Dragon BallEdit

Emperor Pilaf SagaEdit

The Secret of the Dragon BallsEdit

• In the Ocean Group Dub, Goku is wearing underwear in the scene where he skinny dips to catch a fish. Also the part where he pees in the water, just before he starts fishing with his tail, was removed. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.

• The part where Goku lifts Bulma's skirt up to see if she has a tail is still present in the Ocean Group Dub but her panties are oddly repainted pink to match her skirt. The part was absent from Toonami's broadcast of the FUNimation Dub. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• The part where Bulma shoots Goku with a gun was completely removed in the Ocean Group Dub and Toonami's Broadcast of the FUNimation Dub. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• The scene where Bulma lifts up her skirt and offers to let Goku touch her butt if he gives her the Dragon Ball was completely removed in the Ocean Group Dub and the Toonami Broadcast of the FUNimation Dub. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version, with Bulma doing the exact same offer that Goku can touch her butt.

The Emperor's QuestEdit

• When Goku is naked standing in front of Bulma in the beginning of Goku's bath scene there is a stool digitally added to cover his private in the Ocean Dub. During his bath scene, the lower part of the screen was cropped to make it so his crotch was not visible. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• The dialogue in Bulma's bubble bath scene was completely changed in all of the English dubs, except on the Harmony Gold version. In the Japanese version, Goku is talking to her about her breasts, but in the English versions, he is saying that he wants to scrub her back.
• The scene of Pilaf passing out due to the gas he used against the Pilaf Gang is cut from the Toonami broadcast. This scene is left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• In the Ocean Group Dub and Toonami Broadcast, the scene where Goku takes off Bulma's panties and discovers that girls don't have male private parts was completely removed. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.

The Nimbus Cloud of RoshiEdit

• In the Ocean Group Dub, the blood in the fight between Goku and the Bear Thief was removed. The blood scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• The scene of Bulma lifting her dress up for Roshi was removed from the Ocean Group Dub. Instead, Roshi just gives her the ball. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version, with Master Roshi getting a nosebleed as a result.
• When the episode aired on Toonami, Roshi asks to see Bulma's bellybutton instead of her underwear. The scene of her exposing herself was removed, but the later shot of her lifting her dress back up to get the ball was curiously left in.
• In the Ocean Group Dub and Toonami Broadcast, the scene where Bulma loads her machine gun and shoots at Goku for taking off her underwear was completely removed. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.

Oolong the TerribleEdit

• Goku touching Pochawompa's crotch was removed from the Ocean and Blue Water Dub but him touching Grandma Paozu's is still present in the Blue Water Dub, but the dialogue is changed to make it seem like Goku is dusting off the old lady's apron. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.

Yamcha the Desert BanditEdit

• Goku touching Oolong's crotch to check to see if he is male or female was cut from the Ocean Group and Blue Water Dub. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.

• The scene where Bulma lured Oolong as a fish with underwear was changed to dollar bills. However, the Blue Water dub retained the scene. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• The scenes of Oolong's diarrhea in the bush and coming out with toilet paper were cut from the Ocean Group Dub. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• The scene where Oolong turns into panties in front of an angry Bulma was removed from the Ocean Group Dub. However, the Blue Water dub version retained the scene. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.

Keep an Eye on the Dragon BallsEdit

• In the Ocean Group Dub, the sequence of Bulma in the shower is shortened, and is risque shot of Yamcha seeing Bulma walking around naked is replaced with a tamer silhouette. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• When a nude Bulma looks out the camper window, there is glare covering her breasts. There is a common misconception that this glare was added for the edited dub. The glare was originally there, but was thickened to cover her entire cleavage. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• Bulma was digitally covered up in the early dub with the Dragon Balls in one scene, and just with more covers in another. This was also done to disguise the original plot of Oolong attempting to molest Bulma in her sleep. She was not covered at all in the Harmony Gold version.

The Ox King on Fire MountainEdit

• The scene in which Chi-Chi decapitates the dinosaur is edited and it shows the shadow instead. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• The moment when Yamcha hits Chi-Chi is edited in the Ocean Dub. Instead, it shows Puar's face with the sound effects of Yamcha knocking her out in the background. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• A paint error in the original version left Bulma's legs naked in one scene. When the episode was dubbed into English, FUNimation caught this and changed the color of her legs back to the blue of her pantyhose. While this could be seen as a correction rather than censorship, the eventual unedited English dub restores the original cels with Bulma's legs, incorrectly matching her skin tone. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version, however.
• In the original uncut Japanese version, Chi-Chi pushes Goku off the Nimbus for his patting her crotch. In the edited dub, it is because he criticizes her revealing outfit. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version, with Goku falling off Nimbus and crashing down to the ground.

The Kamehameha WaveEdit

• Master Roshi's desire is to see Bulma's breasts were covered up with dialogue of him asking for something else in edited dubs.
  • In the Harmony Gold version, he requests a kiss.
  • In the Ocean Group Dub, he wanted Bulma to set him up on a date with an old woman like him.
  • In the edited Funimation Dub shown on Cartoon Network, Master Roshi wanted Bulma to walk on the beach with him.
• In the early English dub, the scene where Oolong disguised as Bulma and exposing his breasts to Master Roshi giving him a nosebleed was completely removed. This scene was left in the Harmony Gold version, with Master Roshi getting a nosebleed.

The Penalty is PinballEdit

• The scene where Bulma shows the middle finger to Emperor Pilaf while being captured was removed from the Ocean Group Dub. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• A scene where Yamcha freaks out from Bulma exposing her cleavage while waking up Goku is removed from the Ocean Group Dub. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version, and his pupils turn into nipples as well.
• The English TV airing removed Oolong's private part, which was visible when he was in his bat form. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.

A Wish to the Eternal DragonEdit

• Like the previous episode, the penis that is visible in Oolong's bat form was removed in the English TV airing. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version.
• Oolong says that he wishes for the world's most comfortable underwear in all of the English dubs, but in the Japanese version he says that he wishes for some hot chick's panties. This scene was left unchanged in the Harmony Gold version, and he requests for Bulma's panties.
• The panties Oolong wishes for has Shenron on it in the Ocean Dub.

• Krillin farting in Bacterians face was edited in the Toonami Broadcast to make it look like he was simply mooning him.

Quarterfinals ContinueEdit

• Ranfan's stripping was removed in the Toonami broadcasting. Instead, the scene of one of Nam's failed attacks is shown followed by her twitching foot to show she was knocked out. This is strangely not edited in the recaps in later episodes, which clearly shows her in her underwear.
