In the Greek DVD release by DeAgostini Hellas, a scene from episode 33 and the whole episode 77 had been redubbed with new voice actors. In the redubbed scene of episode 33 Stelios Kalathas is voicing Master Roshi while in the redub of episode 77 Stelios Kalathas is Shu, Krillin and the narrator, Maria Zisi is Kid Goku, Mai and Puar, Emi Stilianidou is Bulma, Fortuneteller Baba and Upa, Panagiotis Tsitsas is Pilaf and an unknown/unidentified voice actor is Grandpa Gohan, Yamcha and Master Roshi. The reason why the scene from episode 33 was redubbed was due to the fact that in the original ANT1 broadcast they used as a background music for that scene the Greek version of Makafushigi Adventure so they redubbed it, and they used the original Japanese version of Makafushigi Adventure instead. The reason why episode 77 was redubbed is unknown.

On December 27, 2007, DeAgostini Hellas started releasing all the episodes of Dragon Ball Z on DVD. Apart from the original Japanese version, the Greek dub of Dragon Ball Z was based on other dubbed versions such as the Latin American Spanish dub (eps. 100, 111-113, 118, 120-122, 126, 128-187) and the French dub (eps. 188-291).

==Trivia==
*In some episodes of the Greek dub of Dragon Ball, they changed General Blue's gender and made him female.
*In the episodes where Maria Bonikou voiced General Blue, DeAgostini on their DVD release changed the pitch of her voice in order to make her sound like a man. They also cut out the audio where the characters were referring to Blue using the feminine definite article.
*In the Greek dub of Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, the Movies and TV Specials, Frieza is female. In episodes 78-87 of Dragon Ball Z and in Dragon Ball Super, Frieza is male. Frieza has also a male voice in episodes 146, 284 & 286 of Dragon Ball Z. Something similar occurred with Zarbon.
*Frieza's gender change in ep. 78 of Dragon Ball Z may have to do with the fact that ep. 77 aired on January 31, 1999, and ep. 78 on February 27, 2000. So, it's possible that they forgot who Frieza was.
*In the Greek dub of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, many evil extraterrestrial characters such as Piccolo, Vegeta, Frieza or Cell have a voice filter in their voices. The Namekians have that voice filter too.
*In the Greek dub of Dragon Ball Z many songs were used as openings and endings. The Greek version of "Makafushigi Adventure!" was used as the opening and ending theme songs in episodes 1-79 and 82-83. The instrumental version of "We Gotta Power" was used as opening theme in episodes 80-81, 84-99, 101-112, 115-120 and 123-146 while the instrumental version of "We Were Angels" was used as the ending song in episodes 80-81, 84-99 and 101-146. The Latin American version of "Cha-La Head-Cha-La was used as the opening theme song in episodes 100, 113-114, 121-122 and 147-187 while the Latin American version of "Detekoi Tobikiri ZENKAI Power! was used as the ending song in episodes 100 and 147-187. The French opening of Dragon Ball Z was used as the opening theme song in episodes 188-291 while an instrumental version of the same song was used as ending theme for episodes 188-291.
*Due to changes of master tapes from episode 188 of Dragon Ball Z, new names are changed to resemble French script, such as Shin to Neptune, Majin Buu to Boubou (except for eps. 220-221), Dabura to Dabla, Gotenks to Sogotrunks, Vegito to Vegetagoku etc.
*For some reason Dragon Ball Z episodes 171-172 have very poor sound quality on DeAgostini's DVD release unlike their broadcast on ANT1 where the sound quality was good.
*On October 1, 2014, the Greek voice actor of Goku in Dragon Ball Super (Tasos Ntapantas) had interviewed Sean Schemmel for a radio show of Greek Otaku Radio.
*Dragon Ball Super was also available in Greece on Crunchyroll from May 28, 2017, with Japanese voices and English subtitles.
*In the first broadcast of Dragon Ball Super episodes 1-2 on Nickelodeon, the narrator is Konstantinos Kakkanas. In the rebroadcast of these episodes and afterwards the narrator is Vasilis Milios.
*In 2020 Panos Tsaparas in collaboration with Sakana Mepa (an Anime/Geeky music cover band from Greece) sang after 25 years the Greek opening of Dragon Ball.
*The news about the arrival of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie in Greece were shown in the news segment of ANT1, the TV station that was airing Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z for many years in Greece.
*Dragon Ball Daima is available for Greece on Crunchyroll (October 11, 2024) and Netflix (October 18, 2024) but without Greek subtitles or Greek dubbing.
