What is the difference between Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Z Kai
It is not called "Dragon Ball Z Kai". It's just "
Dragon Ball Kai".
Dragon Ball Kai is an digitally remastered version of
Dragon Ball Z with better graphics, audio, new music and new voice actors. Also,
Dragon Ball Kai has a different beginning and end than
Dragon Ball Z. In addition (or subtraction), they removed about 200 episodes from
Dragon Ball Z for
Dragon Ball Kai, making a long 300 episode series into a short 100 episode series.
To prevent any further complication, here is a list of all the generations of Dragon Ball:
Dragon Boy: A short 2 chapter manga based on a book called "
Journey to the West". It was Akira Toriyama's original version of
Dragon Ball.
Dragon Ball: A remake of
Dragon Boy. It was originally a weekly comic in the
Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. It was later turned into a manga. Not only was this version of
Dragon Boy much longer but it was also one of the most popular manga ever created. It not only has a manga but it also has an anime.
Dragon Ball Z: This manga/anime was originally part of
Dragon Ball but they separated it from
Dragon Ball and renamed it "
Dragon Ball Z". This generation is the sequel to
Dragon Ball.
Dragon Ball GT: This is the sequel to
Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball GT has a different animation style than
Dragon Ball and
Dragon Ball Z.
Dragon Ball GT is unfortunately the shortest series of all generations and it does not have a manga.
Dragon Ball Kai: The digitally remastered version of
Dragon Ball Z with a new beginning and an end
. They removed a significant amount of episodes as well.
Dragonball Evolution: Dragonball Evolution is a live action movie (that is rumored to soon become a series of movies) that is based on
Dragon Ball.
Dragon Ball AF: Dragon Ball AF is a series created by fans. It was originally an April Fools prank ("AF" probably stands for "April Fools") which involved lying to people about a new generation coming out soon. After people waited too long, they no longer has faith in the rumor. Later, fans of Dragon Ball decided to actually make a manga for Dragon Ball AF.
