Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest
Dragon Ball Z the Movie: The World's Strongest (ドラゴンボールZ この世で一番強いヤツ, Doragon Bōru Zetto: Kono Yo de Ichiban Tsuyoi Yatsu?), also known by Toei's own English title The Strongest Guy in the World, is the second feature movie in the Dragon Ball Z franchise. It was originally released in Japan on March 10, 1990, between episodes 39 and 40 of DBZ, at the "Toei Manga Matsuri" film festival along with the second Akuma-kun movie and the 1990 movie version of Sally the Witch. It was released on VHS and DVD in North America on May 26, 1998, with an English voice dub, produced by Geneon Universal Entertainment in association with Funimation Entertainment. Geneon's dub used the original Ocean Productions voice cast of the TV series. The film was later re-dubbed by Funimation's in-house voice cast and released again to DVD on November 14, 2006 in a box set titled "First Strike," which included Dead Zone and The Tree of Might. It was later remastered and released in a Double Feature set with Dead Zone on Blu-ray and DVD on May 27, 2008. The film will be released to DVD again on November 1, 2011 in a remastered box set containing the first five Dragon Ball Z movies.
Outside of the US, there have been two other English dubs of this movie: one in Malaysia and one by AB Groupe in France. The Malaysian English dub was released to VCD in Malaysia, while AB Groupe's English dub aired on TV in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, as well as saw a home release to VHS and DVD in the formerly mentioned countries. Both dubs use Toei's official English title rather than Funimation's title.

His heavy rings uncoiled from glimmering deep to deep....”
