Z دراغون بول

This dub had two stages, which are considered by the Arab audience as different 'seasons'. The first, started in September 2003, which included only the Saiyan Saga and later the Frieza Saga (with the excluding of Garlic Jr. Saga), with 53 episodes. Several years later, the dubbing would continue, being promoted as Dragon Ball Z 2 (season 2) from episode 54 onwards, however, the dubbing would abruptly end again, in episode 104. 187 episodes never received a dubbing.

Unlike the Arabic dub of the first series, this one turned out to be much more successful, which led to the formation of a notable fan community in the Arab world. The next Arabic dubs to be produced would be the dubs of ドラゴンボール改 and ドラゴンボール超, since the GT series never received an dub in this language.

1st stage (episodes 1-53)
In September 2003, Spacetoon began airing Dragon Ball Z alongside Sunrise's Gundam Wings and Nippon Animation's 1999 anime adaptaion of Shonen Jump's Hunter X Hunter. However, only the Saiyan Saga and later the Frieza Saga (with the excluding of Garlic Jr. Saga) were dubbed, initially concluding with 53 episodes similarly to the Korean dub and Saban's syndicated run of the FUNimation/Ocean English dub on American television.

2nd stage (episodes 54-104)
After fan-outcry over the dub's sudden cancellation, Spacetoon's now-defunct sister channel (now late-night programming-block) Space Power that targeted an older demographic renewed the dub for a second season in February 2010 from where it last capped off back in 2003. It also briefly air on Spacetoon around the tail-end of Ramadan and the start of Eid of the same year. But unfortunately, the show abruptly ended yet again the following year, leaving out 187 of the 291 episodes undubbed.

Due to the this dubbing break of just over 6 years, most of the cast was changed, due to the unavailability of the actors, many of whom were already participating in other projects in Venus Centre, and others Syrian dubbing studios. Also, it was the case that several actors returned to the project, but were forced to take other roles, thus replacing the other actors that already not be.

The opening/ending theme used is a custom theme song written and directed by famous high-profil Arabic dubbed anime/cartoons song writer/director, singer and composer Tarek Al-Arabi Tourgane. Typical for 90's and 00's international dubs, visuals in the opening are a mix of the OP and some scenes from the anime series. The same theme song was kept in Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Z Kai, and got a special revamp for Dragon Ball Super's ending theme.
