Japanese Episode 028 Paint Edits

In the episode entitled "Pokémon Fashion Flash," 4Kids pretty much rid Scissor Street of any and all Japanese writing.

The original Japanese version is on the left, while the edited dub version is on the right. Click on each image to view a larger version.


The word Rokon (ロコン) has been erased on both the awning and the sign out front.

This time, the word "Rokon" has been replaced with a promo image of the pokemon.

"Pokemon Salon Rokon" (ポケモンサロンロコン) gets replaced with an image of Rokon.

After the commercial break...


There's that awning again.

This time, we get to see the full name of Yuki's salon, "Pokemon Salon Rokon." A stray "pi" on the pink sign on the left there got erased as well.

The awning's text is erased once again as our heroes run to Kasumi's aid.

There are a few paint edits during the big battle at the end of the episode as well.


The "Lovely-Charmy" sign gets erased, but this time 4Kids doesn't bother to replace it with the Salon Rockét "R." Also, the signs surrounding the salon have their text erased as well.

"Something-taru Poppo" (-タル　ポッポ) gets removed from the sign beside Takeshi.

That Poppo sign, which is beside Satoshi this time, got its text erased. I guess everyone decided to just step slightly to the left here? Also, the sign behind Yuki and Takeshi gets its text erased, but both characters are blocking the text too much to make out what it's supposed to be saying.

After the battle.

The pink sign there says "something-barii Pony" (バリーポニー).

Finally, a few random shots toward the end of the episode get digital paint.


This edit makes me laugh. In the Japanese version, this shot here is an establishing shot of Yuki's salon. In the dub, however, it's just a random shot of an orange awning that dub viewers would have no reason to associate with Suzy's unnamed salon.

The green side on the right there says "Salon" (サロン).
