 A friend of mine was kidding me for saying I liked Dragonball Z, a much serialized, much butchered anime series that runs infinitely on the Cartoon Network on cable. I was trying to think what possible justification I had. Then I remembered King Kai. He's a sort of Yoda character that teaches battle tactics. He lives on a tiny planet in another dimension, which you get to by traversing Snake Way, which looks like the Great Wall of China on the back of a snake hundreds of miles long, twisting through the clouds. See the three people standing on the grass in the center of the planet? Each weighs 700 pounds in its enormous gravity. That's why it's such a good training place: if you can move at all you get stronger. Kai himself has blue skin, catfish whiskers, cockroach antennae, and dresses in priestly garb--with little hipster shades. He talks like a cross between Sylvester the Cat and Elmer Fudd, and constantly tells terrible jokes, like "You can tune a piano but you can't tune a fish." He's just the greatest!--and reason enough in my book to tune into the series. He's the type of "what the hell were they thinking?" character that pops up only in anime. 
thanks, i can appreciate the show slightly more than i did now. yes, it's creative. i still won't watch it! kai seems like just the type of character to annoy me enough to flip the channel right away. :)
Okay, then you will never learn how to make a Spirit Bomb.
ooooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo i feel sooooooo deprived.
The Japanese version rule.
dragonball: 153 episodes, 4 movies 1984-1986.
dragonball z: ssj1, ssj2, ssj3, 291 episodes, 13 movies, 3 tv specials, 3 playdia game video footage movie games, Mirai no Trunks (mini series after the defeat of cell). 1986-1995
dragonball gt: ssj4 (Toei version 64 episodes and one tv special), ssj5 Toriyama version over 500 episodes and 30 movies with episodes in between the 100 years that goku left, and after the 100th tenkaichi budokai. 1996-2000, not 1997.
dragonball z ultimate: the 4th dragonball series. ssj6,7,8, and the last form ssj9 are here. still being made, currently over 600 episodes. 2000- to present.
Dragonball Z Ultimate; the 4th series, has all the way up to a super saiyajin 9.
