Previously it was reported that Danmarks Radio were in negotiations for further episodes of Dragon Ball Super.
Now, it appears that the broadcasting and streaming giant who have been the home of Dragon Ball in Denmark since its debut have sealed the deal.
In a new post on the Dragon Ball DK Facebook page it was said that Jan Tellefsen, the director of the Danish Dragon Ball dubs revealed at the J-Popcon held on February 14th-16th that 49 new episodes have been licensed.
This new batch of episodes will bring the total number of episodes in the Danish dub of Dragon Ball Super to 76. As such Danish fans can expect to see the entire Universe 6 and Goku Black arcs in their native tongue.
Dragon Ball Super launched on the DR TV app on October 18th last year, exactly one week after the debut of the Danish dub of One Piece.
There is no release date for the new episodes, but following the debut of One Piece episodes 1-30, 31-45, 46-53 and 54-61 on October 11th, November 8th, December 6th and December 20th respectively it is possible they will also come soon and in small batches over the coming months.
It was never officially confirmed why the Danish dub of Dragon Ball Z was never complete, but reportedly fans were told by Danmarks Radio it was a very hard, time consuming and expensive process, so the fact they are picking up a huge number of Dragon Ball Super episodes and investing in another long running anime certainly shows commitment and bodes well for their relationship with TOEI Animation.
In any case with these new episodes and Battle of Gods set to make its theatrical debut on March 1st, exciting times are ahead for Dragon Ball in Denmark after two decades of no new dubbed content.
