20 years into the formats history and just in time for the 30th anniversary of the series it has just been announced that Dragon Ball GT will be receiving a Blu-Ray release.
This upcoming release will be in Spain from distributor Selecta Vision, who have released a lot of Dragon Ball content on home video in the country, including recent Blu-Rays of not just the original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z but also Dragon Ball Kai and the movies.
No release date is yet known but Selecta Vision distributed posters at the Manga Barcelona 2025 event announcing this release.
These posters were leaked by a user named Vercery on forums and a fan contacted Selecta Vision to verify the information.
Furthermore a user named Bicho_86 supplied the image below, which went unnoticed by the Spanish fanbase for a few days following the announcement.
Suffice to say Selecta Vision did confirm the news, so soon Spanish fans can look forward to completing their classic anime trilogies on a HD format.
As such, it seems these extras have been phased out and never got a UK release.
The only difference, as Emsen points out, other than the placement of Crunchyroll’s logos and BBFC ratings the disc art depicts the four star Dragon Ball rather than a plain blue and white background.
This will come as a disappointment to fans clamouring for the original 4:3 aspect ratio, but it is very telling that Manga UK cared about what the fans wanted. Crunchyroll has been a much less customer-focused company.
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:

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.
A new Complete Series Blu-Ray collection seems to be coming if the recent leak on Rightstuff is to be believed.
If true, fans in North America can expect a new collection of all 291 episodes of Dragon Ball Z from November 5th this year with a price as low as $142.49.
This is not the first time Crunchyroll has released all of Dragon Ball Z since the rebrand from Funimation, as an Amazon-exclusive set was released last year.
It is unlikely the discs will be anything other than Funimation’s 2013/2014 16:9 cropped Blu-Rays, so if anyone has this release, either from its original print run, the rebranded Crunchyroll sets or even the 2007-2009 season sets this release is probably worth skipping.
