|
En route to Mount Frypan, Yamcha and Puer attempt to raid the Dragon Team's winnebago. In the process, they learn of the Dragon Balls, and Yamcha plots to steal them to wish away his fear of women. Crazy antics ensue, but in the end, no Dragon Balls are stolen!

The shower episode! All they really did was slightly tone down the notion that Blooma's nudity, though it's still obviously there, because she was showering, after all. Not too bad, really. The manga was actually more graphic than the anime, anyway.
|
| Dialogue |
|
The idea of Blooma looking for a peephole in the shower is written out.
|
| Cut |
|
(11 seconds) Just after Gokuu pulls out his Dragon Ball, some footage of Blooma showering is cut.
|
| Cut |
|
(9 seconds) After Blooma drops the shampoo bottle, a clip of her picking it up, and the camera scrolling from her feet to her head, is cut.

Blooma is painted out of the shot of Yamcha looking through the window. Yes, an entire person!

Another confusing one... After the shot of Yamcha looking through the window, a 2 second shot of Yamcha freaking out, followed by a 3 second shot of Blooma from Yamcha's perspective, are cut. Though, they're replaced with a 2 second silhouette shot of Blooma through the shower curtain, a 2 second shot of the water hitting Blooma's face (both of which were from the 11 second cut earlier), and then the 2 second shot of Yamcha freaking out.

When Blooma looks out the window to see what the noise was, window streaks are conveniently painted in to hide her breasts.

| Dialogue |
|
Gokuu's asking Oolong why he likes girls, they don't even have any balls, is written out.
|
| Cut |
|
(4 seconds) After Oolong starts creeping towards the sleeping Blooma, a clip of him pulling her covers down and preparing to get dirty is cut.
|
| Alteration |
|
When Oolong looks downstairs after Puer transforms, the blanket is painted more over Blooma. Originally, Oolong has it pulled about down to her waist. Although, just before Oolong transforms, the dub leaves Oolong's pulling the blanket back over her intact. Inconsistency!
|
| Cut |
|
(2 seconds) After "Gokuu" and "Blooma" head downstairs, a clip of the real Blooma turning over, so that it's obvious her boobs are now facing up through the blanket, is cut.
|
| Cut |
|
(7 seconds) After Yamcha looks down at the lumpy blanket, a clip of him reaching down, and thinking the Dragon Balls feel awfully soft (^_^;;), is cut.
|
| Cut |
|
(1 second) Just before Yamcha screams, a shot of the exposed Blooma is cut.

|
Yamcha's screaming "GYOEEEEE!!" is painted out to say "Ahhhhh!!"
