Background Information
There are certain differences between some of the original and Canadian dubbed episodes.

Episode 14 Stags' Challenge - (as well as 39) ends with Stags laughing psychotically in the Japanese version. Both times, it was toned down in the dub.

Episode 18 Unmasked - in Japanese, the song Aqune hums is the second ending theme, Koi no Keshiki.

Episode 21 Because I'm a Warrior - Corona wonders originally who her love will be. In the dub, she wonders who her battle partner will be.

Episode 27 Fateful Decision - Grasshop came to the conclusion that his wife was cheating on him with an Insector captain after seeing them hug. In the dub, he decides this because he's in their house.

Episode 33 Grasshop's Misfortune - a scene was cut from the dub of Scarab threatening Sparkle with a sword and then offering it to Grasshop.

Episode 34 Reunions - was also altered quite a bit. In the Japanese version, after Hunter had a nightmare about his inability to be a hero, Aqune comforts him over this, telling him that she thinks he'll be a fine hero. In the dub, the two go on to talk about promises they made to each other. Hunter would promise to become a hero, and Aqune promised never to wear a mask again. Later on in the episode, in the english version, Aqune at first refuses to give the Oracle Keys to Buguese in order to protect them, but with Corona in danger she agrees with Hunter and does so. In the Japanese version, she states that she needs to go back to Buguese, and is much less reluctant.

Episode 38 The Confrontation - a scene of Buguese hitting Illuma was cut.

Episode 42 Bad Omens - footage of the Spider Riders and some Arachnan soldiers reacting to the fading sun was cut.

Episode 49 Welcome Back - footage of some people reacting to the changes after Mantid's rise to power is cut.

Episode 52 Arachna Power - originally, Quake asks Hunter whether he'll choose Corona or Aqune (presumably as his love.) In the dub, he asks who he'll choose as his battle partner.
