If anyone knows the answer to the question the subject suggests, that would be most appreciated.

I'm doing Dragon Ball Z for my subject of my Speech exam, and showcasing its popularity is one segment.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, if possible, a cited source would be good too. If not, that's fine.

I don't know how many countries, but the DragonBox itself could be a source. That's got clips from different countries on it.

I was trying to make a list. I can upload the Excel file later, if someone wants to see it.

I would like to watch a clip! That and the Arab dub of The Simpsons.

I'm currently rewatching all of Dragon Ball Z dubbed in Cantonese.
It's a pretty decent dub.

They forgot Japan.

Also the Hebrew dub in Israel (which was broadcasted after the Dragon Boxes had been released).

Yeah, the book was released March 19, 2003, which means it was probably written in late 2002. I'm sure the series has been released in a bunch of other countries since then, but this is at least a good start (and from an official source).

And, uh, yeah... Japan can also be added to that list.
