of the main characters a smoker might encourage children to smoke.*

Hammertime!
This I cannot understand. It's a flintlock pistol. Most kids play with more realistic toy guns than this! It's stupid especially in place of an antiquated gun that fits the era the show is going for. That's like taking guns out of police or western cartoons. Or ray-guns out of space cartoons.

Bellemere! To your room at once! Because Bellemere was poked to death, of course. How could I have missed that?! Idiots. Any child with half a brain knows that she didn't just disappear into nothingness because she was poked.

Fullmouth D. Luffy
Why? Seriously, is there a reason for this to be edited? If it's because it looks better (in their opinion) than having his mouth wide open, wrong!

White Magic. Complete and utterly racist. How pathetic!

Captain Blueballs
Oh no! Buggy got kicked in the shin! Of course that'll stop his attack!

"Chaser" has a serious jaw dysfunction Argh! Smoker smokes. It's part of his character description and his name, even if they did change it to Chaser. He still kept his smoking abilities, hence the reason smoke is coming from his mouth. Also, if they want to do the whole editing thing they should be consistent and not miss scenes… like they did. If you're going to do it, do it right.

Little Garden? Sounds boooring! Granted, at the time they had no idea that this would come back to haunt them. The CP9 saga had either just began or wasn't started when they got to this point but still, as someone else said, this is not an anime where bits can be cut out without considering that they might come back to stab them in the face. The least they should have done was asked a Toei representative to ask Oda if that part was necessary or not. Or just kept it in. Especially considering how it affects Usopp's character development.
Kaya's got no gun!
I never saw the Usopp joining arc so I never got to see the magical chakram or Kaya's slingshot… thank God. It's ridiculous that they'd think a slingshot (or hammer... -_-;) would pose enough of a threat to someone like Kuro to use as a sort of bargaining chip. Especially in the hands of someone who hasn't used one before.

What's a "laboon" And again, an important part cut out 'just because'. Especially a cute character that they could merchandise the hell out of. Bad business sense there, 4Kids.
Nico no cleavage Robin, Y'all!
Because no kid has ever seen breasts of any kind before. Especailly not on their teenage sisters or girls they go to school with. You know, because every girl in America covers their cleavage all the time… -_-;

Bring me your most expensive…WATER!
Again, an understandable edit, but if they're going to change it to grape juice, then change the colour… it doesn't make sense!
Watergun fun! Yay
I'm sure Crocodile lets all of his employees carry a weapon that could severely weaken him with an accidental misfire… NOT! Oh, and the Marines are soooo gonna catch a lot of pirates by squirting them with water. I could understand if all pirates were fruit users, or Crocodile, but considering that they didn't realise Croc was a bad guy... -_-; Again, it's not like they're carrying bloody machine guns or uzis or sawn-off shotguns to begin with anyway! Flintlock period weaponry shouldn't need to be edited. How hard is it to get your hands on one, let along use it properly.

Sanji's elegant voice
Now, don't get me wrong, I hated ~~Tristan~~Sanji's voice in the dub as much as the next person, but I can understand that they wanted to stick with someone they knew. I can understand, but it doesn't mean I liked.*

*WARNING: Rant.

I am Australian. What does this mean? It means I only saw One Piece when it was shown on my brothers Pay TV. The first episode I ever saw of OP was during the Alabasta arc - the filler with the sandship. My first thought was 'WTF is this? This is what passes for anime these days? Look at that animation. Pfft! Naruto is so much better than this shit!'. I dropped the idea of ever wanting anything to do with One Piece.
A few months after, I was surfing OneManga (before its reform) and managed to come across a recommendation thread. I'd caught up on Bleach and Naruto, read a bit of some other manga and was looking for something that would hold my interest. Someone had mentioned OP as an awesome read that was long and lots of fun. I was, of course, skeptical of this. Afterall, wasn't that the manga that anime with the weird animation and terrible characters with annoying voices based on? Never-the-less, I was bored and decided, why not give it a go?

I have since given up on reading Bleach, I still keep track of Naruto, but my only manga love is One Piece. It is the only one I read seriously, religiously and I can say that I might not be here today if it weren't for this manga. Now, I know that sounds very melodramatic, but I'm going to share something very personal today.

A few years ago, I was very suicidal. I still have bad days but not as bad as I once was. Back then I was desperate for anything to make me hold on one more day. I knew feeling that way was - not stupid or anything, but not right, either. So I was very desperate. It was thanks to OP that I managed to hold on. Every time I thought 'let this be over', I remembered that I still hadn't found out what was wrong with Robin, or what would happen to the Mugiwara's without their shadows, or how they were going to save Caimie, or if Luffy would be able to find Ace or escape Impel Down. It gave me a reason to want to wait another week, just one more (mind you, waiting extra weeks when Oda was sick or taking time off were especially torture-some, but I managed to get by, re-reading the manga or watching the subbed anime). And I think back now and wonder at just how close I was to doing something very, very stupid. If I hadn't picked up OP I don't think I'd still be alive today. Naruto is fine, but it doesn't draw me in. D.GrayMan is okay, but I don't care about the characters that much. FMA is great but it's not as charming and engaging.

I love OP and I think I always will. And because of 4kids stupid dub I nearly passed it over completely.

I've heard a rumor that the removal of Little Garden and Laboon is so they could get to Chopper quicker, and sell more merchandise and shit.

Is that true?
