Kaio's great DBZ sub/dub comparison! (Completed!)

Is the dutch version and english sounding oh shit? I honestly have never heard anything in dutch before

It is.

DBZ episode 166

Japanese title: “A Final Battle Closes In On Goku!! The Mystery of the New Tenkaichi Tournament”
English title: “What is the Tournament?”

Dub Roshi says that there’s a time difference of five years between the 21st and 22nd Budokais, even though it’s only three years. However, JAPANESE ROSHI ALSO SAYS IT’S FIVE YEARS!

loltoei

Dub Roshi says that they had to call Goku vs. Tien a draw, even though Tien officially won.

Roshi: By the time the 23rd tournament rolled around Goku and Chi-Chi had married.

...

*Chi-Chi gives Gohan the bottle*

Goku: He sure eats a lot, doesn’t he?

Not even the real Goku is that stupid.

DBZ episode 167

Japanese title: “100% Ratings!! The Cell Games Call for Death With An Exclusive Live Broadcast”
English title: “The Doomsday Broadcast”

A fairly good episode.

DBZ episode 168

Japanese title: “Goku and Gohan... The Hero Father and Son’s Ultimate Level-Up”
English title: “Meet Me In the Ring”

Blah.

DBZ episode 169

Japanese title: “Goku’Composure!? Let’s Rest and Wait for the Cell Games”
English title: “No Worries Here”

Goku calls Chi-Chi “babe” in this episode. Completely in-character.

DBZ episode 170

Japanese title: “A Warriors’s Rest... The Girl, the Lies and Gohan’s Resolution”
English title: “A Girl Named Lime”

Lime calls Gohan a pervert in the original, because he accidentally gropes her (non-existant) breasts. Dub Lime calls him a fiend though.

The return of General Tao who was never a general to begin with.

“General” Tao asks 5000 just as a salary. Tao Pai Pai says he’ll kill someone for 50 million zeni.

Tao: I’m your friendly neighbourhood killer!

HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT.

Goku: Hey! Let’s boogey!

=_=

DBZ episode 171

Japanese title: “Hidden Power!! When Gohan Was a Baby”
English title: “Memories of Gohan”

It wasn’t actually Gohan’s birthday as the dub suggests. Gohan just turned 11 (*SHUDDER*) in the RoSaT and Chi-Chi wanted to celebrate that.

Gohan’s wish wasn’t actually said in the original.

DBZ episode 172

Japanese title: “Seek Out Kami-sama!! Goku’s Great Instantaneous Movement”
English title: “A New Guardian”

Blah.

DBZ episode 173

Japanese title: “Dende’s First Task!! The Dragon Balls Restored”
English title: “Dende’s Dragon”

Mr. Satan sounds almost exactly like his Japanese counterpart. ...and Hercule is a dub only name of course.

DBZ episode 174

Japanese title: “A Hard Problem for Goku!? Take Back the Dragon Balls”
English title: “The Puzzle of General Tao”

Jimmy Firecracker is a dub only title (obviously).

DBZ episode 175

Japanese title: “Those Who Would Challenge Cell!! The Curtain Rises on the Battle”
English title: “The Games Begin”

NUDDIN

DBZ episode 176

Japanese title: “Just a Moment!! The Satan Squad Goes On a Rampage”
English title: “Losers Fight First”

This episode sucked. I didn’t pay much attention to it.

DBZ episode 177

Japanese title: “Fight Time, Goku!! The Ultra-Tense Cell Games”
English title: “Goku vs. Cell”

This episode was fabulous.

DBZ episode 178

Japanese title: “Direct Hit to Earth!! Cell’s Extra-Large Kamehame-Ha”
English title: “Cell’s Bag of Tricks”

The dub announcer guy talks waaaaaaaay too much.

Cell: Kienzan discs!

That sounded so badass, and the Japanophile inside of me shed a little tear of joy. Funi probably didn’t know what Kienzan meant though, since Cell basically says Circle of Ki discs.

DBZ episode 179

Japanese title: “Defeat or Death!? Goku’s Turnabout Ploy”
English title: “No More Rules”[/u]

This episode reminded me of how horrible Kaio-sama sounds in the dub.

You’d also think that after 170 episode of dubbing they’d finally know how to pronounce Kamehameha. But naw.

DBZ episode 180

Japanese title: “A Conclusion to the Deathmatch!! Goku’s Declaration of Surrender!?”
English title: “The Fight is Over”

Announcer guy: Flaming fishsticks!

wat

In the original Gohan knows Goku is going to lose when he starts spamming ki blasts. Hell, you can outright see his worried face. Of course dub Gohan is dumbed down and makes comments like “You’re doing it, dad!” and “Finish it, dad!”.

That's because it's 95% filler.

DBZ episode 181

Japanese title: “He Who Takes Over as Strongest... His Name is Gohan”
English title: “Faith in a Boy”

This episode has a lot of “Gohan inner monologue”, which of course is dub only rambling. It must’ve been a sign of the great blashphemy to come.

moar

DBZ episode 30

Japanese title: “A Hot Unbounded Battle! Goku vs. Vegeta”
English title: “Goku vs Vegeta”

Sub Nappa - T-thanks, Vegeta...
Dub Nappa - Thanks alot, Vegeta...

What the FUCK!?!?!?!? Why the fuck did those stupid fucking fucks change this?! Did they really fucking have to add "alot" into it? Those IDIOTS! The original has and always will be the best! Those shitty fuckers at FUCKimation have to change everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And hell, even if this line wasn't changed, IT'D STILL SUCK!!! Thanks to those shit knockers that they call voice actors!! MY GOD, I HATE FUCKIMATION SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

inorite

They also added a "u" after Chaoz's name. THAT U DOES NOT BELONG THERE ITS CHAOZ NOT CHAOZU FUNI IS INCOMPETENT

I SHALL USE THAT IN COURT AGAINST FUNI

DBZ episode 182

Japanese title: “Become Enraged Gohan! Call Forth Your Dormant Power”
English title: “Gohan’s Plea”

In the flashback Gohan’s powerlevel is still 1370 and rising.

Dub Gohan again talks way too much, especially in the flashback.

DBZ episode 183

Japanese title: “Teeny Menaces!! Attack of the Cell Juniors”
English title: “Android Explosion”

Piccolo: ...he’s also a scared 11 year old boy!

...I don’t care. He’s 9 and that’s final.

Dub #16 fails to mention that the bomb will also destroy all the Z fighters.
