Dragon Ball Z is the anime adaptation of the second portion of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga. It consists of 291 episodes, and was broadcast from January 31, 1989 to May 19, 1996 on Fuji TV in Japan. In Funimation's "The Final Chapters" branding for their dub of episodes 54-67 and 107-141 and Toei Animation's naming conventions for their subbed and dubbed episodes, it is referred to as the "Majin Buu Saga".


Dragon Ball Z is the sequel to the original Dragon Ball anime and adapts the latter 325 chapters of the original 519-chapter Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama which ran in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1988 to 1995. It follows the adventures of Goku who, along with his companions, defends the earth against an assortment of villains ranging from intergalactic space fighters and conquerors, unnaturally powerful androids and nearly indestructible magical creatures. While the original Dragon Ball anime followed Goku from his childhood into adulthood, Dragon Ball Z is a continuation of his adult life, but at the same time parallels the maturation of his son, Gohan, as well as other characters from Dragon Ball and more.

Dramatic, highly stylized battles between groups of heroes, anti-heroes, and villains set in the far future — on Earth and elsewhere ...

The second half is a direct sequel to the previous Dragon Ball anime and centers around the adventures and challenges that follow after Goku's first time in Otherworld.
