I'm 100% here for the thirst trap thumbnail, I'm not gonna lie.

in Mexico in the 90's we got it uncut even Dragon Ball we got Bulma's shower scene hahahahaha at 2pm after school

Blue Mr. Popo actually hurt my eyes to look at.

My absolute favorite line from the original American dub was Tien saying "I can see their parachutes!  They're okay" after Nappa blew up a news helicopter.  To this day I still quote it and find it hilarious.

I'm drinking orange juice. Now it's apple jucie. Now it's beer! Yay Beer!

I remember Nappa's destruction of that city was reframed several times.  Crashing through the buildings, they say it was Sunday so they were empty.  All the people around ran away before Nappa leveled the area.  Then later reporters claimed it was a warehouse district that was destroyed.  And during the Saiyan fight, one reporter ship that looked like a shuttlecraft from Star Trek TNG was blown up and they said it was a supply robot.  Then when Nappa blew up a news helicopter we had Tien, "I can see their parachutes, they're fine."  I sometimes say that to my friend when we watch a show or movie and see a car crushed. It still makes him laugh.

I remember when Napa punched Tien forearm off and he told Napa, "just wait until that grows back"

I love the next dimension translation like, its so dumb.

As if kids doesnt know what hell means. 😂

In Canada we saw the wounds. But being sent to another dimension was used here too.

The funniest part is I know most of this because of Team Four Star and that my uncle had all the original Japanese video tapes and dvds with English subtitles. Also had the uncensored DBZ on Toonami when I was a kid, then my sisters forced everyone to watch Sailor Moon.

I actually thought it was a missed opportunity when the Nicktoons airing of kai decided to censor the beer can Goku was holding. After a workout, Goku goes to the fridge to get a drink, he originally pulls out a can labeled "beer" and turns down the drink in favor of something else. Nicktoons however had the beer can be a can lacking any label, making it seem like a random drink to turn down. You'd think Nicktoons would be happy to have a scene where Goku is basically telling the audience that beer is bad!

Chi Chi looks beautiful with her hair down. Why did she have to start dressing like an Old Lady? :eyes-purple-crying:

I remember one scene when fighting Vegeta on earth, after Gohan became normal after becoming an oozaru he lands on Vegeta he is naked in the uncut version, but in the edited version they made it look like Vegeta’s pants ripped and covering Gohan’s naked body.

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, I spent whole summers mowing lawns to buy uncut vhs tapes of DBZ.

Funimation even gave those figures with the playing cards if you spent enough. Spend $100 and you got the whole set. I had at least 3 sets.

I remember as a teen in the late 90s, was in colombia when i was first introduced to Dragon Ball Z.

It was the wild west of uncensorship and was AWESOME.

Then when it finally came to the US, it was frustrated how much censorship was placed...

Its like how in yugioh all the guards on duelist kingdom would point very menacingly at the heroes while they ran away. When in fact the orignal version had them holding guns

I do know the censored Maron in the version we got. She wasn't in a yellow one piece bathing suit in the original version.

I loved the DBZ and showed the series to my 7 year old son but it wasn’t the way I remembered it. I found a less edited version on YTube for the Buu arc, and my son was shocked and loved how brutal it was. I think kids can handle it under the right setting with the right people.

Toonami had “DBZ Uncut” where all the edits were kept. One thing I noticed was all the middle fingers!

There is one thing i hate more than censorship, and its baiting.
