"'''Goku's Unusual Journey'''" is the fourth episode of [[FUNimation]]'s original English dub of the ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' television series, first aired the weekend of '''04 October 1996''' on American television as distributed in syndication to local networks by [[Saban]]. This episode's production features the Vancouver-based voice cast from [[Ocean Studios]] and a replacement musical score under the responsibility of [[Shuki Levy]].

This episode was later replaced in FUNimation's home video releases by a redub first produced in 2005 (initially for the "[[Ultimate Uncut Edition]]" home video line) featuring the Texas-based voice cast and a new replacement musical score by [[Nathan Johnson]]. This version properly covers and separates episodes 5 and 6 (titled "Gohan's Rage" and "No Time Like the Present" in the revised English dub), and serves as the basis for all re-releases moving forward.

==Availability==
[[File:arrival-versions-screen2.png|thumb|250px|FUNimation/Pioneer home video releases]]
"Goku's Unusual Journey" was first released on home video in 1997<ref>"[https://www.kanzenshuu.com/press-archive/animerica-july-1997-animexpress-the-aliens-are-coming-dragon-ball-z/ Animexpress: The Aliens Are Coming… Dragon Ball Z]". ''Animerica''. US: Viz Comics, Volume 5, No. 7, July 1997. (p.13)</ref> as part of the "[[Dragon Ball Z: Arrival]]" VHS (either $14.98 or $19.98; both prices are cited by Pioneer), a special compilation of the first four edited, English-dubbed episodes from the 1996-1998 production run. This compilation included one set of opening and ending themes surrounding the content of the four episodes, which, other than fade outs and ins from the non-existent commercial breaks, ran as a sort of "feature-length" presentation. Two editions of the VHS were released: an "Action" version and a "Youth" version. These two versions featured different pieces of cover artwork, and while fan commentary is sparse, there appear to be no content differences between the two.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.fan.dragonball/jtDPLNG1CJM/3cM3Sa0_Qm4J|Website=alt.fan.dragonball|Title="Arrival" video in US?|Date=21 January 1998|AccessDate=06 February 2020}}</ref>

A DVD version of "Arrival" was released in April 1999 (either $24.98 or $29.98; both prices are cited by Pioneer), maintaining the "feature-length" presentation style and revised dialog edits.

The "[[Dragon Ball Z: Rock the Dragon DVD Box Set Collector's Edition]]" set from FUNimation, released in August 2013 spanning nine DVDs,<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://www.kanzenshuu.com/2013/06/01/funimation-to-release-original-broadcast-dbz-english-dub/|Website=Kanzenshuu|Title="FUNimation To Release Original Broadcast DBZ English Dub"|Date=01 June 2013|AccessDate=06 February 2020}}</ref> collected the entire 53-episode run of the syndication broadcast, plus broadcast versions of the first three films. This release restores first four episodes to their individual versions, and likewise restores original line recordings.
