The COMPLETE Censorship of 4KIDS One Piece
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- Welcome to the definitive video about the 4Kids version of One Piece! I have spent the last 4 years watching the 4Kids and original japanese broadcast versions of One Piece side by side and noting every single edit, change or censorship that was made and compiling them into videos on my channel.
Now that my journey is over, I have combined all the videos into one huge compilation for you all to enjoy! This version also includes additional censorships I missed throughout my original videos, along with corrections to mistakes that I made too.
Hope you enjoy!

Comment your favourite edit or censorship! Thank you to everyone who came with me on this journey. For those who are joining for the first time, I hope that you enjoy the video. I went through the pain of watching the 4Kids version of One Piece frame by frame so you don't have to, so please sit back, relax and enjoy the amazing and hilarious world of the One Piece 4Kids dub.
How Funimation Censored One Piece | Part 1 is out NOW: ruclips.net/video/duNW6Ymb6vI/видео.html
do you want to know the stupidest or the most reasonable?
@@user-mv8gj4cp8m Give me both! :D
Zoros voice actor casually screaming his lungs out against Luffy in whiskey peaks just got me crying
I’ll say this. You can look this up if you want, that Oda himself chosen the cast for the Funimation Dub. I’ll give him that
Pirate rap it's cool, replacement Japan food to American is funny
but gun removal is just a weird because as we remember 4kids one piece it was just a deal with toei and region limits on child shows was different so 4kids had something to do with too much blood and guns
"Zoro has the compass. He'll keep us on course."
Vivi, what have you done?
and the strawhats were never seen again
@@TheMightyWobbnah they made it to the one piece through pure luck
They sailed right through the 4th wall
@@Beardieboi173 nah they de-materialized and re-materialized where the One Piece is
zoro is truly scp 920
4Kids choosing to downplay Luffy's first bounty is one of the most mistifying changes to me out of these. Do they want kids, who are watching a show where the main protagonist is a pirate, to not think being wanted by the government is cool?
They don't want it, but lowering his bounty doesn't make him less cool. He is a rubber man who uses his powers as skillfully as he can, more than any other character with rubber abilities or similar, so it's useless to lower his bounty.
Wait, they changed luffy’s first bounty?
@@venomgaming7014 They got rid of everyone's reactions to it except for Shanks, and cut part of his short.
That's the thing, given how overtly reactive and sensitive 4kids were, I don't think 4kids would have wanted to plant the idea to child audiences that being rebellious to the government is cool. I too don't fully understand their logic though.
@@shinycat1232thats called plot armor, newb.
Ain't no way they thought Kuina getting beaten up by a boy was better than her falling down the stairs 💀
Just like the idea of Bell-mere being... imprisoned in a dungeon forever (And then NOT saved after Arlong Park) is somehow "better" than being shot.
no, you see: it's a good thing they changed it! now no one dies! I mean, they replaced it with a girl getting beaten to the brink of death so bad she can never recover, and someone else getting thrown in a dungeon to die of malnutrition & neglect, but that's off screen. if it's off screen, it doesn't count. no one dies on screen, so it's better!
but seriously, a simple realistic accident of slipping on the stairs to getting beaten so bad you're bedridden for the rest of your life. they made that soooo much darker
@@athrun2one piece is a joke and will always be a joke because of the stairs

@@s.c.p.682yes
4kids : oh look, a show with cartoony artstyle and lots of humor, a perfect fit for kids, let's pick this one to dub
4kids after 20 episodes and 50+ censors : we made a huge mistake
That's what they get for thinking "Animated" = "For kids." It was a huge waist of time that changed nothing. They censored guns, yet today we still have gun violence and school shootings, so...
@@VulpinetideCuteTimes0w0 well said
@@VulpinetideCuteTimes0w0Almost as if censoring violent media has no effect on curbing actual violence out in the streets.
Actually they didn’t want one piece at all lol. It came in a package deal with other anime iirc. You can find stories about it all over
@@shamanicdude8605If anything that censorship makes us more ignorant to it
4kids made me consider One Piece as a huge joke for YEARS.
It was so goofy and dumb I could never take it seriously even as a kid, it was only 10+ years later sometime in highschool I decided to give the One Piece anime a chance again because I would always peak at it after watching my weekly Shippuden and Bleach and wondered why and how it lasted so long.
So glad I gave it a second chance, can’t believe they let a studio just ruin an anime like this.
Literally the same thing happened except like 15 years later for me 😭😭 nobody told me
Same. I came across the 4kids hunk of junk when I was around 16 or 17 and called it "One Piece of shit" until THANKFULLY a fews years later, my boyfriend in college screamed "NOOOO! WATCH THE SUB!! IT'S AMAZING!" after I dropped my aforementioned name for it when he asked me if I liked it, I just thanked him last week for introducing me to the REAL One Piece. I'm all caught up to this day and awaiting more Egghead arc every week. I'll be 39 next month. Sooo now I've been with this thing since I was Luffy's age and now I'm about to be one year older than Brook when he died. XD What a ride. 4kids ALMOST ruined that.
I consider myself fortunate I was clued in to the anime community at the time and learned about Funimation getting the One Piece license from 4Kids the day after it happened. If you weren't there, it's hard to conceive how much JOY rang out through every fandom. Even anime fans who didn't like (subbed) One Piece were happy. It felt like the Beast had been slain… We didn't know at the time 4Kids never wanted One Piece and was _legally forced_ by Toei to take it.
Same here🤣
Took me nearly 20 years

If alternate universes exist, the only one I want to see is the universe where the 4kids dub got to modern day
God, imagine working as an animator, but the only task you ever get is to make ridiculous changes to make a story worse.
Imagine being the guy having to edit all the guns into finger guns or invisible guns on Yu-Gi-Oh, or the dude who had to edit all the hell shirts on dgbz xF😅
with that speech you will never boogie woogie again!

The funniest change, in my opinion, (not nessicarrily a censor but it's hilarious) is mihawks voice- the terrible French impression made me cackle
I'm quite sure it's supposed to Spanish, but ok

Either way peronas great
I like to believe that in the 4Kids One Piece world, there’s just one guy who goes around removing the signs of shops leaving them blank. Hence why they sometimes appear and reappear in the same episode.
It's an old comment but it's the perfect role for Pandaman in the 4Kids world.

To be 100% fair, THAT edit is par for the course for ANY cartoon airing in a "children's" timeslot. Same with smoking (the lollipop might have been less edit work and is also a neat unintentional shout-out to the detective series _Kojak_ -- its titular character always had a lollipop because he was an ex-smoker… "Who loves ya, baby?")
bad analogy juice goes hard, fuck alcohol

The funny thing is that the Water guns the Navy use in the 4Kids dub would probably be more effective given almost everyone they target has some form of Devil fruit powers.
Nah, not really remember, devil fruits are rare in the one peice universe. The avrage pirates have no devil fruits and just use haki and guns.
Nah, they only are affected by sea water and have to be 70% submerge to be affected. This was said by brook or luffy in a hot tub scene
That's not how the devil fruit works, but is how Cocodrile works so it would be a great weapon against him
@@haymandisciple4121no salt also works as seen on thriller bark
@@Yourhandaleshouldbe3wordslong I often forget Devil Fruits are considered rare since so many characters have eaten one.
Oddly enough I have an old online friend who had worked on the 4kids version of One Piece and I asked him if he knew why the sea was redone in some of the episode openings. According to him, it was because the opening episode title text for those episodes had the sea moving in the background and it was impossible to add a new still frame with the new texts without it looking weird. Other episodes had blank backgrounds so it was easy to either snap a frame and enter the new text fonts for the episode titles, or if needed, remove a few things from that shot. But the sea was everywhere around the original opening episode title text. So instead of looking amateurish by just taking a snapshot of the frame & not having the sea move behind the new English text, they opted to make a new 3d sea animation as a background drop for those particular episodes. Obviously after so much time went into that, they scrapped that approach for future episodes.
Thank the gods for digital animation lauers.
Sanji’s voice in the 4kids dub is genuinely hilarious
Its so bad its funny 😂
@@39zack The really insane thing is the same guy had voiced Xellos in the Slayers dub years earlier and no one really complained despite him sounding wildly different from the Japanese VA. But then Xellos is a very different character from Sanji -- David Moo was okay as Xellos but yes 100% he was a terrible Sanji. Eric Vale nailed it.
He sounds like a New Yorker who has bronchitis
If anyone here has ever seen Yu-Gi-Oh abridged...it sounds exactly like Tristans voice lol
@@mp3plaertokooltospellkoolr931 I was literally thinking this while watching thru the video
The thought process is truly baffling. Gum gum pistol? Too violent, can't reference guns. Hmmmm, bazooka is also too violent. Hey, you know what doesn't imply violence? _Double barreled shotguns_
40:30 Okay, I lost my shit at Zoro making chicken noises, that's gold

Ghost Stories energy
I remember when the 4kids version started airing here in the states. I would catch episodes at random every so often, and I remember just hating this show! I could put up with Yugioh or Pokemon cheesy writing, but something about 4kids One Piece really irritated me more than the others.
I remember watching an episode on toonami during the end of the Drum Island arc, and something seemed less annoying than the first time I saw it, not realizing it was the uncensored dub.
4kids ruined any interest I could have had in One Piece for almost 15 years! I was shocked when I heard how massively popular this show is and STILL on going. I started watching the series and now I’m committed to catching up one day! Currently at around episode 200!
To me One Piece is a kind of goofy you’re also meant to take seriously, but in the 4kids version they just do away with the seriousness and slap on another layer of uber goofiness to make it “4kids”. Which I of course think is so ridiculous because Avatar The Last Airbender was a show for kids, but also for everyone, it got into some seriously dark stuff but in a way that teaches you how to deal with and respond to tragedy and fear.
Anyways keep it up. My best friend forced me to watch One Piece and I only did it because he was my bestie. My perception of it was similar to yours except I just had it in my head that I only liked a select few mature anime, Monster, Berserk, Attack on Titan etc. and that One Piece was probably the epitome of anime I didn’t like. But watching it and then catching up with the manga was one of the few best things to ever happen to me lol. It is just so profound and beautiful and wholesome. Please take my advice and if you are, stop looking up one piece content and if you ever see it click “not interested” if a video pops up so the algorithm doesn’t send you anymore. You WILL get spoiled if you give the internet any reason to show you one piece stuff. Even if you just want to google a name or something to jog your memory there’s a good chance it’ll show you a spoiler related to whatever it is you searched (given everything is so interconnected and there are very few one off characters and places).
15:57 God forbid children will ever think of smiling
4kids edits just feel like a store manager having employees do meaningless tasks just so they can tell the regional managers that they were doing something.

The 4kids Strawhat Crew dying right after a filler arc is the funniest thing I've heard
You know what's the hilarious part? The water guns kinda make sense, if you consider devil fruit weakness.
youd really need a body of water for this to work not just getting them wet
@@itz_july229I mean just getting hit by sea water has been shown to be pretty effective
True
The 4kids years were crazy and hearing about this dub was the funniest thing ever. Guns were water guns, cigarettes were lollipops, Sonic was Usopp and all was safe in the world. Still baffling how they decided to kill off the straw hats after keeping them as safe as can be. Wonder how the VAs are, and what they think about the Live Action. Hope one day we can get a reunion.
?
Some of the VA were pretty iconic for their time.
@@alexthecat643Watch rhe 4Kids dub ending, it is summed up as "Rocks fall, everyone perishes."
Well, apparently David Moo retired from voice acting to become a bartender, and he’s actually doing pretty well.
Having Helmeppo think the Earth is flat makes no goddamn sense seeing as in a *sea-fairing* world like One Piece, literally everyone has been out on open water at some point, where you can literally see the curve on the horizon
Funny enough, Oden mentions once how surprised he was to find out that the world is round, but that's because he's from a country that's been isolated from the rest of the world for centuries.
Helmeppo is very sheltered and spoiled though, so maybe it makes sense?
Tbf is it any more insane then us having pictures of the world and people still thinking it's flat
Makes as much sense as any flat earther in this day too. We have planes, the shortest way to get from California to Japan is crossing the ocean.
So yeah, I think it’s an accurate depiction of a flat earther.
I work with a guy who thinks the world is flat, and he explains horizons by saying our eyes can only see so far. Like we're in a video game and stuff doesn't load in past your view distance settings. The fact that we can see stars kinda messes with that idea, of course.
14:42 phew, that was close! almost had children knowing that cannonballs were dangerous
Yeah, and having zoro actually disappear with context 😮💨
I like how Mihawk just calls Yoru "this black sword"
This series is what got me into one piece and I would watch every video after I got their in the show, I was so sad when I finished the rainbow mist arc, it was a sad and happy feeling, currently I’m in the middle of punk hazard I just want to say this. THANK YOU MUCH
Lol noob
@@retroburst155 thank you so mixh
4kids was in charge of the export that was licensed to other territories, so they made their version blank of most text so they could edit their own text or choose to leave it blank. Most territories imported it from 4kids, rather than Japan, because 4kids is the licensor, so they receive 4kids version. You can tell because the scripts are translations of 4kids texts and contain 4kids edits.
god praise germany for not doing this
Which territories ?
I can tell that in Europe we didn't had the 4kids version but the original, and I'm pretty sure that it was also the case for Asia.
It depends, but Asia and some parts of Europe do get a version derived from the original as well@@RhumFr
@@GokaiPlatinum The only dubs that used the 4kids dub as a basis was the Latin Spanish dub and Brazilian Portuguese dub
One of the reasons I began watching One Piece was that the only thing I knew about it was it was on the same channel as Sonic X at one time and when happened to catch an uncensored episode on Toonami Adult Swim, I really began wondering what changes they could’ve made to the show to make it “for kids”. I’m now caught up on the show and love the fact that there was once this version only. Thanks for making this series!
the other reasons?
@@user-mv8gj4cp8m the one piece the one piece is real meme.
Actually wanted to watch the 4Kids dub myself after seeing your videos. Only knowing the original Japanese and German dub. Sooo, wish me lots of strength!
Also. Thanks for your awesome videos, would be funny to see more videos showing off somewhat random edits and all like that. Heard Pokemon was pretty rough, too.
Let me just say there are many reasons why funimation took one piece from 4kids if you watch you can immediately see why
48:26 "One of the biggest bounties ever" lol
Take a shot everytime he says the phrase "has been censored" :)
Using the youtube auto captions, i have compiled every instance of the phrase "has/have been [adjective] censored" using a regex, and there are 97 total occurences. With a conservative estimate of 30ml per shot, and 40% alcohol content, that would be 12ml of alcohol per shot. That would be 2.9 litres of whatever drink you choose, or about 1 litre of pure alcohol. With an overestimate of 5.5 litres of blood volume (more than the average person), would result in a blood alcohol concentration of 17.4%. That would make you very, very dead.
@@n00bxl71 I appreciate your math and thank you for it, but I must translate it into American so dumbasses like me can understand. SO… 30mL is just over 1 fluid ounce (a "mini" shot or 2/3 of a normal shot). 97 shots would be either 97 ounces OR, for full-shots, 145½ ounces. For reference, a US Gallon is 128 ounces -- just under 4L. In other words, by US reckoning you'd be drinking just over 3/4 of a gallon (as you say, ~3L). Very very dead.
Instructions clear: I am now dead due to alcohol poisoning
“oh look you shapeshifted into a dead guy”
the chakram being too powerful for an amateur hold is so funny
This series was such a fun watch! So interesting seeing all the changes they made
So many of the edits were just pointless. Crazy how 4kids almost totally ruiened one piece. Good job Funimation for saving it.
It was a fun ride watching your 4Kids One Piece videos and then seeing this finalized version of it. I’m happy you referred to it as the 4kids edit and not the 4kids dub. How I see it, dub implies that the only thing they changed was the language it was in. It doesn’t take a major One Piece fan to realize that isn’t the case with 4Kids’ version.
The watching the 4Kids version of One Piece is pretty much the same as listening to the radio edit of your favorite song. You know how everything is supposed to go, but you know it can’t be that way because of standards and practices.
I still don’t understand why the only Filler Arc they completely kept in was the Rukia Island arc. I thought the other filler arcs were taken out because the nature of those arcs added nothing to the plot and were only made so the anime wouldn’t outpace the manga.
Lastly, I like that message you said at the end talking how 4Kids shouldn’t receive all the hate they got for censoring One Piece. We can definitely joke about how it was a bad move on their part, but we definitely should move on from this. I will say that the “What if 4Kids dubbed [anime]” parodies are really hilarious and do show how ridiculous their edits can get.
Maybe not all the hate, but an ounce of forethought would have saved them quite a bit of trouble. so it's maybe partially deserved.
4 Kids on their way to remove 1 single wooden board from the scene at 13:21 of episode 67 for no reason
I am... VERY GLAD i never grew up with the 4Kids version.
As if the voices don't sound weird enough, these edits are so bizarre. I can't imagine watching that version whenever it first came out.
Like, I did grow up with the 4Kids Pokemon, but at least I'm pretty sure that THEY at least didn't water down so many of the fight scenes.
They compleately ruined the Mewtwo movie tho
this just tells me that 4Kids is:
1. scared of reading
2. scared of Jesus
i remember catching bits of this on 4kids way back. glad i never actually started the series until i was an adult. never knew they went to such lengths. it's comical
you gotta wonder how shortening he hilt is censoring it when ALL SWORDS LOOK LIKE CROSSES
I literally found your channel earlier today and just now finished watching all your previous videos. What crazy timing that you upload a new video the same day. 💀
Glad you like my videos! 😆
2:16:07 without much thought, i am pretty sure they wanted to show that Hina cares for her subordinates instead of the original that she looks away for comedy reasons.
I'm surprised you missed it, but "Cook it Up" wasn't originally from the Alabasta dinner scene. It was used in the cooking contest Sanji entered in Loguetown. They just repurposed this song for another scene later.
Hey RantNavv, did you know what’s 4kids planed to called Whitebeard?
They want to called him “Ward Newgate”. Luckily they didn’t made it😅
Why? They seriously thought OP is gonna offend all the Edwards in the world?
@@kaydee66781 Either that or they thought Ward sounded cooler. I assume that's why they renamed Fire Fist Ace "Trace Heat Fist".
I think the part where Sanji being removed as the crew is walking through Alabasta under the sheet is because Sanji walking around to begin with was due to him being an unknown member of the crew, giving him the leeway to not be hidden. But since so much got taken out, Sanji's phone calls, mystery, and the like weren't made clear so they probably felt like there was no justifying having him being the only human member to be walking around in broad daylight.
Thanks for all the hard work! My brother and I have always enjoyed this series and it is cool to see it all in one place now.
Cheers mate, I thought I'd be convenient to have it all in one video plus I wanted to add some extra changes I missed and fix some mistakes!
Or..One Piece
Perfect timing! I was just looking for something to binge.
Always love a binge myself!
The kid-friendly softhearted chronology of the One piece series and sagas in 4kids version: romance Dawn. orange town. Syrup village. Baratie. Arlong park. Lounge Town. Warship Island. Reverse mountain. Whisky peak. Little garden. Drum Island. Alabasta. Post-alabasta. Goat Island. And rainbow mist
The most shocking thing to me is that at 12:21 they seemingly left in two buggy pirates playing five-finger-fillet/ the knife game. 4kids was wild
I remember binging all of these videos a while ago whilst doing some work still really interesting
It's all here in one video! Gonna be a lot easier to binge now
Call me crazy, but Mihawk's sword with a smaller guard looks kinda dope.
You are crazy
@@dimitrijekulak4874 fair.
No I actually kinda like it
I feel bad for any of those kids (like me) back then who had to fix the mandela effects of 4kids censorship
Though in hindsight, it was pretty funny looking at it many years later
I don’t remember anything from this show, but I can see why I never really got into it, and why I never got the urge to re-watch it in adulthood
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO
Those weird little interludes they do during Drum Island and Alabasta are weirdly useful and informative when separated from the episodes.
"luffy showing his arse" udk why that was so funny 😭
youre right; if it wasnt because of 4kids we wouldnt have even known about the existence of one piece...
I hate being drunk but 4kids one piece makes me wish i could get drunk and watch it for the laughs
Ngl, dubbing One Piece to be less violent and more toddler friendly sounds like something you have to do after losing a serious bet you can’t weasel out of or take alternative punishment for bc. Holy shit. That’s a true torture from Hell itself.
Zoro clucking like a chicken got me 💀
20:45 It looks like they needed to paint out the japanese characters to replace the title, they probably didn't have access to a clean version. So they had to completely replace the water animation that was sitting beneath it, or they would've had to paint it frame by frame (which would've been worse/more work).
the boogie woogie part is peak dubbing
Man. Shame that 4Kids didn't continue. I wonder how emotional Brook's promise towards the iceberg would've been!
Finally, a breakdown involving a piece of content that will not spoil anything to me.
EDIT: Theory shot down after a bitr in.
I noticed a few title screens where water is edited. I'm guessing due to them having to place the episode title there. Trying to clean it up may have been more trouble than just redoing it perhaps?
the facts they made shanks Australian is so funny to me
this is what youtube is good at.
anyone can make any topic and with effort and genuinity, it can be entretaining.
2 hours, let-s go!
Thank you for doing this
i'm happy i didn't have the 4kids version 18 years ago when i saw the show for the first time (original OP/ED and no censorship)
Changing bazooka to double barrel is so weird. It adds a gun reference more or less, since bazooka/RPG has long since been considered kid safe. (probably because one isn't going to be lying around the house) Also, Bazooka Joe.
Exactly what I was thinking. The same weirdness as changing Beast Tamer to Beast Breaker lol.
holy crap lmao, 10/10 bruh crazy amount of work
Some of them make sense but most of them feel like they had a certain amount of work to do so they just chose like 100 different scenes and started editing
You're doing Nika's work. Thank you for this!
Having grown up with the 4kids dub I oddly still cherish it. I naturally grew up to watch the current dub and sub, which made me a fan that I am now.
Removing the top from the "cross-like structure" to refrain any references to religion they actually brought out a more accurate cruxifiction tool.
16:36 I think they meant gambling as in betting, as said in the sentence after he asks about gambling. “How much are you willing to bet we’re bluffing? Would you stake your life on it?” He was asking if he was the type to bet his life on something he really believed.
I’m still confused on why they added that dialogue though.
The fact they gave Mihawk a Spanish accent really tickles me for some reason
Thank you so much for the soiler warning
My cousin was trying to get me to watch one piece for over a decade. The only reason I didn’t is because I remembered the 4kids version when I was a kid and thought it was a continuation after all these years 😂😂😂😂😂
So much time wasted!!! I started in August and I’m up to Dresrosa. This shit actually might be the GOAT after all
As someone who started anime with Naruto when I was a preteen and then Bleach (then of course way more as a teenager and then adult), I never got into OP but I was vaguely aware of the whole 4Kids ridiculousness then Funimation takeover. I had a decent knowledge of the series and characters because it’s kind of impossible to be an anime fan since the early 2000s and NOT know anything about OP lol, but the number of episodes was always something that I just didn’t have time to get into, especially as I grew up - college, grad school, job, etc.
Anyway, then I watched the live action and fell in love lol. Kicking myself for not watching sooner, but so glad I found this show. Thanks for creating this video!!! I have it on in the background while doing some embroidery.
Imo someone should make a series or something where they go over everything else starting with Jaya, and imagine how 4Kids would have changed it.
I can already picture Punk Hazard doing something like this:
"Aight, let's remove all scenes with this dismembered guy, let's then pretend that he was just under the snow and was digged out of it all in one piece!"
Or something like that, I dunno.
Funimation took over from 4Kids and produced a censored dub of Skypiea before going fully uncensored. I'm actually going to be releasing a video going over all the changes for that arc too, hoping the first of the series will be out late Jan, early Feb.
@@RantNavvTalksAnime Yeah, but I mean, imagine certain arcs with the weird censorships applied, and the story changes that they would be forced to do due to some of the previous changes causing plotholes. That would be a fun thing to think about.
Sky Island probably wouldn't exist due to the angels and gods references. 🥲
around 2:21:38 we see a man on the far right sticking his tongue out in the panning shot. this was censored, by not having mouth movements. 4kids was big on "show don't copy" so perhaps they thought someone talking with their tongue out could get themself hurt.
not sure if this was in the original video that spanned the particular episode but I noticed it along the way.
1:41:36 I always took the hand in that scene as Sanji holding the snail rather than Chopper
I still need to know why did they cut so much content? They didn't pay the voice actors enough or...?
well its mostly censorship because 4kids focused one piece on being a kids show when it really isn't: you can also tell by the censoring of blood and wounds or anything explicit had been changed "for kids" to watch
any bad behavior is also removed to avoid any influence
@@mi-ql3ipit’s not even that. I’ve never watched the 4kids version but just from this video alone I can tell they tried making this a crazy generic kids show, with the voices, soundtrack, etc. it’s all made to the most generic 2000’s kids show ever. It’s embarrassing
52 (cut down from 84) episodes of 4Piece were released on DVD between 2005 and 2007. I was surprised to learn that the Alabasta episodes (eps 53-104) aren't lost media and I managed to find them. You're doing God/Satan's work!
Due to 4Kids's butchering, I refused to even touch One Piece until Funimation rescued it and began releasing the uncut DVD's, which I stopped after Enies Lobby in favor of only collecting the manga (still irked about Zoro's name-change tho').

I was talking about this too my best friend because he has a massive One Piece hyperfixation.
I was reading off some of the One Piece wiki's page of the 4Kids changes. When it got to the Laboon arc things, I said:
"Okay, when it was revealed [in the Pokemon anime] that Ash suddenly had, like, 50 Tauros, my friends and I wondered if we missed a Saturday or if Kids WB accidentally skipped an episode by accident. We didn't know that they just never aired the Safari Zone episode in America due to gun reasons and Bulbapedia and Serebii didn't exist yet. It was definitely the talk of the school bus. As I'm reading this, this is the Tauros situation BUT WORSE!! Imagine if they made it past Alabasta, how many "Ash has 50 Tauros" situations would One Piece have?"
You basically answered my question! So many "Ash has 50 Tauros" situations.
They made it a weird hammer gun thing than a small Water gun.
Also water guns seem far more effective since Devil Fruit users are weak to sea water. But they are still guns since its 4kids so yeah.
My god Sanji, Shanks and Mihawk's voices-
French Mihawk makes me violently angry
I didn't remember that from when I was a kid and it killed me watching this.
4 kids is a dumb concept imo. Either let the kids watch the original content or make them wait til they are older.
One word; MONEY
I specifically remember when the change to the Funi dub was happening, I didn't recognize it was happening and I couldn't believe I heard Nami say "crap" for the first time. I was so confused
All changes RantNavv made to all changes 4kids made to One Piece
Couldn't contain my laughter at Texan Robin
Does someone have an idea why they removed all texts from t-shirts and such? I really don't understand it.
Possibly so they didnt have to translate on-screen text to the languages of all the countries their localizations were distributed to
@RantNavvTalksAnime 5:18 Actually it’s not completely removed from the 4Kids version, it’s seen in the opening rap.
