Dragon Ball 43-44 - New Arc!

marvelous reaction tkohhh

I know that older dubs would give characters accents to match the character's way of speaking in Japanese. So if a character had a refined way of speaking, they'd give him a British accent. And if they had a rougher way of speaking, they'd give him a Brooklyn accent or something of the sort. Although I'm not too sure about Dragon Ball's case. In fact, Goku in Japanese has a country accent, and the VA, Masako Nozawa, added her own spin to it. Some one-liners that never made it to the dub are: I'm getting really excited. Fun fact. In Japan, when Goku and Piccolo fight Raditz, Goku declares for the first time that he's not excited for this fight. Which was apparently an iconic scene for the Japanese audience. And Osu ora Son Goku. (Osu is a martial arts greeting. Ora is a country way of saying "I am.") But it gets translated as Hey, it's me, Goku.

The jokes get better, Taylor (Sorry, Karli). I love watching this series with ya'll. I last watched it all when it first aired on Toonami. Also, even when it was airing on Cartoon Network, it censored SO much stuff. No Bulma butt, no Goku peen, no actual bloody noses, and slightly altered aspects for all scenes that feature those in order to remove it completely.

43 made for a pretty good filler episode. I'm glad the Flying Nimbus didn't get destroyed from being blown up, and watching Goku's antics as he explored the big city was a lot of fun.
