the theme is different than I remember, if this is a remaster version that could be it, or I'm crazy. But it doesn't sound anything like my memory of it

So, Dragon Ball Z Kai is basically a remaster of the original Dragon Ball Z english dub. It was released in 2009 as part of Dragon Ball's 20th anniversary, hence the intro with updated animation. The animation itself, as well as score, and dialogue is also touched up. The dialogue is more accurate to the manga because the original dub had many mistranslations. The filler was also cut out from the original so now the seasons are about 24-ish episodes long. The exception to this is Dragon Ball Z Kai The Final Chapters which did not release until 2015 and still has some degree of filler (that being said the final arc of Z is stupid long in the manga as well lol). DBZA never dubbed the final arc (entirely) so you only got up to Cell, there is one more arc afterwards and THAT is the final arc of Z. FUCK, this comment is way too damn long lol

Quick note, the streaming version you are using is semi-censored.
The video footage is uncut, but the dialogue is the censored version (swears and most direct references to death are removed in this version)
While this is not too big of a deal in the earlier episodes, it can be a bit distracting when deaths start to occur in the show ;-)

Shame you won't be continuing OG Dragonball, specifically BECAUSE not enough people appreciate it. But I've never actually seen Kai, so I'm looking forward to this as well. :)

So fun fact about the Kai music. The first 98 episodes of the Kai OST was composed by Kenji Yamamoto. In 2011 he was fired due to plagiarism in some of his work, so from episode 99 and onward they used a different composer.
However, since he was fired due to plagiarism they had to replace his soundtrack for the first 98 episodes as well.
To do that they took about 40 (out of 500) music tracks from the original 80s version of the show and added them in the first 98 Kai episodes where (mostly) appropriate. So be prepared to hear some of those 40 tracks repeated a lot ;-)

ok so for clarity looking into it the op is sung by different members of the voice actor cast of dbz on different episodes, vics is just the most iconic. Highly recommend you check it out cause it makes sean schemmels cover on this ep sound like shit by comparison
