[ DBZ Filler Inconsistencies ] [ The DBZ You've Never Seen ]
[ Comparison Videos ] [ Video Game Cinemas ]

While Daizenshuu EX has always been known for showcasing the latest video game openings and newly-animated cinemas, we have also begun complimenting these with some of our own productions.

Our "DBZ Filler Inconsistencies" have become extremely popular features, showcasing differences between the original manga and the TV series that may result in a disconnect between the two sources.

Our "The DBZ You've Never Seen" series of videos is an extension of the panel of the same name we have done at conventions like Otakon and AnimeNEXT. We have dug through our old tapes in hopes of bringing you some rare promo materials, commercials, and more!

Our comparison videos between the original release of the Chinese live-action movie (The Magic Begins) and the "remastered" re-release (Ultimate Edition) have also generated quite a following, showcasing some of the added CG and visual effects that usually do not enhance the scenes in any way.

Most of our video game cinemas will remain as downloads (MPEG-1, 352x240), but will also contain a streaming link. The majority of our new, in-house productions will be available as streaming-only.

As always, traditional "Anime Music Videos" (of both the DB- and non-DB variety) can be found over in the "Music Videos" section, along with some other parodies, trailers, etc.

DBZ Filler Inconsistencies
Timeframe: DB Chapter 323; DBZ Episode 100
In the manga, Vegeta is brought back to life and is almost immediately there-after transported back to Earth along with all of the Namekians, Gohan, Bulma, etc. However, in the TV series Vegeta is given some extra time in which he sees something he otherwise will not actually see until Trunks shows up in our timeline...

Timeframe: DB Chapter 255; DBZ Episode 48
In the manga, Freeza terrorizes a Namekian village and is responsible for the murder of Dende's younger brother, Cargo. In the TV series, the person responsible for this murder is changed. Why was this done? Was there some story-driven reason? (view this video externally)
Timeframe: DB Chapter 317; DBZ Episode 95
In DBZ TV episode 95, Piccolo is shot through the chest by Freeza after knocking Goku out of the way. However, in the manga, it doesn't appear that Piccolo actually pushes Goku out of the way, and rather, the blast was intended for Piccolo all along. (view this video externally)

 

The DBZ You've Never Seen
Video: Bandai Figures Commercial (1995)
This commercial can be found on the original VHS releases of "DragonBall". This was FUNimation's original dub from 1995 which aired in syndication on North American television, and was distributed on home video by Kidmark... (view this video externally)
Video: DB Television Commercial (1995)
This commercial for "DragonBall" aired during an actual episode of "DragonBall" in 1995 during its original syndication run on North American television. Note the inclusion of DBZ Movie 1 footage on the television, despite not getting to it for several years...! (view this video externally)
Video: DBZ "Arrival" Promo / Recap Trailer
This short promo played immediately before the opening theme ("Rock the Dragon") on "Arrival", the first home video/DVD release of FUNimation's English dub of DBZ from 1996. Of particular note are unedited Masako Nozawa fighting noises, followed by Ian Corlett muttering, despite him no longer voicing the character by the time they got around to dubbing DBZ movie 1...! Also note the awful VHS-quality of scenes. (view this video externally)
Video: DragonBall GT Eyedrops Commercial
This commercial aired near the end of the original Japanese broadcast of "DragonBall GT" in 1997. It features Chibi Goku, Trunks, and Pan swimming in a pool with real-life children. (view this video externally)

Video Game Cinemas
Source: DragonBall Z: Budokai 2 (PS2)
Footage: Opening Video

The opening to Budokai 2 featured the first new DragonBall song from Hironobu Kageyama ("Kusuburu Heart ni Hi o Tsukero!!") since 1997! It also featured new, crisp digital 2D animation.

Footage: Opening Video

The opening to Budokai 3 featured yet another new vocal DragonBall song from Hironobu Kageyama ("Ore wa Tokoton Tomaranai!!"), also featuring new digital 2D animation.
Source: DragonBall Z Sagas (PS2)
Footage: "Chapter 1" Video

The opening to Sagas, an American-made game (with no release as-of-yet in Japan), shockingly came out of left-field with completely new 2D digital animation created by Toei exclusively for the game!
Source: Sparking! (PS2)
Footage: Opening Video

The opening to Sparking! is a completely 3D-rendered showcase of the various characters in the game battling it out in what appears to be different realms that all end up culminating into each other.
Source: Super DragonBall Z (PS2)
Footage: Opening Video

The opening to Super DragonBall Z is an in-game engine showcase of various characters with a few fights thrown in for good measure, running at a gorgeous 60 fps.
Source: Battle Stadium D.O.N. (PS2)
Footage: Opening Video

The opening to Battle Stadium D.O.N. is an extravaganza of characters from DBZ, One Piece, & Naruto (thus the "D.O.N.") getting together for a battle using models from the in-game engine.

Footage: Ending Video

The ending to Battle Stadium D.O.N. is another extravaganza of characters from DBZ, One Piece, & Naruto all getting together for a feast and learning each others' special techniques!
Source: Sparking! NEO (PS2)
Footage: Opening Video

The opening to Sparking! NEO is certainly a continuation of what we saw in the first game. Very awkward CG renderings of characters fight each other, but with less... uhh... sense being made?
Source: Sparking! METEOR (PS2)
Footage: Opening Video

The opening to Sparking! METEOR is yet another continuation in the awkward 3D realm, this time creating a semi-fanboy-ish scenario set to the new tune "Super Survivor" by Hironobu Kageyama.
