Then Portuguese channel that began airing Dragon Ball Super on July 29th1 every weekday at 10pm.
From a source I’ve spoken to, fans that have been keeping up with the broadcast said 2 new episodes were aired every weekday with no breaks, meaning episodes 39-40 aired yesterday and 41-42 will follow on Monday.
As such on Thursday, August 29th Panda Kids will begin airing the Future Trunks arc with episode 47.
Dragon Ball Super has been a huge success with Portuguese audiences, having aired on SIC, SIC K, SIC Radical, Biggs and now Panda Kids.
No doubt the success of these continued airings will bode well for Daima reaching the country in the not too distant future.
The premier date was announced to be August 1st, but listings for Super appeared on Panda Kids’ website the weekend before, confirming it would be on July 29th↩︎
The former Sony Pictures Television broadcaster, which is now owned by Narrative Entertainment has responded to a fan enquiry about them airing Dragon Ball Kai.
Dragon Ball Kai previously aired in the UK and Ireland on the now defunct channel Kix (owned by another one of POP’s previous owners CSC Media), but despite a lot of rumours at the time the channel ended up airing the Funimation dub, allegedly because TOEI gave them no other option. This may have been because Manga UK’s season DVDs of Dragon Ball Z, which contained the Funimation dub were being released at the time as a means of avoiding marketing confusion, or Funimation might have pulled some strings, but unfortunately clarity was never given on this.
It would inevitably be a great opportunity for POP if they were to air Dragon Ball Kai with an English dub that is not widely available or seen, and has a built-in fanbase with actors like Brian Drummond and Scott McNeil, but until then the best that can be hoped for is enough fans reach out to them advising they seek out the Ocean dub.
Nearly six years after its premier on Polsat Games Dragon Ball remains a mainstay on Poland’s first independent TV station, which is offered as part of the nation’s largest satellite provider Cyfrowy Polsat.
The innovative broadcaster allows viewers to switch from the Polish dub to Japanese audio with a remote. Not too shabby for a linear channel, and a wonderful way of giving viewers the freedom to choose whatever version they prefer or are in the mood for watching.
And while Super was the first Dragon Ball TV anime to receive a traditional dub it has not been the last, as last year Polsat Games began airing Dragon Ball Kai, which it continues to air alongside Super to this day.
Currently Polsat Games airs Dragon Ball Kai weekdays from 9am-10am, 12:30pm-2pm, 3:30pm-4:30pm while Dragon Ball Super airs Monday-Friday from 11am-12:30pm. On weekends Polsat Games treats viewers to various quintuple airings of both Super and Kai, with the former airing Saturday from 2pm-4:30pm, Sundays 8am-10:30am and the latter airs Sunday from 11am-1:30pm, 2pm-4:30pm.
As we speak the morning and afternoon weekday timeslots for Dragon Ball Kai have wrapped up the Saiyan arc and now begin with the early Namek arc, although the timeslots around midday on the same days are in the middle of the Cell arc. Dragon Ball Super has also finished up another rerun of the Goku Black arc and is to begin another rerun of the Tournament of Power arc.
With so much time allotted to Dragon Ball on their channel it seems safe to assume that Polsat Games and Studio PDK, the dubbing facility behind the recent Kai dub will have their eyes on Dragon Ball Daima whenever that is being licensed for Poland.
I hope fans will get it, this recent surge of Polish Dragon Ball dubs is long overdue considering there was one time when all they had was Dragon Ball Z movies 12-13.
