YMMV: Dragon Ball Kai
  • Broken Base / Nostalgia Filter / They Changed It, Now It Sucks:
    • Some hardcore Dragon Ball Z fans have denounced Kai as dishonoring the original series by removing much of the character inherent in the extended stories, while others enjoy the much faster-paced plot.
    • People who grew up watching FUNimation's original Dragon Ball Z dub decry Kai's change of dialogue (even though Kai's dubbed English scripts are far more accurate), the changes in voices (even though Kai benefited from Sabat, Schemmel, and company gaining a decade of voice acting experience since the original dub), and the loss of Bruce Faulconer's music (which was intensely disliked by fans of the original Japanese DBZ back in the day).
    • Goes into straight up idiocy when most fans of Z claim that Kai has no blood. True, the Nicktoons version of Kai doesn't, but the uncut version has lots of blood. And lots of foul language, too.
    • The news that The Ocean Group is in the works for a Canadian broadcast release has threatened to start up the Ocean vs Funimation war once again.
    • All of above is taken Up to Eleven with the Latin American viewers. Unlike North America, we only have one dub, and it was perfect. After Kai shows up, well...
  • Crowning Music of Awesome / Ear Worm: Dragon Soul and Sanjou!! Ginyu Tokusentai!!
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Narm: Sure, Gohan's screams are properly full of emotion... but some of them carry on so long that it loses the intended effect.
  • Superlative Dubbing: The English dub is close to flawless, since most of the actors have been voicing these characters for over a decade.
