One Piece in the Middle East

The United Arab Emirates is the only country to have an Arabic dub of One Piece. It is televised in Abu Dhabi and Dubai on the Space Power Channel. There is censorship in this dub, however it is rather strange and inconsistant. Blood and violence is okay sometimes, and other times it's not. It would seem as if the dub did not want the episode duration to vary due to these cuts, so they use freeze frames frequently or slow down and reverse footage. Most editing is done to female characters such as Nami, due to clevage or exposed skin. When possible, they will cut out the scene where the clevage is shown and freeze frame to another character. There are a couple of instances where shirts were drawn on the female characters because they couldn't be edited out. The original music score is kept, however there is a new opening sequence and there were a couple of episodes where a new BGM score was placed beneath the next episode preview.
