Also, the famous "No Balls!" scene was deleted from episode 2, and when Bulma puts panties on the fishing hook to get Oolong (in fish form), they digitally painted away the panties and replaced it with some money. Also, references to alcohol and drugs were removed, for example, when Jackie Chun uses Drunken Fist in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament, Funimation called it the "Mad Cow Attack" (coincidentally, there was a real life Mad Cow epidemic shortly after the episode aired).

Sometimes, some scenes were deleted altogether, either to save time or cut out strong violence.įor example, when Goku dives into the water naked to kick a fish he catches for dinner, a digital water splash was added on his groin on other occasions when he is naked, he has some digital underwear added. Most of the edits were digital cosmetic changes, which were done to remove nudity and blood, and dialogue edits. version of Dragon Ball that was aired on Cartoon Network (before that, it was aired in syndication and on NBC in select cities) had many edits done to it. Some insert (IN) songs were taken out or have talking over them. Unlike the theme songs for Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT, Funimation made English versions of the original Japanese opening (OP) and ending (ED) themes for these episodes and left in the original background music (which they would later also do with their dubs of Dragon Ball Z Kai and Dragon Ball Super).

These original 13 dubbed episodes were later released to home video by KidMark as "Dragon Ball: The Saga of Goku." This release was a joint-production between Funimation, Seagull Entertainment, and BLT Productions, with a dubbing voice cast similar to Funimation's initial dub of Dragon Ball Z. The second and more well-known attempt was in 1995 with only the first 13 episodes dubbed and aired in first-run syndication. It was test-marketed in several cities, but was never broadcast to the general public and has since been referred to as " The Lost Dub" by fans. It featured strange name changes for nearly all the characters, such as changing Goku to "Zero" and Korin to "Whiskers the Wonder Cat". The first attempt was in 1989 from Harmony Gold USA (the company that previously dubbed Robotech). Two initial attempts at releasing Dragon Ball to American audiences failed.
