no, you see: it's a good thing they changed it! now no one dies! I mean, they replaced it with a girl getting beaten to the brink of death so bad she can never recover, and someone else getting thrown in a dungeon to die of malnutrition & neglect, but that's off screen. if it's off screen, it doesn't count. no one dies on screen, so it's better! but seriously, a simple realistic accident of slipping on the stairs to getting beaten so bad you're bedridden for the rest of your life. they made that soooo much darker

4kids made me consider One Piece as a huge joke for YEARS. It was so goofy and dumb I could never take it seriously even as a kid, it was only 10+ years later sometime in highschool I decided to give the One Piece anime a chance again because I would always peak at it after watching my weekly Shippuden and Bleach and wondered why and how it lasted so long. So glad I gave it a second chance, can’t believe they let a studio just ruin an anime like this.

I'm all caught up to this day and awaiting more Egghead arc every week. I'll be 39 next month. Sooo now I've been with this thing since I was Luffy's age and now I'm about to be one year older than Brook when he died. XD What a ride. 4kids ALMOST ruined that.

I consider myself fortunate I was clued in to the anime community at the time and learned about Funimation getting the One Piece license from 4Kids the day after it happened. If you weren't there, it's hard to conceive how much JOY rang out through every fandom. Even anime fans who didn't like (subbed) One Piece were happy. It felt like the Beast had been slain… We didn't know at the time 4Kids never wanted One Piece and was _legally forced_ by Toei to take it.

Oddly enough I have an old online friend who had worked on the 4kids version of One Piece and I asked him if he knew why the sea was redone in some of the episode openings. According to him, it was because the opening episode title text for those episodes had the sea moving in the background and it was impossible to add a new still frame with the new texts without it looking weird. Other episodes had blank backgrounds so it was easy to either snap a frame and enter the new text fonts for the episode titles, or if needed, remove a few things from that shot. But the sea was everywhere around the original opening episode title text. So instead of looking amateurish by just taking a snapshot of the frame & not having the sea move behind the new English text, they opted to make a new 3d sea animation as a background drop for those particular episodes. Obviously after so much time went into that, they scrapped that approach for future episodes.

I remember when the 4kids version started airing here in the states. I would catch episodes at random every so often, and I remember just hating this show! I could put up with Yugioh or Pokemon cheesy writing, but something about 4kids One Piece really irritated me more than the others. I remember watching an episode on toonami during the end of the Drum Island arc, and something seemed less annoying than the first time I saw it, not realizing it was the uncensored dub. 4kids ruined any interest I could have had in One Piece for almost 15 years! I was shocked when I heard how massively popular this show is and STILL on going. I started watching the series and now I’m committed to catching up one day! Currently at around episode 200!
@D1sc0rd-8 ай бұрын
To me One Piece is a kind of goofy you’re also meant to take seriously, but in the 4kids version they just do away with the seriousness and slap on another layer of uber goofiness to make it “4kids”. Which I of course think is so ridiculous because Avatar The Last Airbender was a show for kids, but also for everyone, it got into some seriously dark stuff but in a way that teaches you how to deal with and respond to tragedy and fear. Anyways keep it up. My best friend forced me to watch One Piece and I only did it because he was my bestie. My perception of it was similar to yours except I just had it in my head that I only liked a select few mature anime, Monster, Berserk, Attack on Titan etc. and that One Piece was probably the epitome of anime I didn’t like. But watching it and then catching up with the manga was one of the few best things to ever happen to me lol. It is just so profound and beautiful and wholesome. Please take my advice and if you are, stop looking up one piece content and if you ever see it click “not interested” if a video pops up so the algorithm doesn’t send you anymore. You WILL get spoiled if you give the internet any reason to show you one piece stuff. Even if you just want to google a name or something to jog your memory there’s a good chance it’ll show you a spoiler related to whatever it is you searched (given everything is so interconnected and there are very few one off characters and places).

They have no idea that hitting someone with a big stick like they saw on their favorite show might actually hurt someone.

Lucci would sound British Sogeking would be renamed soapyking Franky would sound like Johnny bravo Robin doesnt want to die, instead, she just wants to give up on her dreams Thriller bark: people dont die when they lose their shadows, they just fall asleep. The zombies are just shadows Brooks backstory could be changed to where he was always a skeleton who went to explore an iceberg with his family and ended up being separated. Brook would sound like dr eggman Summit war: ivankov's devil fruit would not change peoples gender, but instead, give other miracles, with the risk of going into a coma. Kizaru would sound like jeff golblum. Instead of dying, ace would be injured, but macro is able to heal ace in time, and ace decides its time to retire and hangs out with Rayleigh. Whitebeard is forced to join blackbeards crew instead of dying. Two year timeskip: the fake strawhats are actually just a bunch of toxic fans who were on there way to a convention in sabaody. Nami would wear a shirt. Fake robin would offer chopper a hamburger instead of a pickle. Dressrosa: rebecca would wear a full suit of armor. The people get absorbed in the arena come back later after donflammingo is defeated. Bellamy would sound like tigger Don flamingo would sound like michal jackson The birdcage would only possess everyone and not kill anyone. Wholecake island: big mom's devil fruit just gives life to inanimate objects with no mention of soul energy. Instead of shooting sanji, Pudding would try to pull out a dart gun with sleeping powder. Sanji's backstory would be changes so that of judges children were grown in a lab, like melina, in order to make the strongest super fighting force. Instead of dying, judge just throws sanji's mom in the dungeon because, hes an asshole. Yonji would sound like eddy from ed edd n eddy Niji would sound like sonic Ichiji would sound like kaz from chaotic Reiju would sound like sarah from chaotic Judge would sound like king dedede. Wano: kaido's son yamato would still go by the pronouns she/her.

agreed with most of these but i also think: - CP9 would still be zoans since the didnt censor pell and chopper. but they wouldn't be a government organisation (kids cant know about politics !!) and would be a separate organisation entirely. - lucci would have a badly done italian accent like how mihawk has a badly done french one. - people wouldnt die when they went in the sun after they had their shadows stolen, just turn invisible forever. - absalom is irrelevant and most scenes with him removed. (i cant see any way of working around his whole deal) which is good. i cant stand him. - any indication of bon clay, ivankov, inazuma, yamato and okiku being trans or in any way gender ambiguous would be removed (its just too confusing for the kids !!).

Using the youtube auto captions, i have compiled every instance of the phrase "has/have been [adjective] censored" using a regex, and there are 97 total occurences. With a conservative estimate of 30ml per shot, and 40% alcohol content, that would be 12ml of alcohol per shot. That would be 2.9 litres of whatever drink you choose, or about 1 litre of pure alcohol. With an overestimate of 5.5 litres of blood volume (more than the average person), would result in a blood alcohol concentration of 17.4%. That would make you very, very dead.

It was a fun ride watching your 4Kids One Piece videos and then seeing this finalized version of it. I’m happy you referred to it as the 4kids edit and not the 4kids dub. How I see it, dub implies that the only thing they changed was the language it was in. It doesn’t take a major One Piece fan to realize that isn’t the case with 4Kids’ version. The watching the 4Kids version of One Piece is pretty much the same as listening to the radio edit of your favorite song. You know how everything is supposed to go, but you know it can’t be that way because of standards and practices. I still don’t understand why the only Filler Arc they completely kept in was the Rukia Island arc. I thought the other filler arcs were taken out because the nature of those arcs added nothing to the plot and were only made so the anime wouldn’t outpace the manga. Lastly, I like that message you said at the end talking how 4Kids shouldn’t receive all the hate they got for censoring One Piece. We can definitely joke about how it was a bad move on their part, but we definitely should move on from this. I will say that the “What if 4Kids dubbed [anime]” parodies are really hilarious and do show how ridiculous their edits can get.

4kids was in charge of the export that was licensed to other territories, so they made their version blank of most text so they could edit their own text or choose to leave it blank. Most territories imported it from 4kids, rather than Japan, because 4kids is the licensor, so they receive 4kids version. You can tell because the scripts are translations of 4kids texts and contain 4kids edits.

One of the reasons I began watching One Piece was that the only thing I knew about it was it was on the same channel as Sonic X at one time and when happened to catch an uncensored episode on Toonami Adult Swim, I really began wondering what changes they could’ve made to the show to make it “for kids”. I’m now caught up on the show and love the fact that there was once this version only. Thanks for making this series!

I think the part where Sanji being removed as the crew is walking through Alabasta under the sheet is because Sanji walking around to begin with was due to him being an unknown member of the crew, giving him the leeway to not be hidden. But since so much got taken out, Sanji's phone calls, mystery, and the like weren't made clear so they probably felt like there was no justifying having him being the only human member to be walking around in broad daylight.

20:45 It looks like they needed to paint out the japanese characters to replace the title, they probably didn't have access to a clean version.

Genuinely, if 4kids had just realized that it wasn’t gonna be worth it to have to censor so much stuff for western audiences, they should’ve just stopped. They should have seen that this obviously wasn’t a show for kids, and was never meant to be one. At this point, the only thing the 4kids dub has done to one piece is make it seem so silly or stupid that a lot of potential viewers, now and then, have stopped watching it or never got the chance to. It’s now an ugly mark on the series that we can never be rid of and will never be forgotten.

I think it was rather disingenuous to not mention the 4kids not having to adhere to the US's regulations of Children's Television Act, FCC, and FOX. Also the requirements to have a required rating of TV-Y7 means they can only have mild fantasy violence which limits them a lot, and It is the major reason they had to make so many edits. If it was probably completely up to 4kids they probably would have just dubbed the shows and saved money on paying people to make so many edits each episode.

Regarding the water animation change: Both times it happened was over title screens. Maybe they didnt have a clean textless version and due to the complex computer animated water, it wouldve been impossible to edit the japanese text out without messing up the water animation. So they might've just opted to overlay a similar looking water animation to get clean footage.

Imagine them having to go through the horror aspects of Thriller Bark, the anti-government and geopolitics of Ennies Lobby, the human trafficking and slavery in Sabaody, the mere introduction of Boa Hancock, everything surrounding Impel Down and Marineford... ...and then literally every second of the show post time skip. Everything they censored has been turned up to 11 since they lost the license. They no longer exist as a company, if I recall, but I'm certain that any editors still watching the show are so glad they don't have to work on it anymore.
