Dragon Ball Kai
Dragon Ball Kai
Dragon Ball Kai is a revised version of the anime series Dragon Ball Z produced in commemoration of the original’s twentieth anniversary. It began broadcasting on Fuji Television on April 5, 2009. It features remastered high definition picture, sound, and special effects as well as a re-recorded voice track by the original cast. As most of the series’ sketches and animation cels had been discarded since the final episode of Dragon Ball Z in 1996, new frames were produced by digitally tracing over still frames from existing footage and filling them with softer colors; thus reducing visible damage to the original animation. Some frames were selectively cropped, while other frames feature new portions added to scenes that were hand drawn to conform to the designated picture ratio. Much of the material original to the Dragon Ball Z anime, including whole story arcs, will be left out, reducing the episode count from 291 episodes to a hundred total
The first episode : Gohan, Goku’s four-year-old son, is missing. Goku heads out on his flying cloud to search for him and eventually finds and retrieves him. Meanwhile, a farmer witnesses a spacecraft landing. A man emerges from the vessel and flies off to scout out a powerful life form he locates with the help of an aparatus on his eye. The life form, Piccolo, is nearly killed by the stranger, but this is averted when the man leaves to scout out a more powerful lifeform. The other strong lifeform is Goku who at Master Roshi’s house presents his son to the host, Krillin, and Bulma. The stranger lands and speaks to Goku in a familiar manner.
