I (actually) abridged another BANNED Pokemon Episode to about a minute! (EP 35)

  • S1E35 - "The Legend of Dratini (Miniryu)"
    The episode were a park ranger aims a gun at Ash's face and opens fire on Team Rocket!
    Here we are at the Safari Zone - for real this time - for the banned episode most people think of when they say "banned Pokemon episode."
    As a reminder, unlike the previous banned episode, The Legend of Dratini is NOT counted in North America's official episode numbering. As the "(actually) abridged" series uses the Bulbapedia numbering, all of our episodes from now on will be 1 behind the NA numbers, and 2 behind Netflix's episode numbers.

    Some of you may be wondering why I chose to re-sub footage that already had subtitles in it.
    The main reason is that as part of the abridging process, I often have to cut apart conversations and move footage around. This means that a lot of the time the text on-screen did not match what was being said.
    So in the end, I made the decision to re-do all of the subtitles from scratch.

    An entire pack of Tauros with a single Safari Ball, right? Wild

    • @SpeedBoostTorchic
      @SpeedBoostTorchic  3 года назад +27

      In all seriousness, the unabridged episode actually only shows Ash catching two Tauros on-screen -- one on purpose (shown, briefly @ 0:54) and one by accident (It dives in front of a ball he'd thrown at a Rhyhorn).
      So even in the original episode, the Tauros reveal at the end was a surprise, foreshadowed only by the part where he tells Jessie he'd "used all the safari balls." (1:09)

    Pretty bold of Ash to dive in to fetch a bomb and toss it back just in the nick of time. Most kids that age had enough trouble with the dam level in NES TMNT. Then again, this is the kid who thought punching the Ultimate Life Form was a good idea.

    • @SpeedBoostTorchic
      @SpeedBoostTorchic  3 года назад +13

      In this original episode this is the biggest example of plot-armor I've ever seen.
      Initially, it's Kaiser that jumps in after the bomb, then Ash jumps in - saves Kaiser, and sends Kaiser back up without surfacing himself. Spends 4 minutes looking for the bomb before he runs out of air. Falls unconscious for a minute and half - and finally is revived and rescued by Dragonair.
      The entire sequence takes almost 7 minutes, and the bomb never explodes.

      The majority of people like that are criminals in cities. My brother once was almost shot while he was ordering McDonalds because he accidentally cut in front of some person standing so far out of line; he told him, "'m pop a cap in your ass outside, cracka'." I think it was a little funny, because my brother had no idea what he had just said and, in kind, told the man his breath smelled bad. Criminals are all around the world, though. For the most part, Americans who own guns keep them locked away. This scene in Pokemon is not at all like America, and is in fact very scary and offensive. I'm glad it was banned here. It would do nothing well in teaching children appropriate gun safety; not to mention it's entirely illegal to threaten someone like that so frivolously.
