Dragon Ball (Latin American Spanish)

Dubbing History
The first attempt to commercialize Dragon Ball in Latin America (Zero y el Dragón Magico) was a failure. Because of this, in order to not make the same mistake again, and in the interest of producing dubs for the Dragon Ball series that were on par with the Spanish dub of Saint Seiya (Knights of the Zodiac) since it is considered one of the best Spanish dubs of its time. A second Dragon Ball dub was originally licensed, produced, and distributed by Cloverway Inc. (A Toei Animation agent in America). Bandai Namco decided to transfer license of the Dragon Ball anime series to Cloverway. This meant Cloverway would produce redubbing of Dragon Ball and dubbing the rest of the series, including the dubbing of the following series (Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT). Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT became extremely popular throughout Latin America, and the Spanish dubs for them were extremely well-received, with the dub casts becoming legends within the anime and voice acting community.

The first 60 episodes were redubbed using the same script as the previous dub, but at Televisa petition (the TV network that broadcasted the first dub) to Cloverway, some significant dialogues were changed and removing some scenes that weren't censored in Zero y el Dragón Mágico dub, including character names (like Chi-Chi is renamed Milk). Starting with episode 61, the dub was uncut.

The dubbing was done in Producciones Salgado for the first 60 episodes, and moved to Intertrack, starting with episode 61.

Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, the Dragon Ball Z movies (except Battle of Gods), two Dragon Ball Z TV specials, and the Dragon Ball GT TV special were also dubbed on Intertrack.

In 2005, after the arrival of Toei Animation Inc. in the United States, all licenses of series produced by Toei and that Cloverway was responsible for distribution, were transferred to the new subsidiary of Toei Animation for the continent.
