Nope. 4kids is well known for censoring everything it gets ahold of to take out anything American parents are likely to deem unsuitable, well, for kids. Many fans have taken umbrage at them removing blood, beer, and guns (though One Piece was allowed to have them changed into Super Soaker-looking things rather than having goons run around with invisible guns as in their earlier Yu-Gi-Oh dub); I personally find their changes more endearing.

Even I sometimes go a bit overboard on this, such as censoring text (Japanese or English) into blank signs, skipping episodes so they can add the cute mascot character to a show's roster sooner, and lightening the skin of characters that look ethnic.
