Rest in Peace Shunsuke Kikuchi. He did all of the music from Dragon Ball to the end of Z. Recently died of pneumonia. Your legacy shall live on forever.
His music wasn't even good. DBZ is about fighting alien overlords and high tech spaceships and time machines, and his music just didn't fit well with it. It sounded way too old fashioned, even for the 90s.
Transformations, Planet busting fights, multiple universes, alien tyrants, bio androids, regular androids, gods, demons, shape shifting animals, giant apes, epic fighting tournaments, fusions, alien teams that pose alot, time traveling. All of this started because a teenage girl shot a boy in the face.
@@Tangrowth_Fan It's not technically a song because there are no lyrics (though the opening theme has lyrics), but I have to agree, this is the best theme I've ever heard.
I found another one From a country kid protecting his grandpa's dragon ball and traveling all around the world to find more dragon balls to a god who mastered a transformation not even the gods could reach goku brings us so much nostalgia everyone loves him
DarkfoX I do remember the days when Yamcha and Goku were basically even in power. Krillin was never up to Goku's level, but Tenshinhan is another matter entirely. He was actually more powerful than Goku, by the numbers, for a while.
Sasuke Uchiha The very first season of Dragon Ball. Yamcha and Goku fought on very even terms. It was actually Bulma's appearance which lead to Yamcha's defeat, not Goku. Goku exceeded him later in the season, however, when he learned the Kamehameha and when he transformed into an Oozaru.
Lol I watched DBZ first and then found out about Dragonball, I knew I had to watch it so I bought all the seasons :3 I loved it haha, at points I thought it was better than DBZ
@SuperBad97 the part about a shit ton of screaming is true though, really don't know why they chose to have them scream when they power up, probably a joke at first
SuperBad97 We don’t. It’s just a fact that in DB all the major fights had actual strategy and application of martial arts to overcome an enemy (with the inclusion of some lasers). All of the DBZ & Super main fights end in either a blast and are primarily just punching and kicking and little tactics involved.
Master Roshi was just being very nice when he said Yamcha is in no condition to fight in the piccilo saga. The truth of the matter was that Yamcha would have been Yamcha'd no matter what.
***** Super Saiyans weren't around in Dragon Ball and Yamcha still helped out during the Pilaf Saga. Not to mention he was still good enough to get into the tournaments and all that.
edward18517 . ... yet would always lose the first round because of him being Yamcha and fighting Jackie Chun, Tien, and a Kami controlled Hero. Krillin was much more useful.
ThePokemanz1 Yeah, Because fighting the legendary master roshi (who beat goku by the way), champion of the 22nd budokai Tien (who also beat goku) and GOD! is really easy. Give yamcha a break...
That's how I feel about all of DB, including DBZ. I didn't watch any of the series in the franchise until I was 23 (I'm 30 now) and yet I feel a strange sort of childhood nostalgia over it.
If you watch the fighting-scenes you realize that they are ACTUALLY FIGHTING. The moves were comprehensible and the coreographies - espacially at the tournaments - were simply fantastic. Just to point one out: The fight between Tien and Yamcha. It was also great that Dragonball really was about friedship and ADVENTURE and not just watch different people changing their hairstyles. They improved through hard training and learning instead of charging up their crazy superpowers.
There’s just something about Dragon Ball that just makes me so, so damn happy. Something so endearing that no matter the era, no matter the form, just seeing Goku’s big dumb smile is always enough to bring me pure joy. I owe so much to Dragon ball and it will always have the most special place in my heart. Thank you Akira Toriyama.
+Gabrielle Kpanlin As a child, he doesnt know what girls are, what marriage is, what running in zig-zag is.... he literally knows nothing because he grows up with his grandpa in the forests. And that was just super cute :)
Rip Akira toriyama حقا صنعت لنا تحفه فنية ، اتذكر وانا طفل كنت اتابع الانمي على سبيستون ، كان حلمي اشاهد اخر حلقه عرضوها واستغربت انهم ماكملو من بعد انفجار كوكب ناميك وضننت ان غوكو قد مات ، لكن كان وقتها سوبر قد بدا واتذكر شاهدته في آرك غوكو بلاك الحلقه 68 تقريبا عند إندماج غوكو بلاك وزاماس ماكنت اعرف مين غوتين ماكنت اعرف ترانكس ماكنت اعرف ليش شعرهم يتغير لونه ومين بيروس ، حتى قررت اتابع زد وكان افضل اختيار اقرره حقا كان أفضل عمل ولا يزال المفضل بالنسبة لي ، بعد مشاهدتي لزد من فترة بدأت ايضا متابعه دراغون بول الجزء الاول كان أفضل قرار اتخذته ، الجد غوهان وكيف ان غوكو تدرب مع كوريلين على يد موتن روشي ، وان اول من هزم غوكو كان ايضا موتن روشي على ما اذكر ، وكيف غوكو لولا انه لم يلتق ببولما لربما مات من باحثي كرات التنين الاخرين ، وعندما ذهب للشمال جهه الثلوج والتقى بالفتاة ذات الشعر الاحمر ، تمنيت لو انه تزوجها بدلا عن تشي تشي ، انه عمل عظيم بحق افضل عمل على الإطلاق وله كامل الإحترام ، وسيكمل تويتارو هذه الرحلة لكن عن نفسي اعتبر نهاية زد هي النهاية الفعليه لأنمي دراغون بول ، يبقى وسيبقى افضل عمل في العالم ❤️
most dragonball z fans that I talk to don't even know this series exists. Whenever I ask if they've seen dragonball they assume I'm talking about z. "you mean dragonball z?"
@@shockwavegaming4634 super just sucks until the top arc, and then it getts better but still sucks. What i mean is that top arc had ultra instinct and actual fights but at the end its just pointless cuz of d r a g o n b a l l s
@@UnKewledPenguin DBS was good from the u6 tournament arc, I loved Hit and Goku Black. The fight against Hit was the most strategic fight in all of dragon ball.
I wasn't a huge Dragon Ball Z fan, but I really enjoyed Dragon Ball. DBZ always kind of had this shroud of seriousness hovering over it, while Dragon Ball was just a fun and lighthearted show most of the time.
The best thing about DB was that fights were actually about skills, intelligence, training and techniques, not only power levels. The winner was the most skilled fighter, not the one which could release the greatest amount of ki.
This ost captures the feel of the OG Dragon ball so well, but I love how the second half screams Goku. It captures him beautifully with that wondrous and childlike personality he's had since he was a kid
Only some people cared about the tail, then they remembered that dinosaurs roam the world and the president is a dog. Then they stopped caring about the tail.
Something about this song just feels so perfectly... "childhood". Like, I didn't even watch Dragon Ball as a little kid, I only got into it a lot later, and yet something about this theme immediately fills me with such a strong sense of youthful nostalgia, it's absolutely magical. It's so playful, energetic, and rambunctious, and captures little Goku perfectly.
The tournament of power better end with goku giving a kamehameha headbutt to the chest towards jiren knock him out of the ring before he can even react, as this music plays while goku approaches.
Close... Gohan does sacrifice himself so his mortal childhood enemy could blast the third to last member of an elite team of warriors... just like Goku did at the start of Z!
Still waiting for the Moment, when in the Final Episode of DBS. Goku fucks up the Last Enemy with this Music. That would be the Most Epic Final in all TV History.
I feel like people are mad that the franchise changes, that DBZ wasn't exactly like DB. DB was a fantasy martial arts adventure. DBZ was a scifi adventure. Different stories! If it were same-old same-old, the franchise would have gotten stale.
I just feel like dbz has the same repetitive end of the world plots with the stakes being to high and no comedy moments in between fights except the gotenks vs super buu fight which was one of my favorite fights just because of some of the comedy in it
First DBZ is Space Fantasy not Scifi after all they still use "MAGIC" and theres no science arround! Also when it comes to music i hope we can agree that not keepin any consistent Main Theme is Stupid!
I love you master Goku. Dbz is a way of life, not an ordinary anime. It is because of Goku I started meditating, working out at a young age. Goku is not some average anime depressed backstory character, he shows will and to always keep moving forward with pure intentions regardless of what happens in one's life.
BRO ME TOO, After I finished og db and saiyan saga, I got motivated when Goku was working out in gravity machine on the way to namek, I started to work out and meditate
I'll admit to never watching Dragon Ball when the DBZ craze hit the states, but I did watch it much later down the line and I must say it's damn good. Would I say better then the DBZ series? Personally I don't think you could compare the two since Dragon Ball is clearly about adventure, while as DBZ is all about power leveling. Its apples and oranges essentially. I will admit Dragon Ball is fun seeing Goku overcome adversity instead of the constantly power level struggle of "A New Challenger Has Arrived!"
I think the original Dragon Ball is better,IMO.People really don't reference all that often though.Dragon Ball is more popular in the manga; while Dragon Ball Z obviously more popular in anime.I do miss dem days when Goku wasn't known as a Saiyan.Ya know...back then you could compare anime characters on who will win instead of saying "Goku will go SSJ3 on your butt!"
Dragon ball was originally inspired by journey to the west featuring the monkey king flying cloud giant staff bansho fann that creates rain and storms yup even a shapshifting man pig and that gored that terror and plague used monkey king got stuck in one aswell he used the bansho fan to expel the mist and launch himself out like a bullet where goku peed in the bottle the main reason the show was good and always will be is because it took notes from a timless tale that every whos seen loves dbz was trying a whole new thing entierly and akira toryama definitely made it work
I've started with Dragonball and luckily DBZ just arrived when I finished with the last episodes of the original DB. I was totally fascinated by the world of Dragonball, Toriyama has created something so enjoyable with great characters. And I was at the right age to be totally blown away by DBZ too. I love both, but if I'd have to choose, I'd always go with the original DB, Z has lots of fillers and if you know who's going to win, it's not that interesting anymore. I wish I could erase my memory of Dragonball and relive the whole anime again.
Back when Dragon Ball was just “martial arts, hyah! Defeat the bad guys” but now it’s “the universe is gonna get destroyed you punch the enemy’s face before he pounds your face with a strike not even gods can comprehend” which I still respect
To the man that single-handedly created a series that shaped my life and so many others and changed shounen anime forever. May you rest in peace in other world Akira Toriyama.
