Kai

Never one to pass up an opportunity to comment on a Dragon Ball-related dub, I thought I'd give a few thoughts on the newest one, the one for Dragon Ball (Z) Kai. I've mostly been watching this on Nicktoons, but I'm aware of the differences in the presentations between the TV version and the DVD and Blu-Rays, and have seen bits of that, too. I mostly wanted to comment on the voice acting, though I have to say, the script this time around is so much more accurate than any previous Dragon Ball-related dub, it's a real shame they couldn't have been doing this the whole time, because now it actually watches like just an English version of the Japanese show in most ways. I'd give them kudos for this, but like I said, this is what they should have been doing for years. You don't get extra points for failing for a decade and then finally doing it right.

Episode 56, "I'll Defeat Freeza! Another Super Saiyan" *****SPOILERS***** Synopsis: A young, purple-haired boy appears before Freeza he will kill him. Freeza laughs this off and orders a subordinate to attack the boy. The boy kills all of the soldiers with his sword. The two banter about each other's abilities, and then the young man declares that like Goku, he too is a Super Saiyan. He transforms into a Super Saiyan, astonishing Freeza. Freeza fires a beam at him, but he deflects it. Gohan, Kuririn, and the others hurry towards the location on foot, sensing the ki of the young man.
