FUNimation's English dub of the Dragon Ball Z television series from 1996 to 1998 spanned 53 edited, English dub-only episodes — supplemented by a three-episode-cut of Dragon Ball Z Movie 3 — airing over the course of two syndicated television broadcast seasons on local network affiliates.
The series broadcast debuted in September 1996, replacing the company's initiative with the original Dragon Ball television series the prior year (which itself only ran through a single season of 13 episodes, preempting the company's plans for a second season running through 26 episodes).[2]
A single episode aired during the first broadcast season; this was expanded to a full hour-long, two-episode block in its second broadcast season.[3]
Following its completion, this batch of episodes was later licensed to Cartoon Network in 1998 for airing on the cable channel's Toonami block, eventually paving the way for a third broadcast season in 1999.
This era is often referred to as the "Ocean dub" or "Pioneer dub" or "Saban dub" by various sources, confusing various partners of the time and obfuscating the ultimate ownership and production by FUNimation themselves.
