 Welcome to my DragonBall Z Page. Even though the title mentions DragonBall Z and only DBZ, this page has to do with DragonBall in general. DragonBall was created by Akira Toriyama and it started off as a manga in 1984. It was based on the Chinese legend, "Saiyuki," or, "Journey to the West," and was edited in a weekly manga magazine called "Shonen Jump." The anime which was released by TOEI Animation in 1986 was based on the manga. It was more like a comedy with some martial arts blended into it. DragonBall focused on the main character, Gokou, and all his adventures trying to collect the DragonBalls which granted wishes. Then when Gokou grew up, he met his Saiya-Jin brother, Raditz, and the DragonBall Z series began (although in the manga, the name remained DragonBall). After DBZ, it seemed DragonBall was over, but then TOEI Animation decided to release DragonBall GT without Akira Toriyama. This series started off with Gokou being wished back as a child by Pilaf, one of the villains from DragonBall. After DragonBall GT ended, it was truly the end of DragonBall...But that doesn't mean it's gone forever. We'll still remember it in out hearts and what not. In the U.S. though, it's actually just beginning to gain popularity. FUNimation dubbed the first thirteen DragonBall episodes, aired them, then cut it off. Then they dubbed twenty six DragonBall Z episodes and people actually began to take up interest in DragonBall Z. The U.S. episodes unfortunately were censored and the anime lost much of its original feeling because of the censoring of some what strong language and blood. After that, FUNimation dubbed another twenty seven episodes which were also censored. Then it looked like DragonBall Z was once again cut off, and they didn't even finish the Freeza Saga. Then FUNimation decided to release more episodes that continued the Freeza Saga. Although the voice overs were different and took some getting used to, U.S. fans rejoiced over more DBZ episodes being brought to the U.S. Also, these new episodes weren't as censored (they showed some blood) as the first fifty three episodes, but they were still considered censored material. Hopefully FUNimation will decide to dub more episodes so that DragonBall will continue to live on. The Dragon Balls are the only thing that can bring Goku back to life. A large search now starts. While in "Heaven" Goku travel the Great Snake Way (a long road) to get to King Kai's home for some intense training. Gohan, who is now being trained by Piccolo is gearing up for the intense battle. After many days the Saiyans arrive, and Goku still is not back yet.A fight breaks out, Gohan and the team show their great strength but are still no match.Yamcha is killed by a Saibamen, Teienshinhan and Chaout-zu try suicidal blasts (which don't work)and Piccolo is killed. When Goku does arrive he quickly takes care of Nappa and goes on to battle Vegeta. In a long, tiring battle in which Vegeta turned into an Ooharazu and cheated.(Yajirobe cut off his tail to change him back.) When they finally defeat Vegeta he crawls back intp his Saiyan space pod and Krillin is about to kill him when. . . Goku stops him. After the battle Goku is taken to the hospital. In an attempt to bring back those who were killed in the battle, Gohan, Bulma and Krillin set out to look for the Dragonballs to wish them back.   |
