Omschrijving

In February 2009, Toei Animation announced that it would begin broadcasting a revised version of Dragon Ball Z as part of the series' 20th anniversary celebrations. The series premiered on Fuji TV in Japan on April 5, 2009, under the name Dragon Ball Kai. The ending suffix Kai (改「かい」?) in the name means "updated" or "altered" and reflects the improvements and corrections of the original work.[14] The original footage was remastered for HDTV, featuring updated opening and ending sequences, new music, and a rerecording of the vocal tracks.[14][15] The original material and any damaged frames were removed to more closely follow the manga, resulting in a faster-moving story.[16] The series concluded with the finale of the Cell arc as opposed to including the Majin Buu arc. It was originally planned to run 98 episodes, however due to the Tōhoku offshore earthquake and tsunami, the final episode of Dragon Ball Kai was not aired and the series ended on its 97th episode in Japan on March 27, 2011.

In November 2012, Mayumi Tanaka, the Japanese voice of Krillin, announced that she and the rest of the cast were recording more episodes of Dragon Ball Kai.[17] In February 2014, the Kai adaptation of the final Majin Buu arc was officially confirmed. The series, which is said by Toei's European branch to be titled Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters and will run for 69 episodes, began airing in Japan on Fuji TV on April 6, 2014.

Dit zijn de eerste 97 afleveringen (en 1 special) van de serie. De overige afleveringen heb ik nog niet met een Engelse dub kunnen vinden. Als iemand die kan posten, graag.
