It's ridiculous that the anime for Naruto and the manga for Naruto are saying two different things when they are owned by the same company. Why is it that the anime version is done to be more accurate than the manga? There is no valid excuse for it. Changing Drunken Fist to "Potion Punch" is censorship. VIZ decided that having Lee being accidentally drunk wasn't appropriate and they changed it to something utterly childish. The same way 4Kids used to remove tattoos and saki always became "grape juice". I would like to purchase the One Piece manga, but I'm not going to pay VIZ for their alterations and censorship. They also butchered Detective Conan. They switched the entire cast from Japanese to European. It's so bad that at times they have had to rewrite scenes to fit their changes. VIZ says they don't want people to use scanlations, but refuse to offer an alternative that matches the accuracy in quality to scanlations.

"Ambition Energy" just sounds idiotic. Here's hoping when FUNimation dubs the whole Water 7/Enies Lobby arcs they don't have the characters saying "Shave". The same way how the dubs use "God" for Eneru. I was sooo happy when FUNimation rescued One Piece in place of some of those "OTHER" anime distributors.
Did anyone watch the dub episode of One Piece 136, the first Zenny episode? In that scene where they think Zoro 'killed' Zenny, everyone suddenly gangs up on him. They call him a demon and such, but they switched Sanji's line. He was suppose to say Marimo, but the dub changed it to something else. Even if they used "moss head". It would of been better. The reason the line was funny is because of that bit. Having Sanji say it so suddenly and unexpected was part of the joke. I don't see why "moss-head" could be a translation issue. He has green hair. So, the audience should understand it. There is something I don't quite get about FUNimation. In their subtitle work, they always change Bon Clay's Okama Way to "'Oh Come' my Way". What is that? The subtitles don't hesitate to use words such as "queer" or "fairy" when talking about Bon Clay or Ivan. They even call it New Kama Land, but why do they feel the need to switch "Okama Way"? That's not even near what he's saying.

Even in the FUNimaition subtitles they go back and forth between "Santoryu" and "Three-Sword Style". Sometimes they use one. Sometimes they use the other.

#1. Toei (being the licensor) has the final say on what Funimation does with the script. To be blunt: "It's their way or the highway!"
#2. That is an editing problem that most likely got missed. There's your "Funimation screwup!" |

Spoiler for future arcs:
I gotta ask: would it be possible for FUNimation to have Nami say tangerines one time and oranges the next? Same should go for either saying berries or bellies (we're talking about the currency in One Piece). |

I can't for see any rational explanation for never allowing "Okama", but allowing "queer" and "fairy". Those are actually words some reader may actually take offense to. Do you really believe that they are writing their scripts, sending them back to Toei so they can approve every single line? Even in the subtitled version of the that Zenny episode. Sanji says moss head. If the subtitles can say it, why not the dubs. Why would Toei be demanding the dub be changed, but not the subtitles? Quote:

I'm willing to cut them some slack on some things, but when you are changing complete meaning of things. That's too far. At least FUnimation is minimal about that. I hardly ever care what they do with the dub work. Mostly, their subtitle work is strong. It's just silly when the dub say one thing, but the subtitles say another. I was pretty upset when I heard FUNimation changed God Eneru to King in the dubs, back when Cartoon Network was showing it. Though, i was a bit shocked to hear that the DVD version of both subtitled and dubs say "God". That was just odd. At least they eventually got it right for the DVDs. King made even less sense than Kami.

Small little update on One Piece Season Four: First Voyage coming out on Tuesday...
So "Kokoro no Chizu" and "Mirai Kōkai" won't be dubbed due to copyright reasons. Now.... the end of that message seems abit odd.... meaning are they replacing the ending completely with something else?

As for Kokoro no Chizu, it appears that they simply didn't have time to dub it in time for this release, and they seem to be implying that a dubbed version will eventually be included in Voyage Three.

Soooo... One Piece will FINALLY be returning to US TV.... Funimation and Toonami announced that One Piece will join Toonami's line-up May 18th.... at episode 207.
http://t.co/eUt2XZQ4q5 I can somewhat see why this was... I mean... for a weekly thing, you can't exactly start at the beginning of One Piece and expect great ratings... as I can admit the first.... 2-3 arcs aren't for everyone. But this ALSO works out, since the Funimation dub of One Piece stopped airing on TV right at the end of Skypeia. Now... what this DOES mean is that they'll probably have "Kokoro no Chizu" dubbed by then~

Honestly, I feel like this was a bad move. True, One Piece isn't technically a new series for Toonami, but it's been off the air for so long that plenty of the people tuning in now will either have never seen it before, or won't have watched it for so long that they'll have forgotten most of what happened before. True, they do have the older episodes available for streaming on their website, plus those One Piece 101-videos, but still, I'm afraid that this strategy will only serve to alienate potential newcomers, who otherwise might have been more willing to give the series a chance had it actually started at the beginning. True, the first few arcs aren't all that great, but on the other hand, neither is the Davy Back Fight, which is where they'll be starting now... And that's followed by fillers... And while that is then followed by what I consider the greatest arc in One Piece, half of what makes Water 7/Enies Lobby such a fantastic arc in the first place is the character-development, and I'm not sure how well that would work out if one just jumps straight into that arc without having seen the rest of the Straw Hats' journey leading up to it.
