List of Dragon Ball Z episodes
Dragon Ball Z (ドラゴンボールZ(ゼット) Doragon Bōru Zetto, commonly abbreviated as DBZ) is the long-running anime sequel to the Dragon Ball TV series, adapted from the final twenty-six volumes of the Dragon Ball manga written by Akira Toriyama. The manga portion of the series debuted in Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1988 and lasted until 1995; the anime adaptation premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on April 26, 1989, taking over its predecessor's time slot, and ran until its conclusion on January 31, 1996, lasting 2 episodes in Japan, and 7 episodes in the United States originally, although all 10 episodes were later broadcast when content from the first 67 episodes was restored.
Dragon Ball Z uses four pieces of theme music in the Japanese version. From episodes 1-199, the opening theme is "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" by Hironobu Kageyama, and the closing theme is "Detekoi Tobikiri Zenkai Pawā!" by MANNA. From episodes 200-291, the opening and closing themes are "WE GOTTA POWER" and "Boku-Tachi wa Tenshi Datta," both by Hironobu Kageyama.
In 1995, Funimation Entertainment licensed Dragon Ball Z for an English-language release in the United States. They contracted Saban Entertainment to help finance and distribute the series to television, Geneon Universal Entertainment to handle home video distribution, Ocean Productions to dub the anime, andShuki Levy to compose an alternate musical score. This dub of Dragon Ball Z was heavily edited for content, as well as length; reducing the first 67 episodes into 53.[1] The series premiered in the U.S. on September 13, 1996, in first-run syndication to broadcast networks, but was cancelled after two seasons due to low ratings.
On August 31, 1998, however, the same cancelled dubbed episodes began airing on Cartoon Network as part of the channel's Toonami programming block, where the series received much more popularity. Soon after, Funimation, having dissolved their partnership with Saban and Geneon, continued dubbing and distributing the series by themselves, now using their own in-house voice cast, a new musical score composed by Bruce Faulconer, and less editing due to fewer restrictions on cable programming.[2] Dragon Ball Z was now in full production in the U.S. and the new dub of the series aired on Cartoon Network from September 13, 1999 to April 7, 2003.
The Funimation dubbed episodes also aired in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand. However, beginning with episode 108, Westwood Media (in association with Ocean Productions) produced an alternate English dub. The alternate dub was broadcast in the UK, the Netherlands, Ireland, and Canada, while Funimation's dub continued to air in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. In 2004, Geneon lost its distribution rights to the first 53/67 episodes of Dragon Ball Z, allowing Funimation to re-dub them with their in-house voice cast and restore the removed content. These re-dubbed episodes aired on Cartoon Network in the U.S. during the summer of 2005.[3][4]
In 2006, Funimation remastered the episodes in 16:9 widescreen format and then began re-releasing the series to Region 1 DVD in nine individual season box sets. The first set was released on February 6, 2007; the final set on May 19, 2009. In July 2009, Funimation announced that they would again be re-releasing Dragon Ball Z in a new seven-volume DVD set called "Dragon Box Z," which was previously released in Japan as a two-volume set. Based on the original series masters with frame-by-frame restoration, the episodes are uncut and, unlike the previous season box sets, are presented in 4:3 fullscreen format. The first set was released on November 10, 2009; the final set was released on October 11, 2011.[5]
In July 2011, Funimation announced plans to release Dragon Ball Z in Blu-Ray format. Dragon Ball Z Level 1.1, containing the first 17 episodes, was released on November 8, 2011.
