When it arrived on Cartoon Network’s Toonami two years later, like a lot of kids I knew, I found each “ Find Out Next Time” to be a personal betrayal. The show, based on the shonen manga, originally aired in Japan in 1989 and crash-landed in the U.S. In fact, the yelling might be Dragon Ball Z’s defining characteristic. There are a lot of characters with funny names just announcing things-their goals, their training, their power levels, the instability of a certain planet’s core, which comes up more than you’d think-but most often there’s yelling.
It’s ridiculous, in other words, and even series creator Akira Toriyama doesn’t quite understand its popularity.
Dragon Ball Z, in the simplest terms, is a sci-fi adventure comedy that doubles as a martial arts action series in which people can casually produce the destructive power of a thousand hydrogen bombs from a single finger.
