Like what, for example?

Ever watch DBZ Kai on Nicktoons? There were a few "stupid" edits on that, but they generally left things as-is, only adding flashes when punches and kicks connected and whatnot. Kai itself was edited from the original series (as I'm sure you know), and even the further-edited Kai doesn't really take away from the viewing experience.

Yeah, Nicktoons did show an edited version of Kai that kept in what was going on but edited what was shown.

Though I was asking about a specific example of how Ruby and Norman father-son "talk" itself could be altered if only a bit. If possible...

Oh, I see. Well, it's been a long time since I've read that particular part of the manga. I'll see what I can dig up.

Ruby vs Norman is interesting to say the least. Maybe they will turn it into a glare-fest.

No, can't see it.

What happens with Ruby vs Norman?
I've never read the Ruby/Sapphire Chapters (yet)

@wizdom28;

Norman and Ruby get into a very violent, physical fight starting with an incident where Norman throws Ruby down a set of stairs.

Now that I think of it, I think editing any of that would kind of detract from Ruby and Norman's relationship though I can see why they would (not how they would edit it, but why) given that it's child abuse and that might be an iffy subject. It'll be interesting to see how it's handled, for sure.

Oh ok thanks for the info
Do you think that's the worse of the chapters to deal with?

Well, iirc, the final showdown in the last chapters had

character deaths, though since they were temporary, I don't see why there would be need for editing there.

Looks like Vol. 15 will be getting a different cover, one that does not feature the first seven Dex holders.

But who cares? IT'S COMING!!!!!

I think it makes more sense considering the only reason the other Dex holders were on the cover for the original volume was because it contained the ending to the G/S/C arc. Since they included the finale in volume fourteen, it wouldn't make sense to include them in the cover. Plus, I think it looks really nice and I'm more excited that we're finally getting it. I still wish that they would have continued with volume fifteen when they started D/P/Pl volumes, especially when they're still going to release the small volumes for B/W, but it's better late than never as they say.

RS was the first saga I read, and it's still my favorite (or maybe DP is, depending on how it ends)

I'm glad it's getting an official western release.

Lookie what Viz Media just Tweeted:

I also love this:

"Look what arrived from the printer. You jelly...or should I say you Jellicent?"

Still, it's only a matter of time until we see how the Ruby and Norman's family squabble makes it to U.S. shores if at all. We'll be in for surprise. Question is... will it be good or bad. After all...

That was a pretty cool tweet and the picture itself is so awesome. I've already pre-ordered my copy and I'm eager to read the start of the R/S arc again.

I'll put my pre-order in when I next get paid, which should be next week. I've never read RS before, but I've heard good things about it (and DPt is kinda meh).
