Tonight after the final episodes of original Dragon Ball dubbed for Cartoon Network India the channel will be airing the 2013 movie natively titled Battle of Gods between 10pm and 11:30pm.
The movie originally aired on November 3, 2024 dubbed in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
Dragon Ball to this day, has never been released in an official capacity in the Czech Republic outside of foreign broadcasts natives could access through the use of a satellite.
That all is about to change today.
At one point it seemed Dragon Ball GT was on a list of shows dubbed into Czech.
While it was looking like Dragon Ball GT would be dubbed in the native language in early 2010, like Hungary, ultimately it was only shown subbed when the series made its debut in October 2011.
On this day however Battle of Gods (originally titled Kami to Kami) will be shown in theatres.
This is exciting news for all Czech fans, and could bode well for more Dragon Ball content being brought to their country if the movie performs well.
As we reported previously today on March 1st the 14th Dragon Ball Z movie Battle of Gods will be screening at a Cinestar theatre at Prishtina Mall in Kosovo.
What’s exciting about these screenings is that it could provide Dragon Ball another chance to have success in Kosovo. Originally the 1986 Dragon Ball anime aired on the channel Kohavision twice in 2003, but it is not known if any of the series was aired on TV or streamed since then.

Kohavision was of course the channel that aired the original, long-lost Albanian dub of original Dragon Ball where Son Goku’s name was mispronounced ‘Son Joke-U”.
Kanzenshuu user damn also reported that in the early 2000s there was a commercial tie-in for Dragon Ball where puzzle pieces were sold with puff snacks, although it was less popular than the panini sticker album challenge for Digimon fans, but that children enjoyed to collect them.
Curiously enough a Dragon Ball drawing was spotted in the deputy prime minister’s office.
A listing has been spotted for the 14th Dragon Ball Z movie Battle of Gods (originally known as Kami to Kami) in Finland for March 16th this year.
This will mark the second time a Dragon Ball movie has hit Finnish theatres since the most recent instalment Dragon Ball Super : Super Hero was released in 2022.
As the distributor Piece of Magic Entertainment announced two weeks ago Battle of Gods would be screening in over 25 European countries, that number has now been reached as the movie is scheduled to be screened in 26 countries throughout the continent.
Finnish fans will be familiar with Dragon Ball from the 2003-2007 broadcasts on SubTV (now MTV Sub) and the local manga releases.
A listing has been spotted for the 14th Dragon Ball Z movie Battle of Gods (originally known as Kami to Kami) in Icelandic theatres.
The movie is set to be released on March 15th, a whole two weeks after its launch in Europe this weekend.
This screening will mark the second time a Dragon Ball movie has ever screened in Iceland as the most recent movie in the franchise Dragon Ball Super : Super Hero was released on August 18, 2022.
The movie will also be released in Smárabíó cinemas.
Recently it was noted that Odeon Cinemas were bringing the 2013 Dragon Ball Z movie Battle of Gods (originally Kami to Kami) to various theatres across the UK and Ireland.
Now it appears another theatre chain will be bringing the movie to more screens than originally expected.
That theatre chain is Omniplex, and numerous screenings have been announced for cities like Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow and Birmingham but also smaller urban areas like Sutton, Sligo and Newry.
Omniplex’s screenings appear to be dubbed.
The full list of screenings is as follows:
Republic of Ireland : Arklow, Balbriggan, Ballinasloe, Carlow, Cork, Drogheda – Scotch Hall, Dublin – Rathmines, Dundalk, Galway – Salthill, Killarney, Limerick, Longford, Monaghan, Mullingar, Nenagh, Roscommon, Shannon, Sligo, Tralee, Waterford, Wexford
Northern Ireland : Antrim, Armagh, Banbridge, Bangor, Belfast – Dundonald, Belfast – Kennedy Centre, Carrickfergus, Craigavon, Derry, Downpatrick, Dungannon, Larne, Lisburn, Newry, Omagh
Scotland : Glasgow – Clydebank
England : Birmingham – Great Park, High Wycombe, Ipswich, Sunderland, Sutton Surrey, Wigan
This will be the widest release any Dragon Ball Z movie has had in the UK and Ireland and the second widest release in the franchise overall with over 53 locations announced. By comparison, the most recent movie Dragon Ball Super : Super Hero received 111 screenings across both territories.
Nonetheless for a movie being re-released the number of screenings is fantastic news.
It has just been announced Switzerland will also get screenings of the 14th Dragon Ball Z movie Battle of Gods (originally known as Kami To Kami).
The two screenings, which tickets are already on sale for will be held on March 1st and 2nd at 3:30pm and 1pm respectively.
The previous two movies Dragon Ball Super : Broly and Dragon Ball Super : Super Hero were released in Swiss theatres on March 20, 2019 and August 30, 2022 respectively.
Although Battle of Gods was screened in several countries back in 2013-2014 neither it nor its sequel Resurrection ‘F’ were ever screened in Switzerland, but now natives have a chance to see it on the big screen.
Swiss fans will be familiar with Dragon Ball from the watching the German dub on TV3 in 1999-2001 or French, German and Italian channels, which were accessible through the use of cable providers.
Previously we reported that Odeon Cinemas were bringing the 2013 Dragon Ball Z movie Battle of Gods to the UK and Ireland.
The screenings that were listed included 6 on or near Dublin and 2 in different parts of the country (namely Waterford and Limerick).
Now Cineworld and Vue have listed screenings for the movie, which was never screened in Ireland other than at the Nom Con Convention in 2014.
Cineworld will be showing the movie subbed on March 1st and 2nd.
There are also screenings in Vue at the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre, which includes a dub option.
Previously it was reported that Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods would be screened in France, but recently listings have been spotted in other French-speaking territories curiously on the same date.
Luxembourg and Belgium will both be receiving screenings of the movie on March 8, 2025.
Fans in both territories would be familiar with Dragon Ball from the broadcasts on Club RTL and MCM in 1995-1996 and the late 90s respectively.
Previously we reported that Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods would be screening in Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, the UK, Poland and Germany.
Now screenings have been spotted in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Latvia, Portugal, Serbia and Sweden.

With these new additions the number of territories Battle of Gods is being screened in stands at 23, meaning in Europe the movie is getting a wide release throughout the continent.
No screenings outside Europe have been announced, although in 2023 a similar 2-day run of the extended cut of the movie was shown in North America.
