DBZ Kai season one (part two) is now available for pre-order via Amazon. Although this current season is airing on TV, it has not released on home video yet. Look forward to it very soon though. Visit our Dragonball Z Kai page for more information on the show.

The new opening for DB Kai is now being shown with the new episodes in Japan. This time, the second portion of the intro reveals the Android saga in new animation.

The finalized English version of the opening to Dragon Ball Z Kai has released.

Also, the first domestic release of DBZ Kai has shipped early to those that pre-ordered it via Rightstuff.

In a recent press release, FUNimation and CW4Kids have announced that the English dubbed version of DB Kai will air on the CW in the 2010-2011 season.

4Kids Entertainment has reached agreement with FUNimation Entertainment and Toei Animation Co., Ltd., to license the U.S. broadcast television rights to the new animated television series “Dragon Ball Z Kai”.

Sneak peeks of “Dragon Ball Z Kai” will be seen this summer before the series premieres as a regularly scheduled program on TheCW4Kids Saturday morning block during the 2010-2011 broadcast season. 4Kids will also have “Dragon Ball Z Kai” episodes available for streaming on its popular www.4kids.tv and www.4kidstv.com websites.

Thanks to a member from Daizex forums, an upcoming catalog from Rightstuff has been leaked online. It shows a September 14th 2010 release date for the next Dragon Ball Z Kai home video release (Z Kai Part Two). You can view that scan on the right. Now personally I think this is a rather large time frame become the release dates of part 1 and 2. DBZ Kai airs on Nicktoons in May as well as part one of the home video release. So it appears most DB fans’ first impressions of DBZ Kai will be based on the edited version on Nicktoons.

The official Nicktoons website has released several DBZ Kai clips. In these new clips we get to see a glimspe of FUNimation’s version of Dragon Ball Kai. But note that these are edited and will be as such when the series airs on TV in May. It seems that Nicktoons took a step further than Cartoon Network and is treating this series with the same kind of respect. Aspects such as Bardock’s scar, Roshi holding a beer and blood in general has been edited out. So for those that wish to see DBZ Kai in all it’s glory, I highly suggest buying the season DVD/Blu-ray sets, since those are 100% uncut and unedited. Check out the clips after the break!

Daizex has reported from several sources along with information gathered at  recent conventions some new details about DBZ Kai. Here is a basic summary of what was leaked.

• Kai will be edited on Nicktoons unlike the home release.
• English dubbed versions of the opening/closing themes to each episode have been made.
• Dialogue and names have been treated with much more respect this time around.
• Episode titles are much more faithful to the original version.

FUNimation has released a brand new trailer for Dragon Ball Z Kai. The newly dubbed voices can be heard in this new DBZ Kai teaser. Check out the new trailer after the break! So what do you guys think of Krillin and Gohan’s new dubbed voice? Discuss in the comments. DBZ Kai releases on home video May 18th 2010 and premieres on Nicktoons May 24th 2010.

The original FUNimation voice actor for Cell (Dameon Clarke) has been replaced by Travis Willingham, at least according to his official website. He will be voicing Imperfect and Perfect Cell in Dragon Ball Z Kai. This person also dubbed Cell in the video game, Dragon Ball Raging Blast. If you wish to hear an example of his voice acting as Cell, then listen to the audio clips after the break!

Daizex has provided some supposed new Dragon Ball Z Kai details for when the new Z series airs on Nicktoons. Note that these details comes from a friend of theirs that is said to work with Nicktoons and is not official confirmed. However, this new information is not all that unlikely, so I would say it is legit.

It was said that the television premiere of DBZ Kai will happen on May 24th 2010 (a week after the home video release of season one part one) and will air four days a week. An exact time frame is not yet set. The much more interesting bit of news however is that the music will be in English. Just know this does not exactly mean it will be newly created music. This could mean Kai will keep the original music with English voice overs (for example – the opening entitled Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku from DBGT). Just note it is all still unclear.
