Here is a Senerio: What if 4Kids did get Naruto??

**Funkatron** · 02-06-2004, 08:32 PM

Ok, I'll say this upfront: Moderaters, close this down if things get crazy. Posters, keep a level head.

If 4Kids got Naruto, what sort of wierd changes do you think they'd make??

**Batmex** · 02-06-2004, 08:41 PM

Senseless name changes is a good start.

**Funkatron** · 02-06-2004, 08:44 PM

Naruto>Bob the Samurai

**Beat** · 02-06-2004, 09:06 PM

Name changes, elimination of the majority of lethal weapons, all refrences to death removed, blood removed, language changed to ****** puns, 99% of all Japanese refrences changed to American ones, food being changed to common American cusine, oh, and 99% of the VA's won't sound a thing like their Japanese counterparts.

Did I hit all the nails?

I think so

The otaku would cry. It would likely get many edits due to violent content and language. Names would very likely be changed to suit the American audience and it wouldn't be the show everyone seems to joygasm over.

It will still be the same show. They will still watch it every week and complain its not uncut instead of complaining about outrageous prices for the DVDs if it got good treatment.

Second correction: The otaku would try to kill 4Kids employees.

Zaboomer to Kasey: Please... carry me to Hector... I want to see him before I go to the Shadow Realm...

Zaboomer to Hector: Please... forgive me. If I could... I'd like to go to the Happy Shadow Realm where you'll meet the Heart of the Scrolls... not the unhappy one...

The group walks away from Zaboomer and Hector, lying in a big black shadow.

Naruto: Do you think they'll go to Happy Shadow Realm or Home for Infinite Loser Shadow Realm, Kasey? They were good people, and I know that because of friendship they'll conquer all even when they were really bad guys but were good yay for teamwork YAY!!!!!

Kasey: No doubt... they went to Happy Shadow Realm... and although their minds were sent to the Shadow Realm, they're friendship is too strong, and it can beat anything that happens in Happy Shadow Realm. Now let's go eat some popcorn balls.

Naruto: YAY!!! POPCORN YAY I SDOUND LIEK A GIRL YAY YAY WOO!!!

I fixed it for you.

Well, reducing the show to four minute shorts is a good start.

That's the only way they could probably get away with some episodes.

**Youko Recca** · 02-06-2004, 10:12 PM

It's almost impossible for 4Kids to edit/dub Naruto.

"Almost" did not save Saint Seiya from DIC's claws.

True,though when Naruto flops from either confusing kids or sucking hard 4Kids will think "oh fiddle sticks!what did we with our unsufferable editing skill do wrong!?It worked for Yu-Gi-Oh.Oh well we'll just give it the 8am slot".

One things for sure: If 4Kids got Naruto, then you can kiss episode 2 good-bye, as the epsiode centers around a boy wanting to learn Naruto's "Sexy no Jitsu" maneuver.

**Chad Bonin** · 02-06-2004, 11:10 PM

The sun will still rise the next day, the Toonami forum loses the Naruto Clause in the FAQ, and everyone will wish FUNimation grabbed it.

And I chuckle... but just a little.

Don't forget new music and a lack of uncut and/or subbed DVDs.
