Buruma no Daishippai
Blooma's Big Mistake
USA 03/06/2002 Bulma's Bad Day


The third Dragon Ball is located near the ocean, and General Blue's company also happens to be searching for it there. Blooma has a run in with Red Ribbon soldiers while Gokuu attempts to swim for it, though he returns in time to save her. The ball was far too deep to swim for, and so without capsules, Gokuu suggests they visit Kamesennin for help.

Thoughts
The naked diving episode. This sure was a tricky one to track. And we also got our first glimpses of how the dub would be handling Blue. His voice was well done, and still had hints of... well, you know, but it was definitely toned down.
Names/Terms
General Blue retains his name.

Cut
(5 seconds) After the gross guy who picked his nose is taken away, a clip of the sound of a gunshot (him obviously being executed), and Blue reveling in it, is cut.
Cut
(2 seconds) Just before Gokuu catches the magazine to read, more footage of the magazines falling down is cut.
Alteration
The text on the cover of the magazine Gokuu reads is painted in.
Cut
(3 seconds) Just before Gokuu zooms off towards the ocean, footage of naked Gokuu hopping onto Kintoun is cut.
Cut
(1 second) After Gokuu decides he's at the spot, a clip of naked Gokuu diving off of Kintoun is cut.
Cut
(8 seconds) After Gokuu starts swimming straight down, a clip of him swimming is cut. I guess because the camera was angled behind Gokuu, and you get a close-up of his ass.
Cut
(5 seconds) Just before Gokuu heads back towards the surface, a clip of him flipping over to swim upwards is cut.
Alteration
The clip of red-in-the-face Gokuu starting to swim back upwards is doubled in the dub. It was only about 4.5 seconds long in the original, but it's repeated in the dub to last about 9 seconds.
Alteration
A splash of water is painted over Gokuu's weewee when he's jumping out of the water.
Alteration
The shot of Gokuu in the air catching his breath is zoomed in to cut his weewee out.
Cut
(11 seconds) After Gokuu catches his breath in the air, a clip of Gokuu zooming back towards the island is cut.
Dialogue
Blooma's mentioning her age to the two Red Ribbon guys is written out, as is her asking if Famicom is the kind of fun they have in mind.
