Is there a Dragon Ball Z thread? If not

Yeah, but Toriyama did have a large hand in its creation. In fact, he made it canon by drawing Frieza have a two-panel flashback about a Saiyan (Bardock) who had the balls to oppose him.

Oh yeah howā€™d I forget about that. . . .wasnā€™t that the only one one he ever did that for. . .?

They re-released DVDs for season 1 and 2. You should check it out.

During the Android Saga, he also did a short manga version of ā€˜History of Trunks,ā€™ where Trunks was already a Super Saiyan and I believe Gohan was missing his arm, as well. Gohan dies much like in the animated version, but obviously, his death didnā€™t trigger Trunksā€™s first SS transformation, because he was already one.

EDIT That OP/DBZ crossover was originally aired in Japan, aboard the Going Merry replica, which features souvenir shops and, of course a theater. Heh, even Goku couldnā€™t lay a hand on Enel, which shows how broken Logia Devil Fruit users are (unless you find their weakness).

I saw them in stores already, with season 2 having vegeta on the cover? ive heard the new dubbing in those dvds, i hated it. Is there any way to watch those uncut with the original first dubbing? if not, does anyone know where all the episodes are with the Og dubs? uncut or not.

Goku gets older by the end of DB and marries Chi Chi at the end of the series- thereā€™s some filler episodes at the end before DBZ starts of some adventures they have, or something. Dragon Ball was like 160-something (?) eidpsodes.

DB DVDs I have seem pretty much censored, though the dub has some censorship/dialogue changesā€¦you could just put on the subtitles, though. DBZ had an uncut DVD version release, though I donā€™t know if thatā€™s the same as the more recent full-season DVD releases.

edit: ah, nevermind. If youā€™re looking for uncut + OG voices, I think youā€™re SOL.

Right. Goku is 16 or so when he marries Chi Chi, and 21 or so when he brings Gohan to visit Kame House. DB is 168 episodes, if memory serves, and DBZ is 291.

Ryo Horikawa will always be Vegeta, but I have a soft spot for Brian Drummond. He was fucking weird.

ā€œShucksā€¦ Moby Dick.ā€

Rhio, remember when I mentioned that Trunks had a special theme for his first Super Saiyan transformation in the last DBZ thread that was made? Well, I found a clip from the Spanish version where you can hear it! I believe the name of the song is ā€˜Battle Power Unlimitedā€™ and it starts at 2:17.

Iā€™ve looked everywhere for that damn song and I canā€™t find it!

Okay, a name! Finally, I have something to go onā€¦letā€™s seeā€¦uh, I have ā€œBattle POINT Unlimitedā€ in my dbz folder. Here you go.

You kick ass, for hooking me up! I LOVE the '80s synth-rock in this one and it worked very well with the scene in the anime!

No prob. nice guy pose :tup: :wgrin:

Itā€™s the last arc of DB, the Ma Junior Saga.

Goku barely defeats Piccolo Daimao, who spits out an egg offspring before exploding. Goku goes to Kamiā€™s Lookout to train, at which point heā€™s still a kid. There are a few ā€œeverybodyā€™s trainingā€ episodes, then they jump 3 years into the future for the Tenkaichi Budokai.

All the DB cast has assembled - Roshi, Bulma, Tenshinhan and Chaozu, and Yamucha (who now has his face scars, but its not explained how or why). Everyone is worried that Goku wonā€™t make it by the deadline. Then some little girl loses her balloon, and Bulma is trying to grab it out of a tree until Goku (who is now in adult form) grabs it for her. Everyone is like ā€œWho the hell are you?ā€ (Goku is wearing a turban and some funky clothes), and Gokuā€™s just like ā€œItā€™s me guys!ā€ Then he takes off the turban, and everyoneā€™s like ā€œWaitā€¦Goku?? ā€¦WHAT THE FU-!ā€

After the tournament ends, Goku runs off with Chi Chi, and thereā€™s a filler arc where the two of them have to rescue The Ox King and Chi Chiā€™s Wedding Dress from Fire Mountain. They do so, get married, and that leads into DBZ.

Goku vs. Majunior was one of the best battles in anything Dragonball! I wish people actually cared about sharing more DB eps, rather than just DBZ or DBGT!

EDIT Is that Bobby Brown in you av, dude?

Can someone give me a good explaination of the cell android saga?
Iā€™m still confused after 5 years.

i like the fight between krillin, goku vs general blue under the sea caveā€¦its funny

What specifically are you confused about?

extra androids, how are there two time machines,

Iirc:

A)Androids-
#19 and 20 donā€™t exist in Trunksā€™ time, thatā€™s why he was all surprised @ the extra androids. (The future was altered by his going back in time to warn Goku and co.)

B)Time Machines-
Trunks in the Cell Saga = from Future Timeline A; took the time machine to help the z-senshi, blah blah blah.

Cell = from Future Timeline B; killededed Trunks in this timeline, then jacked the machine to go back into the past b4 the Trunks of Timeline A came along.

Thatā€™s about the gist of it, I think.

hot damn

Weeeeeeeee. I just did a run through Android Saga to the end of the Majin Buu saga. I had to forward through those fight scenes but it still took a while. I may have to buy the DBZ sagas afterall.

Fight between Piccolo and Android 17 definitely wins it all!

Now back to DBā€¦
