    Continuing the series, I take a look at all the changes Nicktoons made to Dragon Ball Z Kai when it broadcast in the early 2010's.
    This video covers the third quarter of the Frieza Arc.
    Episodes 43-48.

    I thought a lot of this stuff was lost to time; thanks for preserving it and being so thorough! I felt this way back when they aired on Nick, but I'm super grateful the "edited version" of the lines weren't cringey; they still got the necessary story across and preserved all the important character development and personality.

      7:08 Nah, Frieza's Line was just made more savage 🗿 9:26 That sounds more menacing since the Saiyan Race isn't about living more about winning every battle. 9:50 Sounds more like something Frieza would say 💀 11:41 This's what Frieza would say since he's playing with his prey before snuffing the life out of them and is surprised that Piccolo is still alive and trying. 13:01 Dang King Kai why'd you got make it sound morbid 🥶 15:45 Extra Savage today aren't we Frieza 16:23 I like this line from Goku better than Uncut 16:45 Like this line from Gohan better than Uncut it sounds more emphatic and vengeful. 17:08 Sounds more in line with his Race Superiority Complex. 17:38 Sounds more like something Frieza would say since he feels superior and wants to make Goku suffer

      Yeah, sometimes using synonyms or alluding to death can be more effective than just saying “die” all the time. Avatar: The Last Airbender did a good job with this, which made the rare times they *did* get to use the words “kill” or “die” hit harder. It all depends on how you choose to word things.

      @@lazyxeno9404Yeah, honestly, most of these changes aren’t that bad. The Toonzai/4Kids version was VERY egregious with how far they changed the series, but the Nicktooms version kept way more than you’d expect, and even let some unedited scenes slip here and there; even Android 18 swearing in the last episode.
      A lot of the references to death are still there anyway, just reworded with synonyms. The uncut version is obv still better but it does get a little repetitive just using the word “die”all the time.
      Mixing it up and alluding to it in ways that sound cool sometimes sound more effective.
      Avatar: The Last Airbender did that, and even though most of those lines are probably just them trying to work around Nick’s strict guidelines, we got a lot of really memorable lines out of it.

    It's honestly impressive how much of the story is kept intact in the Nicktoons version, sure it censors every mention of death but the use of words like "they're gone" and "what you did" make it pretty obvious that's what happened to various characters. They don't actually shy away from it, they just choose their words carefully and only cut out the brutal action scenes to get past censors.
    Props to the people who handled these edits, especially whoever trimmed the fight scenes because they pretty consistently picked the right beginning & ending frames to make the cuts seemless.

    Thanks for documenting all these changes! I grew up with the Nicktoons version as a kid and watched the uncut version a while later.
    I’m grateful how lax the Nicktoons version was with its edits, and some of its line reads and line changes I actually prefer over the uncut version. It’s also crazy how much of the uncut version got slipped into the Nicktoons version, especially instances like Android 18 swearing in the last episode.
    The Toonzai/4Kids version went WAY crazier with the edits, even more than the Ocean dub in Z. It’s also thanks to the Nicktoons version that it introduced a whole new generation of fans to the series, just like the Toonami version did (which was also censored in its own right.)
    Double thanks for using the Yamamoto music for this. He’s a horrible person for plagiarizing so much of his work, but a lot of his tracks for Kai really left an imprint on me for a lot of people. It’s hard to watch Kai with the Kikuchi score, mostly because they did such a bad job at rescoring it, with the same few tracks over and over when he made hundreds of them for Z. I didn’t start softening up to the original Japanese music until DBZ: Kakarot.
    This whole set of videos brings back a lot of memories watching through the series again. Keep it up!

    It's interesting that the ocean and funi original dub air in the late 90's and early 2000's is pretty much uncensored compared to this.
    It's still censored with things like hfil and tien saying dead ppl will be okay. But it shows the difference a decade makes in terms of what you can show on tv.
    When I was a kid I liked the series because of the brutal fights, the blood and the seriousness of the series. It's a pity we can't do it anymore.

      The Nicktoons version was also very lightly edited compared to the 4Kids/Toonzai version, and especially the Ocean dub of Z. It’s thanks to the Nicktoons version that it introduced an entirely new generation to Dragon Ball, the same way the Toonami version did, so it did a lot of good.
      A lot of uncensored scenes even slipped their way into the Nicktoons version, and when they brought the DBZ movies over, they were edited even less.
