I always wondered who those two aliens were that Goku was fighting in that opening, that was like the onl time I saw those dudes. On, and the shot where he busts out of ice and the one where he's running on a ceiling and the one where he does a bunch of backflips then lands on his head. That and Super Mario Super Show along with what I think was the Sailor Moon opening are stuck in my head. I never watched Sailor moon but I swear I remember some girl denigrating into either dust or ash like she died or something in the opening. It always bothered me.

Maybe the third Funamation opening is for you then, full of leads. As a kid, my mom would buy me the vhs tapes. Well, when the second part of DBZ was coming out, I remember I would come home from a local Sam Goody and turn it the fuck up on that intro.

To be fair, the original opening is a minute and fifty seconds long which is much longer than most american cartoon openings. Even if they did use Head Cha-La, they would've had to completely butcher it. And I don't think anyone would want to see how a 1997 dub would butcher Head Cha-La.
>>142996989
Original DBZ used the same opening up through the end of the Cell arc with only minor animation changes just like Super is doing.

Yes, but I remember at some point during the Cell arc it went from the funi dub to the ocean dub all of a sudden. It was jarring as hell and the intro/outtro changed.

No, that's actually the third version of the first opening, which plays during the Cell arc. This is the very first one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0liOFNYuNMc
The second one kicks in after just a few episodes and is pretty much identical, except it has a couple shots of Vegeta and Nappa landing on earth.

Just kill yourself already and stop shitting on things that are actually good in an attempt to stave off the truth of being a worthless piece of shit.
