List of Dragon Ball episodes
Dragon Ball is the first in a trilogy of anime adaptations of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama.
Produced by Toei Animation, the anime series premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on February 26, 1986, and ran
until April 12, 1989. Spanning 153 episodes (Episode 140 was delayed by the death of Emperor Shwa), it covers
the first 194 chapters of the 519 chapters-long manga series. It is followed by Dragon Ball Z, which covers the
remainder of the manga, and Dragon Ball GT, the plot of which was created solely for the anime.
Harmony Gold USA licensed the series for an English-language release in North America in the late 1980s. In the
voice dubbing of the series, Harmony Gold renamed almost all of the characters, including the protagonist Goku,
who was renamed "Zero." This dub was cancelled shortly after being test marketed in several cities and was never
broadcast to the general public, thus earning the fan-coined term "The Lost Dub."
[1]
In 1995, Funimation Entertainment acquired the license for the distribution of Dragon Ball in the United States.
They contracted BLT Productions to create an English version for the anime in Vancouver, Canada. The dubbed
episodes were also edited for content.
[2]
Thirteen episodes aired in first-run syndication during the fall of 1995 before
Funimation canceled the project due to low ratings. Trimark Pictures later purchased the home video distribution
rights for these dubbed episodes.
[3]
In March 2001, Funimation announced the return of Dragon Ball to American
television, featuring a new English version produced in-house with slightly less editing for broadcast (though the
episodes remained uncut for home video releases), and they notably left the original background music intact, which
was met with delight from fans.
[2][4]
The re-dubbed episodes aired on Cartoon Network from August 20, 2001
[5]
to
December 1, 2003. Funimation also broadcast the series on Colours TV and their own Funimation Channel starting
in 2006.
[6]
This English dub was also broadcast in Australia and New Zealand. In Canada and Europe, an alternative
dubbed version was produced by AB Groupe (in association with Blue Water Studios) and was aired in those
territories instead of the Funimation version.
Funimation began releasing their in-house dub to Region 1 DVD box sets on March 18, 2003. Each box set,
spanning an entire saga of the series, included the English and Japanese audio tracks with optional English subtitles,
and uncut video and audio. However, they were unable to release the first thirteen episodes at the time, due to
Lionsgate Entertainment holding the licensing rights to their previous dub of the same episodes, having acquired
them from Trimark after the company became defunct. After Lionsgate's license to the first thirteen episodes expired
in 2009, Funimation remastered and re-released the complete Dragon Ball series to DVD in five individual uncut
season box sets, with the first set released on September 15, 2009 and the final set released on July 27, 2010.
Dragon Ball used two pieces of theme music for the entire series. "Makafushigi Adventure!" by Hiroki Takahashi is
used as the series opening theme, and Ushio Hashimoto's "Romantic Ageru Yo" is used as the ending theme.

granting "dragon god", Shenron (Shenlong). Before Goku's grandfather died, he gave him a Dragon Ball with four stars in it: the Four-Star Ball (Si
Xing Qui). Bulma, already possessing two of the balls, decides to let Goku "join her on a fun adventure" so she can borrow his strength and Dragon

turtle hermit Master Roshi, and as a reward for helping his sea turtle, he gives Goku a flying cloud called the Flying Nimbus. Master Roshi himself
cannot ride the cloud, because only good and pure people can. Bulma can't ride it either, but Goku can. Roshi also gives Bulma the Three-Star Ball
(San Xing Qui), not knowing what it is. When Master Roshi returns to his island, he finds Pilaf and his two henchmen searching his house for the

tail. Yamcha and Bulma decide to go back to West City together, with Puar and Oolong tagging along. Goku decides to go find the turtle hermit to

he runs it in 8 seconds. Master Roshi dazzles them by running it in 5.6 seconds. Then he gives them their final test for the day. He makes a mark on

stone of his own, but Roshi sees through the lie. Goku finds the stone, but Krillin steals it and runs away. Goku catches up, and the two of them

eight months, they will be competing in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. This encouraging thought is enough to drive Goku and Krillin
through the end of their milk delivery. Once the delivery ends, Master Roshi tells them that they will be delivering milk every day until the

fighting for prize money to buy water for his village. Nam hits Ranfan and she starts to cry, but the crying is just an act. She takes advantage of
Nam's hesitation and quickly attacks. When Nam is able to defend her attacks easily, she takes off her clothes to distract him. Jackie Chun begins

guard, then punches him. Goku responds with a furious attack and throws Giran out of the ring. Giran reveals that he can fly, and he lands safely
back in bounds. He then spits rock-hard gum onto Goku, paralyzing him. He throws Goku out of the ring, but Goku calls the flying Nimbus Cloud

fly away from each other. The announcer asks them to slowly reenact what happened. Jackie Chun tried to kick Krillin, but he dodged it and then
tried to land a punch, but Jackie spit at him. Krillin countered this with his own spit. Then they played janken, which was just a distraction, allowing
Jackie to kick Krillin in the face. After the reenactment, Krillin distracts Jackie with a pair of panties, then kicks him far out of the ring. Jackie uses
a Kamehameha wave to blast himself back into the ring. Then he uses the after-image technique to distract Krillin, allowing him to land a powerful
kick, which knocks Krillin out. After the match, Yamcha, thinking that Jackie Chun is Master Roshi, tries to pull his wig off, but can't. Even though
it seems like Jackie Chun is Master Roshi, no one can prove it.

just like Nam. Once Nam lands, Goku kicks him out of the ring. Afterwards, Nam packs up to leave, but Jackie Chun stops him. He gives him a
dyno capsule that can be used for storage. Nam asks Jackie how he knew about his water problem, and Jackie says that he read his mind. Nam
realizes that Jackie Chun is Master Roshi, but Jackie keeps him quiet. He explains that he is fighting undercover to beat Goku and Krillin. He
doesn't want them to think that they're the strongest in the world if they win the tournament and stop trying to improve their skills afterwards. Nam
then does Jackie a favor by dressing up like Master Roshi and standing in the crowd. Yamcha sees him, and no longer thinks that Jackie Chun is

then begins staggering wildly around the ring. With his unpredictable movements, he begins beating up Goku. Yamcha tells Goku that he's using the

blocks them. Goku tries it again and this time tricks him by saying "paper", but throwing rock. Jackie decides to use an attack that he's only ever
used once before: the Lightning Flash Surprise attack. He gathers his energy and shoots it at Goku. This energy is transformed into 20,000 volts
when it hits Goku. Just as Goku is about to give up, he glimpses the moon and transforms into a gigantic ape again. Knowing that he must stop

continue fighting. When the match resumes, Jackie Chun attempts to fire another Kamehameha wave at Goku, but he finds that he doesn't have the

List of Dragon Ball Z episodes
Dragon Ball Z ( m Z( ) Doragon Bru Zetto, commonly abbreviated as DBZ) is the
long-running anime sequel to the Dragon Ball TV series, adapted from the final twenty-six volumes of the Dragon
Ball manga written by Akira Toriyama. The manga portion of the series debuted in Weekly Shnen Jump in 1988 and
lasted until 1995; the anime adaptation premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on April 26, 1989, taking over its
predecessor's time slot, and ran until its conclusion on January 31, 1996, lasting 291 episodes in Japan, and 276
episodes in the United States originally, although all 291 episodes were later broadcast when content from the first
67 episodes was restored.
Dragon Ball Z uses four pieces of theme music in the Japanese version. From episodes 1-199, the opening theme is
"Cha-La Head-Cha-La" by Hironobu Kageyama, and the closing theme is "Detekoi Tobikiri Zenkai Paw!" by
MANNA. From episodes 200-291, the opening and closing themes are "WE GOTTA POWER" and "Boku-Tachi wa
Tenshi Datta," both by Hironobu Kageyama.
English dub history
From left to right, Dragon Ball Z voice actors
Chris Sabat, Sean Schemmel and Justin Cook, at
the 2011 New York Comic Con.
In 1995, Funimation Entertainment licensed Dragon Ball Z for an
English-language release in the United States. They contracted Saban
Entertainment to help finance and distribute the series to television,
Pioneer Entertainment to handle home video distribution, Ocean
Productions to dub the anime, and Shuki Levy to compose an alternate
musical score. This dub of Dragon Ball Z was heavily edited for
content, as well as length; reducing the first 67 episodes into 53.
[1]
The
series premiered in the U.S. on September 13, 1996 in first-run
syndication, but was cancelled after two seasons due to low ratings.
On August 31, 1998, however, the same cancelled dubbed episodes
began airing on Cartoon Network as part of the channel's Toonami
programming block, where the series received much more popularity.
Soon after, Funimation, having dissolved their partnership with Saban and Pioneer, continued dubbing and
distributing the series by themselves, now using their own in-house voice cast, a new musical score composed by
Bruce Faulconer, and less editing due to fewer restrictions on cable programming.
[2]
Dragon Ball Z was now in full
production in the U.S. and the new dub of the series aired on Cartoon Network from September 13, 1999 to April 7,
2003.
The Funimation dubbed episodes also aired in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium,
Australia, and New Zealand. However, beginning with episode 108, Westwood Media (in association with Ocean
Productions) produced an alternate English dub. The alternate dub was broadcast in the UK, the Netherlands,
Ireland, and Canada, while Funimation's dub continued to air in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. In 2004,
Pioneer lost its distribution rights to the first 53/67 episodes of Dragon Ball Z, allowing Funimation to re-dub them
with their in-house voice cast and restore the removed content. These re-dubbed episodes aired on Cartoon Network
in the U.S. during the summer of 2005.
[3][4]
In 2006, Funimation remastered the episodes in 16:9 widescreen format and then began re-releasing the series to
Region 1 DVD in nine individual season box sets. The first set was released on February 6, 2007; the final set on
May 19, 2009. In July 2009, Funimation announced that they would again be re-releasing Dragon Ball Z in a new
seven-volume DVD set called "Dragon Box Z", which was previously released in Japan as a two-volume set. Based
on the original series masters with frame-by-frame restoration, the episodes are uncut and, unlike the previous season
box sets, are presented in 4:3 fullscreen format. The first set was released on November 10, 2009; the final set was

released on October 11, 2011.
[5]
In July 2011, Funimation announced plans to release Dragon Ball Z in Blu-ray format. Dragon Ball Z Level 1.1,
containing the first 17 episodes, was released on November 8, 2011.
[6][7][8]
Episode list
A note on the "Season" nomenclature:
The "seasons" that comprise the following list correspond to the remastered box sets released by FUNimation from
2007 to 2009. However, these "seasons" only correspond to story arcs (which are themselves split at debatable
points), and not to the pattern in which the show actually aired in either Japan or the United States.
In Japan, Dragon Ball Z (like both of the other Dragon Ball series) was aired year-round continuously, with regular
pre-emptions for sporting events and television specials taking place about once every six weeks on average.
Only when the series was broadcast in the United States was the series split into the standard seasonal cycle of new
episodes followed by repeats followed by new episodes. The series was broadcast in eight separate near-continuous
blocks (1-35, 36-67, 68-107, 108-116, 117-194, 195-237, 238-276, and 277-291), with breaks varying between four
months to over a year between each block. In only one instance (between episodes 194 and 195) was there actually
parity between the DVD release and the actual broadcast sequence in terms of the end of one "season" and the
beginning of the next.

Five years have passed since Goku's victory at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. Goku's son, Gohan, is wandering around the woods
outside of his house when a tiger steals his hat. While he's looking for the tiger, he accidentally falls into a river. Goku, searching for his son, finds
his hat. He suddenly sees Gohan floating down a river, but he can't reach him in time before he goes over a waterfall. Goku looks up and sees
Gohan clinging to a branch, having somehow jumped out of the river. With Gohan safe, they head to Master Roshi's house. Meanwhile, a
mysterious alien has arrived on Earth looking for a man named Kakarrot. With a special device he wears on his head, he searches for high power
levels on Earth. He finds Piccolo, whose attack is completely ineffective. The alien is about to devastate Piccolo when he finds a higher power level
and flies off.

Goku and Gohan arrive at Master Roshi's island to meet Bulma, Krillin, Master Roshi, and Turtle. Quickly the others notice the difference between
Gohan's behavior and that of Goku as a child. Goku informs his friends that Chichi refuses to allow Gohan to fight, instead he studies constantly.
The same mysterious alien arrives at the island and reveals himself: he is a Saiyan warrior named Raditz, and he is Goku's older brother. He also
reveals that Goku's real Saiyan name is Kakarrot. Goku learns that he was sent to destroy all life on Earth, but his memory loss from a terrible fall as
a child prevented this outcome. Raditz came to Earth to get Goku to join him and the other two remaining Saiyans, and he won't accept a refusal.

even he could stop his brother's power. Even though he's no match for him, Goku will do whatever it takes to save his son. Krillin and Roshi
volunteer to join Goku and save Gohan, however Goku refuses. He tells them that once the Eternal Dragon grants a wish, he will not grant it again,
hence the two cannot be resurrected again. Suddenly, Piccolo appears and proposes that he and Goku team up in order to stop Raditz. He had seen
Raditz's power while the Saiyan was looking for Goku, and he knows that neither of them are a match for this alien. Raditz returns to the location of
his landing pod, leaving Gohan in the pod. His eye piece detects a large power level coming from Gohan, but ignores it thinking that it's
malfunctioning. Using the Dragon Radar to find Gohan (with a Dragon Ball on his hat) and Raditz, Goku and Piccolo arrive and shed their
equipment, unknowingly raising their power levels.

Both get injured and Piccolo even loses an arm. However, Piccolo has an idea that might beat him: the Special Beam Cannon, his newest and most
powerful technique. But, he has to power up to make it work. He requires five minutes to gather the strength, and Goku does his best to give him
that. Despite the fact that the two drastically raise their power levels with heavy concentration, they do not manage to defeat Raditz using their
attacks. Suddenly, Goku does manage to grab Raditz's tail, instantly weakening him. Raditz surrenders, Goku releases his tail, however Raditz
quickly attacks Goku again elbowing him in the face and crushing his chest. As Raditz prepares to kill Goku, he suddenly picks up an enormous
power level coming from Gohan.

Saiyan. However, Gohan's power disappears as quickly as it surfaced, leaving him defenseless against his father's attacker who quickly hits Gohan
knocking him out. Raditz intends to kill Gohan, who he views as the only person capable of defeating them. In a last-ditch effort to save his son,
Goku gets Raditz in a hold that leaves both of them open to Piccolo's ultimate technique. Goku urges Piccolo to use it, even if it costs his own life.
Piccolo then starts to wonder whether or not he should use it. Despite Raditz's pleas for mercy, Piccolo lets loose his attack, which kills both Goku
and Raditz. Thinking they've already won, Piccolo tells Raditz (who's slowly dying) about the dragon balls. Once he's heard everything, Raditz tells
Piccolo that his eyepiece is also a transmitter and that in one year's time, two more Saiyans, more powerful than Raditz, will arrive on Earth to
avenge his murder. Goku lives to see Bulma, Roshi and Krillin arrive and hear that Gohan is alive, but thereafter dies, his body taken by Kami. Far
away in another planet, Napa and Vegeta plan to visit Earth and wish for immortality using the Dragon Balls.

energy and must continue on foot. Piccolo decides to take Gohan under his wing, with the hope of tapping into his hidden power. Piccolo awakens

assumes that Vegeta is dead, he makes him go back and find Vegeta. Zarbon arrives at their battle site, pulls Vegeta out of the water, and brings him

Zarbon away from the five Dragon Balls. He goes into the main control room that contains the Dragon Balls, blasts a hole in the ship, and escapes.
Furious over the loss of the Dragon Balls, Frieza orders Zarbon to find Vegeta and the Dragon Balls in one hour, or he will die. Vegeta finds a
suitable hiding spot for the five Dragon Balls. He knows that Frieza and his henchmen have no scouters and can't sense energy signals, so they
won't be able to find the five balls without combing the entire surface of the planet.

injury, and Vegeta makes short work of him. He then takes Krillin's Dragon Ball back to where he hid the other five. Meanwhile, Goku's ship hits a

power. Upon hearing this, Android 16 tells 18 that she must leave immediately, as Vegeta may let Cell go. Krillin's emotions finally get the best of
him, and he destroys the controller in front of 18, just as Vegeta lets Cell go and find 18. Trunks, fearful of what would happen, intervenes and

several minutes powering up for the attack, crumbling the surrounding landscape as he does so. As he prepares to launch it, he challenges Cell to
stay right where he is and take on his attack. He launches it, and it proves very effective, demolishing Cell's right arm, and a large portion of the
right side of his torso. Vegeta begins laughing but his celebration is quickly cut short when Cell reminds Vegeta that he possesses Piccolo's

an incredibly powerful Kamehameha wave. Luckily, Goku is able to direct it away from the planet, and teleport back to the ring.

The battle between Goku and Cell continues to heat up. Both of them seem to have even strength and speed. After Goku nearly falls out of the ring,
Cell decides to destroy the ring and continue the fight with no rules. With nothing restricting them, the battle quickly intensifies, and as they fight,
their power seems to increase. As they fight on, Goku decides to attempt to trick Cell by preparing a Kamehameha wave from up in the air. Cell
doesn't believe that Goku would risk destroying the Earth, and so does nothing to defend himself. As the other fighters look on in horror, believing
that Goku will release it from the air, Goku uses his Instant Transmission technique, and appears directly beneath Cell. He unleashes the wave
directly into Cell's chest, and when the dust clears, Cell is severely maimed. It appears that Goku has won the tournament.

As the dust clears, Cell's mangled body becomes visible. While the rest of the Z Fighters believe that they've won, Goku thinks differently. He
senses that something isn't right when he can still feel a large amount of energy in what's left of Cell's body. Suddenly, Cell's body stands up, to the
horror of virtually everybody, and regenerates the missing parts. Cell's energy has been depleted by the attack, but Goku's energy has been depleted
more severely, and as the battle continues, it becomes clear that Goku is no match for Cell. Knowing that he cannot win, he declares that Cell is the
winner. The Z Fighters, and Cell, can't believe it.

amazing strength to save Goku. He also tells Cell about the time he had to do the same thing to save Krillin from Frieza. Instead of being scared by
this, Cell is intrigued, and is determined to push Gohan to his limit so he can test himself against this awesome strength.

protests that Gohan must destroy Cell now. Cell regenerates himself, and becomes enraged, and powers up to an extreme power level, but makes the
same mistake that Trunks did, and is unable to hit Gohan due to his size. Gohan then delivers several crushing blows to Cell, including a kick to his

Meanwhile, Shin reveals to Piccolo that he is the Supreme Kai. He gives him no more details, but tells Piccolo to keep it a secret.

all to the ship. He privately informs Babidi that Vegeta has a terrible rage burning inside him, and that he could be made to serve their purposes.
Meanwhile, Goten and Trunks see Videl flying back to the stadium, and she tells them all about what's happening. Excited at the prospect of seeing

has turned evil. Babidi transports them all back to the World Martial Arts stadium where he instructs Vegeta to kill his friends. Vegeta refuses, as he
apparently has not lost complete control of his mind. He says that his only goal is to fight Goku. To bait Goku into fighting him, Vegeta destroys

Goku refuses to fight Vegeta, so Vegeta destroys another part of the stadium. To avoid any further casualties, Goku reluctantly agrees to fight. The
Supreme Kai tries to stop him, but he sees that it is no use. Goku tells Babidi to transport them far away from people, and the wizard obliges. The
Supreme Kai and Gohan decide to break into the next level of the ship and try and stop Babidi. To avoid this, Babidi commands Vegeta to kill the
Supreme kai, but Vegeta refuses. Though Babidi is possessing him, Vegeta can only focus on one thing: fighting Goku. Goku gives Gohan one of
the last two senzu beans before he and the Supreme Kai go further into the ship. Vegeta and Goku power themselves up to their maximum level,

becoming a Super Saiyan first, and how insulting it was to be surpassed in power by the child Gohan. Goku is able to break free, and the battle
resumes with crushing force. Meanwhile, Gohan and the Supreme Kai have made it all the way to Buu's ball, but Babidi and Dabora are waiting for

by Babidi. He had seen what it had done to Spopovich and Yamu, and he wanted the power for himself. He also says that he wanted Babidi to
reawaken the evil in his heart. Over the years, he had become like a normal person; he had a wife and a son, and thought the earth was a nice place
to live. He wanted Babidi's magic to free him from "those petty attachments", but Goku doesn't believe him. Meanwhile, before Gohan and the
supreme kai can stop Babidi, Buu has finally gathered enough energy, and has begun to hatch.

steam begins to congeal. It forms into Majin Buu. Instead of a fearsome beast, Buu is a fat, pink child, but the supreme kai knows that it is really
Majin Buu and not something else. Goku and Vegeta have noticed the sudden upsurge in power, and realize that Buu has been hatched.

and notice the "statues" of Piccolo and Krillin. Trunks accidentally breaks the Piccolo statue. As Buu is preparing to eat Shin, Dabora suddenly
throws a spear through him. Dabura warns Babidi that he will soon lose control of Buu and his monster will turn on him. Babidi doesn't believe him,

emaciated weakling. Finally, the two are perfectly in sync, and make Gotenks. Piccolo tells him to wait thirty minutes for the fusion to wear off so
they can try it as Super Saiyans. Gotenks thinks he's powerful enough already and takes off to find Majin Buu. He is able to get some hits in on the
monster, but when Buu steps up the intensity, Gotenks is no match and is easily defeated. Meanwhile, on the world of the Kais, the Elder Kai
continues the long ceremony needed to awaken Gohan's hidden power.

monster. It cuts off his legs and part of his head. His legs give Tien a crushing kick, and then return to Buu. Goku throws Gohan the other earring,
but his aim is off. Goku goes Super Saiyan 3 to hold off Super Buu while Gohan serches for the earring. Suddenly, Gotenks' fusion wears off, and
Buu loses most of his power. To make up for this, the part of Buu's head that was cut off suddenly engulfs Gohan, just like Piccolo and Gotenks. He

Arts Tournament. These wishes are granted, and even Vegeta himself comes back to life. He finally reveals the main part of his plan to destroy Buu:
the Spirit Bomb.

The people of earth come back to life, including the Z Fighters and their friends. Goku gets into position to create the Spirit Bomb, and with the
help of King Kai, Vegeta speaks to the entire population of earth. He tells them what's going on, and that to defeat Buu, they need to raise their
hands up and offer their energy. Only Goku and Vegeta's family and friends comply. No one else is willing to listen to a mysterious voice from the
sky. Vegeta repeatedly pleads with the earthlings, but to no avail. While this is going on, old Buu is buying them time by fighting Kid Buu, but it's
not going well. Goku hasn't gathered nearly enough energy to destroy Buu.

Vegeta continues to plead with the people of earth, but no one will listen to him. Old Buu has finally lost all of his energy, so Vegeta is forced to
fight Kid Buu. He is no match for him, and gets pounded. Now Goku asks the earthlings to raise up their arms, and small pockets of people who
recognize his voice do so, but the vast majority remain uninterested. Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks spread out into the city, hoping to convince
people to raise their arms. Hercule has finally had enough, and he speaks to the people of earth. When they hear the familiar voice of the World
Champion, all of the people of earth raise their arms and offer their energy. The Spirit Bomb is finally ready.

Goku is ready to throw the Spirit Bomb, but Vegeta is in the way, and, despite Vegeta's pleas otherwise, he refuses to take out Vegeta along with
Buu. Suddenly, old Buu gets up and holds Kid Buu down long enough for Hercule to pull Vegeta to safety. Old Buu is kicked aside, and Goku
throws the Spirit Bomb. It hits Kid Buu, but he starts pushing it back. Goku uses all of the energy he has trying to push it back into Kid Buu, but
Buu is too powerful. Vegeta suddenly remembers that they still have a third wish with Porunga. He instructs Dende to wish for Goku's power to be
normal again. The wish is granted, and Goku is able to force the Spirit Bomb back at Majin Buu. As he does so, he silently wishes that Buu had
been a better person, and hopes to fight him some day in the future. The Spirit Bomb hits with full force, driving Buu into the ground. Majin Buu is
finally dead.

The Supreme Kai brings Dende back to the world of the Kais. Dende heals Vegeta and Goku. Hercule finds the body of old Buu, and asks Dende to
heal him. Vegeta won't let him, and plans to destroy him. He says it is too dangerous for any form of Majin Buu to exist, but Hercule continues to
plead with him. Goku takes Hercule's side, explaining to Vegeta that it was old Buu who saved Vegeta's life right before Goku threw the Spirit
Bomb. Vegeta reluctantly agrees, and Majin Buu is healed. Supreme Kai takes them all back to Dende's lookout, where they reunite with friends
and family. Goku tells his family that Elder Kai gave him his life, so he can stay on earth for good. Six months later, they use their remaining wish
with Shenron, asking him to erase the memory of Majin Buu from the mind of everyone on earth, so that the good Buu can assimilate into society.
Life finally returns to normal on earth.

be found. Frustrated, Chi Chi and the boys leave without him. While everyone's having a good time at the party, Goku is out on a mountaintop,
looking after some eggs that are ready to hatch. He protects them from the storm and from predators. After they hatch, he finally arrives at the party,

Ten years have passed and many of the Z fighters have made changes. Gohan has become a scholar, and Trunks and Goten have become teenagers.
Goku is training with Goten when Bulma and Vegeta, who have a new daughter, show up after not seeing him in five years. Goku says that he and
Goten will be entering the World Martial Arts Tournament, so Vegeta says that he and Trunks will do the same. The day of the tournament comes,
and old friends catch up. Everyone has arrived to watch. Gohan, who is now married to Videl, has decided not to enter, but his daughter, Pan, will
fight. Since there is no junior division, she will be fighting with the adults. Hercule and Buu will be fighting, however, and Goku says that there is
someone who is 100% human that can threaten to beat Goku and Vegeta.

The seeding draw for the tournament begins, and Goku has Majin Buu use his magic to rig it so that he faces the powerful mystery fighter he had
talked about. In the first match, Pan faces Wild Tiger, and the four-year-old easily dispatches with him. Next up is Goku vs. Uub. Uub is the
reincarnation of Buu. King Yemma apparently heard Goku's wish right before Buu was destroyed, and he reincarnated Buu as a good person named
Uub. Uub is apprehensive, so to bait him into fighting, Goku resorts to taunting the young boy. After a particularly nasty insult and a kick to the
face, Uub has snapped, and is now ready to fight.

Goku and Uub begin to fight, and it's clear that Uub doesn't know much about fighting. But as the match goes on, he learns more and more, and is
able to go toe to toe with Goku. Uub nearly falls out of the ring, but Goku saves him from hitting the ground. He realizes that Uub doesn't even
know how to fly, so he decides to live with Uub in his village and train him. Despite his friends and family pleading with him to stay, he flies away
with Uub. Goku decides to train Uub to defend the earth when he's gone. He hopes one day, when Uub's training is complete, to have a real all-out
match with him to test their power. At the tournament, many battles rage on. Goten vs the Fat Majin Buu, Trunks vs a man who appears to make
him uncomfortable, just as much as everybody else of the Z-Fighters participating in the tournament wins as well. And it even seems that Pan wins.
Goku enjoys his journey by the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Dragon Ball GT is the final anime series in the Dragon Ball franchise and a sequel show to the Dragon Ball Z anime
series.
[1]
Produced by Toei Animation, the series premiered in Japan on Fuji TV on February 2, 1996, spanning 64
episodes until its conclusion on November 19, 1997. Unlike the other anime series in the Dragon Ball franchise,
Dragon Ball GT is not based on the manga series written by Akira Toriyama, but the same characters are used.
Funimation Entertainment licensed the series for an English language Region 1 DVD release and broadcast in the
United States. Funimation's English dub of the series aired on Cartoon Network from September 20, 1999 to
December 16, 1999. The original television broadcast skipped the first 16 episodes of the series. Instead, Funimation
created a composition episode entitled "A Grand Problem," which used scenes from the skipped episodes to
summarize the story. The skipped episodes were later shown on Cartoon Network as "The Lost Episodes" after the
original broadcast concluded. The series was later released to DVD in the Season set form. The first set was released
on December 9, 2005,
[2]
and the second set was released on February 10, 2006.
[3]
A "Complete Series" DVD box set
was later released on September 21, 2010.
[4]
AB Groupe (in association with Blue Water Studios) developed an
alternate dub for Europe and Canada and was aired on YTV and Toonami UK, which divided the episodes into two
seasons instead of sagas.
[5][6]
Funimation's English dub began re-airing in the U.S. on Nicktoons on January 16,
2009.
[7]
Dragon Ball GT uses five pieces of theme music. Field of View performs the series opening theme, "Dan Dan
Kokoro Hikareteku" (DAN DAN E ), which is used for all 64 episodes. "Hitori Janai" (
6 ), performed by Deen, is used for the ending theme for the first 26 episodes. Starting at episode 27, the
series begins using Zard's "Don't You See!" for the ending theme. Episode 42 marks the next ending theme change,
with "Blue Velvet" by Shizuka Kud being used. "Sabitsuita Mashingan de Ima o Uchinuk" (F
5 Q = E - ), performed by Wands, is introduced as an ending theme in episode 51. It
was used as the ending theme for the remainder of the series, except for the final episode which reuses the opening
theme for the series as the ending theme.
