Dragon Ball Z Kai - The Final Chapters 2014 Score Ver.

Post by Metalwario64 » Tue Aug 19, 2025 5:22 am

So... this is a little thing I might slowly work on over time since it's not too complex... As a test, I edited Episode 133's audio to have the 2014 Kai's recap music, Kuu Zen Zetsu Go! as the opening, Dear Zarathustra as the ending (fits pretty well since the animation was reused for it for the most part in 2014's Buu arc of Kai anyway), and the Kuu Zen Zetsu Go! NEP theme, all added to the TFC's 5.1 dub track, then mixed back down to stereo, so you can add it to your own rip or however you listen to rescores, Consider this a test for now but I'd love to do the whole arc since I liked these Japanese exclusive themes way more and it makes me nostalgic for when the Buu arc of Kai aired in Japan... fuck it's been so long.

Here's the link to my Dropbox of the file. [EDIT] Updated a v2. Basically, I didn't know exactly what I was doing at first... This time I meged every non voice channel, then used Ultimate Vocal Remover to split the voices from the rest of the audio (good for removing duplicate narrator voices and then keeping the echoes from things like Babidi's telepathy), and did better audio mixing with the replaced tracks so, this is basically what the final product would look like. :)

Edit, here's an edited, extended version of the first recap theme I'll use in the appropriate places: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... e52a2cd35&

Plays out to about the Fight it Out recap theme's length, so should work in most cases. Used an AI stem splitter to separate the percussion, so when I spliced it, the drums could be made to fit seamlessly.

Got episode 100 done in Japanese to test that side of things... it took a bit of work to perfect my workflow, and lots of AI voice separation, and I even went back to the Z scene of Gohan fighting the criminals to get some extra sound effects, as well as taking some from a video with various punch sound effects from the series, since some came out very tinny after all the filtering. But now I think it's very professional sounding and is a nice bridge between TFC and the 2014 Kai.. though... a part of me would like to do the inverse and sync up the dub for the episodes that were trimmed down since I like that faster pacing but.. on the other hand all the other rescores aren't timed to that so... Perhaps another time if I feel like it. If I finish this project, most of hte work would be done once the episodes are synced anyway for the dub, lol.
