J16 is the official catalogue number of a piece of background music (BGM) composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi for the Dragon Ball anime in 1986. The piece debuted in Dragon Ball Episode 31 which was broadcast on 24 September 1986.

Overview

J16 is a variation on G3 (K-56). The full composition is part e of the suite entitled "Strong Ambition", which is track #09 on both the Ongakushū record and disc #2 of the Daizenshuu.

J16 is a piece with the image of the ambition to take over the world, and it would be no stretch to call this the "theme song" of characters such as Pilaf or the Red Ribbon.

J16 was given the title "Critical Situation" on The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant,[1] the most common source for fan titles of Kikuchi's compositions. The piece was assigned the Kanzenshuu catalogue number of K-134 based on its placement in the series.
