4Kids Hates Riceballs

[Capinoel]

FUCK YOU 4KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Capinoel]

4kids son of bitch.

[Slowbroking1]

So? 4Kids was right. In fact, if i say the word riceball too many times, my head will explode because I cant except the reality of riceballs... This is why the government covered up the conspiracy so that I can rest in peace knowing that ash is eating a jelly filled doughnut!

[sammetju08]

the animation really looks off when you compare it (the 4kids versions look kinda crappy)

[Siilvi13]

the rice balls are so evil. 4kids logic

[Goose5419]

THE RICE BALLS.... they're... to... much

[franciscojavierm]

What is their problem??? What is the point of watching anime if you can't learn at least something about other culture!

[Thedude90000]

@franciscojavierm 4kids dont want kids knowing other people food ( am sure it because they want them to believe this anime / pokemon was made in usa etc

[franciscojavierm]

@Thedude90000 So they basically believed that American children were stupid and wanted to claim someone else's work as their own... Stay classy 4Kids!

[TGWTFamousHat]

you can obviously tell that they poorly edited it

[ughdoihaveto]

wait what's so wrong with rice balls?

[paydafee]

@ughdoihaveto white kids don't know what riceballs are

[Owneador1337]

0:25

"Wow, what's that???" Shouted Ash, surprised after seeing a ginger chink.

[SargonKingOfDarkness]

the best one in my opinion is when ash and company are very clearly eating a riceball and kept calling it a doughnut

[MetaruSonikkuX]

@SargonKingOfDarkness is that the episode when Ash catches a Mankey?

[SargonKingOfDarkness]

@MetaruSonikkuX that's what i remember good on you for also remembering

[MetaruSonikkuX]

@SargonKingOfDarkness Thinking back, I totally remember them catching a rice ball and calling it a donut xD I always thought it looked weird :\

[jct200]

the laws of physics of sandwiches dont apply in the eyes of 4kids

[thehalowarthog]

These anime should have stuck with funimation. And isn't giving animals peanutbutter sandwiches bad for them. Rice isn't so i guess 4kids hates japan and animals.

[Thedude90000]

@thehalowarthog if they hate japen they wont take the anime

[thehalowarthog]

@Thedude90000 What does that have to do with anything. America just took the anime and make it seem like they're the ones who made it. Kids are that stupid now a days. Besides, i hate McDonalds, but the burgers are awesome, thats like a comparison right there. So just shut your trap about how 4kids is good or whatever............

[Thedude90000]

@thehalowarthog what does Mcdonalds have to do with this.

[thehalowarthog]

@Thedude90000 thats like america hates japan but like their anime, (facepalm)

[ultraisaac2]

For some strange reason Ash and Moreson (guy with orange hair) Remind me of My friend and I.

[murdokdracul]

I miss Wobuffet

[zZeternityXx]

Riceball?!?!?!? Blasphemy.

[buzzrobby]

4Kids dont hate riceballs.. they Hate Japan....

[tomboypanda]

alota anime from english dubs get rid of azn food

[Nikotiini69]

(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ Onigiri!

[Megamean09]

That cracker edit has to be fake, it looks terribly done!

[BuzziMuzzi]

If you look closely you see it's edited.

[charizardoreo]

i want someone to go make a sandwich and roll it down a hill and tell me if it works

[charizardoreo]

on the part with ivysaur and wartortle 4kids just used 1 picture of the sandwich and rotated it

how cheap

[Cookieandcreame51]

Goddammit 4kids. . .

[VanilkaBon]

Promoting Subway! They want us to eat Fresh. :O

[DeidaraTheTerrorist]

No. Riceballs>sandwiches

[twewy1]

Munchlax is working for 4kids, hiding the riceball then eating it so nobody sees it.

[DylanAnantha]

4Kids just wants all the riceballs to themselves.

Riceballs with sesame seeds and soy sauce = Heaven.

[sundownslayer]

I'm pretty sure American kids wouldn't know what a riceball is anyway

[loleo123]

goku's japanese voice :P perfect for him :P

[Diaspora32]

say what you will, I enjoy the variety of foods, that being sandwiches and crackers instead of just pure riceballs

[CorpseTongji]

DATS WACIST!!!

[1234animelover1234]

So I guess 4kids is obsessed with sandwiches....?

[moecorVA]

how the fuck do you roll a sandwich like that?

[DawnDP26]

WTF!!!! I HATE 4KIDS!!!!!!!

[MisterMaster389]

Does 4Kids really think the children watching at home can't accept the reality of riceballs?

[Thedude90000]

@MisterMaster389 Am not trying to be mean but most of the food is rice balls lol :l

[MixxedMusic]

you can fucking split a sandwich

[spud92988]

Ok wtf? 4Kids got WORSE?! I've seen them eat rice balls before! This show went downhill when all the voice actors started changing and this just further proves that.

[protoblaze]

sandwiches DON'T bounce like that!!!

[imim02]

When Munchlax was holding the cracker, the size of it increased by a lot, compared to when it was on the plate. That just proves 4Kids is also bad at editing. =.=

[FG10sAdventure]

I like the cracker better. Makes them look more pathetic

[FG10sAdventure]

actually those are jelly filled donuts

[masternachos]

In all fairness, when I was a kid watching Pokemon, I'd always wonder what in the world they were eating. It distracted me from the main story.

[zeroman1997]

sandwiches. rolling down hills since 2005

[loke177]

haha, the last one got me.. AHAHA.. I mean 4kids... whoever came up with that deserve to get his balls cut off.. or like james once said. 4kids are the devil

[fredzillacece]

1:16 They should've played Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock...

[Aikan009Kurenai]

LOL Are you serious?! That's ridiculous lol I thought they'd be over this by now.

[TheLastFemaleSaiyan]

Can someone explain to me why they need to censor a type of food??

[Maroko4]

But I still believe that they called it "Pączek" Which is Polish for.... A pastry similar to Donut. Only there is no hole... But it was still Riceball, the First Series Mankey episode

[Maroko4]

I think I remember correctly but Polish Dub of Pokemon which was probably based on the English one had Riceball in it, in the very first series, the episode in which Ash Catches Mankey and instead catches Riceball. This was still before Riceballs were censored though... Now we even have the Crackers for Team Rocket...

[TheCrazyTurtleClub]

A country that is mostly made up of multi-cultural influences censors a food that is that of a different culture...

[sonicwingmode2]

sandwich does NOT roll down a hill like that >:(

[LightningFlares]

We mustn't expose them to a culture not of theirs!! WE mustn'!!

[Gabo2oo]

Here in countries besides USA we have to watch the July 4th and patriotist specials of your cartoons, but 4Kids doesn't want that a non-american food appear in an animé? WTF?

[MonochromeDreams1234]

the reason they're turning riceballs into sandwiches is that, well.... riceball is japanese dish I guess? and since they were doing an american dub they decided to put sandwiches?

[MisterMaster389]

@MonochromeDreams1234

Yet American-made "Kung Fu Panda" takes place in Asia and clearly features noodles and dumplings.

If childen can see Po and Tigress eat dumplings, then they can see Ash and brock eating riceballs.

[MonochromeDreams1234]

@MisterMaster389 hmmm... you've got a point guess 4kids sucks for doing this pointless thing. i mean it doesn't matter if kids watch ash eat riceballs *sigh* again 4kids sucks =P

[1018peter]

Sandwich's amazing ability created by 4kids.

[MisterMaster389]

@1018peter

4Kids used Sandwhich!

It's not very effective...

[TheJesterGreen]

SANDWICHES DON'T ROLL!

[rath6789]

it looks like they just went on google images and put it over the rice ball

[4Dinatut]

this was Macdonald's evil plan!!! )) No rice- Only burgers!

[vjm3]

Maybe little kids wouldn't know outright what they were. They look like a cookie, but not really.

A sandwich and a cracker are more recognizable. I assume that's their logic.

[MisterMaster389]

@vjm3

I find hard to believe that no kid has ever eaten rice before...

[Bennyhillcat]

so much butthurt its astounding.

[Michael8414]

Well...obviously it's because they're americanising it for kids, since most little american kids don't know what riceballs are..

[MashedAvacado]

I'm American and I LOVE Asian food

[XxVash13xX]

4kids what won't they fuck up

[MultiJade]

anyway 4kids censor text ¿what the hel?

[sachaandsox]

you can see how badly its edited

[omgurazero]

C'mon people! We are Americans. Stupidity has revolved around us sincebefore the 80s, around the hippy years where weed was at its finest. I can see them editing the riceballs because it looks like a bag of that good stuff. What makes matters worse, we ship American cartoons across seas and they edit them making it cooler than ever. In other words, down to earth, we don't know how to handle reality like the way the can. That is the truth.

[missdeathknight13579]

NOOOO! Rice balls are foreign and therefore inappropriate for children! Seriously, Toonami is gone but 4Kids still exists?!?!? look at how they watered down an already pretty tame anime: "Tokyo Mew Mew." And no, it is NOT "Mew Mew Power"

[NimhShambler]

...........The cracker's not even well drawn. It looks out of place.

[PikachuMaiden]

Hm, something seems a little off about the cracker and sandwich and PBJ. Are you sure this is legitmately 4Kids censoring or did someone else put those things in there and then cried wolf? Sorry if anyone is offended by this comment.

[PikachuMaiden]

Actually in the original Kanto region they had rice balls...

[Graynumber]

I don't think it would be half as bad if it wasn't as lazily animated.

[Ash14187]

today i try to roll my sannwich and it faild

[Satoshi9801]

They could just call the rice balls rice cakes...

[ChartoonistWagner]

HOW THE FUCK DOES A SANDWICH ROLL DOWN A HILL AND NOT FALL APART

WHY DOES THE SANDWICH LOOK LIKE IT CAME FROM SOUTH PARK

WHY NOT A DONUT

WHY NOT A RICE BALL

[themightytyphlosion]

@ChartoonistWagner XD I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!!

[Mangaarmstrong1]

Ash's japanese voice kinda sounds like Edward Elric's voice from fma mabee hes the same voice actor or somthing....

I HOPE 4KIDS DOS'NT GET FMA!! Ed's metal arm would be a glove and Scarr just would put people to sleep (like most of the veiwers)

[TrunksTheMan1]

That fat kids voice in japanese is totally Goku's japanese voice actor

[JixGold]

@TrunksTheMan1 What's ironic is that the English voice of that fat kid sounds like Sean Schmmel (The current English voice of Goku).

[TrunksTheMan1]

@JixGold IKR...

[Happyt0fu]

@TrunksTheMan1 HOLY SHT IT iS

[thenightwolfess]

I'm still trying to understand how a sub sandwich rolls down the hill and doesn't fall apart

[joangura]

@thenightwolfess dont makes the perfect sense? xD

[Squeekicleave]

@thenightwolfess obviously it was glued together! Subway... eat fresh!

[DistantEclipse]

Well, the top comment already addressed what I said. >_>

[DistantEclipse]

They censored rice balls on One Piece too. As well as kanji. Do they just not want to expose kids to Japanese culture?

[coco34ize]

whats wrong with a rice ball? 4kids y u changen it?

[JCF091597oo]

Is it just me, or do 4kids really suck at drawing sandwiches?

[AnIndianNamedJones2]

@JCF091597oo don't forget crackers xD

[TheDJBrett12]

The only difference for the dub is DVD Ripped! AWESOMENESS! Love the video, but the Japanese version is better. Is it me, or is that guy in the first clip played by Masako Nozawa?

[Happyt0fu]

@TheDJBrett12 I think he is

[Hakuru15]

dear 4kids, you guys are pussies.

[TotallyLisaCartoons]

Maybe 4kids is allergic the riceballs...

[0640carlos]

@TotallyLisaCartoons So true...

[TotallyLisaCartoons]

@0640carlos

LOL

[FthFpsGamer97]

1:42 how to have a pokemon without problems...

2:14 i see what 4kids did here... D:<

[funny0anime0lover]

!.... Do they hate Japan or what. In every anime the mess up, there is NO Japanese ANYTHING!

[BadRottweiler]

they replace the good music to all the shows they edit with annoying cookie cutter crap

[mountaindew18able]

yea & when the do appear, they are jelly donuts, like in my 1st season box set, the episode Primeape Goes Bananas, Brock calls them jelly donuts! They dont even look like donuts!

I swear this is the reason most of America's kids are very close minded. Society doesnt want them to be versatile in the cultures of other places!

[Shadoboy]

Badly edited and completely deflying laws of physics.

[ROOKI3LINKX]

WHAT'S WRONG WITH RICEBALLS?

[Pikafan2132]

@ROOKI3LINKX 4kids has no balls to make children learn about the Japanese Culture.

[funnywithrandomness]

that guy from the beginning looks like choji from naruto.....

[dolphinsays]

why exactly did they remove the riceballs? who could that possibly offend that people are eating riceballs

[jettythesunfish]

I remember one episode that actually kept the rice ball and called it a rice ball. And guess what? It actually made me interested in eating one!

Seriously, did 4kids think people would throw a fit if they kept in rice balls? Why edit a Japanese anime if you're gonna strip out the culture from it?

[JmanRomania]

good job on the editing, those sandwiches really looked like they belonged there

[charmed4everfan]

ONIGIRI JA NAAAAI!!! <3

[Pokegirl24]

I was going to watch 4kids national anthem,but instead I was curious about what this was about.BEST CHOICE I EVER MADE!!!!

[londonbreksa]

GIMME BACK MY SANDWICH RIGHT NOW!!!

[lettuce246]

That was the most poorly edited food I've ever seen.

[IINesasta]

I don't see a problem with this, it's simply to make it more relatable to western audiences. If you're going to complain about this, you may as well complain that it's dubbed in English.

[Katanawa55]

They apparently changed it so that way little kids wouldnt be confused with foreign stuff btu they couldve kept it and just called them RICEBALLS. im sure even little kids know what RICEBALLS are. RIIIIIICE+BAAAAALLLL=RIIIIIIIC­CCCEEEBBBBAAALLLL

[politcalgamer]

You could argue that the edits made the scenes funnier.

[ImmaSSJ4Gogeta]

Well ya know, we don't want our kids to be cultured or anything...

Man, America pisses me off.

[727Roxas]

@ImmaSSJ4Gogeta And people like you who judge an entire country by one entertainment company piss me off. Yes, I realize that there are other examples, but being a person who doesn't make stupid generalizations, I would like to tell you: Shut the fuck up.

[DoomsdayOdd]

@727Roxas I would like to tell you that I happen to live in america.

this is perhaps the most tame ive ever seen this country's capacity for stupid.

[ImmaSSJ4Gogeta]

@727Roxas Actually, America isn't a country, its two continents, North and South America.

And I happen to live in the United States of America, which resides in North America.

So being a person who lives in this godforsaken country to whom I'm complaining about, I would like to tell YOU: No U

[DinerSals]

@ImmaSSJ4Gogeta:

Apparently America's a terrible place to live because a animation studio cuts out rice balls.

Fucking nice.

[ImmaSSJ4Gogeta]

@DinerSals yep

[KawaiiLink]

@DinerSals Actually, to be more precise, it's a terrible place to live because animation studios edit and censor things beyond recognition and for no good reason.

There's also the crap government, bad economy, widespread ignorance, ever-present corruption and scandal, huge "us v. them" mentality, and people who try to get their own religious beliefs passed as laws.

But that's why I hope to leave this country after high school.

[DinerSals]

@KawaiiLink:

"Blah, blah, blah, US sucks and I wanna go to places I know little about"

Yeah, I just summarized your comment in one sentence. Nice.

[KawaiiLink]

@DinerSals Actually, you didn't. All you did was be incredibly rude when I tried to explain a mindset a good number of people have. So, to use your own words, fucking nice.

Also; You assume I don't know much about the places I hope to go. Just for the record, I have done, am doing, and will do more research on the places I want to go before actually buying a plane ticket. Good job at making assumptions about people :)

[DinerSals]

@KawaiiLink:

"Good job at making assumptions about people :)"

The fucking hypocrisy...

[KawaiiLink]

@DinerSals All right, I'll bite. When, exactly, did I make an assumption about you? Because the only thing I've actually said about you was that you were being incredibly rude. Aside from that, it's been my opinions about the United States and how much research I've done on other countries.

[TheClairvoyant05]

@KawaiiLink I'm pretty sure he's just intentionally trolling you at this point! Don't feed the trolls! He's entitled to his silly generalizations and random aggression, the best thing you can do is ignore him and hope he shuts up all together!

[KawaiiLink]

@TheClairvoyant05 True. But at this point, I get the feeling he's trolled himself into a corner. If his lack of response so far is any indicator, he's realized that there's nothing left he can say to help his case and has abandoned the argument altogether xD

At any rate, unless he says something I deem interesting, I'll be taking your advice ^_^

[FlashX212]

@ImmaSSJ4Gogeta dont blame american viewers, blame 4kids........

[ImmaSSJ4Gogeta]

@FlashX212 I blame both.

[FlashX212]

@ImmaSSJ4Gogeta The Only thing that can beat gogeta is Galactus.........

[Lifeless9619]

@ImmaSSJ4Gogeta Dont hate the country mate, hate the people =D

[DarkWindu7]

sanvich makes me big and strong

[DrYimmy78]

Oh that munchlax

[AluminumTiki]

Did that cracker just grow in size? Looks a lot bigger in1:24.

[DarkKuroPtera]

Thinking about it, I guess 4kids was too afraid to put the rice ball in.

I guess you can say that 4kids just...

*puts on glasses*

Didn't have the balls.

YEAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

[FearTheCutelyDeadOne]

It's simple: 4Kids hates Japanese culture.

[Awgez24]

It makes sense. Why would Americans be eating rice balls.

[WREQUIEM]

@Awgez24 ...they're not american

[DarkMagicianGirl247]

They edit riceballs cuz American kids prouably never heard of them

[DarkKuroPtera]

@DarkMagicianGirl247

Solution; in the show, say its a riceball.

[Phishstrangler]

Don't forget the maple syrup!

[yaklin104]

they could have at least make the sandwich roll as it was going down the hill...

[flaqui62]

First Clip: ash said what's that not who's that XD

[minifig2401]

I think they wanted to make team rocket seem more pathetic with a cracker

[l1meyman]

am I wrong, but I kinda remember rice balls being in the first gen pokemon episodes...I don't know if they called them such, however.

[ShimmerBlueRose]

Rice rice baby

[xBluegamerx]

Yes, sandwich's can roll.

[9CrystalDragon2]

I wonder what explanation they give for how the sandwiches stay together when they're dropped >>

[gigawarman12]

The sandwiches and the cracker are so horribly drawn, it makes me sick.

[DarkMatter500]

Anyone else but me feel that the Sandwich part the guy talking sounds familiar? :/

[beutifly199]

@DarkMatter500 Choji from Naruto? :3

[Ash14187]

how u can tell it edit ^^; when u first saw it

and 4kids did a epic fail on the sandwich



[yotsubafanfan]

0:19

Dude, they did such a bad job editing that giant sandwich you could still see part of the riceball.

[WXKFA]

"Children in America don't know what that white thing is, snow?" is the stupidest argument I've ever heard. My two cents: Ash clearly states in japanese dub: "What is that? Woah, what a giant rice ball." Now take notes: At first he doesn't know what it is and then after he realises what it is he states it loud and clear. Could it be that Americans don't know what rice is? I don't think so.

[bunnybunchan]

Japanese, not Chinese. ._.

[shirochanbleach]

A riceball versus a gram cracker.... HAHAHA!!! XD

[MasterElevator]

What episode is the last one? With the Warturtle and Ivisour

[kutlessrocker23]

Cause, you know, it's easier to photoshop a sandwich over a riceball than it is to say what a riceball is. *rolls eyes*

[ShujinkoBlack]

Agh.. that's just.. fucking.. AWFUL. YOU CAN SEE HOW TERRIBLY IT'S EDITED. Specially that peanut butter and jelly sandwich.. just..
