First Episode of Dragon Ball Z Kai Premiered at Nicktoons

Dragon Ball Z Kai is remake or the director’s cut of the Dragon Ball Z for its 20th anniversary. Dragon Ball Z Kai  along with One Piece are being maketed together as the hour in which they both air, “Dream 9“. The premier of Dragon Ball Z Kai was on Fuji TV on April 5, 2009 at 9:00am just before One Piece.

FUNimation Entertainment would take the honor of dubbing Dragon Ball Kai into English under the release title of Dragon Ball Z Kai. The first season of the dub would be released and premiered on Nicktoons network on May 24th 2010. Another change as the Dragon Ball series has always been premiered on Cartoon Network in the United States.



Dragon Ball Z Kai is described as the “remastered” edit of certain events in Dragon Ball Z. The  editing also includes the extending of the format picture to 16:9 widescreen. The editing did not also lessen the damages and noise on Dragon Ball Z, but removed the damages completely.

The Kai means ‘altered’ or ‘modified’ fits well the description of the series thus chosen as the extension in the title Dragon Ball Kai. On the other hand, Dragon Ball Z Kai is also appeared to be known as Dragon Ball Kai in Japan. Interestingly, the Z is removed.
