Pearl's blue fire was in the original too.Kamex said:Was Mr. 11 previously in the anime before? Pretty quick to have him killed off, but I'm glad 4Kids kept it in.
And I was pretty surprised about the riceballs, too. It's like a new food's been invented in a 4Kids dub.
The Vanilla Ice reference was funny too, even though the guy has no place in the world of One Piece.
You remember when Luffy was fighting Krieg, on the Baratie? And remember the fire that, IIRC, Pearl caused? Remember it being blue? Well why was that? I think I remember it had something to do with some kind of censoring trick, like blue fire looks less harmless (even though it's actually hotter than regular red fire). Well, maybe I'm wrong, but perhaps letting Trace literally catch on fire and spread fire all around, regular red fire, is another case of lightening up on the editing?
Not to mention another mention of death, even if it wasn't direct, was that lady that was talking to Crocodile saying something like, "A pack of Billions ships were eliminated, not a man was left" (VERY paraphrased). I dunno, sounded a bit more carefree of the censors IMO.
And Mr.11 was shown in the beggining episode of the Drum arc. I think... "Saving Nami". Smoker/Chaser already has him tied up in his Navy ship.
