This boxset contains the Garlic Jr. Saga, Trunks Saga and the Androids Saga. Unlike earlier season box sets, this set does not feature extensive redubbing. Some minor changes do exist, however, such as the removal of the voice effect given to Android 19. Kyle Hebert continues to redub Dale Kelly as the narrator and Mark Britten as the Ox King. Vegeta's short appearances in the Garlic Jr. Saga have also been redubbed. In addition, characters such as Spice, Mustard, and Maron have been redubbed with new voice actors (Spice went from Bart Myer to J Michael Tatum, Mustard went from Chuck Huber to Brandon Potter, and Maron went from Daphne Gere to Leah Clark respectively). Puar gets a redub in "The Heavens Tremble". Also the pitch of the aliens in Vegeta's scenes are the original recorded lines unedited while the original dub had high pitch voices. The doctor on Planet Cold is redubbed by Chris Cason in place of Chuck Huber form the original (also Christopher Sabat did the doctor's two lines once Frieza is fully rebuilt originally but Cason also redubbed those). Some of the civilians in "The Androids Appear" are given redubs such as the blonde mustached man who Android 19 kills, going from Mike Wiebe in the former to Eric Vale in the latter, and the two office workers that Yamcha questions with Wiebe and Vale's original performances being redone by Anthony Bowling and David Trosko respectively. One of Krillin's lines in the aforementioned episode has a different take used as is one of Gohan's. The latter's line asking Yajirobe if he's okay after his skycar is destroyed is replaced with "Hey mister, are you okay?" despite that dialogue already appearing in "Goku's Ordeal". Bizarrely, Gohan can be heard saying "Way to go, dad!" during the early stages of Goku's fight with #19 despite not Gohan not having arrived to the battle then. There are some musical changes for the 2.0 audio track, containing the English Dub with the Faulconer Productions score. For example, in Episode 118 of the Trunks Saga, when Gohan rebelled against Mr. Shu, his mentor for that filler episode, a more goofy tune played rather than more serious music playing like it did in the Original FUNimation Dub found on the Single DVD/VHS as well as the original Cartoon Network Broadcast. Like Season 3 (and for all upcoming Seasons for the Remastered "Orange Bricks" DVD Sets) there are sound effects removed, such as Trunks landing in Episode 119 having a "BANG" sound effect when he lands in the Original Dub mix, as well as that same sound effect playing a few times after that to match the Faulconer Productions music track "Trunks Appears". Vegeta turning Super Saiyan in Episode 129 also has a sound effect when his hair turns Golden, which also has been lost. It's necessary to point out that only sound effects originally added by the dub have been removed, so it has no missing sound effects that the Japanese version has. Mark Britten is retained as Korin in the Garlic Jr. Saga despite having been mostly replaced by Chris Sabat in the series. One of Chi-Chi's lines in "Goku's Special Technique" is voice matched by Lydia Mackay in place of her usual actress Cynthia Cranz due to Cranz not being available for recording it. It is retained for the remastered release. Master Roshi's story on how Goku defeated the Red Ribbon Army in "Double Trouble for Goku" is left unaltered including mistakes such as Mercenary Tao still being called "General Tao" and Dr. Gero still being said to have masterminded the entire army. Commander Red, Staff Officer Black, and Major Metallitron's voices are still voiced by Mike Wiebe, Phillip Wilburn, and Chris Sabat respectively instead of having Josh Martin, Sabat, and Chris Rager redub them from the previous series.
