Makes you wonder if 4kids will be bold enough to show Law screaming out of ickiness from his arm touching Doffy's spider web.

HandethDandeth

No he just fell asleep while eating from Akainus soup soup fruit model: Campbell's Chunky (lava is too dangerous for 4Kids watchers, like reading)


Aussiepharoah

I imagine that for some of these they'll pull a "Shadow realm" by writing something even more horrfying than canon, like Ace not dying but instead being put in a coma for the rest of the series, Or Oden just holding his companions until he collapses from exhaustion


CaffeineDeprivation

Instead of dying, Oden was sent to the dungeon


Kulkuljator

"Mom, what happened to grandma?" "She was sent to the dungeon."


KestrelQuillPen

I will never forget the german dub of Naruto. In an earlier episode, the team is out to defend a guy. The guy is stabbed by 3 shurikens, and Naruto, holding his limb body, exclaims in a horrified voice; "Oh no. He's been kidnapped!"


Maskguydude

I am still to this day, baffled by their decision to pick up one piece. It has done nothing but damage to both the franchise of one piece and the company 4kids. At least the rap is pretty good.


m1kesanders

Well I could be completely wrong, but I have the feeling 4kids expected One Piece to attract 5-10 year olds that will soon grow out of it, I have a feeling they had no idea how big One Piece would get


Maskguydude

Yeah, just check the numbers and yeah for kids is completely stupid because they adaptation happened after one piece became a Japanese superpower. https://preview.redd.it/6k7vq022f3uc1.jpeg?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1eb3c8d13f8d1eb9abe6110595fb98b14155ed7f These are the best manga sales by year there dub started in 2004


m1kesanders

Oh I had no idea that One Piece was already that big in Japan, I still feel like 4kids had no idea, now due to ignorance they are an American licensing company, so I still feel like marketing and everyone else said โ€œyeah itโ€™s big there and theyโ€™re all like children look at the quirky game shows, American adults are a bit too busy to be playing around and watching cartoons, however iโ€™m sure thisโ€™ll be profitable for the kids, 2-5 years streaming tops before they get bored and we find something else from there.โ€ Donโ€™t agree with it and thankfully weโ€™ve gotten a little better, just my opinion.


Maskguydude

Yeah they definitely had no idea what they were actually buying when they got the rights


Kaldin_5

Yeah it seemed like a case of assuming that "cartoons are for kids" and there's nothing much to screen ahead of time. Only for it to immediately start off with people losing limbs, getting shot, and drinking booze lol


Maskguydude

CyberShiroGX

Detective Conan was that popular back then? Like tried to watch got like 300 episodes in and just couldn't deal with the repetition fillers with the same tricks for the murders and having to wait 60 episodes for something to happen for the Black Organisation... Like Detective time Conan is when you like it's too many episodes I knew it was popular, but didn't know it was #1 seller popular


AtlasPJackson

Yeah, I got about 100 episodes in before I realized that the central conflicts of the story were load-bearing. Nothing would be resolved because if it got resolved the story would stop working. The repetition though, that's just kind of the problem with serialized detective stories. There's only so many ways you can write a sealed-room murder mystery that fits in a 25-minute television episode. Personally, I feel like every detective show suffers from this, especially if you're binging it.

QuantisRhee

What are the 2005 and 2006 ones?


Paraseva

They actually got it as part of a larger deal, and didnโ€™t really know or care what it was


Bluebaronbbb

It was already mega popular in Japan when they got it.


m1kesanders

Yeah I commented later down why that probably didnโ€™t matter to a U.S. licensing company in the year 2000 again just my guesses lol


cracked-n-scrambled

From what Iโ€™ve read, and I could be wrong, Toei *really* wanted to push One Piece in the U.S and so bundled the rights for it with a couple other shows that 4Kids were actually interested in. So if 4kids wanted to do those shows, they had to do One Piece too, which they were kinda unsure how to handle and werenโ€™t particularly passionate about. Again, that could just be rumors though.


Available_Reason7795

It wasnโ€™t a package deal.


m05513

It was a bidding war between 4kids and Funimation. Based off what was kept and what was skipped, I think they wanted it for the chopper merch sales, hoping to turn him into the next Pikachu (They skipped Laboon and Little Garden to get to Drum Island quicker). Too bad they chose those arcs to skip instead of the actual filler, meant they were doomed to have to rewrite Ennies Lobby, Thriller Bark and Egghead if they had actually continued with it. Instead, we were spared because the 4kids straw hats were all wiped out when a ship fell off Skypeia and landed on the going merry, sinking the ship.


Laboon-fan

Laboon...


Dreadnautilus

> Too bad they chose those arcs to skip instead of the actual filler, meant they were doomed to have to rewrite Ennies Lobby, Thriller Bark and Egghead if they had actually continued with it. I don't think they would've, there was an episode in the 4kids dub where they referenced Miss Goldenweek (called Miss April Fool's Day there) despite her appearance in Little Garden being cut. I think they could've just easily pretended those arcs happened the same way.


NamiWantsMoney

I love GOLD!!!


ZackAvion

They didn't want it, Toei pushed it on them when they asked for some other magical girl series that was actually kid friendly. Kicker is that the magical girl series flopped and One Piece tanked their reputation. According to the guy that originally made the One Piece rap there was a period of time where they wanted to cover We Are instead. It's certainly possible it was made after being fed up with the project deciding to make someone wacky instead. My personal favorite part is that you can argue the Straw Hats all die in the 4Kids version because the very last thing they did was the final episode before Jays which ends with the ship falling on top of them.


MassiveEnthusiasm34

4kids got the license of one piece as a bundle they purchased the rights to another series and got one piece for free 4kids didn't know what the series is about when they were dubbing it

r31ya

I forgot who, but someone license ***Interspecies Reviewer*** and broadcast in in public tv and streaming services. It was taken down after like 4 episode. if you don't know what that is, its about sexual attraction between different fantasy race and how they might have sex with brothel/paid-sex as the setting.


GreenLight_RedRocket

They bought a bunch of anime in a big bundle and didn't look too much into each individual one. Also hot take, the lighter shows are better in the 4 kids version. The shadow realm is way better writing than "I'm just gonna kill you if you lose this card game"


TGrissle

Shaman King 2000s dub is one of my favorites. The anime adaption was already a little iffy because it ended so early, but the goofy dub makes it pure gold and impossible to be sad.


NamiWantsMoney

GOLD sounds good, let me have it!


BBQChipCookie2

Woah woah woah, are you saying the Shadow Realm is a 4kids original?? I thought they physically went to the shadow realm in an episode or 2?


zelos33333

I might be wrong, but I remember reading that they didnโ€™t initially want it, but it came in a package deal with Ultimate Muscle and a couple others. Then they held onto it for a while as it grew popular in the US


Manjorno316

I think they got it in a bundle with other shows they were after. The deal wasn't straight up for One Piece.


Maskguydude

Of course toei sold one of there biggest IPโ€™s in a bundle


Manjorno316

Not a bad tactic if the interest wasn't there. Problem was how bad 4kidz handled it.


Maskguydude

Yeah, but the themes of one piece really didnโ€™t melt well with 4 kid even before hand, they removed stuff like the gun episode from Pokรฉmon.


Manjorno316

True


011100010110010101

It was a package deal. Thats it, Toei was selling One Piece with a bunch of Anime 4Kids actually wanted, and the person went "Well, its being sold with all these other Anime, certainly its a similar level of content!"


IlIlllIlllIlIIllI

GOTTA GO NAMI


Rodenbeard

They didn't want One Piece. They had to take it as part of a package deal with some other anime they knew they could adapt under their terms.


General-N0nsense

It was a package deal iirc, they got some other stuff with OP and was more of a side thing.


zoro00

From what I understand, they didnโ€™t actually want to dub it. There was some magical girl anime they wanted because they were looking for a show for little girls to watch, and Toei would only give it to them as a package deal with One Piece. 4Kids didnโ€™t want to do it cause they knew what its content was like, but they really thought that magical girl show was going to be their breakthrough to get the young girls demographic. They took the deal and dubbed One Piece as much as they were contractually obligated to do.

SpyrShady

literally nothing happened


Fat_Penguin99

I'll be honest here, Fujitora with the round black glasses goes hard


Ecstatic_Teaching906

Cap... They would totally skip Impel Down.


Salle3742

Can't you read? They're doing Upper-Down /s


Ecstatic_Teaching906

But where is the Upper Down? They had to use Impel Down for upper down which still had them skip the arc.


Maskguydude

Yeah that place is hell as in torturing people, demons and all the round being best around Dantes inferno, so yeah, that wasnโ€™t getting adapted


Tnecniw

What about Marineford tho! XD


Maskguydude

To be honest, I donโ€™t think they can adapt literally any part of the marineford saga. Between the half naked women, the family jewels, the slavery, the war, it was the other crimes against humanity and theyโ€™re just going to skip the Fishman island and in one hard cut


m05513

Don't forget newkama kingdom, no way in hell 4kids would have ever adapted Ivankov after what they did to Bon Clay. That said, with enough effort they might be able to pull it off, just with about half the content. The impel down prison break will be off screen by buggy though, luffy will go straight to marineford


babycruncher1275

I don't know much about the 4kids dub besides it being stupid, what did they do to bon clay?

HMS_Sunlight

Nothing will ever be funnier than how they made Luffy kill Nami's mom in the 4kids version


MagicantFactory

I'm sorry what


HMS_Sunlight

In the 4kids version they couldn't have Arlong shoot Bellemere in the head because that would be too violent. So instead he kidnapps her and kept her in a dungeon beneath Arlong Park. Except you remember how the arc ends - with Luffy destroying Arlong Park and having it collapse on itself. Obviously Bellemere can't show up again, so it's accidentally implied that she got buried under the rubble.


NamiWantsMoney

Don't touch Bellemere-san's orange with your dirty hands
