Unfortunately, fans of the established anime, Dragon Ball Z Kai, will not be able to watch it on Netflix. However, the beloved anime is available to stream on Crunchyroll, as it explores Goku’s journey to faraway lands in search of the magic powers of the seven dragon balls. Besides Crunchyroll, the revised version of Dragon Ball Z without all the filler episodes is also available on Hulu.

The Dragon Ball Z Kai has a very vast universe in which Dragon Ball Z promises an adventure that is faster, stronger, and packed with pulverizing power. This TV series, which premiered in 2009, is a fresh take on Akira Toriyama's original vision, but boosts it up with more action, revitalized animation, and an amped-up audio experience.
