Episode 50: Full-Power Frieza! Shenron, Grant Our Wish!

Freeza, now at full power attacks Goku. The first few hits are edited out…

Freeza keeps on punching Goku; the shots of Goku getting punched were shortened by about a second. Also, the shots that are shown are edited with a flash…

Freeza then throws Goku into the ground, Goku manages to fly back up and Freeza again, attacks Goku with a barrage of punches. It’s the same animation used before, and it’s the same kind of edits. The reaction shots of Goku were shortened by about a second and what’s left are edited with flashes…

Goku eventually breaks free of Freeza’s attacks but Freeza catches up to Goku and smashes his face into the ground. The shot of Freeza hitting Goku in the face is in the TV version but then cuts out Goku getting smashed into the ground.

After a little standoff, Freeza bashes Goku in the gut which was edited with a flash…

This knee to the stomach causes Goku to spit out some blood…

Speaking of blood, I should mention that sometimes there is blood and sometimes there isn’t. It happens very often that in one shot there will be blood and then the very next shot, it’s gone. I can’t really put every single shot up so here are two examples…

And here’s an example of how sometimes there is just no blood in both versions…

Meanwhile on King Kai’s planet, Kami tells King Kai that Mr. Popo has all seven Dragon Balls. As they talk about who should be wished back first, Tenshinhan tells Chaozu he’s staying with him and Yamcha says he’ll stay too. Tenshinhan yells to him…

OK, now. These next edits are a little weird and I’m sorry for the non-traditional look but, it seemed like the easiest way to put so many edits. The talk with Kami and King Kai about what exactly they’re going to wish for is almost totally different in both versions. The lines that separate the dialogue are there to note that it’s not continuing dialogue, there was something in between that line and the next that wasn’t edited….

Yes I realize that first edit in the last image could have been shortened because the first paragraph is the same but I realized this after I finished. Sorry about that.

Meanwhile on Planet Namek, Gohan rescues Bulma and brings her to Goku’s space ship. Inside she notices Piccolo. His blood is edited out in every shot he’s seen in…

She seems really creeped out by Piccolo and asks Gohan if he really has to come along with them. Gohan says yes, he’s coming no matter what happens. Bulma replies…

Back on the battlefield, Freeza and Goku exchange some words, and some of those words are edited…

Goku then surprises Freeza with a kick to the face using two of his feet! The attack was in the TV version, but this particular shot in the scene was cut out…

There is then a small scene showing what Bulma and Gohan are up to back at the ship. There is a tiny shot omitted from this scene showing Piccolo lying in a puddle of his own blood…

Back on Earth, Mr. Popo summons the Dragon. I believe there was a mix up here with the TV version line and the uncut line. It’s happened before so it’s totally possible. It just seems so obvious…

Back to Namek for one last shot before the episode ends. Goku throws a Kamehame-Ha at Freeza and yells…
