The last half-hour of the film was where I had the problem occurring and only assumed it was a fault in the pitch of the audio/picture if it was time-compressed a bit (the movie lasting roughly 120 minutes so I assume VIZ wanted to squeeze in promos in that fashion than to run out of tape).

Actually when I dubbed the Viz audio over the Japanese VHS version, it never went out of synch. It pretty much ran fine the whole way to the end of the film. Maybe it might have to do with the older Viz and Japanese VHS versions being done on analog transferring equipment and the newer Korean/Japanese DVD master being done with digital equipment.
Unfortunately, my old VHS composite of the Viz dub over a Japanese VHS looks overly dark when compared to the DVD version. Japan used different IRE settings on their analog videos than the US did.
Unfortunately, Windows has been acting strange with me and I'm having trouble playing my timed edit. I'm sending bkev my rip of the Viz dub that isn't timed to the DVD video. I've got other things to do like school and work and can't spend time on the project now. You guys can work on it without me. Sorry about that.
