Dee Bee Geek gg

Don't stop what you are doing on you're UA-cam channels I always watch you're dragon Ball and dragon Ball super videos
Toonami is GOAT! Gotta thank them for introducing Dragon Ball to many of us!
+I'm just saiyan ...like alive?
HELLLLLOOOOO MY NAMES DINNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Dino yes sir, thanks to Toonami and Saban lol the ocean dub has a special place in my heart, it was the beginning for me
Antonio Brown lol hahaha
In Indian cartoon Network maji boo never die. Indian viewer
kids had no clue how hard it was to wait for goku to go super saiyan.. we had to rewatch the namek saga like 5 times
Right?! Pure torture.
Dbz is why I got into Boxing mma and personal fitness in General.
Come to think of it a FUCKING cartoon effected my entire life
Dbz is the reason why I want to do martial arts
God Vegito dbz is the reason i DO martial arts.
AJ Harice at least ur not FAT!
AJ Harice it but for the better 😊
Who remembers when toonami's lineup was Dragonball, then G-Gundam, then DBZ. Best afternoon lineup
new philmz me!!
G gundam was my fave gundam
Cartoon Network never showed G-Gundam in AU and NZ, we only got Wing and Seed
G Gundam was my shyt! I had to go back and rewatch that show a month ago
Yea
When you're in the rankings alongside WWF Monday Night Raw in its Attitude Era, you know you're making an impact.
Yeah I’m pretty sure in the namek saga and android saga there were literally tens of millions of people watching dbz DAILY lol. That’s insane to think about
yeah I'm glad I wasn't around I would've been pissed tryna pick between MNR and DBZ Monday night
Dragon Ball Z was aired on Toonami on Cartoon Network at 5pm est. While WCW Monday Nitro aired on TNT at around 8:58 pm and WWF Raw is War aired on the USA Network at 9:00pm every Monday nights during the Monday Night Wars. So of course you can watch it the exact same day.
I remember coming home from elementary school after 3pm waiting for DBZ and Gundam wing to come on and did so for years. Even at 25 that love for anime would never had been discovered if it wasn’t for toonami
Raymund bell same
Me too. :D
DBZ and Sailor Moon.
Middle school for me. Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, of course Dragonball Z (Namek saga repeated for years) and then Tenchi Muyo at the end.
Same here
Those were the two powerhouses. Gundam Wing was super good and ahead of its time as well.
But I did love Robotech, Ronin Warriors, Reboot....ahh good memories.
Even Sailor Moon was good.
That constant loop of goku taking out recoom and then ending up back to radditz the next day was so frustrating
One of the main reasons the quick Jeice & Burter vs. Goku fights was one of my favorites. So much waiting, it was good to see the payoff after.
Geekdom is a living Dragon ball encyclopedia.
Adventurous Adventurer Augustus For sure
Not really.
I actually first watched DBZ in Mexico when I went on vacation as a kid. After that I started watching it on Toonami in elementary school, and the rest is history. I’m 27 now and I still watch at least one episode of whatever anime I’m watching every single day. Thanks DBZ and Toonami. You literally molded my life to what it is today. And I love it.
The amount of times DBZ restarted to the Raditz arc nearly broke my souls all the time. I remember all of this!
Everyone's first anime was pokemon.
But everyone's first REAL MAN'S anime was DBZ.
That's the same thing with me haha!! Now i watched/collect alot of Anime!!
DB was my first. I grew up in Portugal
Oh wait forgot about Sailor Moon 😂
Ironically DBZ debuted in North America two years before Pokemon did. Pretty sure I saw DBZ and Pokemon around the same time. Early 1999.
Sailor Moon was actually my first anime. Saw that on the USA Network late 97 just before it moved to Toonami the following summer
Mah, Dragonball all the way!
Dbz got me through my childhood
morelifenotes facts
As a 90's kid myself, growing up right around the time that Cartoon Network was created, I really appreciate that content like this exists. I always wondered about how the legendary network came to be and the voices, musicians, and talent behind many of the old 90's releases. I truly miss this era of anime, having grown up with it myself. Thank you for providing this content. This was well worth watching all the way through.
When i was lil I had the choice
Of watching the super friends or
Dbz , I chose dbz
1999 - 2003 / 2004
I watched both.
And that choice has made all the difference
@@virtualpellot933 I did the same, until DCAU Justice League was syndicated on Cartoon Network.
When you're older than a channel u watched as a kid/teen...made me feel old just now
Hahaha yes... Nostalgia
Halfway thru and this is amazing, bringing me back to after school. Everyday would have to sit through BS Hamtaro, but once I did I got Dragon Ball, Gundam and Dragon Ball Z on the living room TV man those were the days. Mad props Geekdom.
Lol it was pretty weird just seeing Hamtaro on Toonami, but I kinda liked that show tbh.
Green Pill Media that show was sick. The boss hamster had a crush on one of his students
the peak of CN was a time of television we will never re-live. Thanks for the memories!
You can feel the love it took to make this video.
Thanks to UPN Saturday Morning for Introducing me to DBZ before it moved to Toonami in 96
I take it you lived in the South.
Same here. I remember watching it up to the beginning of the namek saga on UPN.
It was on WB affiliated stations for up here.
Benjamin Reddick I keep telling my friends I use to watch it around 1995 saturday morning on regular tv but they never believe me
Same. Seen it one day randomly channel surfing Saturday morning. Goku vs nappa, was the most amazing thing i ever seen
Being one of those kids you spoke of, who came home after school everyday to watch and go back the next day to talk about what happened almost religiously, I just want to say, this is video is amazing. I'm 26 now and I have an 8, year old whom is now a fanatic like I was. Gonna show him this and talk like an old geezer and say how great it was in my day
The Greatest Geekdom Video of All Time Could It Be So?!?
i worked hard on it
So much Nostalgia for me you can really tell the love you have poured into this :)
nothing will ever top your mercenary Tao video, the reference about the ladies and the tongue! LOOOOOOOOOOL
Facts
I remember the last episode of Dragonball Z on Cartoon Network before moving to the Toonami channel was the episode with Hercule and Majjin Buu where the puppy got shot towards the end, and then that was it for officially on Cartoon Network.
*ally to good. nightmare to you*
I remember when I first saw the show- I was only 6 and I was seeing Goku versus Full Power Freeza. I was so hooked that- in the years following I would become such a big nerd of it. Problem is- being a child can also catch up with your attention span. So I grew up- not watching DB DBZ or DBGT until the late Highschool years, when I remembered Vegeta's Super Saiyan track done by Bruce Falconer. After that- it resparked my love in Dragon Ball, and is now STILL one of my alltime favorite animes and shows.
All because of Toonami...
Toonami is where black people fell head over heels in love with DBZ and later on anime in general.
A match made in Heaven.
Guilty lol
Basically
Thank you for this. I have very vague memories of watching Z on toonami (I'm only 16) but I remember how it felt like each episode was a movie, the most lasting memory I have of toonami is Goku flying into Piccolo Jr. to win the budokai. My introduction to being a hardcore fan was watching nicktoon's kai and then watching the uncut blu rays but I still look back and think I had the privilege of watching the greatest shonen manga/anime of all time in it's fullest edition.
Your time young you would of been 1 year old you lier
toonami was around up until 2008
i watched re-runs
21:51 That Deadzone plug has stuck with me since all the way back then, it's so good
Have to show my love, appreciation and dedication for how this documentary was put together! You really took be way back in the day when TV was quality, cable was cheaper, and I lived on Toonami. DBZ was my show back in the day, and keep up the quality and detail in your documentaries.
Geekdom it's hard for any other true DB youtubers to compare to you. Simply the best out there!
I met C. Martin Croker less than a year before he passed away. He came to a local con where I live and I bought a print from him. Since it was a smaller con we were able to just chill and talk about old school Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, and he was just the coolest dude. Rest in peace, good sir, and I hope the afterlife is as dope as you.
This video is 3 years old!? Damn. I remember when it was first uploaded.
This comment is 3 years old!? Damn. I remember when it was first uploaded
Cartoon Network like the real Cartoon Network was so dope in the 90’s early 00’s this just takes me back... getting out of school rushing home to get ready for toonami but on half a days tho it was so many other great cartoons I would get to see good times
Do you have any thoughts on modern Cartoon Network.
Tiffany Panton it’s ok I guess but it’s nowhere near the level of cartoons I watched when I was younger.... in the 90s growing up there was the boomerang cartoons ie Jetsons Tom & Jerry Smurfs etc on xmas they would marathon the xmas episodes of those shows for 3 days, then of course toonami but you also had Cow & Chicken, KND, Power Puff Girls Johnny Bravo, Ed, Edd & Eddy that are now considered pure classics I watch some of the cartoons now & it’s too kiddish like they being safe with those shows, growing up cartoons were more edgier now it’s more goofy than funny in my opinion which why I think my son watches more of the older stuff that came out when I was younger compared to stuff they show now
17:03 “Toonami’s got a brand new superstar... *I think I have a crush on her.*” Lmao, if only cartoon networks were like this now..
Toonami is such a big part of my child hood, it introduced me to dbz, inuyasha, yu yu hakusho, tri gun, FLCL, great memories
Inuyasha, trigun, flcl all started on adult swim not toonami
Ahh Toonami - what great memories i have of it being on UK Television - i only seem to remember DBZ/Tenchi Muyo (Then Universe and then In Tokyo) and Gundam Wing when i ever watched Toonami
I did watch ALOT of Cartoon Network as well but i remember Sailor Moon & Cardcaptors were on CITV and then Pokemon and Digimon on SM:TV (CITV and SMTV were part of a channel called ITV here in the UK)
I remember the transition felt weird to my ears when they transitioned to the funmation dub . Couldn't picture what the ocean dub even sounds like now lol. ToonAmi block after school was an everyday routine . Coming into middle school the next day and talking bout what was going on in dbz with my friends, damnnnn. . Wish I could go back to 99, the peak of modern civilization.. great vid. ToonAmi was a huge part of injecting anime into the American maintream .
Pokémon and Digimon, then the next popular ones seemed to be Beyblade and Yu-Gi-Oh as I entered high school
Dbz fan for life been watching scene day one on toonami, BUT let's not deny Salor moon was that work!!
Man this video really made my day! Thanks for the history lesson. I remember in the summer of 1996 seeing Dragonball Z as a snot nose little 7 year old on a Saturday morning. Then my older brother got me hooked on it in November 1998 and the rest is history. I also remember getting to the episode when Goku landed on planet Namek twice and on the second time right after they showed those movies each Friday right after and finally in the late summer early fall of 1999 funimation took over and we could continue forward. I moved from the states to Japan in 2013 and I tell my wife all the time if I had lived there when I was a kid my head would have exploded lol.
GOD BLESS
Cartoon Network, Toonami and WB 11
Tom should have gotten his own anime.
DBZ is so important to me and others in my generation. Thanks for this great history lesson.
I recall liking Ocean Dub for The World Strongest a lot. I remember loving the Kaioken x3 scene especially with its editing. The roaring “POWER UP!!!” got me goosebumps.
It’s one of the time I really like the sound effect additions as well. It’s like an early 5.1 sound tech friendly. I wish I have it on home video.
Great work, geekdom101!
The first three movies for the Ocean Dub, from what I've heard and seen myself, were amazing. The Funimation dub was built up from the Ocean version anyway, so it's far from Big Green-tier despite what bandwagoners would say.
Pure Rage Agreed. Truth be told, I was sort of like that a long time ago, but I began to appreciate the other dub as well, rather act like I always detested it. Maybe the censorship but it has to be done for the audience, so can’t argue against that.. Robot. reporters in helicopters or something like that. Good times.
I realize this is old video but I had to say well done. I’m 45 and just hearing those voices and the stories of how and when this whole dbz uprising was fascinating and a huge nostalgia trip for me. I was one that drove 45 minutes to a little video store that would rent vhs recorded episodes that weren’t even close to be released here, and it was in Japanese with no subtitles. It didn’t matter my buddy and I just wanted to know what happened next in Dragonball. Not sure how this dude got these tapes but I didn’t care. I turned all my friends intro dbz nerds and had them all asking and waiting when the next videos were coming out. It became a big get together, light up some green, and watch Dragonball from the future. Thanks man for the memories Geekdom.
Got a tear in my eye man. My dad couldn’t get us Cable but one of my cousins made me watch DBZ in his house one day - I’ll never forget being hooked from the first second. It was during the Babidi’s spaceship episodes. Then later on when my dad was getting the cable hooked up, I was finally able to watch it at MY house after school at 4pm CT. I would run home so I could see it. I would be eating from the kitchen and watching the TV all the way in the living room. First episode I watched at my house, Chi Chi got turned into an egg 😭 watched Vegeta opening an episode as nothing but a deceased stone figure. Watched Super Saiyan 3. Watched the final episode.
13 billion years and I was lucky enough to be born on earth to see the ending of DBZ in its day - April 7th, 2003 is a holiday for me. Thanks Geekdom for the recap to my childhood.
I originally watched the Ocean Dub, then after seeing it on Cartoon Network i fell even more in love with DBZ lol DBZ for life!
SSJR Black same. I saw the ocean dub. Then I saw my schoolmates trade dbz pictures....then I saw it on Cartoon Network. By then I was hooked for life
Ocean dub was the best in terms of voice acting. I believe the voice actors nailed the reactions along with the sound effects. From there I went to fan subs on vhs and skipped toonami all together.
Shit, I remember when it was on random syndicated channels with those old saban eyecatches and the ocean dub. It came on 7:30 am on sunday morning on the WB. Watched it once when I was 9 (second episode where Piccolo and Goku fight Nappa) and it blew my mind. Would wake up each sunday early just to watch, I was so hooked.
I also remember my sister found out about it and started demanding we watch flintstones instead. She'd wake up deliberately so she could force me to watch flintstones instead. I was up to when the saiyans got to earth and were about to fight the z fighters. One episode per week. Months of build up, just so we could watch flintstones instead.
Thanks sis.
You mean Raditz right?
@@AkiraleTorimaki doh!
Yeah, don't know why I wrote Nappa instead of Raditz but im leaving it like it is because it makes me laugh.
Do you happen to remember a block of cartoons called "Japanimation?" My memory is super hazy but from what I remember, DBZ kept bouncing around to different channels. I remember different blocks. One where Eagle Riders came on before DBZ, another where DBZ was followed by Masked Rider or something like that. And another where DBZ was followed by a show called S Club 7. This was such a big influence on me that I now speak Japanese and I even have a UA-cam channel dedicated to cosplay videos. I just wish I could remember more about that "Japanimation" block because I think they had random facts about Japan that peaked my curiosity but I just can't remember...
Wow, this gave me chills! I wish I was a little older so I could have experienced the thrill of waiting for the end of the frieza saga
Oh man the nostalgia... Thank you so much
of course, Don LaFontaine is already a legendary Voice-Over choice, but im glad they told him to call the character "goKU" and not "GOku"...
I used to love watching the tom and jerry and bugs bunny cartoons!!!
Edit: Anyone remember Johnny Bravo? Good times.
I do
'Do the monkey with me!'
19:14 this was everybody’s reactions when they prayed for the new episode after Racoom episode each rotation and the next day this appeared.

RIP Akira Toriyama 🙏🏾. Thanks for giving me some of the best memories of my youth.
This was incredible to watch. Thank you for this, I watched the original Dragon Ball when I was 7. I was so excited to see Dragon Ball Z on WB when I was 9, but got so tired of the limited episode run from the first 2 seasons on Toonami. I also remember renting the uncensored Tree of Might from the ghetto video store.
I love the nostalgia, a nice trip down memory lane. Again, thank you.
Sailor moon was big back then I had homies that would wait for the new eps to come out on toonami.
Was about praising you, then I noticed @Dee Bee Geek's comment, don't what to say again bro, you really are educating me, funny enough I knew nothing about dragon ball till this year, don't know who gave CN the great idea of showing dbs but it was awesome, so I finished it then finished db and just finished dbz yesterday. ✌️
One of your best videos, for sure, even though I never watched Toonami :) (Because Im not american). Tho its still interesting because its still important to a lot of ppl in this community
thanks a lot~!
dude when I was like 7 or so born in 93 me n my dad went to anime comic store downtown Boston picked up first few vhs watched the raditz sagas was so epic then we kept getting more as they came out eventually got to frieza was hooked have all the vhs all the monthly magazines frieza to buu still n posters on my wall back then an all the toys n cards was awesome back then. my lil bro 9 has all my stuff now he loves dbz he gets all hype when I tell him about your db super spoilers lol
Mauquez Barnard what store was that in Downtown Boston? I don't think I've ever caught a store like that anywhere back in the day and I've lived over in the area for YEARS (very sad i know)
But anyways, if you could remember back did that store sold any Japanese Super Nintendo or Japanese Sega Genesis games?
MrDmoney156 I'll have to ask my dad been so long just remember picking up first few episode's but the store had tons of anime. we used to get our movies from sam goody too
Dude ...i completely remember all of this...i have the complete set on vhs ...toonami was a big part growing up n now I'm 32...good memories...
Awesome video! Thank you for the history on it,I watched it when it first started airing in my 20s and I still watch today,and just like back then I look forward to every episode whether people think they are good or bad I am a grown ass man just enjoying the ride and adventures that this crazy anime has taken me on and also has inspired me in many ways! And thank you geekdom for all you do,let me know how I can support for you to keep doing what you’re doing! Dragonball for life!
Hey Geekdom, I've been watching you a long time but never commented. However I felt obliged after watching this video. Really great job man, I grew up watching Dragonball on Cartoon Network and Toonami and you brought it all back. I am glad to see your subscriber count has shot up in the last few months, you deserve it. Keep up the good work.
I consume alot of UA-cam content, but I don't leave comments. I felt this video deserves one. I had chills at several points in this video, getting to see old promos and clips from back when I was a kid. I was the generation that enjoyed getting to come home after school and watch Earth's mightiest heroes fight to save the Earth. You captured so much nostalgia and authenticity into one video. DBZ/Toonami has made a huge impact on my life and has formed so much of who I am today. Thank you so much for this video!
There is no UA-cam content
Dudes on UA-cam upload vids
Dragon ball z on Toonami was amazing man
Excellent video. Amazing research. Things and shows I forgot about you brought back to memory. I wondered why when Cartoon Network started it just showed only old cartoons. Thank you for another fantastic video.
I love that the first 14 minutes of the video aren't even about Dragon Ball Z and I still love it! That really shows how great Geekdom's channel is!
Good times
Dont forget the midnight mix up 1200 to 3am. Dragonballz. Yuyu hakusho. Reboot. Gundam. Inyuhasha. Ghost in shell. Trigun. Cowboybebop. That spaceship and toonami is straight up my childhood. Fox friday to sunday 8am anyone else remember the fox line up.
I was on the west coast so dbz literally came on after school for me I would always miss half of the first episode because I had to take the bus home 😞 lol
The Toonami after school block is what got me into dbz, then anime, then boxing. I miss those days sometimes. I'd really like to watch the original Toonami dub again.
Geekdom the Movie
*grabs popcorn*
I remember it from WB but got pissed cause they kept repeating episodes. Also, I forgot it was an anime at one point and was waiting for Toonami to show a Christmas episode 🤣
You just had to be there to understand the feeling back then. Waiting for school to end at 3 o’clock to hurry home and watch DBZ on toonami.
Thank you for cleaning this up! I remember starting to watch dragon ball z on toonami around 04-07 thinking it was a stand alone series so in the years following I have ground more confused about all of the "conflicting" timelines. Thank you for sorting this all out!
Thank God almighty for dbz and all the other anime shows.. I'm from 1990 and still watch these shows
Same here 1990 baby
Weren’t Mexicans the first to watch Dragon ball? Outside of Asia
Yeah Mexico gets it like a week after it airs in japan.. that's what happened with Battles of Gods and Resurrection of F... i saw those in 4D.
Mexicans, French & Brazilians.
To this day they are the countries with the most hardcore fanbase outside of japan.
Hell, the original DBZ still runs on national TV there. Goku is more recognizable than Mickey Mouse or Mario there.
It also kinda explains why they hate dubs that took more liberties and modified music and intros, preferring the original Japanese score instead.
The Latin American dub is GOAT!
Yep even supers dub is aired daily it started late july or early august and will start the trunks arc next week
Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon, Outlaw Star, Reboot, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, and Big O were all my jam on weekday Toonami.
Im one of the few that discovered DBZ from saban when it was on random networks before cartoon network was a thing. Of course it always ended at Frieza saga so it really took off after the funimation dub and then whenever toonami got it from funimation.
Commenting again bc you hit this video out of the park. I’ve seen the Worlds Strongest Toonami promo with Goku’s original voice opening it up!
"Don't stop don't stop we're in love now,
Don't stop there's so much to be found
......Dragon SOULLLL!!!" - My childhood
*1.25Speed on everything I love you
OH GOD THAT HIT RIGHT IN THE NOSTALGIA KIDNEY
Zarama Gexcior Ok?
Rob3mad1 I love you too
Zarama Enigma yeah, the best version of dragon ball Z
I remember being 5 or 6 years old watching Cartoon Network at 11pm when DBZ 1st came on Satellite Dish 1996....i was transformed as a child Episode 1 ....had never seen anything like it... serious tone ....was hooked everynight before WB and before Toonami ever played DBZ it was a super secret special show until it was mainstreamed ......Looking back how things happened we were very very Lucky individuals to see DBZ with the Bruce Falconer Sounds ... it shaped your way of thinking forever ...it made your morals
I live in India, here they aired the entire series, fully uncut, not censored, with a hindi dub. All the way from episode 1 to the last episode of the Buu saga. They had the original cha la head cha la music and my god was it amazing. Goku sounded way more serious and the gore was uncut.
This video was absolutely amazing. The nostalgia, the quality, but mostly the information was straight up inspirational.
You got a sub fer sher
Amazing, AMAzing, AMAZING video!!! Great job, I watched this video around the time you debuted it, and I still go back to rewatch it, again great job.
I miss Gundam Wing 😐
@Geekdom101 Sick Video Literally Tearing Up Over Watching some of these Classic Toonami Clips and Promos. It Brings Back so Many Memories!!! Thank You!!!
The first 30 second or so it's like " yes, yes, thats me"
34 minutes felt like 5, why does all good things come to an end so quickly :(
Man I remember coming home straight from high school getting home right about 4:50 and getting my snacks and food together and right at 5pm turning on Cartoon Network to watch DBZ. Lol classic times
Best DBZ UA-camr out there! Keep up the good work.
Like many fans, I was introduced to Dragon Ball Z in the states when it first aired on Toonami and ever since then I was hooked for life. I own all of Dragon Ball, Z and GT on DVD and watched them all in English, but hearing your recommendations to watch the series in it's original Japanese audio and subtitles, I sat down this year and did so. It was amazing to see the differences in from the original compared to the Funimation Dub and have to say I enjoyed it very much, thank you for the recommendation!
Im in my 40s and the early 1990s i didn't have cable TV yes some people still remember cable TV lol so i would watch DBZ on regular tv it used to be on channel 53 well its known as now is THE WB network but that channel only had so many episodes and restart all over again from the beginning of Dragon ball z. I think it would end around when freza would fight goku and then it would start over. But i would watch some episodes on video tapes in Japanese from some friends and then when i got older i finally had cable to watch it on cartoon network.
i was watching DBZ after school on Cartoon Network and recording DBZ on Telemundo at the same time...Telemundo one was during the Cell games
The new episodes comes out on my birthday
Hope you enjoy them :).
Pure Rage thanks
I first saw it when I was 16 (38 now) on Fox 50 in the Detroit area. it ran from the first episode right up until Nappa and Vegeta arrived, and then just went back to the first episode and never progressed beyond that. had to wait until it hit Toonami 2 years later that I got to see the rest.
When I was growing up in Poland they played Dragon Ball, DBZ, DBGT, on repeat for a few years. The second time GT ended and then Dragon Ball started over from beginning I was like what the hell is there no new shit? I only had to wait 20 years.
Yup that was me everyday after school on Toonami!!
I discovered it on the international channel . It came on at like eleven o clock at night back in like 96' 97'. Then I saw it on Toonami and was suprised af.
Outstanding video bro. Love dbz i was always curious how all started. Thank you aswell
I miss Tom and his story.
I loved Toonami I remember watching Dragonball Z, Samurai Jack, and Transformers.
I would love to have that wall street journal article, I'd frame it and put it on my wall, make a good conversation piece, "Yes that's a article printed back in 1999 saying my favorite anime was too violent for kids" lol
