Pilot Dubs[]
Prior to 4Kids' licensing of the anime, at least three English-dubbed pilots were produced for Toei Animation.[1] Two of these were produced by Ocean Productions (one of which was done by their budget studio Bluewater Studios[2]), while the third was produced by Funimation. The Ocean Productions in-house version included a unique dub of We Are! and Hanna-Barbera-esque sound effects.[1]
The Funimation version covered Episode 3, the Ocean Productions version covered Episode 55, and the Bluewater Studios version covered Episode 18.
Likely due to being early translations, the pilot dubs include changes not present in any later translations of One Piece.[1]
- In the Funimation version:
- Koby is renamed to "Korby".
- Captain Morgan is renamed "Colonel Morgan".
- Luffy's name is pronounced "Luh-ffy".
- Devil Fruits are referred to as "Gum-Gum Fruits".
- In the Ocean Productions version:
- Apis' name is spelled "Apy's".
- In the Bluewater Studios version:
- Luffy's name is pronounced "Luh-ffy" (with the exception of one "Luffy").
- Usopp's name is pronounced "Yusopp".
- In an unknown version:
- Gomu Gomu no Pistol is renamed to "Rubber Arm Go".
