#Dragon ball z kai the final chapters full episodes series
It's a little frustrating when I'm trying to match the series in PLEX and none of the episodes in "Season 2" match up.Dragon Ball is one of the most popular anime series in history. It is for this reason that I still think having a separate entry for "The Final Chapters" would help. The international version of the series remained as it was originally produced, with 69 episodes, and began being distributed in international markets in June 2014 shortly after the shortened Japanese series began its broadcast in Japan.
Toei obliged and went back to the cutting room floor, creating two distinctly separate versions of the Majin Boo arc with differing episode counts. However, due to constraints allotted by Fuji TV, the already produced 69 episode Majin Boo arc would need to be cut down to fit within a year’s broadcast time. With Toei having a newly produced series already in hand, it was decided that Dragon Ball Kai would return to retake its old time slot on Fuji TV after all. Although it would be bypassing the Japanese market, the series was fully produced with an original musical score and recorded Japanese dialogue.Īt some point during or after the series’ production, Fuji TV approached Toei requesting a replacement series for the waning Toriko anime. Toei began production of a 69 episode final arc of the series, giving it the sub-title “The Final Chapters”, with the intention that it would only be distributed internationally. Following the series’ premature end in 2011 with the conclusion of the Cell arc, international distributors requested Toei continue the series on into the Majin Boo arc, as there was still a demand for it amongst international fans. Aside from any international censoring or editing, the series was distributed internationally just as it had originally aired in Japan. While known in Japan as simply Dragon Ball Kai, Toei elected to re-brand the series as Dragon Ball Z Kai for its international distribution, to help distinguish it as a new series based on the globally famous Dragon Ball Z series.
Not only that, but Toei themselves named the international version Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters, so it's not just a US thing, that is what it's called everywhere in the world but Japan.Īctually, I should have just done this from the beginning, but here is an excerpt from that perfectly explains how these two different versions came to be: However, in doing so, they cut the show down even further, resulting in fewer total episodes than the international version that they sent literally everywhere else in the world. It wasn't until the cancellation of Toriko that Toei, needing a quick replacement, changed their minds and decided to air the second season after all. "Season 2" of Kai was initially only produced by Toei for the sole purpose of being aired internationally due to popular demand it was never intended to air domestically at all due to the low merchandise sales that the first "season" yielded. That said, I'm not against providing NFO files for anyone who wants them.Īctually, Funimation/Toonami had nothing to do with it. It's not likely that we'll be allowing a new airing entry for the Funimation recut of a recut.
