1) This episode just started off on a bad note. At first I thought that the folks at Cartoon Network had pushed the wrong button (It happens from time to time) and started the episode with the Audio and Video out of sinc. It wasen't until Rini ran up did I figure out that CWI did that on purpose. (And I thought DIC did a bad job) Now the translation was real good but everything was so bad (like one of those old dubbed japanese fighting movies) I thought I should write it down. |
DUB | Dub Character | Original Character | Original |
They cut this begining part and start the episode with Miharu.(see Cuts 1) | (Man in Distance with his sword in the air) | ||
Man | I've been waiting for almost a century... Now accept my challenge in a fair match! | ||

I've been looking for you for a long time... | Man | Miharu | Miharu Akiyama, a powerful warrior in the way of The Holy Single Sword, will accept! |

...and now I challenge you to a duel! | Man | Damn! How pompous! | |

(Raye and Lita's mouths move but we don't hear their words for a few seconds) | Lita | She did great! | |
Raye | She's powerful, all right! | ||
(Shot of Miharu and Man) | (Shot of Miharu and Man) | ||
Wow she's really good | Lita | Raye | She's brushing up her skill through those matches without using countermeasures. |
She's training to be a swords woman... | Raye | ||
(Man Falls) | (Man Falls) | ||
...She'll take on all challengers! Many people come to fight her! | Raye | Serena | Looks like an old Samurai match! |
Lita | She's camping under the bridge | ||
(Shot of Tent) | (Shot of Tent) | ||
This looks like a real Samurai contest! | Serena | ||
(Close up of sign) | (Close up of sign) | ||
Most of this shot gets cut out. (See Cuts 2) | (with left scrolling shots of Miharu) | ||
Raye | They say that she has been there for three days and had about ten matches against the so called strong warriors without losing! | ||

Miharu | Rini | Miharu! | |

2) Did anyone notice that Miharu has the same voice actor as Molly? 3) For informitave purposes I am listing all the othe names mentioned in the episode Torazo Miyamoto; What Tiger-eye says his name is to Miharu, Takezo Miyamoto & Musashi Miyamoto are the names Tiger-eye mixes up 4) Some background info on Musashi Miyamoto mentioned in the original, he fought Kojiro Sasaki at Ganryu Island. Dosen't mean much but... |
1) (See green box in scene above) Now this is a perfect example of how poorly I believe
the begining of this episode was dubbed. Why would CWI want to make this scene look like a bad
japanese fighting movie dubbed into english? Dosen't that reduce the quality of the episode? 2) The sign in front of Miharu's tent says, "I am a powerful warrior who will accept any offer for a match. Miharu Akiyama; Way of the Holy Single Sword" 3) The title of this episode was originaly where the first Graphic is added into the episode, right before switching to the Tsukino house 4) The book Tiger-eye looks in after beating Miharu says Musashi Miyamoto 5) The triangular image that appears behind Tiger-eye after duping Miharu looks a lot like the image against the waves at the begining of the Uncut Sailor Moon movies. |
1) Before the episode has even started they have cut out a shot of Man, (see 1st gray box in the scene above) 2) (see second gray box in the scene above) This shot is seen for a moment but the bulk of it gets cut out. 3) There is a big chunk of child abuse cut out of the fight between Miharu and her Mother. The gray boxes and yellow text are what is cut.
