I mean like, ew. They ruined some of favorite scenes. Watch both versions of Android 16's speech to teen Gohan.

"Gohan... I love the animals, and everything about nature."

Kai automatically sucks without the obligatory Bruce Falconer ost.

There's some moments where I think the dub's acting and writing in Kai is actually somehow worse than it was in Z, which is weird because the entire team has gotten better at it over the years. The scene where Piccolo reams Goku for not helping Gohan while Cell was kicking his ass just doesn't sound as intense.

Maybe they just don't give a shit about doing the show again.

I'll have to check that scene out.

Maybe the Japanese language version of Kai is better but so many great moments were ruined in the English dub for me to call it the best version. Don't get me started on the music.

I found the scene you were talking about.

Z
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aDcWucKFjA" data-time="


Kai
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFFnR2y-HBw" data-time="&start=63


Also the Ocean dub because I find Goku's voice hilarious
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWFYjJbLfFg" data-time="


But for real, Z is just better... like script, music, and emotion.

Like, imo...

"He's not a fighter like you!"

just has a bigger impact than

"Think about it. This grand strategy of yours. Does he even know what it is?"

Yeah. For all the silly filler regular DBZ gets, Kai just...loses a lot of the impact for some scenes.

Goku and Piccolo getting their driver's license was epic though. >___>

I, unfortunately, have to agree with you on that fact..

Vegito going Super Saiyan is my example for that list

I mean, I love the concept of Kai. Streamlining and consolidating it is a great idea for people wanting to go back through the show quicker. But between the acting and writing differences, it's just missing some "oomph" behind it.

Probably also depends on how much you admire the Faulkner score too. That's a big one for a lot of people.

Any scene that was epic in Z is considerably less so in Kai.

I do remember there being scenes in the JP Release of Kai where they had music, but the dub didnt.. Creating silent scenes.

The worst parts about Kai are everything involving kid Gohan.

TBH the DBZA 16 speech is easily my favorite of all versions.
