[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

[@animaechan]

DON'T JUDGE ME 😂 I really saw THAT little of DBZ as a kid

[@mayraalejandragonzalezeraz5886]

​@@animaechanDon't worry at least you know right now who is Vegeta.

[@tsogobauggi8721]

HOW COULD YOU GET THAT WRONG!!! / I am just kidding. :D

[@animaechan]

@@tsogobauggi8721 XDD

[@KitkatkotKoko]

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

[@hizakaku_n]

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🇯🇵

[@RevengerPhoenix]

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.

Awesome love Dragonball z

[@lerey74]

saiya is anagram for yasai meaning vegetable and jin for person as a suffix, saiyans names are based of vegetables

[@andrewvazquez9557]

Fun fact: There was no break between manga chapters when Dragon Ball Z originally released, so imagine coming from seeing Goku beat Piccolo and reject the job of basically becoming God of Earth just to see suddenly a man with a Tail appear and declare he is Goku's Brother and that they belong to a race of super strong Aliens. Truly one of the best retcons ever.

[@Zenkai-9k]

Maybe because there's no such thing as dragon ball z in the manga ? The anime made them seperate things, in the manga they're one and the same

[@theassortedhobbyist]

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.

[@Camuska]

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

[@ShininDays]

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.

[@simplyasian5695]

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.

Aliens are no strangers in Toriyama's work.

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

[@jeanpg900]

YESSS WE FINALLY GET TO DBZ LETS GOOO, LOVE YOU ANIMAECHAN❤

[@matisebas4554]

I remember you watching the preview for dbz on live just before your trip to Japan lmao, i was omg she about to spoil herself about Gohan ❗❗ It's so nice you included that to the video 😂

[@dandsan01]

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 : )

[@soyakat]

27:04 has so serious meme potential lmao Suffering from success fr, who knew knowing Japanese could be curse too

[@gremmythoumeaux2393]

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. 🤣

[@animaechan]

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

[@aerth6946]

Happens to the weebier of us

[@SamUnderStars]

27:04 LMFAOOO THATS HILARIOUS

[@wchan39]

At least it gave us viewers a funny reaction to see.

[@lilbondblacky]

when your japanese is good enough to understand the title with your eyes closed and spoil the episode for you lol !!! 諦めないで！君はよく習ってるんだよ！

[@kleber45084]

Raditz just wanted to show the love between an uncle for his nephew and the love for his brother, but in the Saiyan version, I liked his reaction to the opening Chala Head Chala and little Gohan.

[@simplyasian5695]

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.

[@animaechan]

ohhh interesting!

[@Buti1986]

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.

[@granddaddyotaku636]

Next time, on Dragon Ball Z 🔥🔥🔥

47:23 one of the best endings i have ever heard in anime i love this song so bad

[@victora.hernandez8062]

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.

[@不思議勇者]

As soon as I started understanding Japanese, I started to understand even spoilers😂 rest assured! Japanese children were also spoiled by the title, saying, “What? Are you going to say that!?” Now you can join the ranks of Japanese! 🤣

[@MagicDragonfiction]

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.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

If you're an adult and watched masterpieces before DBZ it could definitely ruin that experience. DBZ serves as a good entry level anime but if you watched it after a masterpiece before it then you'd always be comparing it to something better and be disappointed. Or even if you watched the big 3 before DBZ too like naruto, bleach, one piece they're all better than dbz

[@claudioadriano5422]

All right! Dragon Ball Z! Let's go!

[@Kaika433]

Finally you meet Gohan, my favorite db character (well at least your version from youtube since you are ahead in twitch) and it’s so funny that you thought Raditz was Vegeta 😂

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...

Interesting to watch DBZ in japanese. It's one of the few anime where i prefer the dub. But sub is fine if you have the version that has clear audio. If you need it lmk i got dbz in HD in sub with the crisp broadcast audio and dub :)

農夫の戦闘力５はかなり強いぞ。

[@feanorcurufinwe6666]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWO1ZZ2kfq57mKM

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
