DBZ episode 45

Japanese title: “Vegeta’s Ambition! I am the Greatest Warrior in the Universe!!”
English title: “Frieza Strikes!”

General stuff:

In the Japanese version Cui says that Vegeta and him have always been evenly matched. In the dub he says that Vegeta’s powerlevel has never even been near him.

NICE! This is awesome!

DBZ episode 46

Japanese title: “Goku’s Power Unleashed!! Six Days To the Far End of the Galaxy”

9/10

DBZ episode 52

Japanese title: “Listen to Me, Goku! Hands off Freeza”
English title: “The Past and Future”

General stuff:

- Japanese Piccolo says that him and Goku can take Freeza together. Dub Piccolo also takes Gohan and Krillin in the equation.

- For people who care: Japanese Tenshinhan’s joke was “You think up your nose is secret but it’s not.

Verdict:

9/10

DBZ episode 53

I'm now at the point where Funi stopped changing the dialogue, so now it's really going to be horrible. Horrible enough that every ep I've done now has gotten a five or less. So I'm just gonna stop giving ratings completely. >_>
