Background[]
English dub changes[]
- The first half of the episode remains to have no cut footage, until the "we are back" eye-catch, where it is shortened slightly.
- When the gate card activates, the scene is sped up slightly and Drago crushed Siege's Spear which was cut from the English. Although it was still present in the flashback by Rikimaru.
- Drago lecturing Dan is a lot longer in the original, as well as Dan telling Drago off. They were both shortened for time.
