At this point, they pretty much never cut anything (and you can get uncut DBZ 
and the like now too). At most, it would be cut for broadcast. They sometimes do 
English versions of the songs for the opening and closing credits, but more 
often than not they don't (and when they do, they actually do a pretty good job 
- they certainly don't change what the music is in either case).

They did do more editing in the past, but I think that it's been several years 
since they really did that on anything. They've come a long way since they did 
DBZ.
