All throughout middle school, my parents had some BS cable package that split Cartoon Network with some generic sports channel. No idea why it did that. It would literally change in the middle of the day. I would still watch DBZ at my grandparents house (which we were over at often, but not enough for my full DBZ fix) but I wanted so badly to watch it at home too. Same went for Toonami and Adult Swim in general.lol that sounds like hell. I wouldve been livid
One time I remember an episode of DBZ being on in the morning for once at home and being hyped at being able to watch it, then it literally blinked out and switched to golf in the middle of Goku talking lol. Eventually we got a different cable provider once I got to HS and I still remember watching that first glorious Inuyasha episode at home, lol.
Just a random DBZ memory/story, RIP Toriyama
lmao I remember downloading the movies that took years on dial-up, and watching it in terrible quality. Goku's japanese voice was such a stark difference.And they were subtitled too, the quality was so bad that you couldnt read it half the time. But to this day I still think Goku should sound like a girl. Yeah and those websites would have a full episode section which was gone within a week.
Also remember the bunch of DBZ websites.
Or you bought all the 35 dollar DVD sets that only had 8 episodes on it.Or VHS's that had like 3 episodes each
It definitely did play. I remember it. It also played during the credits too but with a fade over it and names scrolling downhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3TJbTnR7ik
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3TJbTnR7ikThat played during the Cell Saga iirc. I guess Rock the Dragon was Namek saga only?
This is what played for me during the credits. Definitely never had an intro though. Although, thinking back, I'm not sure if any of the anime had an intro for me during Toonami days. That's so strange. I can't believe it was just me that never saw the intro on Toonami lol. Gotta be some local thing with the cable provider choosing to add more commercials I guess.
There needs to be a poll on if the Rock the Dragon intro played during the Toonami run, because I swear I see people say it all the time but it NEVER played when I watched it. Whenever what show was on before DBZ would end, it'd go to commercials then DBZ would just instantly start with "Previously on DBZ..." with the recap, but never an intro. But now that I'm typing this out, I'm realizing it could have entirely been a local thing where my cable chose to add more commercials than letting the intro play. Although I feel like the episode recap started exactly on the half hour or whenever DBZ was supposed to play.
"With one last blow, it seems that Frieza has finally been laid to rest. Indeed, Goku has saved the universe from Frieza's wicked reign. But, with Namek's explosion only moments away, can Goku save himself? Find out on the next heart-stoppingly exciting episode of Dragon Ball Z"

I remember playing this online turn based fighting game based on DBZ and it was super weird but me and my fellow ten year old friends had a blast playing itThere's 2 notable flash games.
Wish I could remember the site, it used still images of your fighter and their attacks so it was very basic
There's 2 notable flash games.
Mission to Namek

DBZ Tournament

The Gundam one was hard but fun. I remember discovering an exploit that made it way easier though. if you get a winning move and just smash it, it'll count as multiple hits and OHKO anyone lol

it played on toonami for the movies and the first episode IIRC.I 100% remember it playing for movies, just not any episodes. Although if it was only the first episode, it's possible I somehow missed it every time it repeated.
Like Tree of Might, World Strongest and Deadzone all had Rock The Dragon
That played during the Cell Saga iirc. I guess Rock the Dragon was Namek saga only?It's possible. I can't remember for sure what I heard back then honestly. I just know I never heard the one with lyrics like in the opening until I caught DBZ during the midnight run. I caught the midnight run before I saw any movies I think.
Someone mentioned DBZ being their first hentai experience and that unlocked a ridiculously long forgotten memory lmaoPeople just emailed porn for shit and giggles back then? Damn I missed out. My only porn experience was flash games on Newgrounds lol
As a kid with terribly slow internet I managed to sign up for one of those millions of xxx sites back in the day that email lists and didn't require any money or whatever. Dragon Moon X. You can only imagine the type of photos it specialized in, hahaha. And since my email was private I never had to go hunting on sites for my parents to find, I just checked my email every week.
Good fucking times. Now every kid has unlimited high speed access on their phones, and now I'm fucking old.
