Dejimon Toukyou Oudan!

Dang, a lot of cuts this episode. Hmph. Guess they're making up for the rest of the season.

Stupid Dialogue:
Joe: "My parents won't let me ride the subway by myself."

Why? Because of your fake health problems?

Izzy Americanises most of the names he pronounces.

Sora: "I guess my toy didn't like when you pulled on it..."

Wow, she really is a ventriloquist! Her lips aren't even moving when she says this!

Censor:
The Kanji for Nerima is painted over and replaced by the roomaji spelling.

Same for Nakano-sakaue.

Cut:
(5 seconds) Jou and Koushiro calmly hitchhike at first. The dub picks up with them making a scene.

(12 seconds) Yamato sticks his thumb out to hitch hike and a woman pulls up to him. She invites him into her car and he blushes. In the dub, Matt doesn't even do anything and he goes back to Tai and says "Well at least my cat isn't stuck in a tree!" Originally, Taichi asked him why he turned her down and he screams, "Because we couldn't all fit in her car!" Very funny. This scene was also moved to be in front of Koushiro's and Jou's.

Cut, Censor, Other Change:
What Saban does in this next scene is a cut-censor-other combo!

Cut - (5 seconds) Sora and Mimi hold up a sign that says "Take us to Odaiba" with a little heart on it.

Other - Saban moves a scene from later on of the guy in the van to before he stops for the sign.

Censor - Saban then censors Sora and Mimi holdng the sign when the van stops for them. Hence, "Cousin Dwane" is born.

However, did anybody wonder why if "Dwane" is Sora's "cousin," Mimi is riding shotgun?

Other Change:
In the van, the song that's playing is originally "Shinka -de- Guts," the Digimon-tachi theme. In the dub, it's changed to a rock and roll song. The original also plays "Love Serenade" later.

Stupid Dialogue:
Tentomon: "Ugh, you had to have that extra side of chili fries, didn't you!"

No, and he didn't.

Gomamon: "Good riddance, you were a lousy driver anyway!"

I know! Driving on the wrong side of the road the whole time, too!

Tai: "At least we got away from lame Dwane..."

Indeed.

Mimi: "Does anybody have something to eat?"

You're floating in the water. Go fishing.
