The amazing music of Dragon Ball Z video games.

SURVIVOR! YOU ARE THE SURVIVOR!!!

Fun fact: This is sang by the same guy who did We Gotta Power, We Were Angels, and Head Cha-La.

Tenkaichi 3 Opening

One my favorites from Tenkaichi 2 called Lost Courage. I love, love, LOVE this song...it just sounds so cool.

So fucking good, but this series of games has some brilliant music in general. Feel free to share your favorites.

Lobby music in FighterZ is great

Zalman · Jul 29, 2018

Budokai 2 and 3 openings continue to be my favorites. The whole Yamamoto fiasco still bums me out.

I love this theme too. Really captures the essence of Dragon Ball well.

javac · Jul 29, 2018

So good.

Melkezadek · Jul 29, 2018

The GOAT.

shame about the game itself

One of my old favorites is Tropica from Infinite World. Almost reminds me of something from a Heroes era Sonic soundtrack.

FighterZ as a whole has a godlike OST, but the Namek theme is pretty damned great:

At least he had good taste in songs to rip off from.

Challengers from DBZ Budokai

Hit's theme from Dragon Ball FighterZ

I always wondered why the Yamamoto thing was plagiarism when it seemed like his tracks were transformative of the original songs he sampled.

Zetta · Jul 29, 2018

These are my favorite from the older games

Zack117 · Jul 29, 2018

I'm about to fall asleep so I won't post any tracks right now. Just came here to say that I agree with you, OP. The Budokai and Tenkaichi series have a shit ton of amazing soundtracks. In fact I listened to them a couple of days ago

Deleted member 8001 · Jul 29, 2018

Dunno how this man made this sound so good on GBA but bless him.

Deleted member 1190 · Jul 29, 2018

Fighterz has pretty good amount of variety in its ost.

West City track still one of my favorites from it.

But then you also have shit like Nappa's theme which fucking goes in

And on a non-fighterz note, shout out toAftermath from Ultimate Tenkaichi

Fawz · Jul 29, 2018

They've had some good tracks over the years, and the quality & style has fit standouts from anime like Solid State Scouter and Battle Point Unlimited

For me one of the most notable ones has been Vegeta's theme in Dragon Ball FighterZ. Perfect energy for a fighting game and fits the character well.

Zalman · Jul 29, 2018

I'll post a track that I think is highly overlooked.

Tracking Dragon Ball from Raging Blast. Such a chill and catchy tune.

Deleted member 34949 · Jul 29, 2018

Extreme Butoden is pretty much the Children of the Atom to FighterZ's Marvel Vs. Capcom, and that goes for the soundtrack, too. (Same composer, actually!)

falcondoc · Jul 29, 2018

Isn't most of it plagiarized?

Maligna · Jul 29, 2018

Why hasn't anything been posted from the Super Butoden 2 and 3?

Ugh, you're all so young!

Doskoi Panda · Jul 29, 2018

Amazing fight music. We got some in our Project M build, because why the fuck not?

^ these days when I hear that I think "Battlefield 1v1" before I think Budokai 3

Butoden 1 had some decent tracks, too.

WellbornWarrior · Jul 29, 2018

Still don't know why they can't just use tracks from the anime if it's literally based on it. Is it so hard ta at least have Cha-La Head Cha-La in DBFZ without paying an exorbitant amount of money for it?

The tracks I've been posting aren't plagiarized at least.

I adore Super Butoden 2's OST

and its amazing arranged version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3aGWhuzI8M

Oh, don't worry- I can go old school too baby.

If you guys haven't checked out Buyu Retsuden's OST for Mega Drive, be sure to do so. FM music for the gods.

Silky · Jul 29, 2018

Sabot · Jul 29, 2018

No Super DBZ? For shame.

edit: for shame

Omar310 · Jul 29, 2018

I played Budokai 2 way over a decade ago but I can still hum this like it's fresh in my mind.

I despise Bardock in DBFZ cus he's stupidly good but his theme is fucking awesome. It's like a lost Mega Man track or something.

I remember loving the cover art for this game. It was the first import I bought for the Genesis/Mega Drive. Also great music that fit the style of the shows.

Some of the stuff from DB FighterZ slaps so hard. Some songs Wouldn't be out of place in a Guilty Gear game.

Tenkaichi 3 has variations of music from the show in the JPN OST.

Dragon Ball Opening

Solid State Scouter

Bunch more on the channel.

Xenoverse 2 has a lot of JPN OST tracks but it costs 15$ as DLC.

The cover art is sick, I agree.

Its a tie between Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and Ultimate battle 22 for GOAT ost.

I love Yamamoto's music in the series so much. Is there any DB composer who has a similar sound/style?

I have to give a special shout-out to Dragon Ball Z Sagas. I LOVE the soundtrack in that! :D

Nice to see some Tenkaichi love as that is really rare on ERA/GAF.

Bioshocked95 · Jul 30, 2018

Obligatory best boi post

SolVanderlyn · Jul 30, 2018

This is very different to the rest of modern DB soundtracks and gives a bit of tribute back to the 80's. Really nice touch for Dad Goku

You could somewhat make that argument as far as the videogames are concerned - but his OST in the tv series just outright reproduced tracks from Avatar and Terminator.

It is a pity they replaced him with Sumitomo who has proven himself to at best be a sort of kinda competent composer.

chaosaeon · Jul 30, 2018

Since I didn't see it mentioned yet, how about the lesser known but awesome DBZ Legends for PS1. It was Tenkaichi before Tenkaichi and really got the vibe down. The music has a sort of ominous synth/rock mix which reminds me a little of the Ocean Dub that aired here as a kid. Here's some tracks with casual gameplay off to the side.

DJwest · Jul 30, 2018

I see the 2 best DBFZ themes are yet to be posted:

FakePlasticTree · Jul 30, 2018
