Dragon Ball Z ( Japaneseド ラ ゴ ン ボ ー ル Z Doragon Bōru Zetto , often abbreviated as DBZ ) is a 291-episode Japanese anime series that can be assigned to the Shōnen genre and is the continuation of the television series Dragon Ball . Both animes are based on the internationally successful 42-volume manga series Dragon Ball by the artist Akira Toriyama, which appeared from 1984 to 1995 . While the Dragon Ball anime implements the manga story up to volume 17, chapter 194 and describes events in the childhood of the main character Son Goku, Dragon Ball Z continues the story with Son Goku as an adult from volume 17, chapter 195.
action
Chronologically, Dragon Ball Z covers the period from the childhood of Son Goku's son Gohan to the childhood of Son Gohan's daughter Pan.
According to Studio Toei, the series officially consists of four "sagas":
- Saiyan Saga (episodes 1-35)
- Freezer Saga (episodes 36–125)
- Cell saga (episodes 126–199)
- Boo saga (episodes 200-291)
The basis of the plot is the defense against seemingly overpowering attackers who either strive for supremacy or seek revenge for defeats previously suffered. A group of fighters (who call themselves Z-warriors) around Son Goku oppose these attackers in order to prevent them from carrying out their plans. Dragon Ball Z consists of the representation of these fights, loosened up by humorous incidents and sayings. The fights, their effects and the fighting strength of the participants increase with the continuation of the series to ever new superlatives.
The series is characterized by an almost surreal expansion of dramatic situations through long sequences of cuts and dialogues. Also typical is the frequent alternation of the plot and some characters between this world and the hereafter, which indicates the underlying Far Eastern ways of thinking and narrative traditions.

Episodes
synchronization
The basis for the German-language adaptation was a previously edited French version, while the dialogue translation was based on the German manga series. The German dialogue book was written by Thomas Maria Lehmann, the dialogue was directed by Wolfgang Zahl.
The German dubbing was implemented by the dubbing studio of the Berlin MME Studios and took place in consultation with the French license holders. Among other things, Santiago Ziesmer was initially cast as the voice actor for the role of Vegeta, as he sounded most similar to the French speaker. Due to protests from fan circles, the role was re-cast after a few episodes with Oliver Siebeck.

As opening songs, Cha-la-head-cha-la and We Gotta Power were translated into German by Hironobu Kageyama and produced under the direction of Andy Knote .
Dragon Ball Z in the present cut version received a broadcast release from 7 p.m. without further conditions and was broadcast on the private broadcaster RTL II from August 27, 2001 and subsequently repeated there several times. During the first broadcast of the series, an event went through the media known as the Erfurt rampage . In the immediate aftermath of this, the station's program management decided at short notice not to broadcast two episodes because an assassination attempt on the boastful wrestler Mister Satan can be seen here. Instead, the immediately following episodes were broadcast.
From March 5, 2005 to July 18, 2006, the series was repeated by the broadcaster Tele 5 in a cut version.
German DVD release
The German DVD label Anime-Virtual announced on July 29, 2009 that it would publish all 291 episodes of the anime in ten DVD boxes. The DVDs only contain the German TV version, which is based on the French cuts and except for episode 253, there are no subsequent cuts. The reason for the lack of the original Japanese version is to keep the price of the boxes affordable for all fans. The Japanese end credits are also missing from the first episode that RTL II broadcast when it was first broadcast on August 27, 2001.

Dragon Ball Z Kai
season 1
A Japanese, high-definition version was broadcast on Fuji TV from April 5, 2009 to March 27, 2011, as well as two dozen other channels with an offset, which received digitally revised video material and a new dubbed version that was recorded for the 20th anniversary of the series. Directed by Yasuhiro Nowatari.
The series was revised in several aspects and now exactly follows the plot of the manga under the name Dragon Ball Kai. In contrast to Dragon Ball Z, it is not interrupted by so-called filler episodes , which were inserted in the original broadcast to stretch the content whenever the plot of the anime caught up with the manga published in parallel in Weekly Shōnen Jump . In some countries the new edition is called Dragon Ball Z Kai , including Germany and the United States.
The plot of the new version begins with content from the television special, which appeared on DVD in Germany under the title Das Bardock Special . It shows the prehistory of the annihilation of the Saiyajin by Freezers and, as an introduction, also contains footage from the first television series, before the actual plot begins at the same time as in the original.
Overall, Dragon Ball Kai should contain 98 episodes and end with the Cell saga, but on March 27, 2011 the 98th episode, which should have been broadcast immediately after the 97th, was not broadcast due to the severe earthquake in Japan. Although the Dragon Ball Kai episode 98 ( Mirai ni Heiwa o! Gokū no Tamashī yo Eien ni ) has not been broadcast on Japanese television to this day, it is included on the published Japanese Blu-rays and DVDs.
In May, Kazé announced that it had licensed the first season of Dragon Ball Z Kai . This is to appear from September 2015, divided into six boxes, every two months. The first box was released on October 9, 2015. The series received an independent, new dubbed version.
season 2
A second season with a further 61 episodes, which covers the Boo saga, was shown on Fuji TV from April 6, 2014 to June 28, 2015, as well as on two dozen other channels with an offset. Naohiro Terazaki directed this season. Originally 69 episodes were to be broadcast, but 8 episodes have been removed from the Japanese episode count and are not included on the Japanese DVDs and Blu-rays . The official international name of the second season is Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters and, in contrast to the Japanese number of episodes, contains all 69 episodes planned.
synchronization
The German dubbed version of Dragon Ball Z Kai is produced by the Berlin dubbing studio TV + Synchron GmbH under the direction of Sabine Winterfeldt, who also wrote the dialogue book.

In 1990 and 1993, a separate television film was produced that goes into more detail on the background story of individual characters. Both films were released on DVD in Germany .

Studio Toei produced a total of 13 Dragon Ball Z cinema films from 1989 to 1995 with stories outside of the manga template. The first feature film to be released in Germany under the title Die Todeszone des Garlic jr. appeared, provides the template for a section of Dragon Ball Z , which begins after the Freezer saga.

Like the Dragon Ball Z specials, the films in Germany, Austria and Switzerland will first appear on the anime label Polyband. Since they are now out of stock, Kazé licensed the films and specials and brought them on DVD in a total of three complete boxes from October 2011. The subtitles were completely re-translated.
With the game Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 from 2010, the first OVA Dragon Ball: Plan to destroy the Super Saiyan from 1993 was published outside of Japan for the first time.
A new OVA has been published since December 2011, but so far only exists in Japan. In which the legend of the Super Sayajin is retold. Goku's father, Bardock, is not killed in the destruction of the planet Vegeta, but is sent back in time. There he transforms into a Super Sayajin.
A new, animated Dragon Ball film was released in Japan for the Shōnen Jump Super Anime Tour 2008, which went through several locations in Japan from September 21 to November 23 and shows several films on manga series from the magazines of the Shueisha publishing house by the name of Dragon Ball: Hey! Son Goku and his friends return !! , in which Akira Toriyama was fully involved. The film was together with the manga Romance Dawn and Letter Bee filmed for the anime tour from November 24, 2008 to January 31, 2009 on the Shōnen Jump site for free online.
On March 30, 2013, the 14th Dragon Ball Z film (ド ラ ゴ ン ボ ー ル Z 神 と 神Doragon Bōru Z: Kami to Kami ) was released in Japanese cinemas. The plot of the film, which Akira Toriyama was instrumental in developing, takes place between manga chapters 517 and 518, after defeating Majin Boo, during the time jump of ten years and before the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai. The action after Hey! Goku and his friends return !! , which starts two years after the events in the Boo saga.
continuation
Due to the great success of Dragon Ball Z , another sequel series was produced for about a year from 1996 under the title Dragon Ball GT , which comprises 64 episodes, but unlike Dragon Ball Z no longer has a manga template. On July 5, 2015, a new anime series titled Dragon Ball Super started on Japanese television, which reappears together with a manga by Akira Toriyama and follows on from Dragon Ball Z.
Success and reception
In April 2002, RTL II achieved a market share of 18% among 13 to 29 year olds with the broadcast of Dragon Ball Z, meaning that an average of 1.3 million viewers saw the series. AnimaniA magazine explains the success primarily with the complex universe in which the series takes place. The network of figures is sophisticated and the world is lovingly designed. In the case of the anime, in contrast to the manga, the focus would be on the action instead of the comedy. Despite the simple good-evil scheme, the series is a lot of fun at the beginning. Later, however, starting with the Cell Games , the tension is exhausted too far and the fights dragged on. Thanks to the possibilities of the Dragon Balls, the viewer is now offered a "showdown in an endless loop format" . The animation quality is consistently high. The synchronization is also appropriate, except for the voice of Vegeta. This has been changed after many fans complained.
