| Toei Animation announced that more than one background musics of Dragon Ball Kai were suspected to infringe the copyrights of third parties. They have already replaced those musics with the original BGMs of Dragon Ball Z. Toei Animation had assigned the music of Dragon Ball Kai to Yamamoto Kenji instead of Kikuchi Shunsuke. Yamamoto Kenji's other musics have also been suspected to be plagiarized works. (ref. niconico video) Source: Toei Animation (PDF file) |

| this Plagiarisms thing is becoming a big issue day by day |
| This was unexpected... well you cant perceive human factor with 100% accuracy, guess that there are fools like this. They at least make us enjoy life more, when it comes to enjoying different personalities of people, that is. |
| More trouble for Toei... |
| Pay the $1 billion dollars then |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| lol wow. they couldn't just use their original stuff and work them up a bit? total fail here. |
| Well, that's a shame. I really liked Kai's soundtrack, but I suppose it can't be helped. It will be strange to have the whole OST reverted back to Z's, even if it's only for the last few episodes. |
 |
| And this isn't fully Toei's fault. Seems like when it rains it pours. This one is certainly a more grave charge than the idiotic Saint Seiya patent infringement. |
 |
| I thought that every anime soundtrack was stolen from paying homage to another work. Usually composers are not paid generously and have tight deadlines for creating music.... which is often why you hear parts of classical works (whose copyrights have expired) or blatant style/melody imitations of other artists. Even most of the truly original artists tend to mimic the same "sound" as their previous works with variation in melody. It's safer and more profitable. At least 95% of the music you hear is heavily influenced by or plagiarized from another work.... since actual originality puts so much pressure on time and budget. I'm not saying that's an excuse, but that immense pressure tends to lead artists down the path of theft..... the same way a student with only a few hours to write a report might try to grab excerpts from wikipedia. |
 I am a banana. |
| Ha. So the plagiarism issue is with Dragon Ball and not Saint Seiya. Cool |
 |
| Ha. So they plagiarised Dragon Ball instead of Saint Seiya. LOL |
| |
| Wow, that's just sad... but personally, I love the fact that, instead of plagiarizing music from some obscure source (thus increasing the possibilities that he would get away with it), he was just like "Screw that, I am going to steal songs from Avatar and Terminator Salvation. Clearly, no one will notice it!" |
| "I know about people who talk about suffering for the common good. It's never bloody them! When you hear a man shouting "Forward, brave comrades!" you'll see he's the one behind the bloody big rock and the one wearing the only really arrow-proof helmet!" -- Rincewind gives a speech on politics. (Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times) |
| this just gets worse and worse |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| DB kai plagiarizing DBZ |
| Japa Stole my music! One of them, ara "War" from Avatar. |
 |
| so is this the main reaon why i'm hearing rumours of Kai not even going past the cell arc? |

supermegasonic said: Nope. It's not going past Cell arc because Toriko is confirmed as taking Kai's timeslot for the spring season.so is this the main reaon why i'm hearing rumours of Kai not even going past the cell arc? |

| Who gives a crap?! You can't make music these days without taking something from something else. So what if he "plagiarized." Goddamn record industries. The composer did absolutely nothing wrong. |
jix said: now i think Toei really did go cheap on making Dragon Ball Kai not newly animated, not showing the buu arc... One reason they might have cut the Buu part is that Toriyama had clearly gotten tired of the series by then and it devolved into outright gag manga. There's a pretty good "this series is over" bit at the end of the Cell part, anyway, so good riddance. |
| And the world keeps on spinning. |
 |
| We don't give a fuck about plagiarisms, we want the last arc ! |
 |
| Oh gaaaaawd. Does this mean it's going to be done......AGAIN? |
| What? Plagiarism on DBZ Kai? NOT GOOD! Mr-Guts said: this Plagiarisms thing is becoming a big issue day by day Speaking about plagiarisms... I think things are going too far: SPACE BLACK KNIGHT!!! Oh yeah! CHARMURO FTW (Sarcasm Mode)!!! Where Gundam is on pure ACID! In a So Bad It's Good show of nonsense. (gag dubbed though) LOOK! Even Marvel villains are involved as well. Not only did they manage to plagiarize Gundam, but also Marvel as well. Anything added??? And hello to Space Thunder Kids for your amusement to the point of turning it into another wonderful cringe fest. ENJOY CRINGING TO THE FULLEST!  ...  |
