Dragon Ball Z is back on TV in the form of Dragon Ball Z Kai airing on Nick Toons. Kai is a condensed version of the original Dragon Ball Z series cut to be more like manga by removing most of the filler and creating a new script. Because the show is cut down without the filler, it moves quickly from one scene to the next, getting right to the fights and important parts of the story. I happend to catch a couple of episodes here and there and found myself getting abosorbed in Dragon Ball Z all over again.
The first episode I caught had Raditz arriving on Kame island, confronting his brother Goku, Goku learning that he’s an alien, Gohan being taken by Raditz, Piccollo showing up to team up with Goku, and then Goku and Piccollo taking off for Raditz and beginning the fight at the end of the episode. Normally, all of this would have taken 3 episodes to tell. In a later episode I saw, Earth’s heroes are just about to fight the Saibamen, when Yamcha shows up and kicks ass by defeating a Saibamen only to be killed when it latches onto him and explodes, all in one episode.
