Dragon Ball Z

The first time I heard this show was going to show in the U.S., I was so very exited about it!.....Then after the first episode I thought it was allright, but then all of a sudden it kept getting worse and worse with each episode....

But why do I even bother watching it since it isn't so good?

People keep asking me if it stinks so bad why watch it? Well my response is I watch it because I study every error they made so I can make this page. I was planning to make this page a long time ago (since the second episode) but I figured it might get better. But the thing that pushed me to make this page was when I saw the Freeza Series! Don't get me wrong but Freeza is my very favorite evil villian in the whole DBZ series. And the way they messed him up? Oh... that really got me upset in the highest manner possible. First of all it was the way they misspelled his name, then it was his voice and finally it was the way they messed up his cruelty level. To me he seems like an "Elmo" villian of the whole series!

What they took out, messed up, never showed, censored, and what sucked in the American DBZ episodes

One thing about this is that Every Episode in the American version has been given a new title! If you want to know what the names are, you can go

Here

((Note:All the episodes has add libs to it, so I just added that in some of the places, also I apologize for not telling every error in detail...just over exhausted from creating this page! But it is worth it for telling my mind about the American DBZ censorships!))

Raditzu episodes

Okay, Raditz is the older brother of Goku. His episodes had not as much censorship as most of the DBZ episodes. But let's begin.

1.The Goofy farmer voice. (Was a voice that stupid really needed?)
2.It showed no blood when Raditz flung that bullet at the farmer, instead it skipped a scene.
3.Raditz being polite.....here the point when I got angry.....he said "Oh sorry , I thought you were some one else".....I doubt that Raditz would say sorry.. (but I didn't see this part in the Japanese series, I had to do stuff..:()
4.Piccolo not wanting to start a fight..."I have no interest in starting a fight." This scene I just stared blankly on the T.V.
5.Raditz's "Keep your Eyes on the Birdie" 6.The Name Krillen....they could have said Kurririn, his original name, it's not that hard to pronounce (Ku Re' Rin)
7.Finally, Raditz saying their home was destroyed 3 years ago by a comet... more like 30 years....and as for the comet...I guess he just didn't know who blew it up.....but I do ^_^

1.They edited some cuss words in some scenes(like you can't tell when they are so angry)
2.Did you see how Goku's mouth got deformed when he was talking?
3.The Scouter has a manual? Yeah right.
4.Piccolo's powerlevel is 322 when he first saw Raditz, now it's 320. Error in acting I think so.
5.They spelled Saiyan- Sayen(had close caption on at the time)
6.Goku told Raditz "he never even took me out to a baseball game"
7.Skipped the part where Piccolo is bleeding.

1.They skipped a scene when Piccolo's arm was off.
2.Piccolo's "Special Beam Cannon Fire" (Now this really was a very poor translation, in fact this was a very wrong translation! His attack was called the "Makankousappo"...can't really translate it, but I think it is something twirl of the devil)
3.Goku didn't say Kamehameha instead he said to Raditz "Coming....Ha...after 4 seconds....HA!!!!" so pitiful...
4.When Raditz was hit, his shoulder wasn't bleeding.
5.The fighters face should be more messed up with blood.
6.It never showed Gohan getting hit be Raditz.

1.Special Beam Cannon

3.Doesn't show the Coolest part of this episode, how the blast goes through Raditz and the big hole in Goku's back.
4.Vegeta has a stupid voice
5.Vegeta's wish for immortality. (I think it was suppose to be a wish to make him the legendary Super Saiyajin)
6.King Kai- Suppose to be Kiao-sama or Kiaoh(seen in the front fender of his car)and Kiao-sama is suppose to be Lord Kiao if translated(subtitled episode)
7.King Yemma- suppose to be Enmadaiou-sama, "King of Hell." The huge gate keeper god.
