                Toriyama dropped the Journey to the West ideas incredibly early on into Dragon Ball's serialisation, and by Z he was basically retconning it all out and turning the series into something completely different. It's not that complicated, Anon

      Actually I think original OP music is the only good to come from dubs and it's a shame very few modern dubs have them to at least slightly justify their existence. although the japanese OPs and EDs are all very good as well
      I don't think you even get this song anymore in current dubs though.

                Piccolo saga is the big shift where it turns into serious end of the world fights and thats two sagas (one of which he's an adult) before the beginning of z. And as that other anon said the manga was never z, that was just done for marketting reasons with the anime and didn't impact toriyamas manga at all

                Okay so we all agree that the story DOES eventually become about aliens having serious death matches with each other. It's fine for Goku to be voiced by the old lady when he's a child but the moment he became an adult man he is no longer "an adventurous monkey boy" as stated in

                No hes an adventurous monkey boy. Your perception of the character is skewed because you watch the awful dub where they change a bunch of shit

                and there's no reason for him to still be voiced by an old lady. I'm glad we're all on the same page now.

        Am I being trolled? Kai is GARBAGE. Here is a direct comparison and Funi blows Kai out of the water. Kai dialogue is awkward and Funi is definitely an improvement. Even the Faulconer music sets the tone perfectly for the series. The added dialogue of the Funi even adds more depth. Just compare Vegetas speech to Goku.

    Being a dubtard for DBZ is pure Stockholm Syndrome.
    The amount of dialogue here is unnecessary. Everything must be spelt out for the viewer. The dub writers think you are an idiot incapable of stomaching any sort of subtlety and you are slurping it up. I do not like using Nostalgia as an argument but you only like this trash because you grew up with it. Dubgays consistently have the worst takes on Dragon Ball.

      That's what happens when you live isolated on a mountain island on the edge of the world for centuries. It's just them warring with themselves over what little usable land is available. To the north is simply a frozen subarctic wasteland where nobody lives. To the east they have the empty pacific ocean, save for a couple tiny island chains 4000 miles away that are the midway point between them and North America another 2,400 miles away. To the south is another 3,000 miles of ocean until they reach ooga booga jungle people. Their neighbors are the chinese who are constantly wiping themselves out by the 10s of millions at least once per century. The only time they're not doing that to themselves is when they get on boats and attempt to do it to Japan. Their only other neighbor is Korea and that's just China Lite. This was Japan's existence until America dropped two nukes on it and forced them to build electronics and cars so they can serve a purpose in the world rather than finding new excuses to commit suicide.

    >On Earth, Vegeta quietly awaits the end of the battle.
    >After Namek's explosion, he tells Bulma how to bring Goku and Krillin back to life. His main reason for staying on Earth afterwards is his wish to see the super saiyan with his own eyes.

    Anime
    >Vegeta gets brought back to life by Shenron
    >Vegeta wanders around and sees SS Goku fighting Frieza, he seems very proud of his friend.
    >Vegeta is sent to Earth by Porunga.
    >On Earth, Vegeta seems happy that Goku and Frieza are killing each other, and once Namek explodes he's even happier because his biggest obstacles are gone and now he can conquer the universe (this is the guy who begged Goku to kill Frieza while crying like a little b***h).
    >Vegeta beats up Gohan and then flies away
    >Next episode he's back because the anime had to stick to the manga. They don't explain why he's back or why everyone is okay with him being back despite attacking a little kid minutes ago because it was fillershit.

    I'm watching the original Dragon Ball and the dub is objectively worse than the sub in every single way
    >dialogue is censored and changed to something else
    >completely unnecessary and mundane lines added for no reason
    >most of the voice actors don't even fit the voices their attached to such as hiring grown men to do kid voices for characters like Oolong and Yajirobe. Literally every other character has a goofy over-the-top accent for no reason which is distracting.

    Also one moment that happens in the dub that completely ruins the comedy of the Japanese version is a part where Bulma interacts with the villain General Blue for the first time and tries to flirt with him because she finds him cute. Blue gets grossed out by her and Bulma instinctually calls him gay just because he's not attracted to her which is hilarious. A few minutes later Bulma forgets about the situation, sees Blue beat the shit out of Goku and realizes she's next. She then decides to seduce him despite completely forgetting about the previous interaction. Blue of course becomes grossed out again and then Bulma quickly remembering that she forgot he was gay which was perfect comedic timing. In the dub after he gets grossed out the first time, she just calls him a prude and follows it up with some unfunny sumo wrestler horseshit. I swear this happens ALL THE FRICKING TIME in the dubs of Dragon Ball. They censor shit related to homosexuality, rape, pedophilia, and other shit and yet dubgays act like they watch the superior version? Dubgays don't even understand Goku's character since they changed that shit too lmao.

    I say this as someone who grew up watching the Funimation version like everyone else and being a hardcore dub only person until I became a non-moronic adult.

    I'll never understand the people who are against Goku being voiced by a girl aside from their obvious bias because of nostalgia. They always say Goku is voiced by an old lady but the one thing they never understand is that it does not matter. If you start from the beginning. Nozawa was handpicked by Akira Toriyama himself to voice KID Goku when she herself was still relatively young. She played that part with perfection and then as Goku grew older she changed the performance enough to where you can suspend your disbelief and still feel comfortable with the fact it's still the same voice actor who made the character great to begin with. The tone of the voice is different, Goku is more mature and that's reflected on her performance because she's a legitimate actor who has the most experience with that character already. You as the viewer don't give a shit she's a girl because you already love what she did prior to Goku growing up. That's part of acting. Tricking the viewer and making them get lost in that world which her performance does because she's one of the most prolific VA's of all time working since the days of the original fricking Astro Boy and still going. If every dub watcher started from the beginning of DB all the way up until now, not only would they not care about Goku's voice, but they would prefer it because it's the better performance. Goku in the dub is voiced by a fricking tuba player who decided to audition for some Japanimation show and got lucky. It's not even fair to compare the two.

        You're not understanding why it works though. She voiced Goku as a kid which is what she was hired for and only kept going because she was the best actor to continue Goku as an adult. When you voice the same character for years, who does a better job than the person who's only ever done it? You don't just replace the best person for the role just because she's a girl. Any good actor can make it work which it does. That's why the Dragon Ball franchise is 40 years old and is still going. You cannot make the argument that men have to be played by men and Toriyama was wrong for his decision because objectively speaking, Dragon Ball would still be the biggest anime franchise of all time without your opinion on that matter. Clearly it worked.

      Are you a troony? He's a muscle bound grown man now. Women can voice young boys because young boys have higher pitched voices, that changes when boys become adults. Nozawa is physically incapable of sounding like a big strong grown man and her voice does not suit the character anymore, it's really that simple. Anyone claiming they can't understand that is either lying to protect their nostalgia driven bias or mentally ill.

        Actually it is. That's what the word means. "Dubbing" is layering vocals over a film/video production. Doesn't matter if it's the original source language or a foreign translation.

        Also, "doujinshi" doesn't mean "fan comics", it means "self published". (just seemed like someone who would need to know that)

          Wrong again, that's exactly what it means. Well, I guess "indie printed works" would be the most technically accurate. "Self published" is doujin, when you add the "shi" it means paper publication.

    Dragon Ball is the reason I swore off dubs, I watched all of OG dubbed but then right after Vegeta escaped earth in Z I learnt about how they butchered gokus reason for letting him live and have turned my back on dubs since, every time I see a thread here defending it as one of the good dubs is utterly baffling to me, if i hadn't watched dragon ball I might still be a dubgay today about 5 years later (although even before I became a sub purist I was willing to watch subs if that was the only option both for no dub at all stuff and few week later dub stuff I wasn't going to wait extra weeks for a dub when I can watch the sub now)

    morons who think Goku is just a psychopathic WAKU WAKU man is the reason why DBS Goku is considered inferior to Z Goku

    Goku enjoys fighting more then anything else but he still cared about Gohan, Chi Chi, ect; and the planet he lived on. He's not a remorseless sociopath

      He was more emotionally involved with other characters in Dragon Ball than in both Z and Super. He cried when he met Grandpa Gohan again, he cried when Krillen was killed by Tambourine. He's generally more emotional and cares more for characters and what happens to them than in any of his adult versions.

      He’s not remorseless in Super either. Goku’s never had any psychopath moments. He’s never done anything out of pure evil intention. I remember when Roshi likened him to a feral animal in DB. He goes by instinct.

      They're mostly just shitposting. Most people accept that the original is obviously better in every way but people are still going to latch onto what they are use to seeing and hearing.

          Lmfao, it actually all sounds the same. Jap lovers must can't be serious.

          That's why you have no argument. Cope.

          Arguing with morons is foolish, much like enjoying granny-goku.

    Mutt version is superman knockoff. Jap version is at least original.
    Also hilarious how mutts keep posting that shit on every board trying to convince us that their garbage is better than the OG version. Insecurity to the max.

      Except when dragonball minus made Gokus backstory even more of a ripoff of Superman than it was. That was a conscious decision by toriyama

    I don’t see what’s wrong with the American dialogue? Goku let Frieza live after all
