Episode 015: The Long Arm of the Claw
(Episode 016: Protect Kaya! Usopp Pirate Gang Takes Action!)

New characters introduced: None

     Dialogue Edit:
Kaya's fever wasn't mentioned as they were hiding in the forest.

     Digital Edit:
You know you love it - more Veggie Pirate weapons. [Dub|Sub]

Err.. another shot with all the weapons. [Dub|Sub]

Here's the weapons again~ [Dub|Sub]

     Dialogue Edit:
One of the Kuroneko pirates says that the name "Captain Kuro" is taboo, so they think of the name that the villagers called him.. in the dub, they thought, "claw-something", then they started calling him "Santa claw". In the original, they knew it was something like "Kuraha-something", then they started calling him "Kura-san". Goo Kura-saaan~

     Clip Edit:
The scene with Kuro's reflection on all the broken claw swords and saying he'll kill Jango too, and the Kuroneko pirates asking why Kuro wants to kill all of them were switched.

     Digital Edit:
The sword by (or in) the Marine soldier in Kuro's thoughts was editted again, see previous episodes for the screenshots.

The words below the tatoo on this fellow pirate is gone. [Dub|Sub]

     Clip Edit:
Luffy staring at Kuro is cut very short, and Kuro's annoyed look is cut out.

     Dialogue Edit:
In the original, Kuro doesn't talk while he's using Shakushi.

     Clip Edit:
The close up of Luffy and the Kuroneko pirates pleading to Kuro to not use Shakushi is cut out (the first time it happened, it happened twice but 4Kids left the second time it happened).

     Name Change:
Kuro's Shakushi is dubbed "The Cat Out of the Bag Attack".

     Clip Edit:
The scene with the voices of the Kuroneko pirates' voices slowed down is cut out, this scene occurs right after the eyecatcher.

     Clip Edit:
4Kids skipped about 5 or more deaths during Shakushi.

     Dialogue Edit:
The Kuroneko Pirates explaining how Shakushi works (Kuro attacks blindly while he's using Stealth Foot) was not present.

     Clip Edit:
Luffy getting cut by Shakushi is cut out, as well as a couple of scenes around it.

     Digital Edit:
An example of a 4Kids' edit of blood. [Dub|Sub]

     Clip Edit:
Luffy's straw hat getting blown away from Shakushi was not shown.

Tamanegi giving Jango the Pepper Attack is cut out, but in the dub, as the Veggie Pirates were running away, Onion said that "he got him good with the pepper powder".

     Dialogue Edit:
Someone HAS to explain this part to me. I'll explain the situation first. In the original, Kaya-san took one of Jango's chakrams and threatened him. She said that if Jango hurts the kids, she'll kill herself, and he won't get the will. Sounds right, right? Now then, in the dub, here goes. Miss Kaya steals one of the chakrams and holds it up to her throat (this part is right). She says that if he doesn't let go of the kids, she'll use his weapon against him. All right, that sounds OK, now here's the part that needs explaining. Jango says that the chakram is too powerful for an amateur to hold, and it will turn on her. Then he orders Kaya to drop it because they don't know what will happen if she keeps holding it. Then.. Kaya, still clutching the chakram up to her neck, said "it's.. too strong!".. ... THE CHAKRAM IS POSSESSED NOW!?

So then dubbed Jango goes and helps her out because "it's too strong" for Kaya. In the original, Jango agreed to Kaya's terms to let go of the kids, so he walks up to Kaya to take the chakram back and give her a feather pen to write the will.

     Digital Edit:
Jango's hand got a little edit. [Dub|Sub]

And again. [Dub|Sub]

Here also, don't look at the hand holding the chakram. [Dub|Sub]
