According to Daizenshuu 10, "DragonBall 2" was one of the names the anime staff was thinking of using for Z, along with "DB: Gohan's Big Adventure", "New DB", "DB Wonder Boy", and "DB 90".

Oh Jesus... that title reminds me of that god-awful flash game on Newgrounds. Good times, indeed.

At least, the second one was somewhat of an improvement.

It reminds me of the Dragon Quest manga "Dai's Big Adventure".

Ah, Dragon Quest. Really fun games, might I say. Haven't read much of the manga, though. Anyway, I think "Z" is the most suitable. With all due respect, the other titles seemed a bit goofy.

I distinctively remember the term "Z-Squad" coming from somewhere, too. Might've been the dub.

I spent entirely too long playing this awful game and I blame you.

You actually felt like playing it?!?!

Oh dear, I've become quite a manipulative one. Well, in that case... I dare you to play the second one!!! Trust me, everything's better... including the music and voice-acting...

@Bussani: That audio file was a classic!!! Though, I still wonder why it sounded a lot like the Invader Zim cast. Well, could've just been the speed they used, I guess.

Personally, I dig Italy's randomly nonsensical and awesome title of "What's my Destiny? Dragon Ball"
