Hey, I was wondering what is the difference between the Dragon Ball Kai boxsets that are on blu-ray, the orange DVD boxsets that were released a few years ago, and the yellow DVD boxsets that are being released now. The last time I watched DBZ was on TV about 5 years ago. Also which release most closely follows the manga.
Thanks for you help in advance. |

The orange boxsets were released in 9 boxsets with the video remastering handled by FUNimation themselves. The biggest problem with this release was the video cropping...DBZ was broadcasted in 4:3 and what FUNi did was made it "widescreen." The top and bottom parts of the video were chopped off and you would gain a small percentage of new footage on the sides. The video also suffers from excessive DNR and in the earlier sets you would see missing outlines here and there. Next episode previews are missing.
The yellow boxsets are the Japanese masters released in 7 sets, each corresponding to the 7 Dragon Balls. The video is true to the original vision though the colors seem a bit muted compared to the orange boxsets. If you want all of the episodes (fillers included!), this is the way to go. Next episode previews are included, but the audio for the English track is missing since they were never recorded in the first place. The packaging is also the selling point because you get a nice box with thick booklets. The Kai sets is the revised version of DBZ. The video is remastered to 16:9 HD quality with rerecorded dialogue and updated sound effects. New theme songs are featured. The pacing is more faster since filler material is omitted; the episode count goes from the original 291 episodes to 99 revised episodes. This is considered to be the director's cut of the series and follows the manga more closely. |

![]() Kai also has new voices not just rerecorded dialogue, so you should watch the episodes on Nick or online and see if you like the new voices for certain characters like gohan and frieza ... I hate them enough that I'll eventually get the sets, but not until its butt cheap.
Because it's easier to have courage from a safe distance away.

The yellow sets actually do have the english voices, just not the english music...you do have to switch it over from the japaneses default in the options though.....

Is it true that the blood was toned down for Dragon Ball Kai? And I'm talking about the Blu-Ray release, not the broadcast version.

I'd go with Kai on Blu-ray. The picture is top-notch and the dialog is VASTLY improved over the original English dub. It's almost word-for-word a true translation of the Japanese audio. Frieza no longer sounds like a drag queen, all of the boring filler is cut out, etc. You should give it a shot!

I dunno, I was never happy that the most powerful villain in the universe and the one they meant to end the show with sounded like a random transvestite.

Yeah I didn't like the original one either but this one takes it down to a whole new low.

The yellow and orange boxsets both cotain the same 291 episodes of DBZ, it's just the transfer process is different. Also, the yellow sets have more episodes per set, so there are 2 less than the orange set. (Although note only the first 4 of the 7 yellow sets are out right now.) So yeah, both versions have the same amount of filler.

Ok thanks for the information guys. I think I like the Dragon Boxsets the best since they include the episode previews but it is to expensive ($60 a set here in Canada). So I think I will buy one season of DBZ Kai on blu-ray to see if I like it, and if I do I will continue buying those, and if I don't I will buy the orange box sets as they are more affordable ($20 a season).
Once again thanks to everyone for their help. |
