 The Second Season In Review
Japanese episodes 36-67 (English episodes 27-53) comprised the second season of Dragon Ball Z in the US, and the second batch of episodes underwent a surprisingly small amount of editing and censoring compared to the first. Out of a total 31 episodes, only about 5 were lost, much better than the 9 taken from the Saiya-jin Saga.

That fact notwithstanding, there were still many unfortunate occurrences that took place during the course of the season. The most notable highlights were the introduction of Freeza's English voice which has been unanimously decried by fans as totally inappropriate, Ian Corlett passing the role of Goku on to the ill-received Peter Kelamis, and the usual censoring and editing when the action got too hot. Overall though, nothing seemed to get any worse, although nothing got very much better, either.
