[QUOTE="barasawa, post: 8386922, member: 44909"] Well, when you take a kids show from Japan, and dumb it down and even further reduce anything "negative" for the American "OMG YOU CAN'T SHOW THIS TO KIDS" crowd, you end up with something where nobody really dies. Even when it's obvious they've died, they say various euphemisms as a weak way of saying they didn't really die, but you probably won't even see them again. (ie: "They've gone to another dimension...", among others) There's a reason when in the One Piece animes first English dubbed releases they changed the name of Captain Smoker, and removed all his cigars he's constantly chomping down on. It's also why when Luffy got an ale/grog/beer at the bar, they had the English voice ask for a milk. No joking. (That's just one of the easy examples I can quickly recall, but the American censors alter a LOT of stuff.) [/QUOTE]
