Kurata's Ambition Smashed: Fly, Yatagaramon

Kurata's Revenge

Sahgo's Notes: Well, here we go again. A nice episode overall, the dub is very servicable. The avoiding of the k-word is annoying, but let's forget that. Oh, inconsistency is all over this comparison!

Inconsistency:

Scenes from a flashback with a gun, which were cutted in last episode, are retained in this one. Maybe it's because of this blue-screen-thing. Bah, who cares. Trying to understand these dubbers is a really wasted effort.

 
Censor:

BUT they wouldn't let the cutted scene to air unharmed. They froze the frame above so we couldn't see Kurata shooting. But we can still hear the sound of the action, so... damn, wasted effort of hell.

 
Cut:

(1 second) ONCE MORE, the whole ''OMG-RizeGreymon-will-kill-the-audience'' cut.

DIE AUDIENCE DIE!


Side Note:

For some really weird reason, MachGaogamon's Gaoga Tornado was changed to Gaoga Tornade in the dub...... yeah. Curse these people, they made me waste a Side Note box!

 
Cut:

(1 second) AND YET AGAIN, the whole ''OMG-RizeGreymon-will-kill-the-audience'' cut. I won't bother taking screenshots this time. Any problem? No? FINE!

(1 second) Suguru putting Kurata's weapon down. Ok, this was really contradictory. I mean, the dub actually show this shot of Kurata's crazy gun-playing but they don't show an anti-weapon scene!? I mean, I THOUGHT this show was aimed at children! Argh... as I said, try to understand those people!

Nothing like cutting positive scenes =D


Side Note:

Gizumon:XT retained name (kinda... since in the dub it's written as "Gizumon-XT", but no big deal).

 
Inconsistent Censor:

THAT scene of naked Masaru in the bathroom was retained in a flashback (altough it was cut previously). But this time they censored it: firstly they made the "OMG IT'S A FLASHBACK!" border to be more covering, and added some foam. Well, not really foam, just some random white paint to mix with the ''OMG IT'S A FLASHBACK'' border.

We can already see that Disney (Disney, isn't it?) isn't really good with digital editing. Except for episode 7's citra madness thing.

 
Censor:

Now, Mercurimon's death. After Yukidarumon's black doting I knew something would be done, but not something so confusing.

Moment 1: Gizumon-XT's beam was erased. COMPLETELY REMOVED. I have no idea why, the scene is awkward in the dub. And not only that: for whatever reason, they reversed the "panning" of the scene: originally it pans down-up, but in the dub it's up-down.

Strike 1!

Moment 2: Ok, Gizumon-XT's beam is now here (uh... where the hell was it before?). The censorship is pretty much the same as Yukidarumon's in the last episode, but at least this time we don't have that weird black dot on Mecurimon's back.

Strike 2!
(As a side note: take a look at the up-left corner of the dub screen. Can you see it? Yes, they forgot to erase a small part of Gizumon-XT's beam. Weird....).


And... well, Falcomon's new evolve sequence was a little changed thanks to Disney's (Disney?) lack of ability. They simply added a giant flash in the ending of the scene, when Yatagaramon's flies around the screen and the word "YATAGARAMON" is appearing in the background, so then it would be EASIER for them to change to "CROWMON" (changing it only in the last frames, where there is no movement, so, easier).


Side Note:

And, yes, Yatagaramon's name was changed to Crowmon. This is not a very accurate change. Yatagaramon comes from Yatagarasu, a character of the japanese folklore. Yatagarasu is the bird of the sun goddess Amaterasu (I think those who played Okami must be familiar with this name). Even so, "Garasu" means "Crow", so... well, it's not totally inaccurate.
As additional information, in the Digimon World DS game he is called "Yatakaramon").
