After Dragon Ball Z, the story of Goku and friends continues in the anime-only series Dragon Ball GT, which is not based on a manga by Akira Toriyama but is a project by Toei Animation using the same characters and storyline that serves as a sequel to Dragon Ball Z. Toriyama's humor/parody manga Nekomajin, released after Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, features several concepts introduced in the series, and several Dragon Ball Z characters make various appearances in this manga. The character designs for Dragon Ball Z were created by Minoru Maeda from the Raditz Saga to the Cell Games Saga and Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru from the Great Saiyaman Saga to the Peaceful World Saga. Like Dragon Ball, the music for Dragon Ball Z was composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi. The series average rating was 20.5%, with its maximum being 27.5% ( Episode 218) and its minimum being 12.1% ( Episode 273). The anime first premiered in Japan on Ap(on Fuji TV) at 7:30 p.m.

The other names the production was considering for this second series before they settled on Dragon Ball Z were Dragon Ball: Gohan's Big Adventure, New Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball 2, Dragon Ball Wonder Boy, and Dragon Ball 90. The anime also features characters, situations and back-stories not present in the original manga. The separation between the series is also significant as the latter series takes on a more dramatic and serious tone. While the original Dragon Ball anime followed Goku through childhood into adulthood, Dragon Ball Z is a continuation of his adulthood life, but at the same time parallels the maturation of his son, Gohan, as well as other characters from Dragon Ball and more. 4.11 Funimation 30th Anniversary Collector's Editionĭragon Ball Z opening title card in the original Japanese versionĭragon Ball Z follows the adventures of the adult Goku who, along with his companions, defends the earth against an assortment of villains ranging from intergalactic space fighters and conquerors, unnaturally powerful androids and near indestructible magical creatures.4.8 Funimation Rock the Dragon Edition Box Set.

1.4 Filler and differences from the manga.Additionally, even after FUNimation Entertainment started doing their own dub version and music, the instrumental end-credit version of the song still played over the end credits when the Frieza Saga was shown on Cartoon Network. On peer-to-peer music sharing sites, the song is often falsely credited to Linkin Park. The song was originally featured in the Ocean Group dub, produced while Ocean Studios dubbed the series under a joint venture between Saban and FUNimation, however when Saban ended this deal, FUNimation could no longer afford Ocean Studios' work and thus began dubbing the series using an in-house team, and soon replaced Levy and Mahehi's soundtrack with music by Bruce Faulconer. The opening sequence featured scenes from Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone, Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest, Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might, and the Vegeta Saga. It was written and performed by Shuki Levy and Kussa Mahehi.


It is also heard in the opening credits for the video game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai. " Rock the Dragon" is the unofficial title for the otherwise unnamed theme song heard during the opening and closing sequences of the FUNimation Dub of Dragon Ball Z, particularly in earlier episodes.
