Fans of Dragon Ball Z may not be aware that Dragon Ball Kai is a spin off that is going to be released and promises to offer hours of endless entertainment. There are quite a few differences between Dragon Ball Kai and Dragon Ball Z that will keep the spirit alive but also differentiate them to make them their own shows. The reason that this is being done is a celebration of the 20th anniversary that Dragon Ball Z has and also to give the series a new flair in preparation for its airing on the Japanese television waves.
