Dragon Ball Z Kai (known as just Dragon Ball Kai in Japan) condenses the 1989-1996 Dragon Ball Z anime series to more closely follow Toriyama’s Dragon Ball manga.
Adult Swim’s Toonami programming block announced on Facebook on Monday that it will air a marathon of the Dragon Ball Z Kai anime in honor of Dragon Ball manga creator Akira Toriyama’s recent death.
The manga’s Dragon Ball anime adaptation, its sequel Dragon Ball Z, and its other numerous sequels and anime films are equally as well-known as the manga, and its hero Goku has become a character known throughout the world.
The 2009-2011 run of Dragon Ball Z Kai covered from the Saiyan Saga to the Android Cell Saga.
