[Reaction spoilers below haha (gonna get a lot of comments about this soon probably, so just getting ahead of that)] Just a heads up, I legit thought for a good while Raditz was Vegeta, because all I really knew about Vegeta was his widows peak and that he says "Kakkarot" a lot LOL
OMGG LITERALLY SAME!! I also recently JUST finished the entire dragon ball series from OG db to DBZ to super! until the very end!! Just like u i watched it in Japanese as well… and when raditz was introduced i genuinely thought he was vegeta as well! Cause thats what i remember from childhood but i guess my childhood memories were a little mixed up XDD
Even though most people posting DBZ were only watching the English or Spanish version, I'm glad you also watched the original Japanese version. I'm looking forward to it! Supporting from Japan🇯🇵
Yes! Is very refreshing! I grew up watching the Spanish version. And when I moved to America, I couldn’t tolerate how different the English dub was. So I rented the orange brick DVDs from my library and saw it in Japanese. It’s a treat to see someone enjoy it in its original form.
47:03-47:09 Dragon Ball started airing in 1986, two years after the manga started serialization. Kazuhiko Torishima (Akira Toriyama’s editor at the time) felt the anime series was starting to dwindle in viewership, so he suggested that a soft reboot to the anime could revitalize interest, resulting in more promotional money for the show. This split allowed Dragon Ball to conclude after adapting chapter 194 of the manga and then start Dragon Ball Z with material from chapter 195 and onward. Another thing to keep in mind is that Dragon Ball Z aired a week after Dragon Ball’s final episode in 1989, maintaining the natural flow into the next arc that the manga had.
I love how Kuririn, Bulma and the Muten Roshi seemed more shocked to see Goku has a kid than they were to find out Goku is an alien. I think this was intentional how the first episode of DBZ parallels the first episode of Dragon Ball, showing the introductions of Goku and Gohan in the woods and different they are as characters. Both episodes include them being chased by a sabretooth tiger too, which was anime only for both episodes. Goku thrived in that environment while Gohan is completely out of his depth constantly calling for his parents to save him. The race that Goku is said to belong to is Saiya-Jin. Saiya is a rearrangement of the Japanese Yasai or vegetable. Jin, as I'm sure you know, means person or people of, so the Saiya-jin are the people of the Saiya or Saiyans, Vegetable People. Of course they are all vegetable puns; Kakarrotto is carrot, Raditz is radish and the Saiyan homeworld Vegeta is of course named after the English for Vegetable. The English dub pronunciation for Saiyan is wrong, they say Say-In or Say-an. It is Sai-yan, kind of like the colour cyan. Still, this mistake has persisted for over 25 years at this point. It doesn't bother me if people say Saiyan the way they do in the English dub, but it does bother me when people try to correct someone who is saying Saiyan correctly and tell them the incorrect dub pronunciation is the right way.
I'm surprised this wasn't included in the trivia. At Kame House Gohan introduces himself as 4 years old but in the original publication of the manga, he was introduced as 3 years old, but his age was changed to 4 in all future reprintings and for the anime. Toriyama even had Gohan on the title page for the following chapter saying he is 4 years old.
I take most of the trivia from the wikia and sometimes add a few extra things that I know if they are interesting, I actually didn't know that, so that interesting! Of course, as long as is not spoilery everybody is welcome to share missing trivia here.
I think Akira Toriyama took the decision to definitively make Goku an alien from outerspace in Episode 122 of Dragon Ball. During Goku's fight with Piccolo Daimao, where Piccolo says, "There’s no way a human could ever contend with me!" Goku responds with, "I've got a tail, so maybe I'm not human, who knows?" This exchange makes me believe to a certain extent that it was the moment where Toriyama decided to take the story in a new direction, with Goku's otherworldly nature before the full reveal of his Saiyan origins here.
YAY! We starting DBZ!! Your reaction to Gohan was genuinely one of the most precious moments lmao, instantly attached already 😭 Btw all the collectables you bought are really cute!! love the Bulma and Launch so much
With the Red Ribbon Army Arc being my favorite story arc for the 1st half of Dragon Ball, the Saiyan Arc is my favorite story arc for the 2nd half of Dragon Ball.
Bulma haircut changes more than anything in Dragon Ball, i do believe she's the manga character with the most different look out of any manga ever, like more than 40 different style and haircuts
27:04 That was so funny. I never imagined that someone who looked away from the screen could still get spoiled by knowing the words. Knowing Japanese really backfired in that one moment. 🤣
true if I didn't know that "no" was indication of who it belongs to (like Goku's...) I would've probably heard it as "noani" and had no clue what it meant pfffff
Sometimes the spoilers in the Dragon Ball titles are worst than the openings of One Piece 😆 Curious fact, in theory this part was called "Dragon Ball 2", but someone in the staff thought that the " 2 " in the paper sheet was a Z 😅 And I have the same Goku figure, you can combine it with the one that has the Kinton cloud and other faces : )
Yeah, the beginning of the "Widow's Peak no Densetsu" Arc ! XD Also, I don't know if you remember Kayla, but I once told you about a japanese show in the late 80's, or early 90's, which filmed and interviewed the french dub team back then. And in that show there was also a sequence with the french and japanese VA of Gokû (and Gohan) where they were both doing the dub for the first scene of DBZ between Gokû and Gohan ! I don't know if you already saw it, so I put the link here if you are interested ! :D th-cam.com/video/o2R4jnIIHbA/w-d-xo.html
Gohan was implied to have been with Chi-Chi, bro. She even says he went out secretly. Goku didn't neglect Gohan, he wasn't even in the house, he was getting firewood
So you‘re really watching the original dbz anime with all its fillers? I appreciate your enthusiasm but that might make me skip through a lot of your upcoming videos - especially at the Namek Saga.
as we said before just let her watch it as she want saying this better and this bad not gonna make any different so please enjoy the reaction as it is and stop asking her to change it to kai or dub

saiya is anagram for yasai meaning vegetable and jin for person as a suffix, saiyans names are based of vegetables
YESSS WE FINALLY GET TO DBZ LETS GOOO, LOVE YOU ANIMAECHAN❤

アニメちゃん、おはようございます(^^♪
とうとう、ドラゴンボール=DRAGON BALL Zの（孫悟飯の孫悟空の子供（こども））ラディッツ（孫悟空の兄貴（あにき））がでてきましたね♪ これからが、なまら、たのしくなっていきますYO~♬マジでガチで♬
Radish and Carrot, the (Just) Sayin' brothers!
Also Cha-La Head-Cha-La is phenomenal but the intro will always be Rock the Dragon to me...
All right! Dragon Ball Z! Let's go!
If you were drinking Boba during these episodes we'd need the Dragon Balls to bring you back 😂
Next time, on Dragon Ball Z 🔥🔥🔥
She had to be pregnant for NINE YEARS 🤣🤣🤣omg
30:20 That pause there was funny. :)
30:39 oi oi let's not forget XDD
27:04 That was so funny. I never imagined that someone who looked away from the screen could still get spoiled by knowing the words. Knowing Japanese really backfired in that one moment. 🤣
true if I didn't know that "no" was indication of who it belongs to (like Goku's...) I would've probably heard it as "noani" and had no clue what it meant pfffff
Happens to the weebier of us
27:04 LMFAOOO THATS HILARIOUS
At least it gave us viewers a funny reaction to see.
I watched db classic with 6 and dbz with 8.
It was the best anime i ever watched.
nostralgia feels like magic if YOu watched dragon ball so early.
Sometimes the spoilers in the Dragon Ball titles are worst than the openings of One Piece 😆
Curious fact, in theory this part was called "Dragon Ball 2", but someone in the staff thought that the " 2 " in the paper sheet was a Z 😅
And I have the same Goku figure, you can combine it with the one that has the Kinton cloud and other faces : )
Yes!
全アニメ日本語でみてくれてるのが嬉しい
41:03 "Who decided?"....... Yes... who decided, indeed?
46:22 "100 murderers"....... lol dark
You know she wanted Goku’s pipe after he fought piccolo she went right to work “celebrating” the tournament victory 😂
English dub was so much more epic, imo but as long as you experience dbz, watch as you like.
Yeah, the beginning of the "Widow's Peak no Densetsu" Arc ! XD
Also, I don't know if you remember Kayla, but I once told you about a japanese show in the late 80's, or early 90's, which filmed and interviewed the french dub team back then.

I honestly just want to know if Chi-Chi already knew about the birds and the bees or if they just stumbled upon it.
There are 2 dbz canon OVAs do you have plans to react to them too?
She will.
Hair tho.
You think it runs in the family?
PEAK
Dragon Ball Z lets goo 🟧🟦🐉
🤩🤩
41:14 Those horrible disgusting Viltrumites...! :)
🤣🤣
Idc what they say Goku’s a bad father how he left his son as a toddler in the woods the saber tooth could’ve ate him
Gohan was implied to have been with Chi-Chi, bro. She even says he went out secretly. Goku didn't neglect Gohan, he wasn't even in the house, he was getting firewood
So you‘re really watching the original dbz anime with all its fillers? I appreciate your enthusiasm but that might make me skip through a lot of your upcoming videos - especially at the Namek Saga.
Awesome thoughts and reaction Dragonball z episodes 1 and 2 and first impressions
The Saiyan Saga
It would be better to watch Dragon Ball Kai, is more dynamic. 🤜🫷
Nahhh
@animaechan Okay. I say this because I'm watching it and it's MUCH more dynamic (seriously). Plus the soundtrack is wonderful.
@@PlaystationDois Kai is not the right way, unnfitting score frim future arcs, censorship, good filler that adds dramatic mpments removal
@@PlaystationDois No dynamism in a rushed sit through.
as we said before just let her watch it as she want
saying this better and this bad not gonna make any different
so please enjoy the reaction as it is and stop asking her to change it to kai or dub
