Mage unless you own the uncut boxed set then this question is not aimed at you in the slightest. I'm well aware the Toonami version constantly states Believe it the question is reguarding the uncut subs as well as if there is a uncut dub track included.Originally Posted by mage
Mage was right. "Beleive it" was the English replacement for "Dattebayo" (which IS said in the original dialogue) and not for "That is my way of the ninja". "Beleive it" is not an edit, it's a translation.
What Darthender was saying is that the subs use the English translations for Japanese terms like "dattebayo" or the technique names. The episodes and dialogue themselves are unedited.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Heh, so I've still got to put up with the "EVIL EYE" nonsense? Or, even better, the "VALENTINE ATTACK." Oh well, Viz was good at raping the manga in that manner...
lol, that was JUST the manga. Viz has been pretty awesome about coming up with good/relevant/faithful attack translations in the dub (for example, "Shadow Clone Jutsu" which is an almost direct translation of "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" instead of "Art of the Doppleganger" like they use in the manga). But again, those are just matters of translation, not of editting.

There's definatly only one set of subtitles. For the uncut version.
When I say he says "Believe it" less, I mean, I watched the dub on TV, and the dub on the uncut DVDs doesn't seem to say it as much.
As has been mentioned, it's supposed to represent "dattebayo". But Naruto say's "dattebayo" every other sentence. On the DVDs, he sometimes goes entire episodes without saying "believe it!".
Those are the dubs. As far as the subs concerned, he neither says "dattebayo" OR "believe it!" in the subs on the disc. "dattebayo" is simply ignored in the translations in the subs. Pretty much exactly like all fansubbers have been doing it.
As far as "That's my way of the ninja" line is concerned, Naruto doesn't even use that line for the first time till the 3rd round of the Chuunin exam. So it's not in this set.
And what Xan says about the attacks is right.
They say things like "Replacement Jutsu" and thankfully actually use "Sharingan" and "Genin" and "Hokage".

Fair enough I certainly haven't watched the subs of the first 13 episodes in forever and I definatly don't remember him saying "Believe it" every other sentence at any point in the series.
Side note this box set is available significantly cheaper with free S&H for the same version here.

While the regular version is only $33.26 as opposed to Amazons $36.99 the special edition is much cheaper listed for $46.57 instead of $60.99. atleast for any looking to buy this.
Basically, I'll make a little chart.
1. Original Voice
2. Fansubs
3. American Dub(TV and DVD)
4. Subs on Uncut DVD
1. Says Dattebayo after every other sentence.
2. Nothing. phase is simply ignored.
3. Occasionally says "Believe it!" where Dattebayo is used.
4. Nothing. Phrase is ignored.
1. Attack names are completely in japanese(obviously)(ex. Kage bunshin no jitsu)
2. Attacks vary based on sub from completely english to completely japanese(ex. Shadow Replication Technique to Kage bunshin no jitsu)
3. First part of attack is translated, ending in Jutsu(ex. Shadow Clone Jutsu)
4. Same as 3.
Hope that makes things easy.
