Previously we reported, based on anecdotal accounts Dragon Ball Super was airing with two new episodes every weekday on Panda Kids in Portugal and had reached the Future Trunks arc.
Now it appears that the channel is rerunning previously premiered episodes assuming the people who informed the source I spoke to were correct.
Cartoon Network India is currently airing original Dragon Ball from 1:30pm to 3:45pm every Sunday with a Dragon Ball Z movie or TV special airing every couple of weeks just before it.
This week there is no movie or TV special, but instead the channel will air 6 episodes of Dragon Ball. Online imagery uses Dragon Ball Super art, but likely only because this is what fans are used to, as the TV guides appropriately list “Dragon Ball” for the aforementioned timeslots.
The first of 7 volumes, which contains episodes 1-17 will contain 3 discs in a digipack, art cards, and an episode guide.
Exclusive gifts will also be available for all who pre-order, which appear to be Dragon Ball-themed accessories:
The description, on Selecta Vision’s website, as translated by Google states the following:

As the recently announced theatrical dubbed screenings for the first 3 episodes of Dragon Ball Daima in the US approach, a trailer has just been released to give fans a sample of what they can expect.
Stephanie Nadolny, the voice of kid Goku in Funimation’s inhouse dub of the original Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball GT as well as the movies Sleeping Princess in Devil’s Castle and Mystical Adventure will be reprising her role as the character for the first time in 15 years.
The trailer has been shared by IGN:
Dragon Ball Daima will receive its English language premier in the United States on November 10th for a 3-day theatrical run, courtesy of Fathom Events and Crunchyroll.
Expect further releases of Daima with the English dub down the road on other platforms like Crunchyroll’s streaming service, home video, possibly TV and more.
Dragon Ball fans around the world do not have much longer to wait for the new series, indeed many will have the fortune of seeing it the exact same date as Japan thanks to Crunchyroll’s near global simulcast.
Strangely though, while Crunchyroll streams Dragon Ball in a number of European territories that was the one continent not included in this simulcast.
Nonetheless it does seem slowly but surely announcements are being made for Europe.
Now ADN has announced they will be streaming Akira Toriyama’s final work in Germany.
This is great news for German fans, who had to wait 6 years and 2 years for Dragon Ball Kai and Dragon Ball Super to be licensed out to them. That means this will be the quickest they have ever received a new Dragon Ball anime series.
Coincidentally RTL II began rerunning original Dragon Ball between Marchand August of last year, but it was removed a month after the rerun concluded. It was a great chance for new fans to become accustomed to kid Goku.
Should there be any updates on other European territories we will of course report on them.
The panel will be held on the Empire Stage at the following times:
October 17th (Thu), 12:45 pm–2:15 pm (UTC-5/EDT)
October 18th (Fri), 1:45 am–3:15 am (JST)
Voice actor Monica Rial and owner of Capsule Corp Tokyo Akio Iyoku are to be in attendance, and news on cards, games and behind-the-scenes stories of Dragon Ball Daima are promised.
And, as was the case with the Tokyo Big Sight there will be a screening at the event for the first episode of Dragon Ball Daima, although unlike the theatrical screenings it is not known if it will be dubbed or subbed.
A number of giveaways will also be available, and any guests attending the panel will receive a Dragon Ball Daima T-shirt and a special card from the “Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World”.
Part of the panel will also be scheduled for a livestream.
While Dragon Ball has had a long history in France, this will be the fastest any of the series has been released, a sign of times changing for the better.
On August 27th I became aware of this, as my sources at UK Anime News received emails from Crunchyroll.
Now it is official as UK retailer Anime-On-Line has announced Crunchyroll’s upcoming Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Z Blu-Ray boxsets will be making their way to Britain and Ireland.
These box sets had previously been announced for North America, but Dragon Ball fans in the British Isles will only have an extra month to wait, although unlike the US and Canada it will not be a Crunchyroll Store exclusive.
The 9 Dragon Ball Z “season” sets and 10 parts for Super will all come in two collectable boxes each displaying promotional art of Goku and friends and Shenron on the side.
Bothcollections are also available from Amazon UK and likely more retailers to follow.
While it was previously unclear how many episodes of Daima would be screened, it is now known – it will be the first 3 episodes of the series.
Moreover, Masako Nozawa, the legendary Japanese voice actor who has played Goku and the rest of the Son family in every iteration of the series since 1986 will give a special introduction.
Naturally, because these screenings will be dubbed there has been confusionamongst fans, as no subbed screenings have been announced, despite the fact they would serve the same audience who would want to hear comments from a Japanese voice actor.
Whether or not there will be subbed screenings remains to be seen, it would certainly make a lot more sense if this message was simply intended for all screenings and theatres have leaked the information about dubbed screenings first to generate more interest in buying tickets, as Dragon Ball’s English dubs remain popular.
Recently theatrical listings have been spotted for the upcoming TV anime Dragon Ball Daima, suggesting the first 2 or 3 episodes will be coming to the United States on November 10, 2024.
Indeed this will be the first time any of the episodes of the series have been screened at US cinemas since Bardock : The Father of Goku is a TV special that is not part of the 291-episode anime (Dragon Ball Z) it aired with on Fuji TV. The special has been mismarketed as a movie, but it is effectively a special extended episode of the series.
Nonetheless the Dragon Ball Daima screenings are the first of its kind for the US, which has never had any of the standard TV episodes shown in theatres.
It certainly demonstrates confidence. Expect an Akira Toriyama memorial, as Dragon Ball Daima is his last known work.
Should there be any international screenings we will be sure to report on them.
In its native Japan, Dragon Ball Daima will premier October 11th at 11:40pm as part of a new anime block on Fuji TV.
