''Dragon Ball'' is a Japanese media franchise created by the late, great Creator/AkiraToriyama. It began as [[Manga/DragonBall a manga]] that was serialized in ''Weekly Magazine/ShonenJump'' from [[LongRunners 1984 to 1995]], chronicling the adventures of a cheerful monkey boy named Son Goku, in a story that was originally based off the Chinese tale ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' (the character Son Goku both was based on and [[BilingualBonus literally named after]] [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Sun Wukong]], in turn inspired by [[Literature/{{Ramayana}} Hanuman]]).

From 2009 to 2011, Toei aired ''Dragon Ball Kai'' (or ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'' [[MarketBasedTitle outside Japan]]), a "[[{{Recut}} refreshing]]" of ''Dragon Ball Z'' initially only covering the material from the Saiyan arc to the Cell Games arc with a lot of {{filler}} and {{padding}} [[AdaptedOut removed]].[[note]]Though not nearly all of it; Goku rescuing Gohan from the waterfall in episode 1, Ginyu Frog harassing Bulma, Gregory's existence, and various other significant filler additions to the anime were left in, and they actually ADDED some material in the first episode, initially with a scene taken from the first TV special, somewhat spoiling Goku's alien heritage, and adding a recap of the events of ''Dragon Ball'' for those who haven't seen it in a while...

And then of course came the dubs. While there have been many in all sorts of languages (and ''Z'' providing fertile ground for the fan-sub VHS market in the early 90s), the first English dub was in 1989 by Harmony Gold, who did at least the first five episodes and a combined version of the first and third movies in a few test markets. In 1995, Creator/{{Funimation}} would attempt to dub the first thirteen episodes using the Harmony Gold script as a starting point, which is where names such as Master Roshi, Power Pole, and the Flying Nimbus come from. This too did not take off ([[HistoryRepeats once again due to a poor timeslot]]), so in 1996 Funimation skipped ahead to the ''Z'' portion, which was seen as being more overtly action-focussed in its early episodes than its predecessor, and they hoped the audience would keep up with all the new characters and plot elements showing up with little-to-no introduction. They did, and the rest is history.
This is quite the contrast when compared to other territories, particularly continental Europe (specially France, Spain and Italy) and all of Spanish-speaking Latin America, where the franchise found its footing way earlier than in the English-speaking world. While the original ''Dragon Ball'' part of the story was unable to find an audience at first in the US, Goku as a child took those two territories by storm as early as 1989, becoming an instant hit among its target audience. And of course, when the series reached the ''Z'' portion of the story a couple of years later, the franchise's popularity exploded even further. By the time ''Dragon Ball Z'' finally got to conquer the United States, ''Dragon Ball'' as a whole had been a popular culture juggernaut in Europe and Latin America for almost a decade.
Initially covering the first 67 episodes, cut down into 53, plus the third movie, aired as a 3-part special, ''Z'' was at first dubbed using voice actors from Creator/{{The Ocean Group}} and distributed by Saban Entertainment in syndication, at first to early timeslots, but by the time the second season was underway, it was a huge hit. After Saban parted ways to focus on programming that they produced themselves, Creator/CartoonNetwork picked the show up for their Creator/{{Toonami}} block in 1998 just after school at 5pm, exposing ''Z'' to hundreds of thousands of American kids. Problem was, Funimation had only dubbed those 53 episodes, which ran on repeat for a year. To save money, Funimation fired the Ocean cast and hired local Texas voice actors (some practically off the street) alongside newly-composed music for their first ever in-house dub, which began airing in late 1999. And let's be honest, if you're American, ''this'' dub is probably why most of you are even here. The in-house cast would become the de-facto English cast for the franchise, with a partial cast shake-up in 2009 for the dub of ''Dragon Ball Z Kai''. The 1999 dub is infamous among those in the know for heavy alterations, including replacement music, voice actor choices, erasing mystical and {{Wuxia}} elements, changing names, "punching up" the dialogue in general, and mis-characterization. Regardless, ''Z'' continued to be a massive success in North America; the first anime would eventually be fully dubbed in English in 2001 while the ''Z'' dub was in the Cell arc. Meanwhile, the UK, Canada, and various English-speaking territories were treated to an alternate dub using much the same scripts as Funimation's dub, but with the Ocean cast, and using a score initially comprised of library tracks Ocean had built up from other productions, but became more and more its own original score as it went on. The alternate dub would then go on to dub the original series and GT, for which it would have its own cast replacement (moving voicework from Vancouver to Calgary), but they also switched to using scripts more faithfully translated from the original Japanese than Funimation's, and used the original Japanese score. They also did [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPDP3S4dYcY a really damn catchy version of the Japanese opening to GT]]. Though Funimation hit back hard against that with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0xvYlZM49Q their own version]] from their "Remastered" [=DVDs=] in 2008.

In 1989, the anime experienced a name change to ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', while the manga continued under ''Dragon Ball'' (including all future translations, except English). The reason is that the anime changed showrunner and some of the animation team (and the author [[WordOfGod thought it would be ending soon]], hence the Z). This part of the story continues by revealing that Goku is not simply a freakishly strong boy with a tail but one of the last of an alien race called Saiyans (and a runt of one at that). He was sent into space shortly before the Saiyan planet was destroyed (with shades of ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'', ''Anime/GoldenBat'', and ''[[http://www.animevice.com/prince-of-gamma/18-31482/ Prince of Gamma]]''). Goku and his friends, reinforced by former enemies have to fight progressively more powerful villains with each new adventure, with the villains now becoming a more focal point of each story. Although Goku and his martial arts skills (which let him and his friends fly, throw ki blasts, and occasionally read minds) dominate the battles, the story is also about Goku's son Gohan and how he faces these challenges. Running seven years and nearly 300 episodes, ''Z'' can be broken down into the four primary {{big bad}}s of the series: Vegeta, Freeza (Frieza in the dub), Cell, and Majin Boo (Majin Buu in the dub, or Djinn-Boo in the Creator/{{Viz|Media}} manga). Both ''Dragon Ball'' the manga and ''Dragon Ball Z'' the anime comes to a triumphant conclusion after 519 manga chapters and 444 anime episodes (plus two TV specials) after Gohan is married and his own daughter Pan enters the "Strongest Under the Heavens" tournament, with Goku departing to train his new pupil, Oob.

The franchise's impact on shōnen manga is unparalleled, to say the very least.
