What happens

Dragon Ball Z Kai, known in Japan as Dragon Ball Kai (ドラゴンボール改(カイ), Doragon Bōru Kai), is a Japanese anime television series based on the manga series Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama. Produced by Toei Animation to commemorate the anime television series Dragon Ball Z's 20th anniversary, Kai serves as a recut and remastered version of it that re-records dialogue, improves animation cel quality, and omits most anime exclusive content that was not featured in the original manga. The series aired on Fuji Television and its FNS affiliates from April 2009 to March 2011. A continuation that covers the final Z sagas, respectively titled internationally as Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters, aired on the same network from April 2014 to June 2015 under the same Japanese title from its original run.
