砂漠のヤムチャ
Tsuyokute Warui Sabaku no Yamucha
Strong and Bad: Yamcha of the Desert |
| USA | 08/24/2001 | Yamcha the Desert Bandit |
|
Oolong has now joined up with Blooma and Gokuu, and Blooma keeps him under control by feeding him special PP candy... The gang treads through a desert, which happens to be the territory of two capsule thieves: Yamcha, and his cat, Puer. Yamcha defeats Gokuu, but luckily, Yamcha is afraid of women, and Blooma scares him off.

The swimming scene was HELL. I wouldn't do it again even if you gave me a fish full of dollars. ...Speaking of which, that was really bad. Surely they could've come up with something else, like, say, FOOD. Otherwise, this episode was okay.
|
| Names/Terms |
Yamcha's name is retained.
Puer is called "Puar", and pronounced "pwar". That's not too bad, though it has little to do with the tea.
Gyuumaou is called "Ox King", which is a two-thirds translation (demon is omitted).
Mount Frypan is changed to "Fire Mountain".

| Cut |
|
(7 seconds) This happens after Blooma tells Oolong why he's coming along, and why he should stay. Gokuu pat-pats Oolong, and Oolong gets pissed off and asks why. Oolong gets angry with Gokuu for a different reason in the dub.

| Other |
|
Where once there was silence, full narration takes place during the Gyuumaou explanation scene.

Okay, this is confusing... After the fish Oolong realizes Gokuu's following him, a one second clip of Gokuu swimming down towards Oolong is cut. After Oolong goes to hide, that snipped clip of Gokuu swimming down is then slowed down a bit and added back in, replacing a five second clip of Gokuu searching through the seaweed, and the camera panning down to Oolong hiding down there. After the shot of Oolong hiding and Gokuu swimming back up, the dub interrupts Gokuu's swimming back up by throwing in the shot of Oolong hiding again. In total, about four seconds are lost, and if you listen carefully, you can hear that the music stops abruptly in the dub.

Blooma using her panties as bait is painted out and replaced with a wad of American dollars... ("Hey, whaddaya know, a fish full of panties!")
|
| Alteration |
|
All shots of Gokuu during the fishing scene on the boat have [crappy] underwear painted in.
|
| Cut |
|
(15 seconds) After Gokuu ties up the boat and runs over to the edge of the water, a clip of Gokuu dropping his pants and pissing in the river, while Oolong asks Blooma for her panties, is cut.

|
Blooma's chanting "Pee-Pee Pee-Pee" to make Oolong take a crap is changed to "Piggy Piggy Piggy". Why...?
|
| Cut |
|
(33 seconds) This cut happens just before the commercial break. Oolong turns into a pair of panties for Blooma to wear, since her current pair had gotten wet earlier, and she slaps the Oolong panties to the ground.

Puer talking about Oolong stealing the teacher's panties is written out.
