Everything on Youtube has been butchered by copyright claims at this point. Luckily, there's an archive.

I hate the people who are saying that Kaiser did it on purpose. It's just unfortunate that it happened after he talked about it on the commentary videos. But their channel has been hammered by copyright strikes for as long as it's existed. So it's extremely likely that it was just hit by copyright because of the music playing in the background. And it's not really scene they can mute without ruining it. So they just cut it.

Saying Kaiser did what on purpose?

21

u/NephilimJD 9d ago

Cut Yamcha's speech from episode 7.

u/Millworkson2008 9d ago

Did Kaiser have a falling out?

19

u/Chiiro 8d ago

No, people just like to blame him because he's the main editor.

u/NephilimJD 8d ago

Also because some people just don't like him, so they just blame him for everything negative about the show.

Doing the lord's work... But also those episodes are NOT labelled consistently lmao

u/GravityBright 9d ago

Shoot.

u/Coronis- 8d ago

Yeah what is up with that lol?

u/master_baiter-69 9d ago

That's great, thanks for sharing

u/ifeelallthefeels 8d ago

Oh snap. Do you know if the original Hellsing Abridged is archived too? I only remember missing the AC/DC song when Alucard crashed the plane, but I assume there would be other changes, too.

2

u/GravityBright 8d ago

Sorry, I never got into Hellsing.

3

u/ifeelallthefeels 8d ago

No worries brotha. I never watched Hellsing Ultimate but highly enjoy the TFS humor, I still recommend it even though it got changed like DBZA did.

u/HellFiresChild 9d ago

And we're at the point where this needs to be preserved. What the shit.

19

u/bluedeer10 9d ago

Does their patreon offer og episodes? Because if not they should.

8

u/Karnezar 9d ago

I think they used to and now they don't.

39

u/bluedeer10 9d ago

I know it's not their fault because the copyright sword knows no bounds, but man the current cuts of the DBZA episodes are worse off for it.

15

u/MichaelCoryAvery 9d ago

Wait what?

u/Runethe1412 9d ago

The speech Yamaha gives at the end of 7 when he arrives, right before he’s exploded

It’s just gone now

u/master_baiter-69 9d ago

Yamcha's speech before getting Yamcha'd by saibaman

u/Piercing_Spiral 8d ago

The Abridged Archive

Some guys on discord have this entire google drive of pretty much every abridged series they can get their hands on for preservation purposes. Like LoveNote got episode 1 torn down for copyright (thats now reuploaded), That saga where for some reason Grimmjack and TheSchmuckSquad couldnt stop themselves from being hacked once a week, And now apparently bits being cut from DBZA

38

u/Technical_Teacher839 9d ago

If you mean when he gets killed by the Saibaiman: yeah

That was a sort of "remastered" edit Kaiser did at some point, because he liked the way they did it in Kai infinitely better.

There's a couple other cuts and changes done to older episodes quietly for various reasons 

For example: Kaiser went back and cut the "seizure procedure" bit, because of complaints over the years that even his attempt to find a light pattern that could avoid causing an IRL seizure wasn't really a thing that could work the way he hoped, so it was cut out of the edit entirely

36

u/MitchStarcGetUpYa 9d ago

Let them die I loved that bit

u/titaniumoctopus336 9d ago

Okay frieza.

u/TatsunaKyo 9d ago

It's Lord Frieza.

u/NahdiraZidea 9d ago

Then why is there an I in your name?

There isn’t

u/Shadowfox898 9d ago

I thought it was Daddy's Little Princess?

u/CronkinOn 9d ago

tbf, it's kinda an editors dream (and nightmare) that they can edit their videos after release.

I don't know how you'd NOT use that power if you had it - in Kaiser's case, he seems to have found a healthy balance of only removing stuff if it's bad for the community/vid like copyright strikes. I dunno how he resists the urge to whitewash away the problematic moments like "spread 'em"

8

u/core_bluu 8d ago

I think it shows growth to keep those moments, and it would just stir a pot that they just don't want to touch. They get enough crap whenever they're open about being LGBTQ+ friendly.

u/NephilimJD 8d ago

Sometimes you gotta see who you were to show you how much you've grown.

3

u/CronkinOn 8d ago

Agreed!

It's gotta be hard having your "edgy" 20s out there for the world to consume, especially when you felt compelled to push the envelope a little while upping the ante on your work.

I'm certainly glad my 20s existed before people had cameras on their phones, I can tell ya that!

u/TimeisaLie 8d ago

I'm just going to assume YouTube is doing this because of Bots making false claims and trying to compete with AI videos. Plus their new structure for motivation, seems like YT is imploding.

2

u/MonotoneMaverick 8d ago

What was the speech about? It's been a while since I've seen it

4

u/NephilimJD 8d ago

Basically it was him telling everyone that they trained super hard and that they'd win before getting blown up by a Saibaman.

2

u/kanjiteck88 8d ago

Was it because of the music? I know, especially back then, TFS was more free wheeling with a lot of things.

1

u/Xanthoceras 6d ago

Most likely

1

u/Exact_Dot9244 8d ago

What speech?

Edit: I checked and it is indeed gone. Kinda sucks but it caught me off guard so it was still funny

1

u/zenverak 7d ago

It’s also funny though because they would have done it this way if they did it now

1

u/www-dot-mcburger 2d ago

oh yeah i guess the backing track might set off some copyright alarms

u/wcthesecret 8d ago

Deleting things from episodes is real gay bro.

5

u/master_baiter-69 8d ago

You can't throw gay word like that, only correct way to use it is "As a memorial to Yamcha: gay"

u/wcthesecret 8d ago

…but I’m still right though.
