It almost sounds like an incomplete beat, but that definitely goes well with how Cell himself is incomplete. It has a more industrial sound to it in comparison to the heavy rock influences that are present in many of the other soundtrack’s songs. This is a track that is unlike anything else from the American soundtrack, so you really can’t mistake it for anything but Imperfect Cell’s song. Imperfect Cell was one of the most unique villains in the franchise, so it works out really well that he would have a distinctive theme too. This piece of music is a good one for encapsulating all that chaos, and it shows up again during other action-packed points in the series. What made this fight even more high stakes was Piccolo was trying to dispatch the androids as quickly as possible before Cell showed up to absorb them. Having just fused with Kami, Piccolo was the only hero capable of going toe to toe with the androids. Vegeta and Trunks were in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber trying to become stronger, but during this brief time frame, Piccolo was actually the strongest Z Fighter.

This song really got featured during a crazy time in the series too. Not every song has to have some deep meaning, some just sound good. This is just a good, frenzied rock song that would probably go well with any fast-paced fight scene in the series. Unlike other songs on this list, we can't say there's any nuance about this track that makes it such a tailored fit for this scene. This is the kind of theme that a lot of people associate with the work of Bruce Faulconer's team high energy, thrashing guitars, and an atmosphere that just seems to push the action to go faster. Yeah, the Ginyu Force are quite silly, but this theme is a great reminder that they have a deadly side to them as well. It paints the standoff between the Z Fighters and the Ginyu Force really clearly through music and has such a personality to it like a fight is about to go down. It has a bit of an Old West vibe to it, building up the tense quiet before a big battle. This song might not spring to mind as one of the classics of the soundtrack, but it is a great underrated theme that we’re kind of disappointed only gets to be used for a small chunk of episodes. When you think of the Ginyu Force theme, you no doubt think of the group’s over the top introduction from when they first come to Namek, and how some versions of the show gave them a deliberately silly song like DBZ Kai’s “Ginyu Force Rules.” The Ginyu Force theme we’re referring to is actually a pretty serious piece that plays when the group faces off against the Z Fighters, and Recoome winds up going on to nearly kill all of them singlehandedly. This is Dragon Ball Z: 15 Best Themes From The American Soundtrack. Let's look back at some of the best pieces that fans still fondly remember. Whichever version you prefer is fine, but many people at least agree Funimation’s spin on DBZ did have a strong soundtrack thanks to Bruce Faulconer’s composition team.
Maybe you’ve found other versions of the show that you enjoy better now, like Dragon Ball Z Kai, where the voice acting is more refined, or the Japanese dub that is more true to the manga. Many of us got into the series through the American dub of Dragon Ball Z, particularly the Funimation dub. Even though a soundtrack might not leap out to you as one of the most important things about a story, you definitely notice it when it’s bad.

Ever been in a movie theater and someone’s cell phone goes off playing something like “Call Me Maybe” during a really emotional part? It totally ruins the moment and takes you out of the scene. With any show the music has the power to enhance a scene or detract from it. As much as we all enjoy Dragon Ball Zfor its story, characters, and fights, the power of a soundtrack can’t be understated either.
