| Nostalgia I wonder how many episodes this will have? Maybe 45 to 60 range? |
| oh man so nostalgic |
Ferolex said: So, any clue as to who might be subbing it? I don't even like DBZ subbed (although original dbz dub is the worst thing ever... hence why I prefer DBZ Kai by a mile) but I really want to see this. Bro, original DBZ dubbed is awesome. Don't hate. |
| I am so happy I started watching DBZ Kai (2014 version). So nostalgic. I'm going to watch/rewatch all of DB Kai so I could be "caught up" at where we are. I love DBZ and I'm glad they are redoing Buu saga (I don't even remember all of it) lol. I don't even think I watched all of it growing up. I'm glad I have the great opportunity to watch this again. I'm older now so I will definitely understand everything better. I'll probably rewatch old DBZ again soon. But for now I'll watch/rewatch Kai from the beginning and get "caught up" to where we're at with the Buu saga. I'm very happy. |
| Plus, I really remember this stuff with Saiyaman. I watched this in the summer of 2002. Takes me way, back. This is amazing. 5/5 |
| Awww yeah nostalgia trip!! This is my third time watching this arc and its still amazing and hilarious. This goes straight to my faves of the season. |

Don't hate. You can't make me think otherwise... there is nothing you can say to make me think that that thing is anywhere near as good as Kai's dub... just Goku going super saiyan in the original compared to Kai is... no... hell no. "I... woooon't let youuu geettt aawaaayyyy with this" sounded so fucking ridiculous... the terrible dialogue... horrible acting.... it's just beyond me that anyone can think it's better... throw in Bruce Faulconer's music and that makes it even worse. |
| Man. It's very long time when i last watching this. :O Anyway the OP and ED is pretty good in my opinion. |
 |
| I liked this episode tough what bothers me is Gohan's voice which Toei Animation should make it lower because he is already a teenager and resembles to Goku's voice but meh. I love how naive he was in this episode and how Videl was so suspicious about him. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Nice but they skip overworld tournament Goku vs Pikkon |
| I love it the kai is now continuing because DBZ was my childhood practically I can't count the times I've rewatched it...but dafuq is up with Gohan's voice |
| "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." |
| Hop on this Funimation. |
kaitonic said: Nice but they skip overworld tournament Goku vs Pikkon The whole Other World tournament is filler and Kai is DBZ without fillers. |
| It's been so long since I've watched Dragon Ball, this is great. Since this is without fillers that Dragon Ball Z had, I think I might enjoy this more since I won't have to wait as long for whatever parts. |
| Insert philosophical quote or exceptional picture here. |
| Do I need to watch prequels before watching this ? |

 |
| That baseball game was hilarious. I wish that there would be more of this kinda stuff. And it always cracks me up when people talk about their grand savior, Mister Satan. ;D 2 bad that Goku and Piccolo in driving school was most likely a filler and so they won't air it (can't actually remember when exactly it took place). That one episode is pure comedy gold. |
Just sit back, and let your tears do the talking as I save you. |
DrGeroCreation said: Wow the opening completely spoils (reveals) everything for new viewers. Dragon Ball is... well, old. There are millions of images and DB videos around the internet... New viewers are already spoiled, so whatever. |

| Yo this was awesome. I have no complaints whatsoever I'm gonna enjoy this to the max. Slice of life Dbz is awesome. Oh the nostalgia <3 |
 |
| im glad Hatsuyuki pick this one up, great first episode so much feels |

Linkark07 said: You are talking about Cha La Head Cha La. True but the entire sagas were not spoiled. You saw Goku turn Super Saiyan but you didn't see him fighting Frieza.DrGeroCreation said: Wow the opening completely spoils (reveals) everything for new viewers. Well, dunno about the US but the original DBZ opening for Latin America completely spoiled Super Saiyan Goku or Vegeta joining the Z Warriors, or Trunks´s appearance. From the first episode. Monochrome said: I guess so too, they will most likely keep this opening for the entire saga.The Majin Buu arc is the first in all of Dragon Ball that I completely watched, so I'm really excited for this >_< Though I never watched the Saiyaman stuff so I'll have to wait a few episodes for the full nostalgia fun DrGeroCreation said: I was a little surprised by how much they spoiled too. I guess they don't plan to change the video as the series goes on like in the first part of Kai. This series probably won't be even half it's length so can't really blame them for being lazy.Wow the opening completely spoils (reveals) everything for new viewers. |

| For once I wouldn't have mind the filler. The Other World stuff is awesome. But at least Great Saiyaman arc won't be so long this time, it's pretty fun but in short doses. Can't wait to see Videl getting close with Gohan again. -Zeaos said: Yes, you have been spoiled by Madhouse. But this is still not a remake.Sourire said: -Zeaos said: welcome to 90's cartoon you dweebShitty quality.

| "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." |
| Thank god they skipped the othe Other World Tournament saga... Btw, I have already read the whole manga, so it doesn't bother me, but couldn't the OP be less spoilerific? |
NeigeNoire said: Thank god they skipped the othe Other World Tournament saga... Btw, I have already read the whole manga, so it doesn't bother me, but couldn't the OP be less spoilerific? Everyone and their mom has seen DBZ buu saga, but I still felt weird that they showed everything that was going to happen from fusion to kid buu saga in the OP. That's kind of spoilerish to people who, surprisingly, never saw the buu saga. And yeah, never was a fan of the Other World Tournament saga, there was waaay to much filler between this beginning of the sayain man saga and the world tournament/babidi saga, so I'm glad that's getting cut off. |
| Nnngh. Glorious 90's animation. The Buu Saga is actually my favorite arc, so I'm pretty excited for this. |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
OngPQ said: Yeah you should watch saiyan saga, Namek saga, Frieza saga, Android saga and Cell saga before you watch the Buu saga. This episode is basically episode 99 of Dragon Ball Kai, you should watch the previous 98 episodes.Just watched this episode, is there any season before I should watch before this season? |
|
| The very 1st anime i have ever watched and havent for about 5-6 years.Thrilled. I will never forget all those times when i was 6-7 and was trying to tranform into Super Saiyan. Oh, wait....... I still do. |
| Everybody has the right to have his own opinion on something.And you do have the right to disagree with them.But that doesnt give you the right to impose your opinion on others, even though you do have the right to think you are fucking awesome. |

| What a nostalgic 1st episode! This is the only picture that describes it: http://imgur.com/utMF1Vv |
 Read my manga at http://tapastic.com/series/Strawberry-Succubus |
| Never watched the Z or Kai series(only a few peeks here and there), only the original.The 90s animation doesnt really affect me that much, so it looks fine to me. Tbh, this episode was hilarious. Gohan's attempts to conceal his identity cracked a few laughs out of me. Will watch more. |
 |
| Man, I had completely forgotten how hilarious it was to see Gohan trying so hard to fit in without attracting any attention... and failing miserably. Even if I have already watched the Buu arc a bazillion times on its original format, I think this is going to be fun anyway. |
| "I know about people who talk about suffering for the common good. It's never bloody them! When you hear a man shouting "Forward, brave comrades!" you'll see he's the one behind the bloody big rock and the one wearing the only really arrow-proof helmet!" -- Rincewind gives a speech on politics. (Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times) |
| [English Dub] 6/10 Great Better Voice Acting as expected obviously. I also like the more accurate dialogue to the manga changing each character a fair amount. It's fun seeing this arc for a 6th time (1st time Kai) but it's too fast paced and rushed which is a little disappointing. What I'm disappointed the most about was the debut of Great Saiyaman with the thugs, in how they rushed the moment where he slowly gets pissed + the horrible OST which IMO ruined that scene. I prefer the original FUNimation Directing/OST of that scene but, oh well. |
| Nicely split to be honest with the 7 year difference it sure makes it nice that they separated it! Like the arc where Gohan goes to school, looking forward to see what they've cut here to still keep true to the story and improve the pacing! |
 |
| they didn't exaggerated with the spoilers at all, they should'v also bring in the last change of the genki dama. the song was nice, but i prefer We Gotta Power of dbz or even they would'v sticked to dragon soul pattern... i actually don't like at all gohan adult, or his design, i prefer him when he was a kid, or even saybamen, and i always liked the addition of vide to the series. this kind of slice-of-life episodes in dbz style are always nice. but what with the spoilers in the eyecatch? the fusions are more than 10 episodes for now... the ending theme was actually better, though the animation is really taking slow. |
| Ugh, why even make a Kai version if you're going to go back to 16:9 and "glorious 1080p" Therefore cropping out scenes, removing detail from the scenes itself and just looks bad. They could've just stuck with the same thing they did in the previous Kai prequel, no idea why they switched. |
 |
| I watched Kai a while back and didn't even know this part of Kai existed. I just thought they remade it without including the Buu saga. It's Dragon Ball and of course it starts with probably the cringiest chapter of the whole series: The Great Saiyaman. Although it just makes me laugh now, instead of cringe. I still hope it's over soon though, so we can get straight into the "real" action. |
 |
| finally, a bearable gohan voice |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Decent enough episode. Had never watched the original Buu saga before (have read the manga though), so this should be interesting. I don't expect it to be as good as the previous sagas, but I do like Videl. |
