- I realized there wasn't a high-quality version of this on youtube so here it is. This is the original opening by Pioneer featuring the "Rock The Dragon" song. This was ripped straight from the Pioneer DVDs with Handbrake on the highest quality.

RIP Akira Toriyama
This is the ONLY version on RUclips that is the original, as was played on tv in the 90s. Perfect upload.
Good old Ocean Dub days.
Agree, they upload hds and uhds, but nothing can beat that feeling of 480p in an old 4:3 tv screen
I completely for got pioneer did the original dub I have the freeza saga orange box
These best days of my life
Yeah this is the only one I can see the the background flash and shenron’s eye flash at the beginning like I remember from the 90s!
almost 30 years and this is still the most head banging anime OP.
One punch man has this one beat

@@xaviersantini8176 nope
This is great but Perlude to Conflict was better in my opinion
0:10 oh boy that never gets old
The classic moves are always the best.
The moves Goku used before he became a super Saiyan always had finesse
Catching this intro randomly as a 7 year old kid in the morning before school changed my life in ways I never expected. Also looking back it’s rather amusing how much gets spoiled (Goku and Vegeta going Super Saiyan and showing off Trunks when we wouldn’t see him for YEARS).
Yes I would always wonder who that guy with the purple hair was and wonder why Goku Goku went blonde, but man idk what it is about this show that's caught my attention and even my mother was hooked on it. She was hyper then me when Goku arrived at the battlefield to meet Vegeta and nappa
DAMN! MASTER ROSHI!!!
I always thought his part was so badass.
Of course it's Badass. It's from World's Strongest. In fact, most of the stuff in this is from the first four movies.
@@kadindarklord First THREE movies
I love this intro because of the fights from those first DBZ movies. They had great fights because it had a nice mix of martial arts and energy blast. Plus, this intro just feels more raw.
❤❤❤❤I agree with you but do you know something that’s kind of misleading is that Goku’s fighting style is always being mistaken as chinese wushu or kung fu as some might say but still no not even close based on what I can tell being a fan of Dragonball Z and of martial arts in real life Goku fighting style totally isn’t chinese at all his fighting style is more of superhero fighting style with ridiculous exaggerated superpowers and also more of 90% mixture of both Shotokan and Kyokushin Karate with Taekwondo and only 10% is a mixture of some chinese martial arts like Hung Kar and Bajiquan which is the only chinese martial arts style that he has with a little bit of other styles like Muay Thai , Boxing , Brawling , Pro Wrestling and some Gymnastics. As you can see here Son Goku ain’t no Kung Fu expert or Judoka or even a grappler he’s more of a Karateka / Taekwondo Master / Bodybuilder / Superhero than a chinese martial arts expert or even a judoka or grappler in MMA and he sure as hell ain’t no martial artist that’s for sure but still he’s great he’s my favourite anime character ever
@@rudichong3869 Very illiterate for a martial artist.
Nah, his' form is very chinese.
@@Jago-Shogun not really Goku fighting style is totally not chinese I know take my word for it only his stances and poses infact Goku’s fighting style is more of a mixture of Kyokushin karate and Taekwondo get it I know because I’ve learned chinese martial arts before and Goku is no chinese martial artist his forms may look chinese but it’s not it’s nothing more of Kyokushin Karate and Taekwondo with some ridiculous kung fu stances and poses get it infact Goku fighting style only has a tiny bit of chinese martial arts and that is Bajiquan and a tiny bit of other fighting styles such as Muay Thai and Japanese style Pro Wrestling get it
@@Jago-Shogun nope you’re wrong Goku’s fighting style is totally not chinese martial arts I know because I’m chinese and I’ve learned chinese martial arts before and this ain’t no chinese martial arts its totally a mixture of both Kyokushin Karate and Taekwondo and not kung fu only his stances and poses look like chinese martial arts and his forms look a little bit of chinese martial arts but his fighting style is entire not chinese trust me I know I wonder why fans are so dumb to not know that
@@rudichong3869 I'm not taking anyones word for anything especially when you can't punctuate and your run on sentence is a headache to read, master of bum-fu.
In the late 90s when I came home from school, I happened to turn on the TV and Dragon Ball Z was on. Don't know if the action hooked me or the intro music, but I was hooked after that.
Oh it was definitely the intro music for me. Came for the intro music, stayed for the action.
RIP Akira Toriyama 🐉🙏🏼
Fifth. Seriously, this upload has the greatest quality of all Rock the Dragon videos on RUclips, and it has virtually zero views. That needs to be changed.
Yeah same here, searched for this particular video all over youtube.
I typically enjoy the Japanese version of DBZ the most, but I must say I enjoyed this theme and the Pioneer episodes that aired when I was a kid.
Oddly enough, the HD versions on RUclips have missing frames/bad frame rates. This has everything. Thank you.
When you're happy, you enjoy the music. When you're sad, you understand the lyrics.
Dragon Dragon Rock The Dragon!!
Dragon Ball Z
@@freddyfazbear5983dragon, dragon dragon come get me
0:51 love that grunt from Tien. It's like a Tom G. warrior "ough".
"What about the dub score?"
"Oh, yeah, let's start THAT flame war"
Good old days
I was lucky enough (I say lucky because I live in the UK) to get the Pioneer DVD 'Destruction' (featuring the infamous 'It's over 9000!' episode) recently, and words could not describe how happy I was when this intro played.
UK guy here same the price of that dvd is ridiculous
Train With The Dragon Akira Toriyama! You will be missed but never forgotten!
Yo the old animation was sooo cleannnn I’m glad I grew up watching this
Dragon Ball Z rocks
I remember watching Dbz on toonami at 10 pm on the weekend I watched it every week plus growing up I never had a bed time I feel a sleep watching tv and never had a problem waking up in the morning the good old days I miss my childhood
You did a perfect attempt to capture a video of the intro in high quality. Good job.
Pretty much what introduced many others and myself to anime as a child of the 90s. It was definitely something else.
How is that almost EVERY theme song for this show kicks ass ?
This is the best one. Period.
@@UberMadSkillsalong with ocean dub’s dragonball intro
@@UberMadSkillsyeah if you're a youngster
this television show is amazing i wished it could come on toonami rerun and max
This is the original opening i grew up with. Other youtube videos of this opening dont have that light flash in the beginning with shenron when the music starts. I had to download and save this one lol
I love at the end when the dragon ball comes flying around Goku, and then he turns super Sayian awesome.
This opening used or sheets trip me out as a kid because it used scenes from the movies. So as a kid I always wondered why I never saw those episodes.
DRAGON DRAGON ROCK THE DRAGON!
DRAGONBALL Z!
The best theme song and video of all time
Ocean/Saban In UK/Canada TV Broadcast With Cartoon Network CNX And Toonami
This is my childhood watching Dragon Ball Z on Cheez TV on Channel Ten every Weekday Morning before School and during the School Holidays
Yeaaaah.... I just realized that about 97% of this is the movies....
1% are shots made for this intro, which includes the blasts from Tien and Vegeta going SSJ. The last 2% is nappa flying through the plane and Trunks killing Frieza.
And I'm pretty sure the Trunks scene is actually made FOR this Intro, as it doesn't quite resemble the actual scene.
Don't get me wrong, I love the music. But putting that aside... wow.
This intro is what got me to watch this show
If it were the japanese intro i probably would've ingored it.
Young me even missed out later watching such madter peice as the justice keague/unlimited
Stop wearing all head phones with your cell phones alex lightning ❤
I love Chala head Chala, but this Song Is amazing
The singer of that song sang it in English as well
I spent so much paper route money on DBZ VHS tapes.....wish I still had them.
I still have the complete VHS set!
@@VinnyCThatWhoIBe I love the picture the sides of the boxes made.
@@UberMadSkills I loved the artworks for those sets. They were so cool

90% clips from the Movies
5% Nappa from the Series
5% from the Japanese Intro
100% 90s Nostalgia
I recently started dbz an i love it. I knew about it sonce i was young and mustve heard this. Thanks akira toriyama rest in peace. And thank you to the animators and voice actors
Ocean dub will always be the best dub. Wish I could watch ocean dub on crunchy roll.
Damn they had to scour the non Canon movies for a part to try and make Yamcha look cool and it's still just him getting his ass kicked
0:50
Awesome show
Even though I prefer watching the show in the English dub and this is a great intro, to me, nothing beats the Japanese intro
Oh memories ❤❤❤ ❤
Chillssssss!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank You Akira Toriyama
Akira would never make a stupid intro theme repeat it self he’s Japanese not American
@Suhadisgood no I meant thank you Akira Toriyama for creating Dragon Ball
Why was this not every version 0.o
I am glad Brazil kept the original, Just with different lyrics of course.
Moh Shaivam wants to use kamehame on Amarnath Lingam,
So that I can see him and Show him
I want to see a vid where Japanese fans react to this for the first time! I'd kill to see what they they think of this! 😎
Super
When everyone was relevant
I was jealous of Japan and Mexico they got the better intro with chala head chala all I hear is dragon ball z back and forth not a real intro theme not even a song
💯👍
Remeber being a child and having no idea why they where turing blonde 🤣
While there was that, but the part that gets me is that it had Trunks at the end. He didn’t appear until after Funimation started doing the Dubbing on their own instead of hiring Pioneer to release the series with the Canadian Dub.
What the hell is this?? Is better the original songs
Thank God i was born brazilian
