Reverts localized character dialogue back to the original Japanese script translations, restoring intended character personalities and comedic moments.
While this seems minor in a game about aliens shooting energy beams, it creates a dissonance in tone. Dragon Ball has always walked a fine line between goofy adventure and gritty martial arts violence. The early arcs of Dragon Ball , particularly the Red Ribbon Army saga, heavily featured guns.
