One Piece in Spain

Anime
The Spanish dub of One Piece premiered on the channel Telecinco and the channel formally known as Fox Kids España (later known as Jetix España and now as Disney XD España) from 2003 to 2008 and was dubbed by Arait Multimedia. At March 2011 it started airing at the channel Boing and keeps airing there until today. The dub has aired up to episode 195, and as of April 2011, 68 new episodes are being dubbed.

History:
When the show first aired on Telecinco, it received very little censorship, but made some changes in dialogue (such as renaming Luffy's attacks into Spanish puns). But as the dub progressed into the Baroque Works Saga, blood was digitally erased (only the good guy's blood) and scenes were cut.

The Spanish dub was similar to the Korean dub in that they wanted to make the show more localized for viewer, so as a result most Japanese (and English) text was digitally erased and written in Spanish (the art matches the Japanese very well in most cases).

All of the openings and some of the endings (see below) were dubbed into Spanish. However, Telecinco only received the rights to episodes 1-102 before Jetix picked up the reigns by airing episodes 103-195. These episodes were 100% uncut visual-wise and did not have text translated to Spanish (however the Openings and Endings were still dubbed), the reason why texts are not translated as usual was because they did ran out time.

On March 7, 2011, One Piece was picked up by the Turner owned Boing Channel, and has recieved higher ratings than most of the programming on the channel. Arait Multimedia had received up to episode 400 and is currently dubbing more episodes as April 2011, until episode 263. The new episodes (until 263) are scheduled to air in September 2011.

 * Tsumegeri Guards are called Tropa Sumeregi (Tsumeregi Troup). It's curious that the narrator says the name right calling them "Tsumegeri", but all the other characters call them "Tsumeregi".
 * Daz Bones is known as El Golpeador (The Walloper) instead of "The Killer".
 * Zenny's name is written as "Zeny". This, however, only happens in one episode, so it's possible it's just an error.
 * Donquixote Doflamingo is called Donquijote Doflamingo, making more obvious the reference on his name.
 * Enel is called Ener.
 * Marley Brothers are called Hermanos Murray (Murray Brothers).
 * Hot Wind Marines are called Tropa 55 (Troop 55), Tropa 55, la Compañía de los Venaos.

 * Hamburg, Pickles and Big Pan have their names translated to "Hamburguesa", "Pepinillo" and "Panecillo" respectively, so the joke on their names is still present.

 * The Rumble Balls are called Píldoras Reactivas (Reactive Pills).
 * The Clima Tact is called Ataque Climático (Climatic Attack).
 * In Episode 151, the World Government is called "Gobierno Central" (Central Government). Since it's not ever mentioned again, it's unknown if that name will keep in future episodes of the dub.
 * Shanks' epithet is El Rojo (The Red one) instead of Red-Haired.
 * Davy Back Fight is translated as "Lucha o vuelve con Davy" (Fight or Return with Davy).

Translation Errors:

 * Sometimes during the Arabasta saga, the Grandline was called Gran Índigo. However, this was the name they gave to the All Blue, so when that happens it just brings confusion. This happens again during the G-8 Arc. Not much after it's airing, Jaime Roca himself said he though Gran Índigo was the land between Loguetown and Reverse Mountain.
 * In the Warship Island arc, Nelson Royale is said to be an admiral, but he is a commodore.
 * Chopper's voice actor had several vocal registers: one high for his Brain Point and other deeper for most of his other transformations. The problem is that since Episode 122, both voices mix sometimes, resulting on a Brain Point Chopper with deep voice.
 * In Episode 192 Enel says his fruit is "Rogia" type instead of "Logia". However, since the therm has never been said again, it's still unkown if it's a change of just a mislead.
 * In Episode 209, Capote's Fishman Karate is mistakenly translated as "Kárate Pescador", what in English would mean "Fisherman Karate".

Censorship/Edits:

 * Most text was translated into Spanish in episodes 1-102.
 * Blood was erased from good characters in episodes 52-102.
 * Usopp's name was changed to Usuff and became an Iberian Muslim that said "Allah" frequently.
 * Baroque Works members, Gan Fall and Mihawk talk in Old Castilian, and Shandora citizens talk in an Indian-like dialect.
 * Alabasta citizens have an Arabian accent.
 * Laffitte has French accent.
 * When a Den-Den Mushi is being used, the voice that sounds is the snail's one, so it doesn't matter who uses it, it'll be always sound the same robotic-like voice.
 * In Episode 85, the scene where Hiluluk is shown naked is censored, showing a close-up of his face instead.
 * In Episode 120, the Tsumegeri Guards "aument the presion of the water inside their bodies" instead of "drinking the Hero Water". This may be due to a bad translation.
 * Carue (Calú) has his own spanish voice actor: Leopoldo Ballesteros, who also is the voice actor of Shanks.
 * Most of the animals have their own spanish voice actors too, like Stronger.
 * Marley Brothers have Italian accent.

Openings and Endings:
As most of the dubs, openings keep the same video & music, but the songs are translated, and the lyrics differ greatly from the original, being totally different. Sometimes, even some arrangements change, in both openings and endings. Most of the songs are dubbed by Diana Torres, Nami's voice actor.

All the Openings that have been dubbed into Spanish: Most of the Endings were dubbed into Spanish, however endings 4, 5, 10, 11, 12 were only partially aired and endings 3 didn't air at all. There is no explantion for this bizarre occurance. At Boing Channel's broadcast, the endings are not airing, so presumably ending 13 and futher aren't and won't be dubbed.
