The Pizza Cats Are Samurai
And I'd Like To Note:
Their Antics Take Your Breath Away
Like Furballs In Your Throat!

We Kittens Are A Special Breed
We Never Call Retreat.
Whenever Big Cheese Knocks Us Down,
We Land Upon (Hiya!) Our Feet!

So Hail To Thee, O Pizza Cats!
Please Ring Your Little Bell!
For Although You Might Be Pen And Ink,
We Know You'll Fight Like H-

PIZZA CATS!!!!
**Cue closing theme**

On-topic: Rock the Dragon

Rock the Dragon is my favorite out of the dub openings. The rest eh I don't care.

I absolutely love what FUNi dub with the opening for the original Dragonball series! It was just a reversion of Makafushigi Adventure, but with great updated sound... I just admire the effort put into it. [If only that could've been applied to Z and GT...]

DragonBall! Gotta find those DragonBalls! CAN'T STOP UNTIL YOU FIND THEM ALL.

Will say though I liked Mr. Faulconer's music from season 4 onward (especially Ginyu Transformation) I did wish they re-used Rock the Dragon with new scenes like how US Sailor Moon S did.

I personally love Faulconer's song for the openings of Androids saga to the end of the series. If you own the 1st Best of Dragonball Z CD, it'll be titled simply as "Dragonball Z".

I have a Japanese version of "Rock the Dragon"...

Can someone tell me where it comes from ?

Probably fan-made; sounds like it to me.

Japanese? Er...no!

This is the Spanish "Rock The Dragon" version. A bonus song for one of the Mexican DBZ soundtrack CDs.

Oh, well that's even more cool.

It's Spanish? It kinda sounds like Japanese with the "Zetta", but what the hell do I know?

With the letter Z, America's kinda the oddball in pronunciation. We say it "Zeee," wheras most other English or otherwise-speaking countries pronounce it "Zed," or "Zet," or something.

I wonder, if Japan did make their own Rock the Dragon, what it would be like?

Gives me something to think about!

this one easily gets my vote

I don't know, it's just that the pronunciation did not seem "Spanish" to me, and the site where I found it said it was in Japanese (but it did not said if it was fan-made).

Pshaw, compared to this masterpiece of an intro, all of those others look like doggy doo-doo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVrVTinOsBw. It simply cannot be beaten. It is the best dubbed opening af any anime, ever.

... Nah, just kidding: FUNimation's Makafushigi Adobenchā!.

gurugt705 · Post by **gurugt705** » Wed May 30, 2007 4:34 pm

Mine would probably be 'Got To Find That Dragonball', closely followed by 'Rock The Dragon'.

(Although neither of these compare to the Japanese openings...well maybe 'Got To Find That Dragonball', but that's it. lol)
