There have been numerous rumored reports stating that the Dragonball Evolution film will re-release into theaters. However, nothing is neither official or confirmed on this. ...
It has been confirmed. Everyone in the U.S. will get the chance to watch Dragon Ball Z Kai on television this spring. Here is an excerpt from the official press release.
Dragon Ball Z Kai, premiering on Nicktoons in May 2010, follows the last descendants of an evil race of warriors, known as the Saiyans, on their collision course with Earth. Goku–the strongest fighter on the planet–is all that stands between humanity and extinction and must face the villainous Saiyan warlord. Dragon Ball Z Kai is developed by Funimation Entertainment.
The box art for season four of Dragon Ball has been revealed. Here is a description of this item :
Goku’s headed for a showdown with a sinister green fiend!
A new breed of evil – more powerful than anything ever experienced – is taking the world’s greatest martial artists down for the count. Goku is quick to join the fight, but he’s about to meet his match in the form of King Piccolo. This menacing monster has the power to pulverize the planet, and his murderous rampage will not stop until he controls the power of the seven magic Dragon Balls.
When Krillin is the first hero cut down by the monster’s minion, the stage is set for a brutal grudge match between Goku and Piccolo. Earth’s greatest champion vows to avenge the loss of his best friend, but first, he must journey to Korin Tower on a quest for the Ultra Divine Water: a magical elixir that could give him the strength to save humanity – or send him straight to the grave!
You can pre-order Season Four from Amazon at a set price of $44.99.

CNN reports the official FUNimation and Toei Animation announcement concerning Dragon Ball Z Kai.
“Navarre Corporation (Nasdaq:NAVR) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary FUNimation® Entertainment and Japanese powerhouse producer Toei Animation Co., Ltd. have entered into a multi-year agreement for the U.S. anime leader to distribute the latest chapter of the genre-establishing Dragon Ball franchise, “Dragon Ball Z Kai.”
“Dragon Ball Z Kai has been hotly anticipated in the states,” said Gen Fukunaga, president and CEO of FUNimation Entertainment. “We are pleased to come together with Toei and offer passionate fans, who have been waiting for developments in the Dragon Ball universe, the opportunity to see the new series.”
There have been rumored reports going around that Dragon Ball Z Kai will hit North American television stations sometime this fall. There is no concrete evidence on this just yet. But seeing how Japan is already streaming DB Kai on TV and Mexico will air it via Televisa in 2011, it is very possible that North America will see DB Z Kai aired on TV soon as well. We will keep you updated.
Watch episode 45 of Dragon Ball Kai – It’s a 20-Fold Kaio-ken! A Kamehameha With Everything on the Line. We normally do not do this, but I decided to post the next few episodes online since we are approaching Goku’s Super Saiyan transformation. If anyone wishes to watch previous DB Kai episodes in high quality, then visit our affiliate : DBZEpisode.org. Enjoy.
As Kanzentai reported, we will be seeing Goku transform into the legendary Super Saiyan in Dragon Ball Kai very soon. But what exactly should we expect from TOEI Animation? I expect a visually enhanced transformation with brightened golden aura. But it will be interesting to see what’s done music wise. We will find out when the episode airs two weeks from now. Here is a translated list with dates of the next two Dragon Ball Kai episodes.
Episode 046 – February 28, 2010 「これが最後の切り札だ!悟空の特大元気玉」 “This is the Last Trump Card! Goku’s Extra-Large Genki-dama”
Episode 047 – March 7, 2010 「目覚めろ伝説の戦士…超サイヤ人、孫悟空!」 “Awaken, Legendary Warrior… Son Goku, the Super Saiyan!”
Post in the comments what you would like to see enhanced with this legendary transformation. When the Super Saiyan episode airs I will snag a clip of the transformation for everyone to view.
