Yeah, it's one of those things that, other than nostalgia, there's really no defense for it.

Jesus I seriously don't remember anything about the Ocean Group dub except for Goku and Vegeta's voices and "IT'S OVER 9000!".

Oh that definitely happened along with Tien saying "You just wait til it grows back!" when Nappa punched part of his arm off.

I remember it had a lot of attempted Bowdlerizing by what they said.

"Man, these earthlings sure run away fast!"

Stuff like that.

Man, you can just sense some tropers utilizing all their Google-fu to find the scene while we talk about it.

Apparently the building Vegeta and Nappa crashed through was abandoned because it was a Sunday (And Nappa apparently knows that Earth buildings are mysteriously vacant on Sundays), and apparently everyone in the entire goddamn city was able to evacuate within the half a second it took Nappa to vaporize it.

Not that it matters anyway, since people can't die in Ocean Dub, just get sent to the next dimension.

It's not in the so bad it's good category yet.

I found out about this site a while ago. It was made a long time ago, but it's basically him pointing out everything wrong with the original Ocean dub, episode by episode.

As last rides for three eyed cowboys go, it was pretty good.

Still kinda a dumb line, but hey, early dub. Can't all be winners.

You are wrong. I am not imagining that at all.

That's because you have no soul.tongue

Howdy folks, I'm Tien Shinhan. Look at mah trucker hat.

Even funnier is that Tien and Android 17 are voiced by the same guy in DBZ Abridged.

Tien the three eyed cowboy!

Fired a strong Kikohou!

But since that Nappa saw him!

It was not the final blow!

All of the other warriors!

Cried and shouted out his name!

But for our man Tenshihan!

It was the end of the game!

Man. I actually think I could keep going with that one.

That was early dub DBZ for you man.

I mean, Vegeta compared being a good villain to being a photographer....

Which is kinda an apt comparison, but still.

The site that was just linked to that compares the original Japanese and the Ocean dub is a bit biased, and has some errors.

For one, the original Japanese scene where Krillin is about to kill Vegeta does NOT have Goku begging Krillin to let him live because he thinks Vegeta has learned his lesson or whatever. We all should know by this point that Vegeta only lived because Goku wanted to fight him again, nothing to do with the so-called "mercy" the site claims he intended.

Well that explains to photos of the Japanese dub being in low quality VHS.
