R.I.P Akira Toriyama for this legendary anime that opened doors for so many coming after and I know every 90’s kid wanted to go super saiyan Thanks for making my childhood legendary From A 30 yr old fan Fly high ❤🐉
And this is why my favorite DBZ character is PRE-teen Gohan. I don't really care for teen and adult Gohan. Though in the very beginning I wanted to kill him. His CRYING and WHINING! Then he got better in the Freeza saga! Also I love Vageta, but that's no surprise.
Why didn't they do anything else with Gohan? It could've been pretty cool to have Goku and Gohan on about the same level. Especially looking at Gohan in Super, it would be much cooler; imagine an Ultra Instinct Gohan!
Me in 60 years Grandson: "Grandpa, who is Goku?" Me: " Come and take a seat, my boy, let me tell you one of the greatest adventures of my life." *Sheds A Tear* Lol
I'm 23, and I have 2 brothers, 18 and 14, and they grew up the same way I did! and believe me 2 years ago we rewatched the all saga together. DB, DBZ, DBGT, and DBZkai now, awesome memories!... and I know for sure that's how I'm going to raise my kids!!!! even if I make girls, I don't give a fuck, they will be fighters! :P
Heck yeah, dude! I'm a girl and I've always been into this show! I love watching it with my dad even to this day! And wow 7 years ago... Do you have any kids now? How's that working out for you? :O
I love how they just figured everyone watching this at this point knows the story, so they didnt give a damn about spoiling everything in the intro your gonna watch anyways
The year's 2009 and you just got home, you were alone, you hope onto your couch/bed and turn on the TV and see it's prime time, you watch Dragon Ball Z Kai
@@neverforgettodofacepulls782 Did you not watch the arc? Piccolo was stronger than Vegeta after he fused with Kami. Vegeta only surpassed him after he trained in the chamber.
Years ago, I memorized this whole song just so I could sing it whenever it came on. Even now, I still remember the words... This song will forever be my favorite from the Dragon Ball franchise.
When he said “I’ll give you strength, you give me love that’s how we’ll live” that hit different. I don’t really like Kai but damn the opening is flawless.
I remember I used to love sonic and I had cable, so when sonic stopped coming up this came up and my older brother told me that it was sonic, idk how or why but I fell for it and fell in love with dbz ever since. This is my childhood.
Rip Akira. Rip to a man who came from a generation who wasn't afraid to run wild and express their confrontational spirit loudly and with their chest out. Back when we saw man land on the moon, we saw the Vietnam war, we saw the formation of a new Church council, the fall of the USSR, and the rise of the internet as we know it today, and many more marvels that rival only those of the ancients. Truly, Akira came from a privileged generation. A generation where every little boy that was born wanted one thing, and one thing only. To be a man. To be uncompromising, to run wild, to go where they want, when they wanted, to leave their mark on the world. A generation that had the likes of Bruce Lee, Ali, Bolo Yeung, Van Damme, Schwarzenegger, Duran, Stallone, Oyama, and so many others. These are but a few of the men that shaped this era, and but a few sources of influence that turned Akira's generation into the men they were. All of these had one thing in common. An indomitable spirit, and a love for true combat. A love for legacy, a love for conflict, and a love for life. These were men who were not afraid to wear their devotions on their sleeve, truly, they carried on their shoulders the spirit of giants. It was this spirit of adventure, legacy, and combat that Akira so perfectly came to encapsulate in DBZ. The spirit of mankind, the spirit of the dragon. So many young boys looked up to Goku wanting to be him, not knowing that in reality, they were looking into a mirror of the past. Looking into Akira's own spirit, and the spirit of so many men like him from his generation. Though many have now come to abandon these ideals and this child like wonder, the love for adventure, and have rejected the spirit of masculinity, and in turn the spirit of mankind, Akira's work is proof that there is no reason to worry. Everyone may focus on the "Mr.Satans" of the world, in terms of image and ideology, but a handful carry in their hearts and souls the spirit of dragons and giants. It is to these handful of men that Akira made DBZ for. Thank you Akira, for everything.
bruh as an 8 year old I always thought that random dude with the cape on the tower looked so cool. I think the moment I realized it was Gohan was also the moment he became my favorite character
When I was a kid I rememeber saying “that dude with a cape looks so cool” then like a month later after rewatching the saiyan saga a shit ton I remember saying “dude with a cape is gohan???”
My 11-year-old sister and 8-year-old brother are watching this. I will spend those hundreds of dollars so that they can partially experience bits of my childhood. I am 21.
Um yeah I used to watch this back in 2009-2010 when I was in 1st grade with my brother every Saturday Morning at 10am. I’ll be turning 18 this year and literally I just wanna go back like damn
The good old days even though I wasn’t the biggest fan of DBZ back in the day and I wasn’t born when the earliest Dragon Ball series were out and I just started watching Dragon Ball Super about two years ago I’m learning something new every day that’s why am watching Dragon Ball from the beginning just to make sure I understand everything clearly

0:34 seeing gohan ssj with that cape standing on that point gives me chills idk why
Great Saiyaman foreshadowing xD
Cool
You definitely aren't the only one lol I get chills everytime
If you don't get goosebumps seeing Gohan staring into the distance as the sun shows itself, you ain't a real fan ; )
Then I'm not a real fan lol
It happens to me lol
Hell yeah I did
I know this is a joke, but kinda this sounds like elitism
It literally happened to me as I read this comment and when that shot showed up.
I love this theme, and remember it from my childhood.
*Pure raw unadulterated nostalgia*
thumbs up if u love the part where vegeta and trunks turn super saiyan

I won't lie this pretty catchy
True
Oh sup Mote, did expect to see you when I'm taking a trip down memory lane
True
This a whole fuckin banger
I got this played somehow at middle school prom and I tried to go ssj
Love how Gohan is lowkey the center of this intro!
Well he was supposed to become the main character so yea makes sense
And this is why my favorite DBZ character is PRE-teen Gohan. I don't really care for teen and adult Gohan. Though in the very beginning I wanted to kill him. His CRYING and WHINING! Then he got better in the Freeza saga! Also I love Vageta, but that's no surprise.
Airi Rose he’s only a preteen in anime he did his awesome stuff at 9 in manga why did the anime make him older
And that is why the cell saga is my favorite plus future trunks
Why didn't they do anything else with Gohan? It could've been pretty cool to have Goku and Gohan on about the same level. Especially looking at Gohan in Super, it would be much cooler; imagine an Ultra Instinct Gohan!
@@isgamer-8732 because 9 year olds worship pewdiepie so they can't let him have this much power
Teen misryc gohan was good
0:42 idk why but 16 dodging Cells tail was always so cool to me
Same here
Me in 60 years
Grandson: "Grandpa, who is Goku?"
Me: " Come and take a seat, my boy, let me tell you one
of the greatest adventures of my life."
*Sheds A Tear*
Lol
i'll tell him the story of son goku from the pod to other world
Man makes me wanna cry. Hope I can show my kids and grandkids DBZ Kai
Lol, story of Vegeta would be better!
@@itstallguy1416 i would like to see dbz from vegeta’s perspective
You better start from Dragon Ball otherwise your not a real fan. lol
The pictures of the androids gives me chills even to this day
EXACTLY!!
Still the best theme for dragonball
Second best for the English dub. Rock the Dragon takes the lead. But Limit Break X Survivor in Japanese is my favorite DB theme.
I'm 23, and I have 2 brothers, 18 and 14, and they grew up the same way I did! and believe me 2 years ago we rewatched the all saga together.

I need an answer, did you watch Super together?
Bro your 31 now jesus ur old
Wow eight years ago..
9 years, jeez
0:37 - 0:47 the way it portrays Gohan !!! 🔥

people need to stop bashing dbz Kai its awesome and has better graphics
Better animation you mean
+Mr Dbznerd only thing I don't like about Kai is they cut Garlic Jr Saga and The Other World Tournament. Those were some of the best parts of DBZ imo.
+Michael Marriott That was filler.
I still liked them.
And better voice acting.
I miss the old gohan and the old goku :,(
diego villamizar I still love Goku but I also miss old Goku too when he was more serious
@@coluurs5660 Goku was never really serious to begin with
@@aloysius138 yeah but now in super he sounds like a childish asshole
DeJay uh huh😐
True. He sounds more goofy in dbs lol
this is my childhood
0:40 vegeta got knocked tf out
LOL
Yet piccolo is somehow doing a better job fighting.
@@neverforgettodofacepulls782 Did you not watch the arc? Piccolo was stronger than Vegeta after he fused with Kami. Vegeta only surpassed him after he trained in the chamber.
Also Future Trunks got a huge boost in power after exiting the time chamber
🤣
Goku: what u doing up there son
Gohan: its called being a badass
Goku: wtf did u just say
Damn this is an old comment
Lmao thats hella funny
This brings back memories
And This is where my Dragon Ball Journey Started...
Years ago, I memorized this whole song just so I could sing it whenever it came on. Even now, I still remember the words... This song will forever be my favorite from the Dragon Ball franchise.

RIP LEGEND
Vic’s rendition of the introduction was exceptionally impressive.
After all these years it’s still so great and nostalgic
I miss this so much and i want to watch the episode so bad and bring back so many memories
The amount of hype I felt seeing ssj gohan with piccolos attire
When he said “I’ll give you strength, you give me love that’s how we’ll live” that hit different. I don’t really like Kai but damn the opening is flawless.
I remember I used to love sonic and I had cable, so when sonic stopped coming up this came up and my older brother told me that it was sonic, idk how or why but I fell for it and fell in love with dbz ever since. This is my childhood.
Best version of the intro
Looking back to it... this series was absolutely amazing
Vic never disappoints us with this opening number!!
Man i remember going so insane seeing gohan on top of kami’s lookout man

Man, this was the og, the good days, I remember waking up in the morning with my cereal and just enjoying the experience. Damn I miss those days...
Saturday mornings cw
this is literally how i got into anime bruh that shit is crazy all those years ago
0:34 favorite part when i was younger
I remember me and my brother used to watch dbz and dbkai when we was young ;) DONT STOP DONT STOP WATCHING DBZ
Me and my sister did that and when I rewatched we did it too lol
Gohan standing here looking like a *pillar of hope*
Love this song
Gohan is so svage as a pre teen
This intro was so hype when I was younger.
My fav opening in dbz kai
Tears flow down my cheeks. I miss when cable tv was this lit.
10 years ago I watched DBZ Kai cell saga with my 3 brothers.
Coming back to sing Dragon Soul and see the opening gives me nice nostalgia.
TFS version: Mr. Popo cuts the music off and tells Gohan to get down.
Popo: Gohan, What the fuck are you doing up there? This isn't some anime intro, get down.... *Don't make me come and get you.*
Best Dbz Intro hands down
Man Saturday mornings used to be the best I really miss the old days🥺🥺🥺😢
2022 and I’m still here
POV: its 2021 and you are sad
Gohan looked freakin awesome just standing there
Teen gohan is my favorite dbz character because of the cell saga and the fact he became ssj2 before goku u can even search it up.
they had no reason to make this opening slap so hard
Bro how comes we never paid attention to gohan in this it was really Foreshadowing
I’m still tight about how dirty they did adult Gohan 🤦🏻♂️
bruh as an 8 year old I always thought that random dude with the cape on the tower looked so cool. I think the moment I realized it was Gohan was also the moment he became my favorite character
When I was a kid I rememeber saying “that dude with a cape looks so cool” then like a month later after rewatching the saiyan saga a shit ton I remember saying “dude with a cape is gohan???”
I used to perform fight scenes with this playing in the background
I liked it when It was on Cartoon Network
I like the adult swim version intro better than this.
IKR, man that was a long time ago
Matrixmaster 22 same
Dude, Nickelodeon was the og.
Alexis Sanchez I liked when it was on channel 5 during Saturday mornings
Bruh the theme song hits hard to me this is the best vocal theme for kao
Hulu has select TV edited dub episodes
Man i miss my childhood so much !
Throwback
yeah this is the best of the kai intros, number 2 in nicktoons style was just perfect. Doesn't spoil much and just shows cool moments
Gohan fans ate with this one
2019 Nostalgia
Yep
all i got to say is that this is when every one is epic i mean ultimate gohan is good but this gohan is just pure boss
I wish TH-cam reactions where a thing when these first came out they would be amazing seeing people react to ssj Gohan 😭
OH MY GOSH! I remember seeing this opening! THE introduction of the new problem and the introduction of the new solution!
0:30-0:34 give me the chills.
My 11-year-old sister and 8-year-old brother are watching this. I will spend those hundreds of dollars so that they can partially experience bits of my childhood. I am 21.
Now ur 28
@@sendark lol
on Saturday morning I used waiting for db to come on
I’d don’t even watch kai I watched the original but this intro is 🔥
Remember the og days when record the next episode on the dvr
I never really watched DragonBall, but when I was like 5 I always heard this song playing on the TV. Kinda nice hearing it again.
You know those times when the nostalgia is so overwhelming, then you end up just clicking off the video
This right here is what i lived for back in 2007! Waking up early on Saturday mornings at 10 just to watch this!
I remember singing to this song as a kid. It was awesome
Gohan on the lookout is still hype 🤧
Not me being able to recognize Gohan as a kid and vegta as super Saiyan but not knowing who trunks was at the time or the other androids.
The cuts to zoom in onto Gohan really makes this for me
Wow Ed really can sing
Yea this is the opening I remember I knew I was tripping
I miss this show i was 7 years old and this show is not here😢
The Saturday morning nostalgia trip to what seems like an eternity ago
@NeoSSJX That's the aired version. The Blu-ray versions kept it. Also has a different intro entirely, actually.
I never knew who it was standing on kamis lookout, i thought it was a new saiyan lol
Me to
Then i just realize that it was gohan!😂
brings back so much memories
Who else remembers this coming on Saturday mornings?
Stg this show would come on Nicktoons in the morning when I was a kid
This was when the show got REALLY good :D
Um yeah I used to watch this back in 2009-2010 when I was in 1st grade with my brother every Saturday Morning at 10am. I’ll be turning 18 this year and literally I just wanna go back like damn
One of my favourite animes :)
The good old days even though I wasn’t the biggest fan of DBZ back in the day and I wasn’t born when the earliest Dragon Ball series were out and I just started watching Dragon Ball Super about two years ago I’m learning something new every day that’s why am watching Dragon Ball from the beginning just to make sure I understand everything clearly
anyone still listening in 2021?
the nostalgia is strong
