That prospect emerged the other day when ADR director Dariusz Kosmowski said on Facebook he would dub Battle of Gods if his post got 2,000 likes by February 7, 2025.
Dariusz Kosmowski was the director for the Polish dubs of Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Kai, which premiered on Polsat Games in 2018 and 2023 respectively.
Battle of Gods will be screening in Poland on March 15, 2025, a whole two weeks after its release date in many other European territories.
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).
A week after that comes Poland, and although we have been told privately Studio PDK creates Polish subs for the distributor Piece of Magic Entertainment, and have been requesting them to order a dub we have not been able to double source this information, so for now it’s best to take it with a grain of salt.
The final territory for this new theatrical run is Germany, which opens on March 18th with further screenings that weekend on March 22nd and 23rd and includes dub screenings.
This is great news, as many of these countries have never received Battle of Gods in theatres and will provide fans with another chance to catch the first movie of Dragon Ball’s revival era on the big screen.
As we reported previously the Dutch distributor Piece of Magic Entertainment will be screening the 14th Dragon Ball Z movie and first of the revival era Battle of Gods in select European countries.
Now it seems that the movie will be returning to screens in France where it was only shown briefly in the past.
Paris-based media firm AlloCiné have reportedBattle of Gods will be returning to French screens on March 8th and 9th 2025.
While the movie did not get a wide theatrical release in France, it was shown on at least two occasions at the Grand Rex, once with sequel Resurrection F, and again with both Resurrection F and Broly.
Dragon Ball has long been a cultural phenomenon in France, and there’s no doubt there will be much excitement for these screenings.
Bandbudh Aur Budbak previously took the aforementioned 12:15pm Sunday timeslot prior to original Dragon Ball, which was to air after Battle of Gods from 2pm-4pm, but it moved to a 1:30pm timeslot.
As such, given the runtime of Battle of Gods it is likely original Dragon Ball will return to its former 2pm timeslot.
Once again Bandbudh Aur Budbak will be airing at 11:30am followed by original Dragon Ball from 1:30pm-4pm.
Episodes 34-38 of Dragon Ball were broadcast last week, so this week episodes 39-43 should be expected.
This will be disappointing news, not only for Indian fans that may have wanted a local release of Battle of Gods since 2013, but also for anyone that wanted a Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam or Kannada dub.
Suffice to say original Dragon Ball will continue to be aired with all five languages tracks.
In terms of where Cartoon Network India is at with original Dragon Ball, Episodes 34-38 aired today.
It is not known why the Indian premier of Battle of Gods was unexpectedly cancelled, or when it will now be released, although we will report on it when and if there is further updates on the matter.
Toons Anime India has just shared a promo from Cartoon Network India, which confirms that in less than a month, the first Dragon Ball movie of the revival era – Battle of Gods (or The Battle of Gods as it will seemingly be referred to natively) will be coming.
As was the case with the TV specials Battle of Gods will be marketed as a “blockbuster” to generate hype.
The channel is currently airing original Dragon Ball at 2pm on Sundays. Episodes 13-18 aired yesterday and episodes 19-24 are set to air this week just after the premier of History of Trunks.
As is now standard with all Dragon Ball content aired on Cartoon Network India, Battle of Gods will receive five dubs in different languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
Uttam Pal Singh, the head of the kids cluster in South Asia for Warner Brothers Discovery (the owner of Cartoon Network India) said he wishes for the channel to be the place for the movies of the season, so it is possible after Battle of Gods the channel will dub the other revival era movies Resurrection ‘F’, Broly and Super Hero.
In any case watch this space for further updates on all things Dragon Ball in India and elsewhere.
