The ever-popular Dragon Ball franchise has entered a renaissance in the past few years. Ever since the release of Battle of Gods and the Dragon Ball Super, fans have been clamoring for more and more Dragon Ball content. This has led to many wanting to re-watch Dragon Ball Z all over again. This begs the question, is Dragon Ball Z streaming on Netflix?

Dragon Ball Z is an anime based on the manga of the same name by author Akira Toriyama. The story follows the adventures of the Saiyan Son-Goku. After the events of Dragon Ball, Goku settled down with his wife Chi-Chi on Mount Paozu. After a fateful encounter with his brother Raditz, it is revealed that Goku is not of this earth and is, in fact, a Saiyan.

The Dragon Ball franchise is arguably one of the most popular franchises in pop culture. Many adults today would have grown up with Goku and the Z-fighters on our screens defending the Earth from unparalleled danger. There are 10 Seasons with 291 episodes, 14 movies, and numerous amounts of video games across multiple platforms. It’s not hard to understand why the popular franchise is in such demand.

At the time of this update, there are rumors circulating that the anime series Dragonball Z Kai is coming to Netflix. According to Forbes Mexico, this simply rumored and Kai is not coming to Netflix. The sources of the rumors indicated that many of the Latin American regions were set to receive the series. but once again this is incorrect.

As for the original Dragon Ball Z series, that will remain on FUNimation, which can be watched if you have a subscription to the streaming service.
