Ok something I thought about was the What if Nicktoons had shown The Final Chapters of Kai back in 2015. Would the version shown have been the Condensed Version shown in Japan, or would it have been the full version? Reasons for it being the condensed version would have been quicker product translation as well as the fight between Videl & Spopovich which had to be censored when DBZ showed on Cartoon Network back in the day.

The 2nd reason would have resulted in Nicktoons getting its own episode count if the full version was used & censored much like what happened with Z Season 1. However even with the Japanese Episode Count used Nicktoons may have still used censorship. If needed to replace entire scenes, Nicktoons would have still had the full version to draw from. There would also have been the slim chance that Nicktoons would have left the series mostly intact, filtering out swear words & removing half the blood.

Of course if Nicktoons did show the series I would have preferred it roughly being the Japanese Version with edits here & there. I think it would have been interesting if Nicktoons actually had started showing Final Chapters in late 2014 for the sake of comparing it to the full version that Toonami would start showing in 2017. Of course we all know that in 2014 Nicktoons stopped really caring about Shonen Anime, & in 2017 has almost entirely abandoned these series. What do you think would have happened if Majin Buu Saga aired on Nicktoons in 2015?
