Dragon Ball Zhas had an insane history in North America, originally premiering in the west in 1996, with the company Funimation purchasing the series and working with Saban Entertainment to bring the now legendary franchise to more homes but this partnership came with a caveat in the form of some seriously bonkers censorship. In a story such as Dragon Ball, which features some bloody battles and plenty of death throughout the episodes, the lengths that Funimation originally went to in order to "sterilize" the series have to be seen to be believed!
