The History of 4Kids Entertainment PART 2 - The Media Chronicle 

I almost choked on my food when the announcer said that "Piccolo was a Sayian just like Raditz."

"Piccolo is a Saiyan just like Raditz"

I remember the day 4kids lost One Piece. It was a fine day.

PICCOLO'S A SAIYAN, JUST LIKE RADITZ! I'm dead ...

Why the hell did they make Mr. Popo blue? The fact that they changed him from black to blue is more racist then leaving him black, and him being black wasn't racist to begin with.

"piccolo is a saiyan just like raditz" i had to replay that part so many times JUST to make sure i heard that right

Cool! You can TOTALLY hear me at the very end.

4kids dbz kai=censored version of nicktoons dbz kai nicktoons dbz kai=censored version of dbz kai dbz kai=censored version of dbz ladies and gentlemen we have the world's 1ST triple censorship

Wait...what about that cringeworthy National Anthem that 4kids made?

You can't forget the dub for Tokyo mew mew where they completely changed the name to make it more western

They seriously called piccolo a saiyan, just like radditz. I hate to say it, but even the makers of Dragonball evolution got that one right!

4:45 Wait...is that an edit?

Have to disagree with the Yugioh part of the video,they butchered so many things in the show. example: 1 Amazing music and character themes gone,replaced with their own. 2 Heavy-heavy censoring and editing of certain parts entire episodes deleted. 3 Beutiful and emotional moments completely ruined with stupid dialog (ep58-59 Carly vs Jack)and a whole lot more. 4 Original dialog changed to cheesy one.liners and stupid jokes. I dont have any problem with the voice actors i think they did a fine job for what they had exept for Jack his voice was bad it just doesnt fit him. I really hope that a different company decides to re-dub the whole franchise like Funimation did with One-piece. God bless you Funimation your awesome.

I'm kinda tempted to do my own dub of Sonic. I'm really good at doing his 4kids voice. I'll use the original lines.

I still wished 4Kids have made the whole complete DVD collection of Winx Club, TMNT 2003, Sonic X, Ultimate Muscle and the rest of the series back then before it was shut down forever because release one or two DVD with a few episodes is not enough and I prefer the whole complete seasons collections.

Piccolo is a saiyan just like Raddits

Toonzai was a sign that 4Kids was trying to undo the damage that they did (they were even planning on having a streaming service for uncut anime), but damn was progress slow. While other companies were maturing, 4Kids remained a product of a bygone era, or perhaps something worse. I'm surprised Al Kahn wasn't mentioned in Part 1 or 2. Not only do some of his quotes explain 4Kids's philosophy, but he had to take a pay cut as well to help keep the company afloat when it was going under. I hope Saban will get a video in the future. Their history should be as interesting as 4Kids's, if not more so. After all, they were known for various anime dubs, Power Rangers, and I think even original cartoons, and now they're only known for Power Rangers and even if a new Digimon series is created, Saban is unlikely to be behind that dubbing.

They did make -an adaptation of Kamen Rider Ryuki,- that was called, "Kamen Rider Dragon Knight," but Ryuki was one of the seasons with the riders killing eachother, (which they had to replace with riders being trapped forever in another dimension) which is why maybe I'd've liked it if it had instead been adapted from one of the KR seasons that was based on simply the fight between good and evil.

I always watched TMNT, it was my favorite show and re-watching some of the episodes, some of them have pretty dark themes in them, I mean the coloring of the backgrounds and characters were pretty dark too.

And that was the end of Saturday morning cartoons

i miss a lot of the 4kids v.a's. good thing a lot of them are in Gundam the origin The original ash v.a plays kid Char and his mom

If I were to rate some of their shows: __________ YuGiOh! - OK Pokémon - Above average YuGiOh! GX - OK YuGiOh! 5DS - Above average One Piece - Trash Dragon Ball Z Kai - Tolerable Sonic X - Trash YuGiOh! Zexal - Ok Cubix - o.o etc.

Am I the only one who likes the newer episodes of Pokemon. I never got why so many people think it sucks. I think it's pretty good.

U deserve so much more subscribers and views these videos are really good and helpful thanks

"Piccolo's a saiyan, just like us..." I can NOT stop writhing in pain.

Oh, and 4Kids' version of DBZ Kai was based on the ALREADY CENSORED Nicktoons version. And yes, 4Kids did enter into a license with Funimation. Funimation helped with their VHS/early DVD releases (EDIT: of Yu-Gi-Oh, Viz did Pokemon's release, and continue to do it) , along with scripting the short-lived uncut dubs (9 episodes for Yu-Gi-Oh and 6 for Shaman King? Anime fans loved it!).

I wish Funimation would buy the license to the whole Pokemon Anime Series including the Anime Movies too. No one likes the current voice cast so I would think the creators of the Anime would have a say in it being they make the Anime for crying out loud you'd think that they would have a say in a dubbing studio who would do it. I always thought that the company who does the anime always have a say in a dubbing company to do their series. Sure Pokemon is owned by The Pokemon Company but I thought I heard that anything that isn't video game related third party company gets it. So I thought OLM Inc would have a say in a dubbing company but they didn't even know that 4Kids lost the rights to Pokemon and were upset that the new company who does it got a brand new cast. I just wish Funimation would try to get Pokemon I think they would do a excellent job of doing it. On top of that we would be able to watch the Japanese version of Pokemon legally being Funimation would put the Japanese with English subtitles on their release and we would definitely get Veronica Taylor back as Ash and his mom. The whole cast would come back heck even Veronica Taylor herself has said that she's willing to return to do Ash again. I think they have to give Funimation a chance.

The original Yugioh dub was very well done not bad at all. In fact, loved it.. Can't say the same about their other shows

winx club on 4kids was my childhood

I remember that exact DBZ Kai commercial and the dude yelling “TOONZAI”

This video's pretty interesting - its interesting to see the fall of 4Kids, a once enormous and loved company, deteriorated over the years and lost its viewers' respect. Oh, as a side note, I love that you used songs from the soundtrack of the 2003 TMNT game throughout this video - I love that game and the 2003 TMNT series as a whole, really.

Oh my God, I hated how they kept rerunning Sonic X, I thought it was just me at the time!

I used to wake up every Saturday morning to watch Sonic X on the CW 4kids. Memories

_How were you able to pick the music for this video because they all match up to the shoes you were talking about XD_

Nice video, Skip. Your delivery has gotten top notch to the point where you effortlessly can pull off these videos. I admire your work and I'm proud to admit, I and your future viewers can learn alot from you. :)

"PICCOLOS A SAIYAN JUST LIKE RADITZ" When I heard that I just lost my shit irl. Can someone give me a rough estimate of how many things were wrong with that sentence? X'D

"Piccolo's a Saiyan, just like Raditz." That's a weird-ass looking Saiyan.

Is there a video where I can watch what happened to Tokyo Mew Mew specifically?

4kidz will always hold a place in my heart. I meant sonic X, Pokemon, dinosaur King, and Kirby right back at ya was my childhood.

hey you forgot about magical doremi!!!!!

“Piccolo is a saiyan just like Raditz

You've made some nice content. You've earned a new subscriber.

Great video going over the history of 4Kids. Do you think that you’ll do summaries on other dubbing companies like Bang Zoom Entertainment, Ocean, Sentai Filmworks, Cup of Tea and Viz Media?

Is it bad that I like 4kids Sonic X(although not as much as the Japanese version)?

2:55 Duke Nukem Accent Mode: *[ON]* / OFF

Are you going to do a retrospective on the old 4kids website?

Vegeta: Let's give him a moment to get his *friend* off the battlefield. Because friends are important and they must come first before any more violently epic fighting! Right kids?

Is there a part 3?

I definitely love the theme songs for "Sonic X" and "Kirby Right Back at Ya!"

4KIDS did not even have the nerve to edit out all the rice balls 🍙

They're learned nothing from One Piece when they decided to air Kai all butchered as it did. "Learn from your mistakes kids."

Piccolo is a sayian just like Raditz............ Brain fart.

Holy shit 4:14 Mr. Popo turn into purple as a edited, why 4kids so sensitive black skin? Akira Toriyama stated that Mr. Popo is black geez 4kids.

What exactly is the fight for the fox box I don't quite understand please someone explain

does anyone remember the name of that one show of the little animals in the shapes of balls? im not sure if it was on 4kidstv but i really wanna remember what it is! does anyone know?

OMG I have a dream last night were after airing a rerun of the last episode of Sonic X, 4KidsTv air the Sonic OVA and calling it Sonic X: The beginnings and it has the 4kids voices to reprise their roles!

Magical Doremi will always be my favorite.

What are the the 2 licences they still have ?

"Piccolo is a Saiyan just like Radtiz" XD

The fight for the foxbox that old really like the video sad I just found your channel I'm going to subscribe I was really impress with your knowledge

4:33 piccolos a saiyan just like radditz. it... makes so much scence!!!

Finally someone else who thinks the non 4kids Pokemon sucked until just recently, I still love the first seasons to this day

Ok I'll half agree with you on Pokemon. Gen 4 started out strong and was really good. After that gen 5 was okay, people say it's bad but being a fan since gen 3 and watching the first two gens I think it's the worst but the worst doesn't mean bad. Gen 6 at the start was better than gen 5 and XYZ was AMAZING. (At least the Japanese version I don't watch the dub). And gen 7 now is all good. They changed the art style but it's still good and really funny. I still have like 5 episodes to catch up on now tho.

Hey guys, if anyones going to read this, I have a fun little tidbit for you! So remember in Tokyo Mew Mew or Mew Mew Power in Amercia, when the girls went to the beach? In most shows, they leave out cleavage and other stuff, however, they kept in one of the characters' two piece bikini. To be fair, they werent overly skimpy or busty, but its kind of funny that of all things, they kept in a friggin bikini! Im...impressed to say the least.

Thank god Toonami showed Kai uncut

Laughed from 4:34 to 4:47. Gohans black eye edit is so stupid, it's on a hole new level.

I had no idea 4Kids was THAT bad. My childhood has blinded me

I'm literally scanning the comments section to see if Tammy Newborn is here raging like a little child. Either way nothing changes for how I view 4Kids. I saw their dub of One Piece as a kid and hated it and now after watching the FUNimation dub I love the series. What I really hate about 4Kids is their edits. Scratch that, I just hate censorship in general.

Let's not forget about the dubbing of Ultraman Tiga.

Ironic since most of my childhood was me watching Sonic X off of CW every Saturday morning. Every Saturday, my parents would wake me up for breakfast, and I'd binge the hell out of Sonic X. I never actually realized these fucked up edits until I started researching how much they screwed up One Piece. Imo, the most unforgivable one was Cosmo's death. I had finished Sonic X when I was about 6 and even at that age I thought Tails's voice acting was garbage and showed no emotion. The only thing that made me sad was the fact that Cosmo was about to die. And yes, I did cry, because I was emotional. I recently watched the subbed version and my FUCKING god, I cried so hard. The emotion that Tails JP VA had was insane. Also instead of saying a fake-ass "goodbye!" he said "I love you Cosmo!" Mad props to the song that plays during Cosmo's death in the sub. It made the moment that much powerful. Overall, FUCK 4Kids for absolutely disrespecting such a beautiful moment in my childhood.

4Kids TV is the reason why I stopped watching Saturday Morning TV for good and start watching my own set of Saturday Morning TV on DVD with shows like Kong: The Animated Series, The Tick, Futurama, American Dad, Sonic SatAM, Garfield and Friends, X-Men, The Sopranos, Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego, and more.

I wanna see the One Piece 4kids episodes back on youtube.

What 2 licenses does 4license have? Also the Winx and Shaman King had okay dubs.

what about the 2 year law suit with the danish card game with chaotic and 4kids?

Are you sure 4kids couldn't renew their contract to continue dubbing Pokemon? Cuz I thought I heard somewhere that they didn't even bother to renew. I could be wrong, you know how the internet is.

4:31 Why am I hearing Sonic The Hedgehog? XD

The isoBLOX thing is actually used in Major League Baseball now!

you don't fuck with dragon Ball z

4:46 idk why but Goku's face made me crack up

4:35 what's wrong with the promo?

I think i died inside when i heard the line about Piccolo i mean WTF did they even look at a picture of the show.

4:31 Wait a minute, IS THAT SONIC NARRATING FRICKING DBZ KAI?!?!

I remember this one thing they did with thumb wrestler's.

How could you forget the 'coup de gracè' Kamen Rider Dragon Knight... 😲 that show....wow..just wow. There is no words..

No Wonder People Hated Toonzai, Its Because Of The Anime Clips and thier entertainment.

The 4kids tv ninja turtle sires was badass

did they change zoros name because of copyrignt in america

4:27 Not going to lie, I burst out laughing.

More and more people were getting cable or satellite T.V. That's really what it was all about. A 4 hour block one day of the week is not going to cut it.

Can't wait for you to make a video about 4K Media considering they are following the same goal as 4Kids since the same people(more or less) work there like former 4Kids exec, Kristen Gray. They've screwed up Arc-V and changed the plot of Yugioh The Dark Side of Dimensions, which is a manga canon story, into an anime canon story. Anyone who actually read the manga knows they are 2 different stories due to the many contradictions. The end of the manga is Kaiba's driving factor for the movie.

even though I never saw the 4kids vers of dbz kai since it was nicktoons at the time, when I saw it was on cw I watched it a little and after seeing blue mr popo, I honestly thought something was wrong with my tv and spent almost 10 minutes figuring it out, now I know it was a stupid censor XD

Did Jason Griffith have ANY idea what words just came out of his mouth? Did he not watch a single episode of DB/Z?

0:57 (on the right corner) ...Sasuke?...Why?...

Piccolo's a Saiyan just like Raditz. sounds legit

Great video you forgot to mention konami buying 4kids productions and turning it into 4k media to handle the yugioh dub but still great video

I wonder what would've happened if Saban Brands acquired the Yu-Gi-Oh License how much would they Butcher?

well you know the sad part is i was born in this era. T_T

Imagine if 4kids got the license to Attack on Titan...

Man, 4Kids was the shit when I was a kid! Was.

i saw all the kirby rightback at ya but in kirby right back at ya king dedede is fliping someone off
