5. Yusuke’s “And jerk number three! Looks like we’re featuring the old energy javelin.” changed to “Yeah, yeah! You swing right, I go left. Why are you still trying this crap?” (Wow, they actually allowed the word “crap” when it wasn’t even in the script before editing)
6. Koto’s “Absolutely amazing! Suddenly wonder boy Yusuke is taking on the whole team by himself.” changed to “What’s the deal? Yusuke gets us all excited with his spirit gun threat and now piddling around and letting them attack?”

11. Yusuke’s “Hey! Asshole!” changed to “Hey! Ichigaki!” as he confront the doctor.
12. NOT AN EDIT – Dr. Ichigaki pulling out a syringe and injecting himself with mutigen left in. (I know it’s important to the story, but I find it strange considering Toonami’s attitude towards drugs)

Argh! What is are the censors thinking? Why did they completely rewrite the first conflict in this episode when they didn’t have to? This fight is basically a recap of the fight in the previous episode. And the fact that they allowed a taboo word, like “crap”, into this episode when it wasn’t originally there is even more confusing. I guess they tried to make it look like a continuation of the fight, and not just a replay of what was already covered. And I guess that they also haven’t heard of the saying, “If it aint broke, don’t fix it.”
The other big surprise was when Dr. Ichigaki pulled out a syringe and injected himself with mutigen. Especially considering the Toonami editing standard of eliminating most references to drugs, even when they show drugs in a bad light.
