I am interested in this topic. Most DB/DBZ fans know of the FUNimation and Ocean dubs, but there are many more! Here are clip samples of some of the interesting, horrible, or horribly hilarious English dubs of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z! Etsyturtle2 helped me find most of the clips, sp thanks to him for the help!

The first dub made was the Harmony Gold dub of Dragon Ball. Little is known about it, but it is said that they merged Dragon Ball movies The Curse of the Blood Rubies and Mystical Adventure to create a VHS film that was aired in some local Philadelphia stations. It is also said that they dubbed the first 5 DB episodes, but little footage has been found. Here is the first intro, Mystical Adventure!, in the Harmony Gold English format! Here Goku is called Zero.

The next dub is the Ocean dub, made by an early FUNimation! The dub was a heavily censored version to air on TV appropriate for kids. Goku is still Goku here. There was a new intro for this version. They also dubbed DBZ in the same style.

Next, is the actual FUNimation dub. The dubbed Dragon Ball/DBZ mostly uncensored. They dubbed Mystical Adventure and Rock the Dragon for English openings.

Next post will be the horrible Big Green and Speedy dubs!
