🚨 Os primeiros 5 episódios de Dragon Ball Daima serão exibidos DUBLADOS na sexta-feira, 25 de Abril, à partir das 18:00 da noite no canal Adult Swim. pic.twitter.com/dd9kubVB8V
It’s worth noting this is not the debut of the show on Tooniverse as the channel did begin airing the show on October 19th last year, albeit in Japanese with subtitles.
Luckily for fans that prefer to watch a show in its original language subtitled airings are still scheduled for 1am on Wednesday and Thursday this week.
Moreover the Daima dub features a dubbed version of the OP, which appears to be a rarity for some anime dubs these days. Traditionally English Dragon Ball dubs have had dubbed OPs, but that was not the case for Crunchyroll’s dub of Dragon Ball Daima.
This is one day later than expected, but nonetheless great news considering the long history Dragon Ball has had, especially with dubs in South Korea.
Further new episodes are scheduled for April 25th at 6am, and as of now it seems safe to assume the next batch will be 34-36, the week after 37-39 and so on.
In any case this is great news for Danish Dragon Ball fans who may have been waiting nearly 20 years for a dub in their language.
Ever since the release of Box 1 on November 30, 2022 Dragon Ball fans have been able to enjoy the best official release of the original series thus far, but it appears that the long hope for a Box 2 is coming to an end.
It has now been reported that numerous sources, including some from France have confirmed that AB Video will no longer be continuing their Blu-Ray releases of the original Dragon Ball.
This is unfortunate, as there had been various reports that gave fans hope that AB were not giving up on the second volume.
Nonetheless for years the question about when this would be released remained unanswered, and as expected AB Video could not confirm anything that was yet to be scheduled for a release date.
Two months later, according to one comment on Youtube a source close to AB confirmed that the conception of Box 2 posed a problem because TOEI were very nitpicky.
Now it seems that the long awaited follow-up to the much loved Dragon Ball Blu-Ray set will not be coming because AB finally got fed up of dealing with TOEI and didn’t want to use upscales.
Contrary to popular belief the Blu-Rays were not cancelled because of AB’s decision to use the broadcast audio, but simply because they wanted to go above and beyond to make this release the best it could possibly be.
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.
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.
More screenings are being spotted for the upcoming re-release of Dragon Ball Z : Battle of Gods in theatres.
Only 4 days ago Twitter/X user Christopher Galazka spotted listings for March 1st and 2nd, which is when the movie will be screening in various other European countries.
As Odeon Cinemas also operate in Ireland we checked to see was there any screenings for the Emerald Isle. Turns out there will be, in the lesser known city of Limerick.
As of the announcement of these screenings, and the previously announced Savoy Cinema screenings all four of the revival era Dragon Ball movies (Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, Broly and Super Hero) have received theatrical runs in the UK and Ireland, as previously these territories only had Battle of Gods at one film festival (Scotland Loves Anime 2014) and one convention (Nom Con 2014).
As such the premier of this dub of Dragon Ball Super marks a generational shift in how content is consumed since Dragon Ball Z initially aired in Denmark before the big streaming boom we are currently living in.
If Dragon Ball Super completes it’s run it should be possible in theory more Dragon Ball content will be licensed for Danish dubbing in future.
