Dragon Ball (Blue Water dub) opening

[jazzproduction]

this is a translation of the German opening due to i first watched dragonball in German before there was a English dub

[TheOfficialGoten]

@jazzproduction

Actually it's directly taken from the French dub.

The German dub was based on the French dub, if that's the case.

[jazzproduction]

@TheOfficialGoten wow i did not know that even thogh i remember Blue also usein the first db jap opening

[RenewedTenjin]

The days of old!! I remember watching this with my dad and mother. So nostalgic!

[bloodyfart10]

Makes me cry when I think about those old days. :(

[OnlySemiCoherent]

Oh FUCK ME SIDEWAYS! I remember this, I always (wrongly) thought dragonball was some retarded kid's show because of this. Goddammit YTV...

[yuoaman]

I don't care what anyone says, this theme is awesome.

[KunaiYouki]

I can't even watch this...everyone who knows anything about this series knows it wasn't supposed to be very kid-friendly to begin with, so this is just absolutely HORRIFYING T-T

[VVand483]

@KunaiYouki As a canadian, I was presented with the blue water dub. As a child, it was amazing for me. All that got cut out was Naked Goku scenes and some of ROshi's Scenes with Women (Mainly the one where Bulma shows Roshi her gaga) As I got older and rewatched the American dub (With all the perverted scenes not cut out), It was funnier and new for me. I felt both were great, just different age groups ^^

[thedragonscave]

This sounds just like the He-Man song.

[Dave102693]

Lmaoooooooooo what a lame singer and lryics

[ExodoPics]

This is Dragon Ball not He-Man.This is childish

[takarifan]

This is terrible. Dragon Ball is not kiddy stuff!

[RenewedTenjin]

@takarifan incorrect it has a shonen rating and in japanese, hiragana is on the top to help people(mainly kids) read.

[Stairmaster9068]

why

[ConfusedProud]

Everyone hates this but this is the one I grew upo= with in the UK. Looking back it's pretty crappy but it holds some nostalgia at least.

[TylerLav118118]

@ConfusedProud so true I remember I think it was either 05 or 06 and I was only 10 or 11 and I knew where blood came out after cutting off a giants head in this in series but it still leaves memories of u watching it

[Pizzajoe15]

My gosh that sucked

[Kytseo]

...I think I'll stick to Mystical Adventure...

[ElBlocko]

I wanted to send a letter bomb to YTV when they canceled DragonBall without any warning whatsoever. Seriously. I was an angry kid...

[Grahamx227]

@ElBlocko

There's even more reason to send one now; most anime has been replaced with abysmal live action garbage like I-Carly. All they have are the occasional anime meant to sell toys, like Pokemon and Beyblade.

I hear Kai may get a release here, so maybe that'll open Dragon Ball back up to wesatern audiences again, so we can get the original back on air. I wanted to watch it to the end, goddamnit.

[KunaiYouki]

@Grahamx227 Kai's not Dragon ball, it's DragonballZ, and they aren't even doing the Buu or Cell sagas.

[Grahamx227]

@KunaiYouki

Read my post again. I implied Dragonball in general.

And Kai stops at the end of the Cell saga.

[terrencefire]

.......It's the french theme song for dragon ball. We created this musical horror.....who

raped my childhood endlessly

[b00353]

oh dear

[predalian5]

..........

WHY DID I WATCH THIS AS A KID!!!

[kyojikasshu]

... what... the hell... did I just watch?

[tocofool]

OMG i fell so bad for canada this song is ear rape

[megamadic]

Dragonball presented by Nick Jr

[sleepy7351]

what the hell!?

[china2africa]

back then-YTV was the shit

now-YTV is shit

[ultm8ninja]

They should put this in a new Dragon Ball game "for teh lolz"

[DecimationResolve]

I was so embarrassed by this when my parents were in the room.

[ShaunEboi523RatedR]

Good times. Nostalgia is killing me. I was 12 years old when it first came on tv, 8 years ago

[chrono119]

Did any one else notice that if you pause at the very beginning of the video at 0:00 there's an add for maple leaf lunch meat from YTV lol

[Goten3399]

Original is WAY better. I never liked Blue Water or Ocean Dub

[MegaLarsieke]

Juuchan: this song is based on the french song

[NeverendingTwilight4]

Am I the only one who thinks that this kind of sounds like the theme song for He-Man?

[dbzawsm]

yeah ours is better

[TheJuuchan]

so this is the clip the german dub used for the intro o.0

funny how their song is WAAAAAAAAAAY better..

[cheesewheel]

I have a shitload of the dragon ball episodes recorded on tape.... thankfully, because this dub seems like its hard to get ahold of

[thedragonscave]

@cheesewheel You should upload them. Or make duplicates and sell them.

[goshgollywonkers]

The one question that has been left unanswered since my early childhood.... WHAT THE HELL IS THAT HELICOPTER THING? D:

[rex22neo]

I remember then this first aired on YTV. I was expecting the Funi dub, but this is still good.

[L1N1C8]

back when ytv was cool

[XDanW1991]

I LOVE THIS INTRO! This one was my childhood :)

[TheGhunter666]

i love this intro, its so bad

[nadjasund95]

@TheGhunter666 -.-

[ProduccionesHyD]

@TochMaarNetOpTijd OK, sorry...

In fact, I one saw Portuguese (PT, not BR) and it used the same music and even the same video as this.

[ToonamiCNXUK]

Hello to all Toonami and CNX Fans and Followers The ToonamiCNXUK page is back and better then ever we have loads of new info and updates with the lastist news. we hope to see you at ToonamiCNXUK's page

Hope to See you there

[TheCartoonGamer8000]

What the hell happened to YTV? It used to be cool =( I still have an episode of this on tape, but I recorded over the other episodes cuz I thought it would always be on =(

[ProduccionesHyD]

This song was later recycled to make the French and Portuguese (PT) openings.

I didn't know that it was the Blue Water one, I thought it was French-made, like the one for DBZ which was translated into all the European versions.

[skcihynnad]

@supermancrashin thats the UK toonami version.type in (Dragon Ball UK Toonami opaning)

[Goku0Gohan]

they should make an anime channel that plays all the old Dragon ball Dbz and DBGT episodes eh?

[Bellamyfanboy]

@Goku0Gohan It would be called Dragon Channel I bet.

[uberboy64]

lol i could imagine frieza loving this song.....

[uberboy64]

:/

did youtube just molest me by twisting up Dragon Ball in the most ..... most horrible way imagined.

yes, this is a question.

[cardtrader15]

is blue water like the Canadian 4kids

[Synonymous52]

Poor dude likely didn't get paid for each time he said Dragon Ball. They probably didn't tell him they'd loop that.

[SighOfTheOppressed]

Man, YTV. This takes me really back.

[caldera11]

This was supposed to be for younger children on YTV. That's what they were going for with the song.

[TylerLav118118]

I watched this 5 years ago after school when I was 10 but the us series was better it's a shame there was no blood involed at all!!

[Bellamyfanboy]

I like this song. I wish there was a full length version........

[TylerLav118118]

@Bellamyfanboy imagine if Iron Maiden did it!!!!! LOL the ratings!!!!

[TheSupremelyEvilOne]

I still sometimes hum this song in school :3

[robertreturns]

@drifter402 that sucks. and judging by the most unfitting(but not worst. that goes to harmony gold.)theme, i guess it sucks?

[cpmunk420]

This sounds like something Tim and Eric would cook up.

[Conchobhar]

@cpmunk420 This is the kind of thing they would parody, you mean.

[xPokemonPlayerx]

@cpmunk420 Lol.

[Greenduck40]

Guys I'm a little confused. I watched this version of DB on YTV in Canada so I actually saw the Blue Water dub? I watched the funimation dub of DBZ. So... how come YTV didn't show the funimation dub of the original DB too? Or maybe Blue Water never dubbed DBZ, but only the original DB and DBGT. I'm good with what I watched but I just want to know which production dubbed DB, DBZ, and DBGT, in YTV Canada. Can anyone tell me.

[Ch0coDK]

@Greenduck40 Blue Water dubbed Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball GT for Canada, and I believe also the UK. Part of DBZ was dubbed by Ocean Dub (of course you have the first 53 episodes) and then the later stuff which I think was after the Android Saga was done by Ocean for Canadian and UK audiences. Freeza, Garlic Jr., and Trunks Saga was never dubbed by Ocean.

[Greenduck40]

@Ch0coDK Ah I see, which is why funimation decided to dub the first 67 episodes so that the entire DBZ would officially be dubbed by them. Thx for answering.

[Arthus850]

@Ch0coDK though ocean did go up to when they went to namek at least

[beanio12]

Oh god.... the songs okay, but something feels wrong about it.... maybe it's because I'm used to the Funimation version?

[Giratina3]

Memories. I remember this when it was broadcast in UK.

[HaloLvl43Legit]

Where can I get ths Blue Water dub series? It's the only kid Goku voice I can stand and don't think it's annoying! All the episodes here are the American dub

[Ch0coDK]

@HaloLvl43Legit I agree with you and wish I recorded these episodes off of TV. I hate Stephine Nadonly's kid Goku so much that I watch all of Dragon Ball in Japanese now. Anyways, to answer your question the Blue Water dub was only made for TV syndication so sadly there is no commercial availability of the Blue Water dub.

[DBZGTBGM1991]

@HaloLvl43Legit If you sign up on the UKDB forums you can get almost the whole series with this dub.

[HaloLvl43Legit]

@DBZGTBGM1991 Already got someone to send me a torrent a year ago ,ty

[ritrunnero]

@HaloLvl43Legit

dude, can you send me the torrent!!!!!!

[xShadeSunx]

hahha man this brings back memories!

[bloodyfart10]

Ahh the good old days.

[SushiSunshine2000]

Just out of curiosity, what year was this? I'm guessing early 90's-ish..

[Ch0coDK]

@SushiSunshine2000 This aired in the early 2000s in Canada.

[SushiSunshine2000]

@Ch0coDK Hard to believe this was in the early 2000's!! The music in the intro sounds SO 90's plus it was based on the French version which sounded very 80's.

Then again that could be just me.

[puronicoya]

@SushiSunshine2000 this was on ytv in the mid 90s not 2000s unless it still kept going

[puronicoya]

@Ch0coDK mid 90s on ytv, i grew up watching this on ytv

[Ch0coDK]

@SushiSunshine2000 If you are asking about the show itself then it originally aired in Japan from 1986 to 1989 but this is not the original opening.

[MaksHandsun]

Oh yah, I remember this

[Pimpact206]

How incredibly hilarious. Even the Harmony Gold dub song is better than this, and they renamed essentially all of the characters.

[DaIcyDreamers]

well dragon ball is when goku was a kid so it has to be a kiddy opening!

xD

[hitsusatsu11]

wtf is wrong with ytv taking down all there good anime?

[HighlyVisibleNinja]

@hitsusatsu11 It's not what kids want anymore, they was Tween multi-camera sitcoms and teen reality shows.

[HaloLvl43Legit]

Anyone know where the blue water dub is? I can't find it.

[EnglishTurtle]

I actually liked it :(

[Bowserfett08]

I'm just waiting for Barney and Elmo to show up in this opening...

[cybertronization]

This is the French opening for "Dragon Ball." Blue Water must've obtained the French version of the show instead of the original Japanese version. And their "DB" theme music is the French one, but they re-recorded it so it would fit in with their dub.

[Greenduck40]

YTV today is only YTV by name. YTV died 5 years ago when they removed shows like Dragonball-Z-GT, Naruto, Yugioh, Inuyasha, Gundam Seed, and Bionix itself.

[GRIMNDARK]

You're kidding, right?

Sweet lord.

[ilypiriquito]

the Canada dragon ball opening +.+

reminds me of my times as a lil devil :P

[NANOFORGE]

Also played in the UK.

[Greenduck40]

These were good old days... All the great old shows back in YTV. Now I watch Dragonball on the internet and it brings back so many memories =,)

[CorporateNothing]

lol @ this intro.

[Diabound66]

@mcwizard100 yeah, thank god for the internet.

[pyrogirl64]

Heh, I remember this :)! I think there's here at least three different English versions that I can think of. There was the original Japanese tune just with english lyrics, this one and the remixed Funimation version of this tune (My personal favourite:)).

[Demondbunny]

Wasn't there two verisons of this opening ?? Just i rember this one at nine and a differnt one at five

[Diabound66]

yeah i miss those days.

[guilmon223]

this brings me back when i actually had a reason for getting up at 5:00 am

[pooptypeuptypants55c]

"IIIIIIIIIIII HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE THE POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!­!!!!!!"

Oh wait, sorry, i got the tunes mixed up.

[cybertronization]

@pooptypeuptypants55c This reminds me of the old *He-Man and the Masters of the Universe* theme song as well.

[randomgasattack]

The lyrics may be cheesy, but it's a catchy tune.

[Rachman1337]

This is awful... awfully funny! lol no really this is pretty bad.

[0Slathalin0]

This gives my home town Calgary a bad name...

[LilDemona]

Why would it give your home town Calgary a bad name?

[sonic1232]

i remember this was the one canada aired..........american was better but this is kinda catchy

[DeamonPrayer]

i remember this one being showed in the UK, but it was only showed once this intro. It was a different intro that was shown afterwood.

[Fergusforslipknot]

is blue water and ocean the same dubbing company?

[Arthus850]

no it's not. just they were working together in the later eps of dragon ball z

[Moritasan2040]

Lol. This is the French opening theme song, but in English. When will AB Groupe realize that people don't like their silly replacement music? When the German dub was made, the German company was like "This music sucks. Isn't there anything better you can give us?" And so AB Groupe gave them the original music from the Japanese version.

[eafanboyssuck]

lol @ maple leaf chicken

[SuperSaiyan4Jared]

i like this better than the american opening

[SuperSaiyan4Jared]

i change my mind i like the american version better

[KyouchouBudgie]

This intro just makes the show seem more generic as just another YTV show, but it did make me think of Pilaf as more of a villain. Even Harmony Gold did a better job than this.

[02xstanley]

lol this opening is so cutesie

[professors84]

All I can think of when hearing this is "Hey there, Blimpie boy, flying through the sky so fancy free..."

[00akiramedia00]

I hope Akira Toriyama will never see this!

[tokuanimecitvguy]

Yeah. I can just imagine him with a shot gun beating them up.

[PropellerBusted]

Sounds like Pinwheel

[RodanPictures]

the opening sucked, but the show still rocked :D I'm glad they brought this to the main night line-up, all I had to do was stomach the opening and I was golden.

[teamnerosonicX1997]

oh i remember this on YTV. i remember i always thought that "dragonball" meant dbz , so i got mad every time those damn purple lights showed up...

[GothamDatabase]

crap opening

especially crap compared to the kick ass other version

[LadTheViking]

This sounds like he-man in the beginning

[dragonball7d2]

sounds like the new pokemon openings lol.

friendship and stuff.

I haven't noticed that till just now lol

[TVkingOmega]

please shoot me after hearing this.....

[abola2121]

@TVkingOmega

Is it really that bad? This is the only opening i've every known.

[adriyanshtephan]

this song is derived from the french opening originally sung  by arianne carletti ,

[SuperSkarmoryRox]

this sounds like more of a playhouse show than a martial arts anime.this makes anime look bad

[Arthus850]

despite the intro being crappy blue water did a decent job dubing the show

[TeltuProductions]

This makes it seem like A playhouse disney show

[EnglishTurtle]

I live in Canada, and DBZ came to Canada way before the original DB. I remember watching this on channel 25. So many good memories.

I love the episode when Goku has to get to the top of the tower to get this bottle of secret water. :)

[Linkthetwiilightking]

is it me or dose this sound like a "4kids" intro

talks about friendship

[icydreamers]

it is about kids and it brought good memories in my child hood =D

[ZomBoy18]

Oh...my...god...What was that?

No...that is not Dragon Ball.

[scottweise18]

Dragonball will always be the best. I miss the 90s. Dragonball and Dragonball z are better than that Blue Dragon crap.

[Tokamaru97]

Soooooo much better than the FUNimation dub... god I remember watching this dub as a kid and can still watch it today, but the FUNimation dub is a whole different story. It's strange how FUNimation is usually really good with dubbing (like with FMA, and a few others) but they totally screwed up Dragonball.

[Arisainwonderland]

How did funimation screw it up? They followed the original script and everything.

[ROFLcousin]

omg.... my childhood........

[guilmon223]

weekdays at 5:00 in the morning i used to get up every morning to watch this man

great memories

[mizrahiii]

Ahhh I did the same thing...always at 5am.. such awesome memories.

[jjxd]

this is awesome!

[slyther2]

dear god i think im going to puke... this song suck!

[BobBoican]

Canada for the win. The Funi dub sucks.

[Ch0coDK]

I hated Kirllin's voice when he was a kid in the Funimation dub. I remember when I first heard his voice from renting a DVD of Dragon Ball and I wsa disgusted. I liked his Blue Water voice better.

[MugiwaraMikey]

Nah. FUNi for the win! This opening is a joke.

[BobBoican]

"Everybody's searching for the Dragon Balls?" If by everybody you mean 6 people in the entire world. :3

[supasonic02]

if you think this is bad than watch the polish one its terrible (dragon baooll)

[wolflover549]

I remember this version! Its been about 5 years sence i saw the series

[benzo12]

The song doesn't even rhyme, how do you do that?

[dragonball7d2]

good time I watched dragonball and dbz when i was little and loved it.

i remember like when i was 10 I would blow off my homework to watch it lol

[gonsenmagic]

lol did u fail XD

[dragonball7d2]

lol well I was in grade 4 lol.

uh no I didn't but my math mark wasn't to hot lol.

[Ecwfanrulz]

i remember watching this a few years ago at like 5 am in the morning lol XD no joke but they stoped airing it then guess it was used as filler lol

[themanster18]

aww i wanna watch this again :(

[BeatYourAssInHalo]

So Did I

[Kuisel88]

Oh hell yeah used to watch this show like religion waiting for Inuyasha and GSeed to come on!

[theBUZshow]

[ratonracine]

Wouhou! I remember when i was a kid watching db on YTV such good memories!

[gonsenmagic]

lol some where in the begging maple leaf commercial lol XD look closer if u cant see!

[DGKSoldur]

this one is sweet
