Dragon Ball Harmony Gold Dub REAL Intro and Credits

- This is the actual opening to the Harmony Gold dub of the Blood Rubies movie, as well as the credits that played after the Mystical Adventure movie.
The other "Harmony Gold" videos are really just the Japanese intro video spliced with an MP3 that someone made of the Harmony Gold song. You can see this is almost the same at the Latin American version that Harmony Gold did except for the slightly different credits.

Funny how this opening used footage from the second Japanese opening, whereas Funimation's full dub never used such footage at any point.
So this is what Universe 6's Earth looked like...
Totally
Imagine Goku from Universe 7 meet Zero from Universe 6. 😅
Imagine a kid who watched this in 1989 and then finds out about the Funimation Dub when the kid was older.
How would the person react?
I was just happy to see dragon ball again. I remember watching this dub and then fox started airing dragon ball z. I didn't know they were diffrent series at the time dragon ball and dbz. i was just happy to be watching dragon ball again
I'd feel cheated.
@@BIGBamBam86 I doubt cause you'd have had to have been in a few VERY specific areas of the country to have seen it
I’d say “wasn’t his name Zero?
"Where is Bongo?"
1:39 Evil times have fallen on the land
that made goku really happy
Goku is secretly on team evil lol
Hm, so this is a timeline where either Tullece was sent to Earth instead of Kakarot or Zamasu' Zero Mortal Plan started way early...
@Aaron Ruiz r/wooooooooooosh
It means he has someone to fight, so that checks out.
Fun Fact: Barbara Goodson, who is also known for voicing the main character in FLCL, and for being Rita Ripulsa in Power Rangers voices Goku here.
Oh wow👍👍
What's even insane...now that I think about it...Masako Nozawa voiced 2 characters in the original source for Voltron - Golion which was Pidge/Chibi and Witch Haggar/Honerva and years later, she becomes Goku. Barbara Goodson voices Goku here and years later, she becomes Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers. Circle completed.
laharl voices goku O_o
I actually like this intro version more than the one we got in the later English dub
Aside from some questionable lyrics, I'm glad they kept the original Japanese theme tune. Honestly, I think the footage here is bad-ass, and this may even be (in terms of footage used) the best intro to the original DB I've seen.
I’m surprised no one has pointed out the sound effects used for the intro, for the late 80s this is really sick and i gotta give them some credit for that.
They had Cheryl Chase as the voice of Puar (known in the dub as Squeakers). But you may know her best as the voice actor for Angelica Pickles on "Rugrats"!
So, I assume:
King Piccolo: Bad guys working everywhere!
Piano/Pilaf: Wise guys, they don't know at all!
"Piccolo" sounds a lot like CGI Ganon, if you ask me.
I doubt it. This was broadcast over 20 years ago and the station was absorbed by UPN. I don't think they air anything themselves these days.
Some folks on one of the Dragonball forums have been in contact with someone who worked for Harmony Gold who is apparently trying to find the original tapes.
And now the first 5 episode have been found
@@tsukashipaisen3451 only 5 episodes are dubbled?
Nice. I remember while watching DBZ as a kid, my cousin told me he watched "Dragon Ball" at some point as a kid and was a big fan. This must be the version he watched.
When did you first watched it? For all I know, maybe he could be talking about the 1995 dub.
@@weegoh8324 I watched it on Toonami in 1998, I'm almost positive he was talking about this Dragon Ball dub as he was ~10 years older than me
Ok
If he ever called goku zero it was 100% this version
It got axed early on because it had a hard time finding an audience. Even Funimation when they went to do it axed it after about 13 or 14 episodes and skipped straight to Z. And even Z had a hard time finding an audience when it aired in syndication until Toonami picked it up and turned it into the phenonmenon it was in the States. And only after Z was a success did Dragon Ball get dubbed in full and remembered
ch2010ize . Then why didn't Fox Kids this up in 1995?!
.. why didn't Fox Kids pick up dbz, sailor Moon, Monster Rancher, MegaMan he's a fighting robot, Pokemon, tenchi muyo, and tenchi universe in 1996 and transform their sat lineup into Toonzai?
I know this comment is 9 years old, but just to clarify... Its been a MASSIVE misnomer for years that DBZ's original syndication in '96 was a flop, until Toonami picked it up. Nothing could be farther from the truth. DBZ was popular even before it came to Toonami, TV ratings from the time proves this. Old usnet posts from the time period prove this. And just think about, if DBZ really was such a big flop, why the HELL would Cartoon Network pick it up in the first place?
Great song, the only low point was with the children's cheering.
+Franco Msgl It was market to children.
Neoguest I know, but the cheering kind of breakes the tone...
My dad actually has an original recording of this, ads and all, from the 1 time it was aired in Philadelphia.
That’s the same broadcast this came from. I had the whole thing up on RUclips briefly but it was taken down. It’s out there somewhere.
That's another good point, most of the voice work in this dub is really good for 1989, not only that but as you said HG kept the original music which isn't something many anime dubs could say back then, another thing people harp on is the censorship which I'm going to be honest and say that the censorship isn't that bad, sure it's there but it doesn't really hinder the experience that much, heck I'd even go so far as to say that HG's dub of movie 1 is actually better than Funimations's 1995 dub.
superrayman3 I agree
Agreed. The most notable example I can think of is when Master Roshi gives Bulma the Dragon Ball. The 1995 dub has him give her it without hesitation yet we clearly see her annoyed for some reason. The Harmony Gold dub retains his perverted nature as best it can and has the villains commenting on her foul mood.
The shot of Roshi with a nosebleed saying she's not the friendliest person he's ever met gives off the impression that he tried his usual funny business off screen and got punched for it, making the scene in my opinion infinitely funnier than the uncut original.
I don't know why, but this my favorite opening for the original Dragon Ball, but when you think about why, it's probably because I'm an 80s and early 90s music addict. Someday I hope to do a remix, but the lyrics will be changed slightly (it'll no longer say "Zero is our hero", but "Goku is our hero" for obvious reasons).
Correction: $40 for a VHS tape.
You are entirely right otherwise. Most of the people complaining about name-change stuff had no idea how hard it was to see anime or HK movies back then. We were just grateful to get anything at that point. Eventually we learned the names were wrong but it wasn't a big deal.
If you ever get the chance to see the dub I'd recommend it, when I first sat down to watch the dub, I honestly had low expectations since many anime's dubbed from that time were pretty laughable however when I got finished watching it I was really impressed, the voice work was pretty good for the most part, the censorship wasn't too extreme and the scripting was pretty faithful to the original source (it's not perfect but it's alot more faithful than what FUNimation did with those movies)
superrayman3 I agree
Exactly. This dub has good voicework in general and doesn't screw with the score. For that alone it's better than some.
I could live with some funny names when this came out because the option was this or nothing.
Now you know what it felt like to hear people talk about what they liked about "Star Blazers" over "Yamato" if only for some of those things they knew and loved of first seeing the show that way.
I remember watching Dragonball on channel 23 back in the 80's, and then didn't see anything more about it until Cartoon Network and was like WTF IS THIS?!
My left ear feels lonely
Post-production Coordinator: Fabiola Stevenson.
She is Guillermo Romano's Daughter (Guillermo Romano's true name is Carlos Stevenson, he's a Voice Actor, better known as 1966 Batman spanish voice)
The Harmony Gold Dub was done at Intersound which also dubbed a lot of Spanish products, so not surprising.
isn't this one where korin is whiskers the wondercat
Shoop 1 yep
You have got to remember, this was in 1989 and Anime was like unknown here in the US. It was 40 bucks to get a single dvd. Harmony Gold were trying to make Anime more viewable and understandable to kids in the US so they changed the names. But either way, from the Clips I have seen. This dub was really good and is kinda like the start from Blue Ocean dub. Actually, some people from this dub went to Funi or Blue Ocean, the Master Roshi in this is the one in Blue Ocean.
Facts.
About time Yajirobe was given some recognition.
For those interested here's a complete list of all voice actors that are credited in the Harmony Gold Dub along with the names they went by:
Betty Gustafson = Barbara Goodson
Wendee Swan = Wendee Lee
Clif Wells = Clifton Wells
Jeffrey Platt = Michael McConnohie
Myron Mensah = Robert Axelrod
Colin Philips = Dave Mallow
Reba West = Rebecca Forstadt
Ryan O'Flannagan = Kerrigan Mahan
Penny Sweet = Edie Mirman
Ray Michaels = Mike Reynolds
Ted Lehman = Tad Layman
A. Gregory = Bill Capizzi (deceased)
1:53 Akria Toriyama been credited and those Macross fanatics say Harmony Gold don't credit the creators.
BlameItOnJorge.
He should cover this and the speedy dub too.
0:34 WHY ZERO ?
Megapithicanthrope That's understandable.
Megapithecanthrope I thought Goku meant sky
In the show goku name is zero for no reason
@@Daisy-xo9cq😂😂😂 that would be Sora goku means nothing/empty zero.
it premired in 1989 around christmas I remember it well and it was a great year for me
Thank you so much for posting this. Really hoping to have the full movies some day... silly Funimation. No one would watch this *in place of* their DVDs. This is for collectors of the obscure!
Apparently people did care about what Harmony Gold did to DB back then because Harmony Gold's dub of DB was axed pretty early on, from what I've heard Harmony Gold only dubbed the first 5 episodes as well as the first and third movies (which they combined to make a feature film) before DB got scrapped, the sad thing is script wise the Harmony Gold dub was overall more faithful to the Japanese script and the wording and emotion sounds more natural compared to FUNimations dubs of these movies.
superrayman3 I agree
I don't know which company has the better English Dub?
Golden Harmony
Funimation
Big Green
Ocean Group
this was dumb, changing goku's name to Zero? I honestly don't know why everyone hates on Funimation, personally they were my favorite dub and still are
Danger... Daring... Deadly... Dragon... Zero is our heeerooooo... Dragonball! This is kinda catchy, in spite of the original lyrics being changed.
@DrxSlump This is the intro for the Curse of the Blood Rubies movie and the outro for the Mystical Adventure movie. Both were taped off the now defunct station "Philly 57".
People's say this dub sucks and all, and while the Funimation dub is marginally better, for a late 80s (1989) this actually isn't that bad
I like that they kept the original Japanese backing track. The song writing seems somewhat lazy and uncreative compared to the 2002 dub, though. Especially how they left the "let's try try try" passage instrumental.
@Trackball816 That's pretty funny. According to a list someone posted somewhere a lot of these names are "alternates"; possibly owing to this job being a non-union one. "Christy Mathewson" is supposedly an Eddie Frierson.
@iamsomerandomdude It was taped it off TV. I hear it may be up elsewhere.
They did a great job adapting the main theme...
I've never seen the dub, so I can't pass judgement on how she did, but I can't see Barbara Goodson (AKA Rita Repulsa!) as Son Goku. It just sounds... odd...
deathedge2000 I think it sounds better than the voice Funimation used for Goku in their 2000’s dub of Dragon Ball. Barbara’s Goku sounds more like a cheerful little kid. But that’s my opinion.
@XtremeXRayProduction My friend recorded it on VHS (he thinks around xmas of 1989).
@Trackball816 Most Harmony Gold/Intersound stuff of this era had stage names for many voice actors as they were union people working for a non-union operation.
Hard to believe Cheryl Chase (Angelica Pickles from Rugrats) is in this one.
Cool
Seems like Harmany Gold are still known for pirate quality picture and mono sound by the later 80s then.
Their own label Master Vision/Kids Cartoon Collection are the absolute worse though at least other desributers of their stuff try and get a good picture like this one although the sound is still crap.
You do realize this is a broadcast recording that was recorded in EP/SLP mode and not SP mode right?
Didn't even know they had broadcast versions but since it's the same quality as their own releases they are even crap on the TV versions as well.
I thought Harmony Gold US/Master Vision UK have been rubbish ever since seeing The Little Train as a kid on Harmony Gold's/Master Vision's Kid's Cartoon Collection label in the UK.
The stories may be classics and it may be a funny veriation of those tales in parts but overall the drowney mono sound made the music and voice acting sound bad and the picture has their trademark wobblely bar at the top and bottom that tracking don'thelp with.
It's funny to see all their trademarks pop up on a US TV Broadcast version of another one of their dubs.
Harmony Gold are great for being so rubbish they are great.
Daniel Cordell The only confirmed source of the Harmony Gold dub of Dragon Ball is television broadcast, I've heard some people say that Streamline Pictures (founded by a few people who originally worked at Harmony Gold) released a very limited VHS release of Harmony Gold's dub of Dragon Ball Movies 1&3, but thus far there's been no actual evidence to prove such a tape exists.
I agree. I am an anime fan, and I think people are too whiny about dubbing. So what if they add in a joke, or change a line? It doesn't really matter, it's still the same show...
Hmmm... No it isn't, have you seen it?
This show was nothing like Dragon Ball same as Voltron was nothing like Beast King Go Lion +Armored Fleet Dairugger XV. Same as Battle of The Planets, Eagle Riders and G-Force were nothing like Science Ninja Team Gatchaman + 7Zark7 + 1Rover1. Same as with Robotech was nothing like Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Century Orguss, Fang of the Sun Dougram, Megazone 23 part 1 and Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross.
But unlike G-Force or Robotech, this time around Harmony Gold din't have much to work for with this series because it didn't have much SCI-FI and the story was consistently linear and character focused they couldn't just throw other series and mix them to make a new somehwat cohesive story.
So the best way they found out to create a new story was to completely scramble the episodes changing all the names and plots and throwing the unrelated OVA movies as sequential episodes making them cannon with the series. There's a good way to make a story and those are Voltron, Robotech and G-Force. This is NOT the way.
The only redeeming quality I see from this dubbing is that the colors in the animation was much more polished, colorful and vibrant as opposed to the dry and kind of faded animation the original Dragon Ball series had.
This was an extra treatment Harmony Gold always did to it's series to make them look more polished because they worked with 70's series and so that's how Zero And The Dragon got that but it was it.
Everything else was is terrible, and don't get me started with Goku named Zero, Krillin named Bongo and Korin being called Whiskers the Wonder Cat.
nostalgia flood
You can also count me in the camp that will forever prefer "Derek Wildstar" to "Susumu Kodai" if only for the reason I heard the former first.
@sonikku956 yeah its kinda like how in the original pokemon story ash's name was actually blue and gary was red. but for the yellow version game and the show and the newer comic they changed it.
People are just spoiled now a days. Back then anime were cartoons like anything else. We knew there was something different about them, something unique, but we didn't know or care that names were changed, lesbians were turned to cousins, blood was cleaned up, whole episodes were skipped. Now anime fans whine if a line of dialog gets changed
I see they want to call the new series "Star Blazers: 2199" for international use in much the same way.
I agree this dub gets alot of hate for many of the wrong reasons, people keep complaining about name changes in this dub but seem to forget that name changing wasn't something that was exclusive to this dub of DB, Capcoms Rockman character was renamed Megaman here in the states people didn't bitch about it, same thing with Namco's Puck-man he was renamed Pac-man when it was released stateside and people didn't bitch about the name change, so why is this dub of DB being bashed for name changes?
Holy crap how did you get this on video too?
Far from it Funimation used completely different opening lyrics for both their original 1995 dub and their 2001 redub openings for Dragon Ball.
they only ever dubbed the first and third movies and first 5 episodes, and its pretty difficult to find anywhere
@WillieD7
I should have know thats where I first saw it and I would watch them all the time hoping for an encore and watched the ocean dub of dragon ball on it remebering the previous one
A friend taped it when it was shown on broadcast TV, sometime around 1989-90. Some Dragonball fans are working on getting a legit version of this released from Harmony Gold's vault. I've heard a version is currently floating around somewhere. Try reading the older comments.
@sonikku956 They used to make changes like that when they brought anime series to the US to make the characters "more palatable" to American audiences. Kinda dumb. Aside from the name changes I still really like this dub.
Is the voice actor for Goku the same voice actor for Laharl from Disgaea?
Edit: it is!
Rip of "Zero y el Dragon Magico"
where did you get this!!!!!!!! is there a way you could post the whole movie?
Did they call Goku "Zero?"
Did you record the rest of the episode except the haf
@magmaRoo7 uhhh that's hella incorrect. Red is the name of the trainer from the manga that ash is based off. They are NOT the same person, and the same goes for blue and Gary
If they kept the translated lyrics to the original song, it will be a better dub.
Narrator: Evil times have fallen on the land.ku
Goku: Yaaayy! Ha ha ha ha ha! >:D
lmao XD
@pokewhiz7 That's what was there originally.
So..
My ear went stop working
Was this also the intro for the few episodes what were aired?
Coolness. XD
Yaaaaayyy! :D
Harmony Gold is the absolute worst. They continue to hold the Macross license hostage.
Evil times have fallen upon the land zero yeaaaaaa
3:24
I can’t see Gorky being named zero
They kept in the scene of Roshi and the girlie mag?
1:24 I wonder, from where they appear those monsters?
Fernikart57 the second Dragon Ball movie, “Sleeping Princess in the Devil’s Castle”, which Harmony Gold didn’t dub.
@VideoGameResearcher where at
@XtremeXRayProduction
the movie the eps are a new one on me
Dragon ball vs sailor moon
Let's try try try makafushigi
The Harmony gold dub is sucks. I prefer the funimation dub.
it's not that bad for the time, but yeah, it sucks hard.
While I'm inclined to agree, when you consider they were trying to adapt it to be an American Cartoon in the late '80s...it kinda fits the bill. :P
Even for the 80s, every aspect of this dub must've been cheesy. But hey at least the intro doesn't sound as forced as Funimation's take on the opening. I don't see why Funi opted for a full on top-to-bottom cover of the song instead of voicing it over the existing karaoke track of the original Japanese version.
***** Did you ever see the episodes in Harmony Gold or just the movies?
*****
Do you know where I can see the episodes?
Could you re-up the full dub somewhere?
animfan98 Yes.
@ZachariasHelldog
I would buy it and dvd it
that*
Philly 57.
Where do you get that clip
Ripped it myself from a VHS recording of a TV broadcast. Apologies for the single audio track. I was using a lousy VCR with only one audio out.
Why is goku called zero
😂😂 its a translation of Goku
This dub suck
Would be lucky if the station did have the tapes, but the legal issues would be obvious.
Does WPSG still has the tapes?
What station was this?
