  • best 1986 show of your life rite here!

  • i remember renting 2 video tapes of dragon ball as a kid this was before it was shown on toonami and i was way into dbz at the time. what a treat it was to see dragon ball then! Ive been looking for this intro for a while

  • Yeeeeaaahh... I like "Mystical Journey" waaaay better than this, even though this is pretty good.

  • Why did they ever change this intro? This was BRILLIANT compared to the garbage that followed.

  • When watching this as kids, if only we knew what the future would hold.....

  • cool

  • huh why is dbz worse than db. probably they actually have adventures to get dragon balls. in z all they do is fight dragon ball shouldn't be in the title. but dbz is still freaking awesome

  • This intro sucked balls and spit on the original......seriously. I loved the dubs, but the intro was just so bad. the original was better. more "pumped up", energetic, and badass.

    this sounds like a lame sonic intro wannabe.

  • Dragon Ball was on this long O.O

  • This version of Dragon Ball sucks. Glad they redubbed this. Don't hate. This is MY opinion.

  • ACK NOSTALGIA ATTACK MAKE IT STOP!? THATS IT IM WATCHING EVERY EPISODE AGAIN!

  • Lmao. Poor Yamcha. Once you go saiyan..

  • Lol I remember I had this dub on VHS in the late 90's, it was cool but it only covered the first saga so I had to wait like 2 years for the new dub to show on Toonami.

  • GET THAT DRAGON BALL! DRAGON BALL! The greatest test of all is to find that 7th ball.

    I loved this intro when I was a kid, and it just popped into my head.

  • man those first 12 seconds are the BEST!!!

  • sounds better in japanese

  • dragon ball gotta find em all

    pokemon gotta catch em all

    death note gotta kill em all

  • DB> pokemon

  • gotta catch em.. oops i mean find them all

  • @nolansr43 Fuck that.

    I got every episode of DB/Z/GT on the box sets.

    **IF YOU REALLY WANNA SUPPORT DRAGONBALL, BUY THE DVDS/BLU-RAYS**

  • Best intro and best DB English dub in my opinion. Not too fond of all the editing in this version though.

  • @StarDr0ps I soo agree. Keep it uncensored and it would've been perfect D:

  • love this opening

  • By the time this came out gt waz finished in japan o.0

  • @urockmike1 Gt begun when we got this and was finished when we got Z in 1996 but ya we got waaaay after the Japanese did.

  • @urockmike1 LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

  • was dragonall released in north america in 1995? Cuz i remember dbz started here like 1999, and they aired dragonball in like 2003 (don't know why they reversed the order).

  • @moron3698 Ocean had actually dubbed I think the first 14 episodes of the original Dragon Ball, but ratings were low, so they skipped to the more action-packed sequel Z.

  • @EndreVanan Well, it might have worked out better for them if they didn't refer to korin as "whiskers the wonder cat."

  • @moron3698 dbz started in 96 in north america and ended in 2003. db started in 2003 and ended in 2005

  • @Skyrex93 Actually. Dragon Ball was originally dubbed by Ocean, prior to any iteration of any series, back in 1995. The first 14 episodes were dubbed into english by Ocean, but faced poor ratings. This was its opening. They switched to DBZ, which had slightly higher ratings but still poor all the same. It wouldn't be until its debut on Cartoon Network's Toonami that Dragon Ball Z would truly take off.

  • @EndreVanan alright you can has cookie

  • @EndreVanan And I'll be forever thankful to whoever had the brilliant idea to add DBZ to Toonami. DBZ is one of my favorite shows, and who knows if it would've ever gained momentum here the way it did if it weren't for its success on Cartoon Network?

  • Umm 1995? Lol I waz born in 95 typo?

  • THANK YOU !! FINALLY SOMEONE PUT THIS UP! Jeez I was starting to doubt this actually existed and just figured my little mind heard something more awesome than the actual song when I was a kid.

  • WOW. i've only heard this song ONCE during my youth ever other song was Cha La Head Cha La.

  • You know I always wondered why on dbz tv there was this crazy dub which i think is the late 80s one and then this other dub which is better and more memorable to my younger days and i always wonder how the memorable dub somehow changed with yamcha's voice like after ep 13 when they are in the jungle... hmmmm i know now... but i wanna see the updated original 13 from 2001 or did they keep the orig 13 they made in 1995?

  • I don't really like any of the dragonball themes, english or japanese, but i guess thats because when i watched it there never was a theme song, only on occasion.

  • I liked this one back in the day... Was prob one of the best for Canadian TV because it was original it didn't "Try" to be its Japanese counterpart(which is amazing BTW) but it was a spin on it to try and make our own. I don't mind. Defo better than "Rock the dragon" or whatever the hell it was.

  • @SomedaysDreamersBC

    where can i find the japanese version of DB with english subtitles

    im assuming by your comment you have seen it right?

  • @hetekos Anywhere usually depends where you live... If in Canada go to Best Buy or Futureshop can find the DVD box sets for cheap 15-20$ per season... Theres only 5 in the original DB. The DVD box set has the english and japanese on it.

    If you're american then Best buy or target.

  • best intro

  • Now THIS is the dragonball theme I remember from when I was a kid!! Took me forever to find it!!

  • @DroppinTheBeats My god you have no idea, ive told ppl about this intro and my friends thought i was making it up lol

  • I gotta go find the magic balls.

  • Did they really call Goku "Zero"?

  • @sega31098 Not in this dub, but in an earlier one that was broadcast by I thiiiink Harmony Gold in the late 80s in a few areas. That theme was just a cover of Makafushigi Adventure, so now I can't hear that song without hearing "ZERO IS OUR HEEEEERO" in my head

  • Don't stop until you got them all, the seven magic balls!

    It's all you gotta do to have your wish come truuuuuu!!

    This song used to make my Saturday mornings. :)

  • there is a site called dbz.tv where you can watch dragon ball, z, and gt, please rate thumbs up and comment this on other db videos, because if the site doesnt get enough fans, it will shut down.

  • @nolansr43 The best part about the site is that the dubs are uncensored.

  • @nolansr43 dont worry their is a website called dbz remastered and dbz.org and they are really cool

  • @nolansr43 Attention whore. Thumbing up this comment will in no way affect the fate of dbz.tv

  • @nolansr43 dbzoasis is better, good quality, can also watch the movies, and there's multiple sources to watch many episodes on in case one doesn't work

  • @protocol835 naw i think ill stay jack ass

  • Respond to this video... THIS IS THE VERSION I ORIGINALLY STARTED WATCHING DRAGONBALL ON AND NOW I WATCH JAPANESE SUBBED

  • this ones better then grand tour intro.

  • HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE A SICK MIND SAYING FIND MY SEVENTH BALL GROSS EWWW MINDS OF LALA!!!!!!!

  • This is the first opening I heard. I never liked it. I thought it was corny

  • this is just the first opening for dragonball the next is the one you all are talking about

  • I actually miss this opening. I wish they had kept it for the Dragonball series (at least for the Canadian version since FUNi used a translated version of the Japanese opening)

  • long ago seven dragon balls were forged and sccatters across earth to graint the discoverer a single wish don don don don don DRAGONBALL DO DODO GOTTA FIND THAT DRAGON BALL DO DO DO DONT STOP INTILL U GOT AMALL THE SEVEN MAGIC BALLS IT ALL U GOTTA DO TO HAVE UR WISH COME TRUE GET THAT DRAGONBALL DRAGONBALL

  • Considering the last 4 i just watched, this isn't that bad.

  • this is so epic but the second theme is better

  • this is so epic

  • This is pretty good, but the Japanese one is still the best.

  • This is pretty good, but the Jap opening is the best sitll

  • Comment removed

  • This is a dragonball movie intro. I'm 11 and I saw the whole dragonball sires in a app on android it is called dragonball player

  • i dont remember this intro

  • did half the stuff in this video even happen?

  • this one is so much better than the second theme

  • i like this one

  • 9 people couldn't find that 7th ball.

  • this song is soooooooo very hard to find!!!! i was 5 when i saw this version. before toonami lol

    

  • This is the kind of song that gets stuck in my head. XD

  • LOL i remember watching this when i was a kid i remember

  • whats the name of the song

  • Its a copy

  • I got this on disc

  • I get reminded of 1980's hair metal when I listen to this, anyone else get that feeling?

  • I like the 2nd intro more

  • Why go to school when you collect 7 dragon balls?

  • did Funimation make this theme song or did an other company make it

  • @OJMAC5 Another company

  • @OJMAC5 funimation in 95 did it

  • @bigphil0005 Oh ok i wasn't sure who do bc i couldn't find it anywhere and the one dragon ball them i kept finding was a redone version of japan one. so thank you very much for helping me with that

  • @OJMAC5 hey no prob man i actually still have like 1st 6 tapes of these on vhs lol my fav DB intro ^^

  • @bigphil0005 same here i love this intro and gets suck in you head so then you're singing it all day

  • 9 people couldn't find the dragonballs XD

  • GOKU! HE'S GONNA SHOW YOU!

  • 9 people like narutard

  • u gotta luv the 90s!

  • I was looking for this song thanks for posting this video

  • i remember this theme

  • I prefer this to the poor English cover of "Makafushigi Adventure!" that Funimation later used.

  • Haha. The Dragon Ball (Original) Manga is so funny! Everything got SO serious in Z! I love Z but Dragon Ball was so, so cute!

  • dragonball was the best anime that i've ever seen i really loved the story plot and characters, then DBZ and GT were really good too...now, kai is out....kai does not compete with the original and the viewers don't get the background or info from dragonball thumbs up if you agree

  • ya we got dragon balls

  • Hey it may be chessy as hell but it the intro that most american kids got introduce to the series since most people don't remember the hamony gold version. The series was edited to hell though and I can't even imagine how butcher the darker king piccolo saga would had been had the ocean dub version kept going. It's a good thing we have uncut dvd boxsets were all the violence, cursing, and sexual advances toward bulma is intact.XD

    

  • @xanimefanNgamerx You suck.

  • lets see how many times they say balls... 7 now how about ball... 7 times now add them 14 14 times they say ball and balls

  • Dragon baaaall~ Dragon baaaall~ gotta find that dragon baaaall~

  • sounds like they used the same people to do the pokemon intro theme

  • The Canadian version is 1000x better.

  • Still remember all the lyrics. My favorite show when I was a kid and is my favorite dub for Dragon Ball.

  • 90s Music still sounds as awful as it did then.

    :P

  • 90s Music still sounds as awful as it did then.

    :P

  • I don't know, I like this one better then the other one.

  • oh no! the edited opening. *runs away*

  • I remember this. I found a Dragon Ball movie at Blockbuster and rented it one time, BB probably still rents it out to this day.

  • @YamiAnubisX  They have it as box set

  • My most favorite Dragon Ball dub! <33

  • i think dragon ball was the best of the 3 dragon ball Z and GT

  • i seen this version once as a kid while fliping thought the channels

  • Now I remember this theme when I was a kid!

  • Now this song is stuck in my head.

  • I loved this dub! the shows edited to the max but i dont care but I like these voice actors

  • @haloalldaylo I am so with you man! :D

  • Wait a minuet Dragon ball came out in 1986 why do you have 1995.

  • @Corleone2239 thats when this was dubbed by ocean/funimation Im guessin

  • @haloalldaylo

    The anime came out in Japan in 1986,This particular dub From Ocean group however was dubbed 9 years later in 1995,it was common back than for alot of older animes from the 70's and 80's to receive 90's style english dubs.

  • 0:12

  • i just love all the songs to dragon ball/z/gt i wolud not miss 1 episode as a kid

  • this song was made the same year as me yay yay  i grew up loving this show and dragon ball/z/gt/and kai i miss them so much

  • @partypartybaby whoa! you too huh? :)

  • @kermicheo yea 

  • goku hes going to show you he is going to hlep you find the way that is the best part

  • dragon ball dragon ball z and dragon ball gt are the best shows

  • damn i used to loooove this theme lmao

  • I think this is the opening on my VHS set of Dragonball...i'll have to go back and see

  • mp3 please.

  • Don't stop until you've got them all

    The seven Dragonballs

    It's all you gotta do to have your wish come true...

    ^ Favorite part of the song. Always loved the saturday-morning-cartooness of this intro.

  • @capnbarfy Agreed.

  • Am I crazy or could that be the voice of Yugi narrating at the very beggining?

  • @clemsonfight no that was not Dan Green

  • this is my favorite dragon ball intro in english along with rock the dragon for dragon ball z

  • Awesome, they don't make english versions like this anymore.

    that's why I prefer japanese now, but back in the day english dubs were pretty respectable. Just like this intro and "Rock The Dragon"

  • goku sure came a long way. fom finding 7 dragon balls to fighting majin buu

  • what is the name of this song

  • Seven gave this a thumbs down. One hundred-fourteen gave thumbs up!

  • they called Goku Zero in this one, right?

  • @Marmalade000000 nope. that was the Harmony Gold dub

  • gay...and awesome

  • garbage, that lousy opening, horrible, terrible, rubbish, the original Japanese is much better

  • @diogothrasher Then why the fuck are you on this video like a retard acting out for attention?

  • @diogothrasher Uhhh have you heard the poor recording on the original JP? The original JP sounds like crap. The song, in written format however is better. But reguardless, this one's pretty good and I rather like the catchy sound of it. Funi dub and/or phillipines dub version is by far superior than any of them though, since it's the original JP with a remastered and english lyrics.

  • @diogothrasher Hahaha... trolls.

  • i wonder why they dont keep the original music in USA´s version.

    i really prefer the original japanese music but voice dubbed in portuguese.

  • The dubbers did. In 2001, they redubbed the first 13 episodes, and dubbed all the episodes after. They kept the original music, and made an English version of Makafushigi Adventure.

  • WYF

  • You know, this was the first song I heard of Dragonball. I know there were two before this one, but one sounded like a gospel and the other was just abundantly rediculous with the lyrics. "Dragonball, the ultimate quest..." etc. Ugh, just annoying

  • Lol goku's face at 0:32

  • Gota Love How The ONLY Rhyme In The Song Is Ball, And.......Ball.... LOL

  • Not bad

  • this sounds 80's style

  • Both themes are pretty catchy. I liked this actually.

    Although the other one does a better job of explaining the show while STILL being catchy, among other things.

  • sounds like 4kids.

  • Comment removed

  • omg. That's terrible.. Original version is so much better...

  • I love this song due to the awesome guitar riffs

    and just the rhythm. Wish the lyrics where a bit thought over though.
