    One hilarious censorship story I heard is according to Alex Hirsh(the creator of gravity falls) in the Pool episode there’s a scene where Stan was trying to shin sunlight into Gideon’s eyes to get him out of a pool chair(Naturally this backfires on him). The original line was “Yes blind the child” but the S.A.P. weren’t ok with that and in the episode it was changed to “Yes burn the child” which Alex Hirsh himself thinks that’s arguably worse than the original line and I kinda agree.

      Also the TV broadcast version of Metalocalypse that similar to that episode has guitar pinch harmonics for their censor bleep. Hell there are some parts that are better censored than without, like one joke in the Christmas special (for further context Seasons 3 and 4 aren’t censored in DVD or HBO Max) where a character says a string of curse words to make fun of another’s constant swearing that’s ruined a little bit by the fact that when you hear it uncensored is not much ,but when you have the censor riffs is a nice succession of notes
      Actually it kind of demonstrates the point on how weird the double standards are because it’s pretty well known for being one of the most violent shows [adult swim] has made. Like it kind of borders on Doom 2016 and Hellsing Ultimate levels of violence that’s over the top but with realistic gore, but the F word was too much go figure

      @succubastard1019 Год назад +36

      Well, I think you may have just solved your own dilemma: in America guns tend to be way more accessible than in other countries, to the point where families can just casually own them, but this has the risk of kids getting them and confusing them for toys, or straight up playing around with them, if parents aren't careful.
      Kids also tend to play by imitating characters in the media they consume, thus if kids watch a cartoon where people use actual guns, some adults become afraid that their kids might go "that guy with a gun is cool" and try to use actual guns to imitate them.

    Doraemon's an interesting case, the censorship was requested by TV Asahi, the original broadcaster, not Disney XD. There was also a separate dub produced for the UK by the European licence holder, who made their own because they thought the US dub changed too much. The UK dub changed nothing, except for the names. All Japanese text was left in, as well as culture and an accurately translated theme song.
    What's funny is that all of the actors for the US dub just assumed that the dub for the UK would simply be theirs, so they were surprised when a cast of Animax voice actors showed up, all uncredited.

    I remember in my country (Colombia) there was a really, really inconsistent policy regarding the word "Kill" when it came to the spanish translation. Sometimes in shows like Gravity falls, in the spanish dub, they felt the need to replace the word "kill" or any other word related to it with "eliminate" or "destroy", which made it sound so awkward, especially since there was a lot of other shows, even some shows that had a lower age rating, like Spongebob, Fairly odd parents and Avatar Last Airbender that had no problem using the word "kill" in the spanish translation

    What makes One Piece the undeniable WORST recipient when it came to 4Kids' censorship is that they didn't just censor blood, violence, dialogue etc. but they even cut out ENTIRE STORY ARCS. Arcs that come up later in the story in big ways too, meaning that if their dub had continued they would've had huge plot holes when characters and events from those arcs were referenced.

    • @SaiyanGamer95
      @SaiyanGamer95 Год назад +9

      Actually, that's not entirely 4Kids' fault. Toei forced them to take One Piece, as they only wanted Ultimate Muscle and Magical Do-Re-Mi. Basically, Toei said "Take One Piece too, or you don't get anything". 4Kids found it too violent and didn't want it, but did want the others. When the liscense expired, they were more than happy to drop the anime. Toei also forced them to skip several arcs so Chopper could be introduced to Western audiences. Actually, Toei forced One Piece on 4Kids because it was so popular in Japan and wanted it out in America as soon as possible for added profits. When Toei released the episode that introduced Chopper, the episode because incredibly popular. And since 4Kids was behind by a large amount, they made 4Kids skip all those arcs.
      Something similar happened with Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. They were going to dub the fourth and final season, but 5Ds came out in Japan (and was very popular), so Konami and TV Tokyo forced them to stop working on GX and instead work on 5Ds. 4Kids wasn't really happy about that.

In the original the story the dudes dad was an alcoholic and it actually affected him but for as one reason they have the alcoholics kid play it straight but no one else does so you have this kid struggling with an alcoholic father but everyone is making jokes about how wierd it is he likes hot sauce so much

    So, something bizarre was actually 4kids dub of Kinnikuman Nisei, AKA Ultimate Muscle. I actually researched the entire japanese version and despite the fact that there was nearly no blood, next to nothing was censored out beyond the words "death, dying" or "kill". They could still SHOW characters being horribly maimed since there was no blood (including a character getting his skull crushed).
    But the reason I bring this up is because they made the dialogue downright raunchy at times in the dub. The most notable moment is in the fight between Kid Muscle and Hydrozoa. Hydrozoa's signature attack has him using his jelly body to trap his opponents inside of him, start to drown them, then smash their head on the ring post, an attack which he did to Wally Tusket, a walrus man (this is important later). Kid Muscle snuck an octopus into his pocket which he coaxed to spray ink while he was inside of Hydrozoa, and it resulted in showing all of hydrozoa's organs, which he could freely move around. Again, no blood but full internal anatomy display is okay. However here is where the lines differ.
    In the Japanese version, One character asks why it's a big deal that his internal organs are invisible. Terry replies "If they were visible then his opponents could deliver a lethal/disabling strike directly to them."
    in the 4kids dub, however, Terry says "Well yeah they are invisible. Would YOU want a 400lbs walrus delivering a right hook to YOUR prostate?"

      Fun Fact: When working on the dub for Ultimate Muscle, Eric Staurt and one other guy (I forget who) were trying to come up with a name for Gazelleman (copyright issues). They learned about the Dik-Dik (basically a miniature gazelle) and were going to go with that, but the other guy wanted them to add "van Dik" to the name. So we got Dik-Dik van Dik.
      Also, Hollywood Bowl. His whole thing about trying to kill Kid and "eat" his body (flush him down his toilet bowl) horrified me when I was a kid. The burp he gave in that fantasy "What-If" thing after eating Kid didn't help.

    you know, this reminded me of the Gundam censorship in the USA. After the barely-censored Wing decided to give the Deathscythe an upgrade that was quite literally called "Deathscythe Hell", G Gundam's localization had to suffer. The God Gundam became the Burning Gundam (which does tie better to its predecessor, the Shining Gundam), the Devil Gundam became the Dark Gundam, and the Death Army became the Dark Army.
    Of note, a few minor changes also include less stereotypical names for a few of the more...Punch Out-y Gundams...but the biggest crime of this was that _they took Tequila Gundam from us_

    Good that you mention Sonic X, as I grew up with the 4kids dub of that show. Think my favorite (aka most hated) change they made to that show was the relationship between Tails and Cosmo. The original version of the show makes it very obvious that they have feelings for each other, and the final episode has them outright express their love for each other. The dub, for some baffling reason, completely removes that (or at least makes it far less obvious). It's like 4kids thought kids couldn't handle the concept of two characters being in love with each other (which is especially messed up considering the context of said final episode)
    If not for the fact that there was an episode entirely dedicated to developing said relationship - Mission: Match-Up - I don't doubt that they would've scrubbed any mention of it entirely.

There have even been some instances, where people have been sent and trapped there, like Yugi's grandfather when he was sealed inside the card by Pegasus.

    In the Indian dub of Shin-chan, they had an episode where the Nohara family goes to a burger place changed to a "donut' shop.
    Yokai Watch has the most wildly inconsistent editing I've ever seen. There is an episode where Nate has a sleepover with his friends and turns on a channel that shows girls in bikinis with cat ears, which was censored in the dub to have them clothed, yet in the Komasan Taxi segment with Manjimutt, a poster with a similar bikini model with cat ears wasn't edited out.
    One of the most baffling things of all is the episode with Robonyan "getting his screw inspected" they cut the scene in the Japanese version where Robonyan gets penetrated by the blade, and replace the line he says with "it tickles".
    However, in the Komasan Taxi segment that comes after it, the scene was shown completely uncut, and the dialogue that he says in the English version somehow manages to imply even heavier that he may be gay than the Japanese version, like he straight up says something like "Sometimes a young robot goes through a cycle where he desires to push past the limits of his circuits" or something like that.
