Dragon Ball (English, Blue Water)

Broadcast
After Ocean Group finished their dub of Dragon Ball Z for Westwood Media and AB Groupe for distribution in overseas markets, Westwood commissioned a new dub of the original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT, using the same Vancouver studios that dubbed Dragon Ball Z. However, Westwood made a change of plans and instead outsourced its dubbing to Blue Water Studios (also known as Chinook Animation), Ocean's Calgary-based budget studio. Westwood had Blue Water Studios dub the entire series, in spite of the first 13 episodes having already been dubbed in Vancouver and in spite of the Funimation dub still being aired in the USA at the time. This version uses the French dub as the primary source material, therefore containing some content edits as well as using AB Groupe's opening title sequence for said dub, along with an English singer and a translation of the lyrics (though the UK broadcast usually featured a completely different opening). However, at least with the first several episodes, the script for Funimation's dub of the series was re-used, albeit heavily re-worked. While this dub uses the terminology from Funimation's dub, there were some exceptions such as the Power Pole being called "Nyoi-Bo". This dub was aired in Canada concurrently with Dragon Ball GT.
