This episode was very light on the edits! But Metallic's name change is ridiculously dumb, and Murasaki's fake Japanese accent is not so great. At first it seemed nice, like Samurai Jack's (a character who is actually supposed to be from Japan), but then it just got bad. AONO Takeshi's Murasaki was amazing, in comparison. I won't complain about Metallic's voice, because he was a total Terminator ripoff anyway.

Sergeant Metallic is changed to "Major Metallitron". Metallitron is just...dumb. But he's had a huge upgrade in rank! A sergeant is only an E-5, but a major is an O-4. He now outranks Murasaki, by far.
Master Sergeant Murasaki keeps his name, where most people change it to "Purple". FUNimation's official name for him is "Ninja Murasaki", but I swear they had called him a Sergeant Major at one point. "Souchou" most closely corresponds to Master Sergeant and First Sergeant, both of which are E-8. Sergeant Major is E-9, and doesn't really have a Japanese equivalent.

The blood trickling from Gokuu's cheek from the punch through the wall is painted out a bit.
