Which Theme Song Is Your Personal Favorite?
This, much like my Goku (Gokuu?) voice post, spreads across all dubs, series, and countries. To specify a bit, I mean main theme, like Rock the Dragon or that weird GT rap.
(EDIT: wait I probably should've posted this in the music section. whoopsie.)

It’s cliche to say Head Cha La but it is.
For the non-Japanese themes I’d give it to the English version of Mystical Adventure though.

- That creepy Namek soundtrack that kicked in at the beginning of the arc, whenever they were showing Freeza's spaceship from the outside or when they had Freeza stare out his window and give some orders.
- Cell's soundtrack that was versioned by Kavinsky (Rampage)
-GT's opening but when it was reversioned for the episodes. The instrumental version.
For DBS:
- Black's theme song
- Jiren's theme song from E109
- UI theme song from E129.

not to sound rude, but I meant series themes, not character themes or background music (maybe I'll make another post for those)Koitsukai wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 6:26 pm - That creepy Namek soundtrack that kicked in at the beginning of the arc, whenever they were showing Freeza's spaceship from the outside or when they had Freeza stare out his window and give some orders.

Re: Which Theme Song Is Your Personal Favorite?
Makafushigi Adventure for me. Love the English version as well. This song instantly draws me into the fun of the Dragon Ball World.
I even have a soft spot for the English "Gotta Get Those Dragon Balls" theme for the BLT dub lol.

The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.
I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.

Yeh I listened to the GT BW dub theme a little bit ago, as you may already know, I particularly enjoy the lyrics It's a desperate search.. All across the Universe! The singer sounds so passionate, man.Demon Prince Piccolo wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 6:46 pm Makafushigi Adventure for me. Love the English version as well.

Re: Which Theme Song Is Your Personal Favorite?
I actually meant this theme from the 1995 English dub of OG Dragon Ball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqcdFywCRks, but the BW GT intro is very good as well! This theme is just so catchy and perfectly fits Dragon Ball as a "Saturday morning cartoon" for the West.BeaBumby wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 6:51 pmYeh I listened to the GT BW dub theme a little bit ago, as you may already know, I particularly enjoy the lyrics It's a desperate search..

No worries! I had actually originally thought about posting "1995 Dragon Ball theme" because the abbreviations can get confusing lol.

Re: Which Theme Song Is Your Personal Favorite?
My order would be:
1. Cha-La Head Cha-La
2. Makafushigi Adventure
3. Dragon Soul
4-6. We Gotta Power, Limit × Break × Survivor, Kuu-Zen-Zetsu-Go
7. Chozetsu Dynamic
8. Fight It Out
9. Heroes Big Bang Mission Theme
10. Heroes Universe Mission Theme
Yes, I love those three themes equally. Shame we didn't get KZZG internationally.
Edit: threw in the Heroes anime themes. Did the one-off have its own theme? If it does, the fact I forgot probably tells you all you need to know about how I feel about it, haha.

Re: Which Theme Song Is Your Personal Favorite?
Makafushigi Adventure for Japanese.
For English, probably the theme from the original Funi DBZ Season 4 onwards. I like how there are no lyrics, but it still manages to say so much.
The BLT dub opening reminds me of the opening for the solo Spider-Man cartoon from the 80s.

Re: Which Theme Song Is Your Personal Favorite?
For the fun of it, I decided to rank the opening themes according to my preference.
Japanese/Engrish
1. Makafushigi Adventure (the most adventurous, fun theme)
2. Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku (the most beautiful, heartwarming theme)
3. We Gotta Power (just a really fun theme; feels like a celebration of the series)
4. Cha-La Head Cha-La (classic)
5. Limit Break X Survivor (really captures the frenetic energy of the fights. Instantly loved this one upon first hearing it)
6. Kuu Zen Zetsu Go ( I actually think Fight It Out sounds more like a classic Z opening, but KZZG matches Kai being a "refreshed" version)
7. Fight It Out (I like this one a lot tbh, especially the music itself)
8. Dragon Soul (good, but never left the same impression on me as for some others. I prefer the instrumental variations to the actual song, like the NEP theme)
9. Chozetsu Dynamic (good, but never really got me amped to watch the show the way the others did)
English
1. Mystical Adventure (love it just as much as the original)
2. Dragon Ball 1995 BLT dub opening (catchy as hell)
3. DBZ Season 4 Instrumental opening (technically my most nostalgic)
4. Rock the Dragon
5. Dragon Ball GT Blue Water opening
6. Dragon Ball Harmony Gold Opening
7. Step Into the Grand Tour (the only one I'd actually call outright "bad," although it's a guilty pleasure)

Re: Which Theme Song Is Your Personal Favorite?
All right...I've fallen in love with the Brazilian version of Fight It Out. I'd probably put that above KZZG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaJWj4zZklM.
Also, my comment on the Kai NEP being a variation of Dragon Soul was incorrect; it's of Yeah Yeah Break Care! I meant the Recap theme and the orchestral version of the Dragon Soul, in that I prefer those tracks to the actual song being sung.

Re: Which Theme Song Is Your Personal Favorite?
Typically, Cha La Head Cha La and We Gotta Power are my favorites. Makafushigi Adventure is a banger, as well.
My least favorite might be Chouzetsu Dynamic. It doesn’t do anything for me.

Hands down, Dan dan kokoro hikareteku, then.

I dunno, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same beat, yeah.
