Toonami promos made the Saban Dub of DBZ seem so much more intense than it actually was, closer in line with the original tone of the series before Saban had to lighten the series up to allow it to be aired in syndication. Nappa annihilates a city. The Saban Dub quickly adds a line to explain that nobody was harmed in the explosion and they all evacuated in time. Toonami just played the clip without comment.

Me and my brother would get home around 3 to 4 pm, run off the bus, sometimes hit the corner store up the street before going home and load up on snacks in preparation for DBZ, Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon, Ronin Warriors. It was great times to be a kid then. The early 2000's literately was the last generation of the old world before phones and social media blew up. We still played manhunt and went outside back then with all the neighborhood kids. Sometimes we didn't even watch Toonami if they were reruns.
