One Piece (4Kids dub)

One Piece is a Shonen Jump anime animated by Toei Animation. When the show first came to North America, they had 4Kids Entertainment to do the English dub in 2004. It is considered as one of, if not the worst anime dubs to ever exist.

Why This Dub Sucks

 * Bad, mediocre and unfitting voices:
 * 1) *Luffy (Bella Hudson) sounds like a loud and annoying child, even when he does his Gum-Gum techniques.
 * 2) *Nami (Kerry Williams) is irritatingly scratchy-sounding and very emotionless.
 * 3) *Sanji's voice (David Moo) doesn't fit him and is very nasal.
 * 4) Horrible, unnecessary & nonsensical censorship.
 * 5) *Cigarettes turned into flavored lollipops.
 * 6) *Shotguns, some swords, and double shotguns are changed into squirt guns, shovels, and toy guns.
 * 7) *Asian cuisine turned into westernized cuisine.
 * 8) Name changes.
 * 9) Zoro is now Zolo possibly due to a translation error.
 * 10) Miss Merry Christmas and Summertime is now Miss Groundhog Day and Thanksgiving.
 * 11) Smoker is now Chaser.
 * 12) Whiskey Peak is now Misty Peak.
 * 13) Marines is now Navy.
 * 14) Devil Fruit is now Cursed Fruit. This one can be a bit understandable.
 * 15) Portgas D. Ace is now Portgaz D. Trace
 * 16) Usopp Pirates are now Veggie Pirates.
 * 17) The soundtrack now uses 4Kids' in-house electronic music.
 * 18) Entire story arcs were removed. These includes Buggy's Crew: After the Battle!, Warship Island Arc, Reverse Mountain Arc, Diary of Coby-Meppo, Little Garden Arc, and Goat Island Arc. This caused a major amount of dub-induced plot holes.
 * 19) The 4Kids Pirate Rap could be a bad quality for some but a good quality for others.
 * 20) The infamous rubber knife and axe scene.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Zoro, and Usopp's voices fit their characters.
 * 2) People wished Zoro's voice actor reprised his roll in the Funimation Dub in 2007.
 * 3) At least 4kids realized their mistake of not fully checking.
 * 4) For some, as said before on WTDS#6, the 4kids Pirate Rap can be enjoyable.
