One Piece English Opening - Page 2 - VGF

Super Shy Guy · 09-18-2004, 10:34 AM

One Piece is just as violent and bloody as Naruto.

How would you know if they ruined it, l007? You haven't seen the original.

They didn't use the english "We Are!" for the opening, they used a hilariously ****ty hip-hop song. The funniest lines were like "ZOLO'S ALL LIKE A SAMURAI" and "YO-HO-HO HE TOOK A BITE OF GUM GUM." Hahaha. I laughed my ass off.

Overall, it was a lot better than I expected, but this is definitely the most tame episode of One Piece. The voices were pretty good, and there were some retarded edits, but overall, it was decent. The original is still 100x better anyway.

Oh yeah, and they changed Zoro's name to "Zolo," probably to avoid legal trouble with whoever made Zorro.

Jimmy Neel · 09-18-2004, 12:37 PM

Well, the original author of "The Mark of Zorro" a.k.a. "The Curse of Capistrano," Johnston McCulley, has been dead for more than fifty years if I remember correctly. Universal now owns the Zorro trademark, but no, they didn't create Zorro.

The opening was terrible. The show in itself seems alright, though I must admit I didn't want Nami to get stuck with an overly cute sounding voice actor. I'll just have to wait and see what happens during the fight with the Black Cats before I can say whether it is any good or not.

Besides, 4Kids is releasing uncut and unedited episodes of Shaman King and Yu-Gi-Oh on DVD. I'm sure OnePiece will follow suit.

Deviot · 09-18-2004, 01:12 PM

Actually, the name Zoro was changed to Zolo because of english translation. For example, Dr. Light was called Dr. Right on the original "Captain N: The Game Master". I thought the theme song was quite original, but Luffy's voice was just...BAD. Sorry, that voice don't cut it for such a cool character. I liked the previews and all, though. I can't remember his name, but he did a ground whirlwind kick using a stretching ability much like Luffy. I wonder if that guy is good in the show??

Super Shy Guy · 09-18-2004, 06:26 PM

As long as someone owns the copyright to Zorro, there probably would have been some stink over copyright. And no, his name was not changed because of the translations. Luffy's name was "LUFFY" in the original (yes, with an L sound), and Arlong was "ARLONG" (with an L as well), etc. But I doubt they'll get to Arlong without cutting half of the arc he's in, it's definitely the most bloody and violent at the first part of the series.

He doesn't stretch. His name is Sanji, and he's the ship's cook, who uses a style of fighting using only his legs. He's pretty cool, but I bet he'll get butchered in the dub as well(he already has; the cigarette he always has in his mouth has been replaced by a candy cane.

I doubt this series will be able to go very far under 4Kids' wings. I very much doubt they'll get to Loguetown, which would eliminate their worries about editting Smoker, who has 2 cigars in his mouth at all times, an ammo belt filled with cigars around his chest, and the power to turn into smoke.

Like I said, the episode they showed now is the most tame, and they didn't even show punches and stuff actually connecting. It seems PG-rated now, but the original did too, until Buggy started blowing up whole towns and stabbing people.

Actually, the uncut versions are being released by Funimation, not 4Kids, and if the uncut DVDs don't sell well, you can kiss the chances of an uncut One Piece DVD goodby.

Super Shy Guy · 09-25-2004, 10:19 AM

Okay, just saw ep two.

Morgan and "Zolo" have really good dub voices. Helmeppo (Morgan's son) had an annoying voice, but it's suited to his personality.

They changed the little girl's riceballs into cookies. At least in Pokemon they kept the japanese food..

And did they change the Marines' rifles into super soakers?! Not even gonna talk about that.

They're constantly putting in cliche sailor talk, and it's starting to annoy me. Zoro said "bilge rat" at least 5 times, and also dumb crap like "YOU LITTLE MINNOWS BETTER GET OUT BEFORE YOU GET EATEN BY SHARKS" or "LOOK WHAT THE TIDE WASHED IN." He told Morgan to "cut off the head-shaped barnacle on the top of his neck" and Morgan says that he'll "fill him with holes like a fishing net." It's beginning to piss me off, but meh.

Erdawn Il Deus · 09-25-2004, 04:00 PM

...

Holy... crap. Super soakers? A candy cane? Ar ethey on drugs??? How can the creator even let that **** happen?

Super Shy Guy · 09-25-2004, 06:23 PM

Supposedly 4Kids is closely working with Toei on the series, so they must've had some form of okays.

Anyway, I made the ep sound a lot worse than it was. I thought this ep was handled much better than last week's. They just need to tone down the "sailor talk" bull****.

But I am worried about how they'll handle Captain Buggy...

Deviot · 09-25-2004, 10:25 PM

Well, Buggy will probably be good no matter what. He's both hilarious and serious at the same time, being a Clown Pirate, after all.

I liked the episode, thought it was pretty good. Zolo's pretty funny too. I can't wait for the next part...

Super Shy Guy · 09-26-2004, 12:15 PM

I'm afraid they'll give him an incredibly retarded voice. And the Buggy arc is where the series starts to get gory...

Virtual Cat · 09-28-2004, 03:08 PM

I'd like to see how they handle Zoro getting stabbed. They'll probably say that Zoro got punched really, really hard.

Super Shy Guy · 09-28-2004, 04:28 PM

Screw Buggy stabbing Zoro, I wanna see what happens when Zoro gets his damn chest sliced open by Mihawk.

The Cat · 09-28-2004, 06:43 PM

Zoro loses a pissload more blood fighting Hachi. Of course, that's assuming 4Kids will ever make it to the Arlong Arc.

Super Shy Guy · 09-28-2004, 06:52 PM

Well, if you include his "fight" with Arlong.

The part with Arlong ripping off his bandage, showing Zoro's wound will definitely be cut out. Which is a shame, because i always thought it was kind of cool how completely freaked out Arlong gets by Zoro's wound.

Yeah, I doubt that the Arlong arc will get shown completely. There's gallons and gallons and gallons of blood.

Super Shy Guy · 10-02-2004, 10:45 AM

Okay, One Piece episode 3. Three things stood out:

1) They left in the phrase "Santoryu"(Zoro's fighting technique; three sword style). I'm pretty surprised.

2) They cut out Morgan ordering his men to shoot themselves. This was expected, though.

3) This was probably the most hilarious edit so far. The scene where Helmeppo puts a gun to Koby's head... lmao. They changed Helmeppo's gun so some kind of... hammer on the end of a coil with a trigger. I can't describe it, it was hilariously reatarded . [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

Virtual Cat · 10-04-2004, 03:16 PM

^I saw that part, too, and I just want to know something. What the hell was that? It looked like something out of an kid's show.

Then they did their job right XD

Virtual Cat · 10-06-2004, 03:46 PM

Helmeppo: "Don't hurt my dad or I'll...um...give this kid a very big bump on his head!"

Cody: "Uh....Ah?
