Follow me at Twitter! / hensama24 Beginning a new series, I take a look at all the changes Funimation made to their FIRST attempting at dubbing Dragon Ball...in 1995! This video covers the Curse Of The Blood Rubies Film.
I don't think the main reason they added that chunk from one of the early Dragon Ball episodes is because to build up a relationship between Bulma & Goku, but to fill in time to the movie because they cut so much of it out
I mean obviously they picked that part to add because of how it builds upon the relationship of them but I feel the main reason was to build the length of the movie up
